AI: Summary ©
The speaker discusses the confusion surrounding the title of Islam, citing all messengers and prophets as equal and the importance of honoring prophets and the use of multiple messenger. They emphasize the importance of not acknowledging the differences between the title of Islam and the title of the United States and emphasize the importance of adherence to the Bible and not allowing falsehood.

Ibrahim alaihi salatu

00:00:01 --> 00:00:04

salam, prophet Isa, all of them are mentioned.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

But generally speaking they are mentioned throughout the

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

Quran.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

And Allah is saying those messengers

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

what about them?

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Allah said we have given virtue

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

some

00:00:20 --> 00:00:20

over others.

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

So some have been given more virtue than

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

others more fadl.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

And

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

what does that mean?

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

among them are those whom Allah spoke to.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:38

So Allah did not speak directly to all

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

the prophets

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

but among them are some whom Allah

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

spoke to.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

And Allah said some Allah has given or

00:00:49 --> 00:00:49

raised

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

degrees above others in honor. Allah has raised

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

some degrees above others in in honor.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

And now Allah said specifically mentioning prophet Isa.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:00

Waaatayna

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

Isa minamariamalbayinat.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

And we have given clear proofs

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

and evidences

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

to the son of Mariam. Esa the son

00:01:10 --> 00:01:10

of Mariam.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

And we have supported

00:01:18 --> 00:01:18

with

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

the purified

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

spirit and this is referencing Einyu Jibril.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

So what are we learning here?

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

We're learning that the messengers of Allah are

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

not all equal.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

The messengers of Allah

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

are not all equal in virtue.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

All of the messengers and all of the

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

prophets are better and greater and more virtuous

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

than the rest of mankind.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

All of the prophets,

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

they are better and more virtuous than the

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

rest of mankind. There is no human being

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

that walk this earth that is better than

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

a prophet.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

Because they are the ones that know Allah

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

the most,

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

they are the ones that fear Allah the

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

most, they are the ones that love Allah

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

the most, they are the ones that worship

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

Allah the most.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

So because they cannot be,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

compared with in piety,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

that makes them by default the most virtuous.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

But what about amongst themselves?

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

Are all the messengers equal in virtue?

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

Allah is telling us no.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

Some have more fadl than others.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

The ulama when

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

they were discussing this particular ayah,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

it seemingly

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

And I want you to pay attention to

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

this word. It seemingly

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

contradicted

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

certain hadith.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

And what are those hadith?

00:02:36 --> 00:02:36

Some narrations

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

where the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

Do not claim that I am better than

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

prophet Musa.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

Or

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

do not come do not,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

put some prophets above others

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

or Do not say I meaning the prophet

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

himself am better than the prophet of Yunus.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

So you have all these narrations and in

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

fact there's one story that happened during the

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

where

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

the because we all know when the prophet's

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

in Madinah

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

the Arabs that lived there,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

they had neighbors who were Jewish Arabs,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

who followed Judaism.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

And which prophet would they then revere?

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

Which prophet? Prophet?

00:03:26 --> 00:03:26

Musa.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:28

So as

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

one of the believers and the companions

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

and one of these Jewish Arabs

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

were discussing something, he said,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

I swear by Musa

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

whom Allah has chosen and preferred over all

00:03:43 --> 00:03:43

creation.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

Who said this? The Jewish man.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

The sahabi got upset at this

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

because he felt

00:03:51 --> 00:03:51

that

00:03:52 --> 00:03:52

this was

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

a statement

00:03:55 --> 00:03:55

that was

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

disrespectful

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

to who?

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

To the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

And then what did he do? He said

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

you're a liar.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

And he hid him.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

And he said there's no one more virtuous

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

than the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

The yahudi,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

he came to the prophet complaining.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

Saying, look at what your companion has done

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

to me. And when the prophet was told

00:04:18 --> 00:04:19

about this,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

he said, none of you claim that I

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

am more virtuous

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

than Musa.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

Right? And there are many narrations like that.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

One time a man came to the prophet

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

and he said, oh best of creation.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

O best of creation.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:33

Youkhirulbariyyah.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

And the prophet said, Taq Ibrahim.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

That's Ibrahim. He is the best of creation.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

Now, how do you reconcile

00:04:43 --> 00:04:43

that

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

with this ayah, which kriya Allah is telling

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

us and teaching us that some prophets

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

are greater than others.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

The way you do that and there's 2

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

ways that the ulama have reconciled them. Some

00:04:56 --> 00:04:57

of them said that perhaps

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

when the prophet

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

was making those statements, this ayah was not

00:05:01 --> 00:05:01

revealed.

