Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh this one now hon or him Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah him Hamid while Lee was a big marine about Welcome to another segment of Karim Allah where we take only the lessons and reflections from the story of Musa bodies and we try to apply them to our life. So we are now at the point and so I'll pass us Allah subhanho wa taala. He says that Musa alayhis salam he accepted and he agreed to the terms of employment, he agreed that he will marry one of the daughters. And the story than mentioned in the Quran mentions philam podar Musa agile was Sara Lee an SME journey with 2d narrow, Allah subhanho wa Taala was

talking about Musala Islam that wants this period had come to an end, meaning that 10 years had gone by now one time Musala he is um, he is traveling with his family. And he sees and he's looking for some guidance, he was looking around and he sees a fire. And he tells his family that Uncle through in the US to NARA that stay here and let me go and bring some fire back and so forth. Now in Surah CASAS The story does go on a little more. And it talks about you know what happened, but it does not talk about exactly what happened on that mountain. In the details or the way sort of QA actually describes the story. Syrup ha ha goes into more explicit details about what happened to Musa alayhis

salam when he went upon that mountain. And that is where he received prophet hood. This is where Allah subhanho wa Taala made him a prophet and so forth. So while so Abbas says talks about this part of the story, in some shape or form, there is more explicit details found in Surah poha. So this is why now we're going to shift for a while from Surah puzzles to saw her and we're going to talk about some that I get from surah Taha so now reflecting on So, first of all, there's few things I want to share about soil, Taha first of all, is that there are many a hadith that we may come across about the virtues of soil haha. And I want to be very clear about this that majority of the

virtues that we find, for example, there is a

it as some people have classified it is a mobile Hadith. Some say that it is an absolute, very, very weak Hadith that

Allah subhanaw taala, recites to a poor high and so he has seen 1000 years before the creation of the skies in the earth. So there are many a hadith of this type. And most majority of this hadith have been classified as mono door or extremely, extremely weak by many of them who had the things so I will recommend that we stay away from those. However, there are some authentic narrations that we find regarding Serato hmm, such as I'm driving, Mr. Trudeau, the yellow Tron, as we all know, he was someone who was considered as a scholar of the Quran, and he mentioned that he had memorized and the best was that he had memorized earlier on was Surah Surah Subhanallah, the SRB agua de This is the

very first surah in the 15 Jews, and then Soraka, half Surah Maryam. So Taha, Surah, Ambia, all these five suitors that we see, they all were revealed in Makkah, and he says that these were from amongst the best sutras that I had learned. And the reason why I absolutely must order the baton, he's saying this is because that these were the sewers that were revealed in the days of Makkah, and they talk about the stories of the past. These are stories that consoled the Sahaba or the Aloka on home, and the Prophet sallallahu ala he was sending them so therefore, Abdullah had been Miss Earth or the LA Times saying that these are from the one of the best sources that he had memorized and

this is found in Behati by the rate. The next one is a Hadith narrated by a member of the ELT and I and we're in the province that Allahu Allah USM he mentions that the greatest of the names of Allah subhanho wa Taala they appear in three sources of the Quran Surah Al Baqarah. So Ali Imran and Sua Taha, and the orlimar they mentioned that what are those best names of Allah subhanaw taala that are mentioned in these three sutras and when we study them we learned that it is Allahu La ilaha illa who will hire you to pay you so we find so baccarat either corsi Allahu Allah, Allah will Heyoka you will find also at the beginning of surah and Imran and if la meme Allahu La ilaha illa who will tell

When we find this then began to anymore and we find the softball Ha, why no till we do who will hire a young we find this also in surah Taha And subhanAllah the words of the words in these names of Allah subhana wa Tada Alhaj Elka you are very, very powerful, and I don't want to get into what are the meanings of them and so forth because that will be drifting away from the main topic. But nonetheless these are two powerful Names of Allah subhanho wa taala. And we should every time we make dua, try to recite these two names. There is a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, wherein he passed by a man and this man was making dua to Allah subhanho wa taala. And he

was calling out ALLAH SubhanA wa Darna. With with his amazing names, and the Prophet SAW Allah while you some he says that anyone who recite this dua and then they ask Allah subhanaw taala for something Allah will most certainly answered that dua in that prayer. And in that, in that dua this man was making he used the words of ALLAH height in Alka Yom in that so that's why whenever you're making dua use these two words, these two names of Allah subhanho wa taala. They are extremely powerful. Now something else that we learned about Swatara is that Sotah was also the very first Surah that are almost able to hop over the yellow THON he recited and he read right before he became

