Mustafa Khattab – Tafsir Gems 3

So,

the brother Owais Asfor, who is the brother

of brother Amir Asfor, a member of the

community here, has passed away in Turkey. So

we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to forgive

him and give him Jannah. So after the

talk inshallah talk to brother Amir and offer

your sorrows Azza

inshallah.

So how from Namiyah in an authentic hadith

said one of the Sahaba passed away in

Madinah, and the prophet

buried that person with his own hands, and

he sat by the grave to make dua

for that person. And And he made a

very emotional du'a, and many people memorize the

du'a, they say it in janazes and stuff,

and he say you Allah he is your

host and, you are the host and he

is now your guest. You Allah forgive him

and forgive his sins

and purify him with water and so on

and so forth till the end of the

hadith. Forgive his sins, accept his good deeds,

give him Jannah, protect him from Jahannam. Something

like this but in beautiful emotional words and

Habib. So Alfred Pneumatic,

the narrator of the hadith, he said, the

dua was so emotional and so

touching that I, I wish that I was

the dead person in the grave. So Muhammad

will make a beautiful dua like this for

me.

So we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

and will make dua for our brother Wise,

So another quick question,

can we pray salatul

Ghayr for someone who passed away?

There is a long discussion among the ulama

and

the story of Najashi comes up and the

prophet prayed for him and so on and

so forth.

So basically in the Hanafi madhab if someone

died

and people already prayed for him or her,

then you don't need to pray for them.

And they say that because Najafi died in

a faraway land and no one prayed for

them and this is why the Prophet prayed

for him.

That he had a friend who died

about 20, 25 years ago, somewhere in Alberta.

So no one prayed janazah for him because

he was married to a non Muslim and

no one prayed janazah for him. There was

no Muslim in the community, so we prayed

salatulwala

for him. 20 or 25 years later,

right?

The other exception is a kernel is San

Yani,

If there is a person

who is building masajid everywhere, or someone who

is building schools, or someone who is very

knowledgeable

like Shahraawi and some of those big scholars.

And if they die, it's okay in this

case to make dua for them. But at

the end of the day, what I think

if

someone passed away, if someone already prayed janaza

for them, you don't have to pray janaza.

Dua is as good.

The dua was sadaqa. So the dua Lama

agreed that,

the 2 top most important things that benefit

the disease are dua and sadaqa. And salatul

janazah is basically a dua and shafa. So

we ask Allah

to take your brother wise and and all

the deceased inshallah.

So the reason why the Alamo of Tafsir,

there are many different books of Tafsir,

just like Tarjama,

Tarjama in Quran

the translation of the Quran is just a

tafsir, in a different language.

So the translation, like the clear Quran for

example, is not the Quran.

This is a tafsir of the Quran in

English. Right?

So,

for someone to translate the Quran,

So for someone to be a good mufassar,

they they have to know certain,

branches of knowledge in Islam, discourses or sciences.

Tafsir, Hadith, Shannan Nuzul, Aswab Nuzul, Nasr,

and so on and so forth. But if

someone does not have

this background,

it is not easy for them to translate

or to make a tafsir of the Quran.

Quran.

They're human beings and Allah

gifted every one of them in a different

way. Some of them were gifted of understanding

and profound

knowledge of the Quran and insight, and they

give us jims from the Quran. So if

you read for example like Nikathir or Ar

Razi and

and Zabashari and there are different tafasir, they

give you beautiful insights from the Quran.

So because the Arabic language is so rich,

so there are meanings and chains of meanings

and and one word

over Quran

can have so many different meanings.

One verb

has so many different meanings. And I gave

the example of Darba,

which is the first verb you learn in

Arabic. When you study Arabic, Darba means hit.

It's a very violent okay.

I'm not gonna get into that. Darba. So

it could mean Darba to hit.

It could mean,

Darba to walk in the land.

It could mean to give an example,

or it could mean to take a share

in something, to participate in something. There are

so many different

so many different meanings for the same verb.