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

So in his view, in his eyes, all

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

the prophets were equal and thus it was

00:05:06 --> 00:05:06

inappropriate

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

to claim that one is better or more

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

virtuous or greater than the other.

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

Some others said no.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam understood and

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

knew that some prophets were better than others

00:05:17 --> 00:05:17

but

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

it was his humility

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

and his tawaduah

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

and there is a difference between

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

that the prophet Muhammad being the greatest prophet

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

and prophet Muhammad repeatedly saying

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

or that being used as a mechanism of

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

this prophet is that prophet as a means

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

to demean the other prophets. This is what

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

needs to be avoided.

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

So from this unit principle,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

do we believe that all of the messengers

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

and prophets are equal? No. I do not

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

believe that because Allah says

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

here, those messengers

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

Some have been given more fadl and more

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

virtue and more honor than others.

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

And Allah describes,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:00

aspects and examples

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

of that Fadl.

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

So what do we believe about the prophets?

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

Who is the most who is the greatest

00:06:08 --> 00:06:09

messenger and prophet?

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

Who knows this answer?

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

That is Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is the

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

greatest messenger and prophet.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

And this there is absolutely no difference of

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

opinion on this.

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

The most beloved of Allah's creation to him

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

is Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

The second greatest prophet is prophet Ibrahim alaihi

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

sallahu alaihi wa sallam And those 2 messengers

00:06:37 --> 00:06:37

and prophets,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

those 2 messengers, Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

and his great great great grandfather prophet Ibrahim,

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

they enjoy or they have a station, a

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

virtue, a fable

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

that only them 2 have been given.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

And that is being the Khalil of Allah.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

Being the Khalil of Allah which is a

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

special kind of love

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

that is reserved to those 2 great prophets.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

What does it mean to be a khalil?

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

The word khalil

00:07:05 --> 00:07:07

when the Ulemaan they talk about it they

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

say that So for example,

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

this is something Allah said about takallallahuibrahim

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

al Khalil. Allah took Ibrahim as his khalil.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

Allah took Ibrahim as his khalil.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

A

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

one that is closer to you and you

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

love more than anyone else. That's what it

00:07:22 --> 00:07:23

means.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

And

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

this was true for prophet Muhammad as mentioned

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

in the hadith

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

and for prophet Ibrahim as mentioned in a

00:07:31 --> 00:07:31

in the ayah.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

Then after that you have the 3 other

00:07:34 --> 00:07:34

messengers,

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

Musa alayhi salatu wa sallam,

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

Isa ibn Maryam alayhi salatu wa sallam

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

Those 5 together,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

prophet Muhammad,

00:07:46 --> 00:07:47

prophet Ibrahim,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

prophet Nuhr, Musa and Aissa

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

are together known as the ululazmi

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

mina rusul. They are the 5 single greatest

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

messengers

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

who have more honor and virtue than the

00:07:58 --> 00:07:59

rest.

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

Then you have

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

sometimes Allah

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

will give a prophet something He has not

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

given another prophet.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

So for example,

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

Allah gave prophet Musa the honor of speaking

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

to him directly and other prophets, Allah did

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

not give him that honor. And Allah subhanahu

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

wa'ala honored prophet Isa with certain miracles that

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

he did not give to prophet Musa.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

And similarly with all the other messengers and

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

prophets as well. But as a general rule,

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

what do we believe in? The first principle

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

is that among humanity, there's no one greater

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

than the rusul, the messengers.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

And the second thing is that although there

00:08:35 --> 00:08:37

is preference between prophets

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

in their virtue and honor,

00:08:39 --> 00:08:40

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam taught us

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

that this is not something to be

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

used to demean other messengers. So when Amadu

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

say, he he, Muhammad is better than Isa

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

ibn Maryam

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

with the intention of putting down Prophet Isa.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

But it is a fact that some prophets

00:08:55 --> 00:08:55

are better

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57

than others and Allah

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

gives that. Isn't it not true that certain

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

times are better than other times? Ramadan is

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

better than other months.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

Isn't it true that certain places are better

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

than other places? The haram is better than

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

anywhere else in the world?