a Muslim. The story of course, we all know many of us are familiar when he went to his sister's house, and he he saw the manuscripts of the Quran and he began to read them after he took a bath and so forth and he was able to cleanse himself. He read through a PA and when he wrestled ha ha the words and unsual Taha are so powerful, they are so impactful. That is when he said take me to Rasulullah sallallahu it was center. So these are authentic reports that we find regarding syrup or hot now what exactly is what AHA all about? It is about the story of new Saudi Assam. It talks about fear to own it talks about samedi, this man who appeared later in the story of Musa alayhis salam

and how he tried to deviate but he saw it and so forth. So all this has been mentioned in surah Taha and in essence was Sotah also teaches us is the etiquettes of a diary. He goes to a Subhanallah many of us we want to give Dawa we want to call other people to Allah subhanho wa Taala whether it's Muslims calling other Muslims to, to, to Allah subhanaw taala whether we want to invite non Muslims into the fold of Islam, these are things that you know, they require certain etiquettes and so that's why it talks about the etiquettes of the hour. How do you give Dawa, effective Dawa and not only that, but what are the qualities? What are the characteristics that a dari should embody in

himself or herself when it comes to giving Dawa? Because Allah has put certain expectations upon the diary, and then there are certain etiquettes that they should apply when giving Dawa. So a lot of times we want to give Dawa and first of all, we don't know how to give Dawa effectively because we don't know these teachings. And then number two is that there are certain characteristics that they should embody themselves first before giving Dawa. So all these things have to be taken into consideration, and sort of handled we find a lot of those qualities for the diary. And not only that, but the arrogance, etiquettes of Dawa that are found actually in our PA and this is why so PA

is a very big, beautiful surah in itself. So this is what Sotah is all about. Now, jumping right into Serato has super high was revealed also to console Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. As we all know, the Prophet sallallahu, Ireson was receiving a lot of criticism from his own family members. And this is what was more hurting to the province of Saddam. When studying the stories of the Umbria we learn that they received the majority of their opposition or probably all their opposition from strangers, and they still many for many of us is still acceptable. But when you receive opposition from your own family, it's more hurting. And this is what we find with Rasul

Allah, Allahu Allah. He was saying that when he began to give Dawa, and he began to go public, you know, first of all, Allah subhanaw taala says, We're under a shave, what can occur Rabin, this is an idea that we're ALLAH SubhanA is telling the person that you got to take your dollar, and start inviting your family members. And so when he began to do this, a lot of the opposition came from his own family. In fact, we know the story of when his son died. You have his own uncle, the uncle of the province, I'll send them he is sort of happy that his nephews son passed away and this animosity have built up. Why? Simply because of problems. Someone has said that I invite you to lie either.

Hi, Lola

This was the only reason. So this is why there was so much opposition. But the opposition was coming primarily from the family of the Prophet SAW Selim. And it is a well known fact that today when you have a stranger praising you, that you know, you take their praise to heart in some way. But when you have someone who's very critical of you, in some cases, it's even family members, and they praise you, you take that even more to heart, you feel like that, you know, what, my family has praised me. I you know, I take that to heart more. When people criticize you, you know, sometimes you learn how to overcome it, sometimes you may accept it, but when family creates those honor when

family is very critical of you, we take that more to heart because in a family you will have people outside the family that allow time they will respect you. But you know, I'm sure you've all have heard the saying, Go community though brother, like a lot of time, what that means is that the the lentils and the and the house chicken, they are equal meaning that this is a saying in order like like

it's just a saying that what that means is that the people in the house are not going to respect you as much as other people are going to show you respect and so forth. So nonetheless, the point is that the person was receiving a lot of criticism and a lot of hate from his own family. And this is why it was very, very hurting to the Prophet SAW Selim. And this is why Allah subhanaw taala in the very beginning of Sao Paulo he says, Allahu Allah EDA in Hua Hua, a smart will hasna. Allah subhana is telling the power center Have you not heard that Allah has? Allahu Allah? Inna Hula, hula smell hasna Allah has very beautiful names. Allah has many names, and they all are very beautiful. And