And as I mentioned, one of the very

unique qualities of the Arabic language, a word

may give the meaning and the opposite the

antonym,

of that meaning. It could be Yeah. Say

for example the word in Sura Baqarah, as

I mentioned. It could mean a monthly cycle,

or it could mean a time of purification,

which is the opposite. And this is why

the when they give the tasir, they have

different

ways of tasir.

So it says in the ayah that the

tyrant king who would take the ship

was

after behind them, but he was actually in

front of him. They were going to pass

by him, so he was in front of

them.

He's after her money.

This is his intention.

And this is so very common in the

Qur'an, a word is used and it means

the opposite.

So in Arabic could mean they are in

doubt of something,

or

could mean they are sure about something. The

total opposite. Right?

In the Arabic language means,

maybe.

But when it comes with Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala in the Quran, it means for sure,

which is the opposite. And there are so

many,

so many examples in the Quran.

Means maybe, perhaps,

with Allah

it means for sure, 100%.

It doesn't mean maybe.

It is hope to trust or we trust

because,

But it doesn't mean doubt in this case.

So a word in Alabi, as I said,

has so many different meanings. When Ibrahim alaihi

wasalam was hitting the statues, the idols, and

breaking them down, and tearing them up. So

the word yameel here, you will see so

many different tafasir.

One of them, he hit them with his

right arm. Urukudmi with both arms but with

might.

Urukudmi

he started hitting them,

by the oath he took to destroy them.

He said, Wallahi, I'm going to destroy you.

So the word yameen and Arabi could mean

the light ar, or could mean an oath,

or could mean power or might.

So if a pronoun is used in the

Quran, he, she, him, they, and there is

no noun is used before to clarify the

meaning, and, in this case, the ulama have

different,

opinions in this case.

So sometimes the wording is general or specific,

and the have difference of opinion if it

is very general or specific. When Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala says don't destroy yourselves,

so it could mean it is something specific

by not

paying or contributing in the way of Allah,

which is the context of the ayah, or

it could be general, which will include killing

someone's

self, committing suicide,

doing drugs, drinking alcohol,

and so on and so forth.

So this is another example.

So the last example I'll give and we'll

continue next time inshaAllah,

is,

when there is a hadith, when a particular

issue in the ayah, and someone is not

aware of the hadith, then they will give

a different opinion. But if there is a

hadith authentic in the issue of Allah, there

is no room for

difference.

The example I gave when Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala says,

was salatulusta.

So keep up the salawat, especially

the middle salah.

Of course there is an authentic hadith from

the Prophet that

says, alsalatulusta,

the middle salah is salatul ask. There's no

question, it's an authentic hadith.

But some of them who've been Siroon are

not aware of this hadith, and they say,

there are difference opinions, so many different opinions.

They say,

salatulwusta is salatulwusta is salatul fajr

Why they say, everyone knows,

in Islam the day begins with the night.

So the day of Isha or Taraweeh,

sorry Taraweeh

or Ramadan, the first day of Ramadan, we

pray Taraweeh

the night before. Because in Islam the day

begins with the night.

And the night of,

Eid ul Adha or Eid ul Fitr.

For example, the day of Eid is the

night before.

So the day starts with the night. And

this is why, if you keep this in

mind, the first salah, we're talking about the

5 daily salawat.

1st salah is Maghrib, 2nd is Resha, 3rd

which is the middle is Fajr.

So this is another understanding.

But to end this, this agreement we have

to look for an authentic hadith, we'll continue

next time inshaAllah. Nas Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

So inshallah, on October 7th, we have the

Anatolia motivation conference.

So we'll have some excellent speakers inshallah to

speak about the legacy of Muhammadu Hanifa, Shafa,

American Ahmed, their knowledge, and how we can

benefit from them inshallah. We have food, babysitting.

The program will, continue,

from inshallah 12 pm till 9 pm.