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

Isn't it true that certain,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

types of water are more better than others?

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

Zamzam is not the same as so Allah,

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

among his creations, some are better than others

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

and this is perfectly fine. And similarly with

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

his messengers and prophets.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

Then Allah specifically mentioned certain things about certain

00:09:27 --> 00:09:27

prophets.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

From among those messengers

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

are those whom Allah

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

spoke to directly.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

Who is Allah referencing here that immediately comes

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

to your mind?

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

None?

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

Prophet Musa alaihis salatu wa sallam. Allah mentioned

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

this in the Quran several times. Right?

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

Allah mentions that particularly prophet Musa was honored

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

with Allah speaking to him directly. Question.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

Is prophet Musa the only prophet

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

that Allah spoke to directly

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

or were there more?

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

Is prophet Musa

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

the only prophet Allah spoke directly

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

or are there more? The scholars differ over

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

this but definitely we know of 1 prophet

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

that Allah spoke to directly.

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

That's prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. When

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

did this happen? During the night journey, the

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

ascension.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

when the prophet was taken to Allah by

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

Angel Jibril

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

and he ascended and ascended and ascended above

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

until he reached the stage where evil angel

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

Jibril could not go. And the prophet ascended

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

by himself and the almighty

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

spoke to him and he heard Allah directly.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

So

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

when Allah says among them are those whom

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

Allah spoke directly,

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

We definitely know that is prophet Musa and

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

also prophet

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Is there any

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

other messenger whom Allah spoke to directly?

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09

Other than and not not through the angel

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

Jibril but directly. Some of the ulama they

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

say there is another prophet. And that would

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

be prophet Adam alaihi sallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:17

Prophet Adam.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

And, there's an erasure that mentioned that

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

he is a prophet that Allah spoke to

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

directly.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

So from amongst them are those whom Allah

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

spoke to directly.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

Is there a non prophet whom Allah spoke

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

directly?

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

Is there a non prophet

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

whom Allah spoke to directly? Yes?

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

I'm talking about the virtuous person whom Allah

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

spoke to directly.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

Yes.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

That's homework. There is a companion. There is

00:11:46 --> 00:11:46

a companion

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

whom the prophet mentioned that Allah spoke to

00:11:52 --> 00:11:53

him

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

directly without a barrier. Allah spoke to him

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

without a wasiqa. Who that prophet is? Maybe

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

next week someone. Those of you that come

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

here can let me know. And those of

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

you that are watching maybe you can share

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

it in the comment section. Insha'Allah.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

It's a very beautiful story.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

Of course, it is the after

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

I think someone's looking at Adam, are you

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

looking up looking up right now?

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

Allahu stand.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

Haylisha Allah.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

Among them are those whom Allah subhanahu wa

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

ta'ala spoke to. We mentioned prophet Muhammad salallahu

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

alayhi wa sallam, prophet

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

Musa and Akun Suri Alama, prophet Adam.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

And

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

Allah has raised

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

others in honor.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

What does it mean for Allah subhanahu wa

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

ta'ala to raise them and who is this

00:12:41 --> 00:12:42

in reference to?

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

Some of the scholars of Sheikh mentioned, desire

00:12:45 --> 00:12:45

is referencing

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Prophet Muhammad

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala raise his honor

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

above all others.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

And so that way is

00:12:58 --> 00:12:59

mainly referencing

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

prophet Musa.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

Is referencing prophet Muhammad.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

And Musa 'Isa and and the prophet others

00:13:08 --> 00:13:09

said, Warafa

00:13:09 --> 00:13:13

'Aba'adhum darajat is referencing a prophet whom Allah

00:13:13 --> 00:13:13

said,

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

and we have raised him up to a

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

high place. Who knows which prophet Allah has

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

talked about

00:13:27 --> 00:13:27

ayah?

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

Allah, let's say prophet about prophet, Isa. You're

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

right.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

There was an ayah that mentions Barrafahullahillahi.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

And that's what you're you're referencing. But it

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

was talking about Prophet Izza Prophet Idris alaihis

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

salallahu alaihi wa sallam. So some of them

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

said, Allah has stuck and heard about Idris.