when we talk about the names of Allah subhanho wa taala. Of course we know so many of those names. And then Allah says in the next idea, while attack Hadith Musa that, have you heard the story of Musa alayhis salam. And so a lot of times, many of us we have this trouble that why you know, what's the correlation, Beautiful Names of Allah story of Musashi Assam. What's the correlation? Allah Subhan is telling the prophets of salaam that you know the Beautiful Names of Allah subhanho wa Taala you will see those names manifest in the story of Musa Islam. This is why he's doing the story and the studying the story of Musa Islam is so important because we see the names of Allah subhanho

wa Taala becoming manifest in the story of Masada. He said, um, so now, we talked about that when Mussolini Sam he sees that there's something going on he says, Let me go there. Let me check and when he gets there, Allah subhanho wa Taala he says that

he says even me Anna Rob Booker will attack Hadith Musa is Rana Ron for call and him Khufu in the anus. dinero lonley thecommon Ha, because in Algeria Allah nadie Houda Fela ma new dar Musa, when he came there, he heard Musa now think about this Musa Assam is on a mountain, you know. And he it's it's at a place where he's very familiar, it's unfamiliar territory. It's not like he can just run down the mountain either. And all of a sudden, he gets all the way up there where he sees that there's probably a fire there. And he hears someone calling out his name. And he's looking around, he's thinking there, where is his name? Where is his voice coming from? And that would shock anyone.

And anyone who would be terrified if you went to a place and someone just called out your name. And so Mussolini's some, he's looking around. And then the next words that come up is from Allah subhanaw taala. In the Arab book, I am your Lord. Now again, we're sorry, someone's thinking where is all this coming from? He says, he says

it me and Rob Booker, * law now Lake, take off your shoes, take off your shoes. Now this taking off the shoes is something that even totally in our own Deen. We apply this in a certain context it was in a certain way that we take off our shoes where we go to the masjid, for example. And you know, subhanAllah what the alumni have mentioned about this is that Musa alayhis salaam, he's taking off his shoes because Allah Subhan is telling him that you know, you are about to come in a very sacred place. This is a place where I'm going to bestow something upon you that you need to take this message and go to other people. So keeping this in mind mousseline some understand that this

place is a very sacred place. Hence, I'm taking off my shoes and this is why even for us, when we come to the masjid, what do we do? We take off our shoes. Why? Because I'm coming into the masala area, I'm coming to a place where I'm going to remember the King of all kings. I'm going to worship the King of all kings, I'm going to worship Allah subhanho wa taala. And so therefore, coming to this place, I need to show some reverence and I need to show some respect. Now, when we talk about respect for the masjid also, I understand that today because of this current situation

Should that we are in that many of our massages are closed and even the massages are open. The only thing that they are providing right now at the facility is the salon and that is it. But when we are coming to the masjid then inshallah was this pandemic is over and we're back to our Masjid. You know when it comes to the masjid many of us have created our own understanding of what is respect for the budget, and what is not respect for the Masjid. So, for example, in the time of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam. What was the budget? Like? What was the budget like think about it, the measure that was not only for prayers, the budget was not only for prayers, wrestling took place in

the in the measured, wrestling took place in the house of Allah subhanaw taala. There were community discussions that took place inside the masjid, there were talks, you know, lectures that happen inside the Masjid. There were times when you had foreign emissaries and delegations that came to Medina, where are the promises entertain them, he will entertain them inside the masjid not they never had, like a community center. Everything will take place inside the Masjid. We also learned that one time from Africa, there was a certain delegation that came and they want to practice and they want to conduct wonder cultural practices and the power of some he allowed them to conduct

their own cultural practice. And it once again, it was not religious, there was no religious affiliation with that it wasn't like they were, they were doing shake inside the mosque and so forth. It was a cultural practice that they were conducting where do they conduct it inside the Masjid. So a lot of times we think that these are things are considered as disrespect to a masjid. These are not disrespectful to a masjid. In fact, the way we show respect to the masjid is we take off our shoes that is showing respect to the masjid not a means not to be a means of disturbance. Now raising our voices inside the masjid like a lot of times, you know, subhanAllah, you know, we