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

And others said, It is all about all

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

the prophets because Allah raised them in honor

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

and in virtue some over others.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:53

And now Allah said,

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

And we have given Isa, the son of

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

Maryam, clear evidences

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

and proofs.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

Evidences and proofs of what?

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

Evidences and proofs that he is a

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

prophet. What was some of these evidences and

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

proofs that Allah gave him?

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala There is a hadith

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

where the prophet said,

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16

never has Allah sent a prophet

00:14:16 --> 00:14:20

except Allah gave that prophet proofs that allow

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

the people to believe him,

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

meaning that to distinguish him from other people.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

Because many can claim prophethood,

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

so whenever Allah sends a prophet, Allah would

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

send with that prophet

00:14:31 --> 00:14:35

miracles and evidences and bayinat and proofs that

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

made it easier for the people to believe

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

in him. So for prophet Isa, what was

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

that? What would be bayyanat?

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

Does anyone know?

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

For example,

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

among the miracles and if you read Surah

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

Al Imran, you will see many of them.

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

He will speak to people as an infant,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

as a child and as an old

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

as a as a man. So among the

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

signs and the bayina Allah gave him is

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

that he

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

spoke as a child, as an infant. These

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

are among the miracles of who? Prophet Isa

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

alaihi sallahu alaihi sallam. What was among his

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

miracles? Allah mentions

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

he will he will heal the one that

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

cannot speak, allowing him to speak with the

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

permission of Allah. And the one that cannot

00:15:21 --> 00:15:23

see, allowing him to see with the permission

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

of Allah. And the one that's suffering from

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

virus and leprosy,

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

he would heal them through the permission of

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

Allah These were all signs

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

that were evidence that this man is not

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

an ordinary man. He is a prophet of

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

Allah

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

Even

00:15:37 --> 00:15:38

even,

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

reviving the dead. Even reviving the dead with

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

the permission of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

heal motor

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

when you revive it. All of this, of

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

course, is with the permission of Allah

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

These are all,

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

and then Allah says

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

And we have supported

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

him who, prophet with

00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

the

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

which is angel Jibril. So angel Jibril was

00:16:06 --> 00:16:06

supporting

00:16:07 --> 00:16:07

and aiding

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

prophet Isa, ibn Maryam.

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala always says, Isa, ibn

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

Maryam, except for a few places. Always mentioning

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

Maryam. Isa the son of Maryam. Isa the

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

son of Maryam. What are some of the

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

wisdoms of always saying Isa the son of

00:16:20 --> 00:16:20

Maryam?

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

What is the claim of the nazarah? That

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

he's the son of who?

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

Well Iyadabillah the son of of God. So

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

to counter that Allah always says, He's the

00:16:29 --> 00:16:29

son of

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

Mariam. He's the son of Mariam.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

The last messenger of Ben Israel.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

Israel. Then Allah

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

after talking about all the different prophets that

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

were sent,

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

Allah said,

00:16:52 --> 00:16:54

And if Allah had willed

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

if Allah had willed

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

generations after

00:17:00 --> 00:17:01

those prophets,

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

they would not have fought against each other

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

after the clear ayaat came to them.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

But they differed.

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

Some believed and some disbelieved.

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

And if Allah willed, they would not have

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

fought against one another. But Allah does what

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

he likes.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:22

So what is the ayah in reference to?

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is teaching us here

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

that those messengers,

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

they came with a message.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

They came with a message. Each messenger came

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

with a message. And the message they came

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

with was a message that was the same.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

The essence of it, the foundation of it

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

was the same.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

Single out Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in worship.

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

That was the main message of all of

00:17:43 --> 00:17:43

the prophets.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

Connecting the people to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

and disconnecting them with anything that isn't Allah

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

subhanahu wa ta'ala from a worship perspective.

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

And they also taught them how to worship.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:55

Now after those prophets left

00:17:55 --> 00:17:58

after those prophets left, generations after, what happened

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

between them?

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

Well, they fought each other.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

What led to them fighting? So Allah Subhanahu

00:18:04 --> 00:18:07

wa'amala is saying that the after the messengers

00:18:07 --> 00:18:07

came,

00:18:08 --> 00:18:09

this led to humanity

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

being at odds, fighting each other.

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

What was the main cause of those of

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

that fighting? Ikhtilaf

00:18:17 --> 00:18:17

differing.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

Differing over what? Differing over the message of

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

the prophets.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

Those that agreed,

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

those that disagreed. Those that accepted,

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

those that rejected. Those that followed, those that

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

didn't follow. And that caused what? In fighting.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

That caused And and and

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

the lesson here is

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

when the prophets bring the message,

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

the idea is that that message unites the

00:18:42 --> 00:18:42

people.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

There is no khilaf because everything that we

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

differ over, we should be referencing back to

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

the prophets which will lead to unity, cohesion

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

and peace.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:51

But

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

mankind's nature being that some will disobey, some

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

will reject, some will go against

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

is like Allah

00:19:02 --> 00:19:02

said,

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

He is the one that created you. Some

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

of you are believers and some of you

00:19:06 --> 00:19:06

are disbelievers.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

That this led to wars.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

This led to fighting, animosity

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

and this is something the sira,

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

the battle between truth and falsehood,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:20

between disbelief and belief, between the followers and

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

the rejecters is something that will continue on

00:19:23 --> 00:19:23

always.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

And you had it with bani Israel, those

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

that followed Musa and those that didn't follow

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

Musa. You have the prophet Isa, those that

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

followed him and those that didn't follow him.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

You had it during the time of the

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and you have

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

it until today. And the world, generally speaking,

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

is split into those 2.

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

Right? And it's sometimes

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

easy to lose sight of that.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

But generally speaking, there's 2 camps. There's 2

00:19:47 --> 00:19:47

camps.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

The camp of those who follow the prophets

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

and the camp of those who don't follow

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

the prophets. The accept those who accept the

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

truth and those that reject the truth. And

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

those will always be at odds with each

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

other. Those will always be at odds with

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

each other.

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

Because

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

haqq and baatil do not mix.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

They don't mix.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:16

1 has to give. 1 has to give.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

Now, why is it important for the believer

00:20:18 --> 00:20:22

to understand that? Because in your eyes,

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

don't ever let falsehood

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

be something that is acceptable.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:28

Falsehood

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

is never acceptable.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

Falsehood is never acceptable,

00:20:32 --> 00:20:33

Right.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:36

And you always have to believe I must

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

stand for the haqq

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

and I must be against falsehood.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

In what capacity you are against falsehood, will

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

depend on your circumstances.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

Sometimes

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

you are speaking out against falsehood.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

Sometimes

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

you are changing falsehood with your hand.

00:20:54 --> 00:20:57

Sometimes you're hating falsehood in your heart. But

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

the one thing that has to stay constant

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

is that you

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

as an agent of khair, of truth,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

you as a as a follower of the

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

passengers,

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

you on the right side

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

should never allow any acceptance

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

of falsehood.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:16

And just like that, they are at odds

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

and sometimes that will lead boil up to

00:21:19 --> 00:21:21

the point where they are fighting

00:21:21 --> 00:21:23

and sometimes it will not be fighting but

00:21:23 --> 00:21:24

it will be dialogue

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

and debate, and sometimes it will be less

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

than that. But the point is, what causes

00:21:31 --> 00:21:31

the

00:21:32 --> 00:21:32

disagreement?

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

What what causes it? It causes the relationship

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

people have with the haqq.

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

The relationship people have with the haqq. And

00:21:41 --> 00:21:42

you as a believer,

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

your wala and bara,

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

who you associate with and who you disassociate

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

from,

00:21:48 --> 00:21:49

who you,

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

bring close and who you don't.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

The main factor

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

should be based upon that individual's relationship to

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

the truth, to the haqq. The adherence to

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

the Haqq and the truth. This is very

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

important to understand. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:22:02 --> 00:22:03

is teaching us here that

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

after the messengers came with the truth, when

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

prophet Musa came with the Torah,

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

when prophet Isa came with Injil, when Rasool

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

alaihi wa sallam came with the Quran,

00:22:12 --> 00:22:13

that caused

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

a rift between mankind.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

And this led to fighting between mankind.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said this this

00:22:21 --> 00:22:21

happened

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

After the clear ayat of Allah came to

00:22:27 --> 00:22:27

them.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:28

Now

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

a ummah

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

that accepts

00:22:33 --> 00:22:36

the ayaat and acts upon them is an

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

ummah that is united.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

An ummah that is disunited

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

is an ummah that there are some problems

00:22:42 --> 00:22:45

in in your adherence to the Quran and

00:22:45 --> 00:22:48

the sunnah revelation. Even within the Muslim ummah.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:22:52 --> 00:22:52

heavily,

00:22:53 --> 00:22:54

spoke against the

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

the spilling of blood and the fighting even

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

between believers.

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

And the prophet

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

did that by telling us that we should

00:23:02 --> 00:23:02

not,

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

have this unity among ourselves.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

We should strive to be united.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

A lot of our acts of worship,

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

there is an essence of there's a semblance

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

of unity in it. We pray together.

00:23:17 --> 00:23:21

We visit each other. We marry from each

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23

other. We go to Hajj together. There's a

00:23:23 --> 00:23:25

lot of communal aspects of it. This is

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

to enhance the bonds between believers.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

And then you have,

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

things that are prohibited.

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

It is prohibited to lie to each other.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

It is prohibited to backbite each other. It

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

is prohibited to,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

steal from one another. What will that do?

00:23:41 --> 00:23:42

It will create a community

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

that is close to each other, that trust

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

each other, that helps each other, that aids

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

each other. And that's extremely important.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

That is the adherence of the Quran sunnah

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

being a jail and bring us all together.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

Now,

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

if we go against the Quran,

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

it will then we will split. Why? Because

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

there will be those that went against and

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

those that went for and this is the

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

khilaf that happens. And sometimes

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

the and the disunity is between,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

the truth and falsehood is kufr and Islam.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

Belief and disbelief.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:16

And sometimes within Islam it's between innovation and

00:24:16 --> 00:24:16

sunnah.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:19

And sometimes it is between,

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

sin and and and and obedience.

00:24:22 --> 00:24:25

But in any case, any hiraq that happens,

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

it tends to happen with whether some are

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

adhering and some aren't.

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

And this teaches you something else. That's the

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

only hiraq that's acceptable.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

That's the only It's not acceptable as in

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

it's not it's not encouraged,

00:24:36 --> 00:24:36

but

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

if there is a disagreement

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

and 2 people are splitting apart,

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

it better be for the right reasons.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

Meaning,

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

we cannot do it for dunya reasons.

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

We cannot do it for dunya reasons. And

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

even if it's religious,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

it's meant to be remedied. It's meant to

00:24:56 --> 00:24:56

be remedied. Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

his final sermon he said,

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

Do not become disbelievers

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

after me killing each other.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

Killing each other is a consequence of this

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

unit in Iqtalaf,

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

which is a consequence of not adhering to

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

the Quran and the sunnah. So where does

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

the remedy end the end lie in? And

00:25:16 --> 00:25:17

coming back to the Quran and the sunnah.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

But how do we heal the ummah? By

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

accepting the Quran and the sunnah.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

By making that the focal point everyone,

00:25:25 --> 00:25:28

goes back to. A couple that have this

00:25:28 --> 00:25:28

agreement,

00:25:29 --> 00:25:30

if they both accept

00:25:31 --> 00:25:31

that

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

that the Quran and the sunnah of the

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

prophet wasalam is their guide,

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

then many of the problems can be solved

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

because you will say who's right and who's

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

wrong. But it all has to come from

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

a place of obedience.

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

Those succeeding the generation succeeding those prophets would

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

not have fought against each other after the

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

clear verses came to them but

00:25:58 --> 00:26:00

but they deferred. They deferred.

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

And they became 2 camps, followers and rejecters.

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

And among them were those that believed,

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

like the prophets and the Sahaba and those

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

that followed in their

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

footsteps. There were those that disbelieved,

00:26:14 --> 00:26:15

like some of the men of Quraish, like

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

Abu Jahl, like all the disbelievers

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

that we have from the time of the

00:26:19 --> 00:26:20

prophet all the way till now and even

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

before that.

00:26:29 --> 00:26:29

Thought.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

This is what he wants. This is Allah's

00:26:31 --> 00:26:31

creation.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:32

Allah

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

is the one that instills in the heart

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

unity, in disunity and acceptance and rejection. And

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

if the day Allah is teaching us that

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

this is the qadr of Allah and this

00:26:41 --> 00:26:43

is how things will always be. The

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

the battle between truth and falsehood,

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

Islam and disbelief and kufr will always go

00:26:50 --> 00:26:52

on. Your responsibility is to ensure that you're

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

always on the right side of that. May

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

Allah allow us to be guided and to

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

be among those that do not differ.

00:26:59 --> 00:27:00

And if there's difference it is upon the

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

Quran and the sunnah adhering you are adhering

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

to the Quran and sunnah versus people that

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

are not doing that. May Allah

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

guide us all.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

Then Allah says,

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

Spend

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

some of that which we have provided for

00:27:20 --> 00:27:20

you.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:22

Spend

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

some of that which we have provided for

00:27:24 --> 00:27:24

you.

00:27:28 --> 00:27:29

Before a day comes,

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

There is no bargaining that day. Protect

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

us. Us.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

There is no close friendship that day.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

There's no intercession on that day.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

And the disbelievers.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

They are the wrongdoers and oppressors.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

Here Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is teaching us.

00:27:50 --> 00:27:51

First he's saying,

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

all you who believe. Whenever Allah

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

says, you're meant to listen even more carefully

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

because Allah is speaking to you. Your creator,

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

your lord, your rub is speaking to you.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

Oh you who believe. Yes, oh Allah.

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

Spend. That's the command of Allah subhanahu wa

00:28:06 --> 00:28:07

ta'ala is telling us spend.

00:28:10 --> 00:28:11

Spend all of that which we have given

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

you. You have to give all away? No.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:13

Allah says

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

Some of that which we have provided for

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

you. Here Allah is reminding you of 2

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

things. 1, that you have a responsibility

00:28:22 --> 00:28:22

to spend

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

that which Allah has provided for you and

00:28:25 --> 00:28:27

Allah is also reminding you that whatever you

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

have is not yours. Who gave it to

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

you? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave it to

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

you. And

00:28:34 --> 00:28:37

Allah then is telling us do this.

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

Is this referring to zakat or sadaqa? Some

00:28:39 --> 00:28:40

of the ilaha illama says it's referring to

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

sadaqa. Sometimes it's referring to sadaqa.

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

But the more sound opinion is referring to

00:28:45 --> 00:28:46

both.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

Whether it is an obligatory charity

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

or recommended charity,

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

Allah is telling us, reminding us, encouraging us

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

that we should give for his sake.

00:28:58 --> 00:28:58

And then Allah

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

reminds us why we should give

00:29:02 --> 00:29:03

and hurry in giving

00:29:04 --> 00:29:04

because

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

before a day comes.

00:29:08 --> 00:29:09

This day is referring

00:29:10 --> 00:29:11

to. May Allah

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

forgive us

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

and allow us to be among those that

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

receive their books on their right hand and

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

are forgiving on that day.

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

Before a day comes

00:29:22 --> 00:29:25

There is no selling. There's no transaction. There's

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

no bargaining on that day. You cannot talk

00:29:27 --> 00:29:29

away from yourself that day. It's just you

00:29:29 --> 00:29:30

and your deeds

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

or misdeeds.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

There's no way that day.

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

There's no friendship on that day.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

There's no Khalil that you can go to.

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

Allah mentions,

00:29:46 --> 00:29:46

that everyone

00:29:47 --> 00:29:48

is busy

00:29:48 --> 00:29:51

with themselves. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions in

00:29:51 --> 00:29:52

in Surah Surah Surah to,

00:29:57 --> 00:30:00

Everyone has this an affair that is keeping

00:30:00 --> 00:30:00

you busy.

00:30:01 --> 00:30:01

Right?

00:30:02 --> 00:30:02

Parents

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

are not there to help you. Your children

00:30:05 --> 00:30:07

are not there to help you. Your brothers

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

and your children and your wives and your

00:30:10 --> 00:30:10

parents

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

all run away from you.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

It's gonna be nafsi nafsi.

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

Everyone will be in it for themselves.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:17

Everyone.

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

You will be resurrected alone

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

As you are buried alone,

00:30:22 --> 00:30:25

you will be judged alone. Allah says, Suratul

00:30:25 --> 00:30:26

Mariam, Waquluumatihiyawmalkiyamati

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

froda.

00:30:30 --> 00:30:31

Just you and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on

00:30:31 --> 00:30:33

that day. There's no way you can talk

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

yourself out of it. So what should you

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

do now?

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

What is Allah saying to us? Spend now.

00:30:39 --> 00:30:42

Give now. Give charity at sadaqah now. And

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

what is so special about sadaqah my brothers

00:30:44 --> 00:30:44

and sisters?

00:30:45 --> 00:30:46

I mentioned 2 facts.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

One, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said

00:30:48 --> 00:30:51

in hadith that charity is the shade that

00:30:51 --> 00:30:52

you

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

benefit from under judgement.

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

The shade that you enjoy

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

under judgment will be the amount of charity

00:30:58 --> 00:30:59

that you

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

gave. Right? So if you want shade, give

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

a lot of charity.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

And Nirmala Khayida prophet

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

said that sadaqa

00:31:07 --> 00:31:08

charity

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

extinguishes your sins like water

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

extinguishes fire.

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

So if you're burdened with sin, then we

00:31:15 --> 00:31:17

are all burdened with sin. If you're burdened

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

with errors and mistakes, and we are all

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

burdened with errors and mistakes,

00:31:21 --> 00:31:24

among the ways to do that is to

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

give as much sadaqah as you can. But

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

Allah is also telling us here, give some

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

of that which you have been given. Meaning,

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

you don't have to give everything and this

00:31:32 --> 00:31:32

is Allah

00:31:33 --> 00:31:33

subhanahu

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

wa

00:31:34 --> 00:31:35

ta'ala.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

Before a day comes, there is no bay

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

in it, no transaction, no bargaining.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

There's no friendship.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:43

There are no friends on the judgment except

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

for 1 group. One group. It is very

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

important to make this distinction.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:48

Allah subhanahu wa'ran.

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

Close friends in the dunya

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

on that day will be enemies.

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

Close friends in the duniya

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

on that day will be enemies.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:06

Except those who are pious.

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

Those who are pious,

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

they that will not be the case and

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

there will be some benefit of having pious

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

friends. If you're a pious friend in this

00:32:15 --> 00:32:15

world,

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

then they may be among those that will

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

intercede on your behalf

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

once they enter jannah

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

because what will happen is as people will

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

enter jannah, they will ask each other where

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27

is such and such? Where is such and

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

such? And when they find out that maybe

00:32:29 --> 00:32:31

one of their friends or the people that

00:32:31 --> 00:32:31

they knew

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

has did not have enough good deeds and

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

they are being punished, they will ask Allah

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

subhanahu wa ta'ala to bring them from the

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

fire. And Allah in honor of them

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

will make that person come from the fire.

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

May Allah

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

forgive our sins and our shortcomings and allow

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

us to never see the fire.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

And there will be no intercession other than

00:32:50 --> 00:32:51

the one Allah allows. Right? There will be

00:32:51 --> 00:32:52

no intercession

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

other than the one Allah

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

allows and you're all familiar with inter intercession.

00:32:58 --> 00:32:59

Perhaps I can expand upon it

00:33:00 --> 00:33:00

next week.

00:33:01 --> 00:33:02

Then Allah said,

00:33:04 --> 00:33:05

and the disbelievers,

00:33:05 --> 00:33:06

they

00:33:07 --> 00:33:08

are the wrongdoers.

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

Again, emphasizing the point that the disbelievers,

00:33:11 --> 00:33:13

there's no greater

00:33:13 --> 00:33:13

wrongdoing.

00:33:14 --> 00:33:16

There's no greater wrongdoing

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

and there's no greater form of oppression

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

than the rejection

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

of the message of the prophets.

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

There's no greater form of wrongdoing

00:33:26 --> 00:33:26

than the rejection

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

of the message of the prophets. Those that

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

reject the message of the prophets and disbelieve

00:33:32 --> 00:33:34

and do not adhere, do not follow, do

00:33:34 --> 00:33:35

not worship,

00:33:35 --> 00:33:38

and they are indeed the wally wound the

00:33:38 --> 00:33:39

wrong to us.

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

Next week, we will do the tafsir of

00:33:41 --> 00:33:44

Ayatul Kursi, the greatest ayah in the whole

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

Quran. May Allah allow us to reach it.