see that people are talking and there are you know, people praying over there, you cannot be a museum distributed to anyone else. At the same time, we also learn the power of the editor of the magazine is that when you come to measure where something decent, there's a wider problem, he says that do not go to the masjid when you have eaten garlic. Why? Because that this can offend someone else. And in our current situation during this pandemic,

if you feel like you're sick, or you have sent symptoms of sickness or COVID. And already there's someone in your family that has tested positive, even in that situation, do not come to the masjid because you are putting others at risk. You are you're harming others. So that's why this is this is showing respect, actually, to the measure. Today, we think that respect is, you know, if a child comes inside the module with a ball, like a tennis ball, I mean Subhanallah you see some adults of the way they begin to behave around that child, or you see a child running here, and they're little, and you know, subhanAllah, you know, you see some adults the way they become so, you know, they

began to become so rude and so disrespectful to these kids. This is not the way to talk to kids, it's not the way to deal with kids. First of all, inside the masjid, there is a way to talk to those children. I'm not sitting here and advocating that let them go in, you know, let them do so much as measured. By the same time there's a way to talk to the children too. In fact, I will tell you that you know, if there's one thing that can drive people away from the masjid, I'll be honest with you, is you know, subhanAllah This is based on my understanding when talking to a lot of the youth and so forth. What drives people away from the masjid is when people are coming to the masjid, with their

arrogance, with their ego with their status. You know, they want to, they want to sort of enforce their, their arrogance upon others, they want to, you know, they want to show their ego to everyone else, when our youth are coming to the masjid and they see that people that they are supposed to look up to people that they're supposed to look up to. There is you know, unfortunate, you know, dishonesty when there is you know, unethical things taking place. And they see the adults who they're supposed to look up to as community leaders and they are doing these things. These are things that are driving people away from the machine. It's not that the module unnecessarily boring

is not that there are other things or what, what may what we may think are driving people away, but these are the things are driving people away from the budget because when they come to the masjid, and they see the ethics that are taking place inside the masjid, the ethics that are taking place inside the community, at a place like a community plays like the masjid, that this is what drives people away from the Masjid. When a woman comes in, she might be dressed fully. She might be shalom, she may not be wearing hijab and all

You know, not if not all the sister but there are many sisters who come and they're very critical of her and they say things which are not absolutely right. And they don't take on the situation in the right way this is what drives people away or when you see a gentleman coming in, and he may not be dressed the right way, or he may do something that is considered as unethical, and we get upset and the way we address it. This is how people who are driven away from the masjid so this is why it's very important to understand what exactly is considered as respectful inside respect inside the masjid. And what is considered as disrespectful inside the masjid. And, you know, subhanAllah you

know, in a situation that where you have where you have children playing inside the masjid, and the talent policy on Wrestling used to take place inside their budget. So some people they are debating that, can you play inside the measure, like children want to come and they want to play inside their budget and so forth? Is that permissible or not? What assembler might have said is that if there is no activities taking place inside the masjid, and there's no other place to play, then okay, perhaps you can play there. But it is not the best place to play a muscling here and advocating that this is the place to play, and go there and so forth. I'm not saying that but the same time, we have to

understand what is the true meaning of respect inside a masjid? And what is the true meaning of disrespect inside the masjid? And so keeping this in mind, we started off with facula Natalie, Allah subhanaw taala Musala is somebody coming to a very holy place? Now take off your shoes. The next thing that we learn is he says in the ROB Booker folklore Nolleke in Mecca been welding the papacy tour, we're not going to go first. Lima you have I have chosen you, I've chosen you. And listen attentively. Now, the word enough time to go comes the word hate, meaning that Allah subhanaw taala is saying to Musa alayhis salam that I see some good in you. This is why I want I have chosen you.

Now most I use salaam he's thinking about the Crimea he has committed before what was that crying? For what because that removes ethical data when he punched that man. And he accidentally unintentionally killed that man that was weighing on his on his mind. That's what he's thinking about. And he's thinking to himself that Allah subhanaw taala. Here on the other hand, he say, I see some good in you. This is why I have chosen you. Now let's try to understand this. When people commit wrong when people do wrong, unfortunately, the society holds that wrong against them. When you pay your debts to society, when you have transformed your life, and you have left it that we

need to understand as a community, that we cannot hold that sin against that person for all their life. Today, no matter what a person does, you have people who will just focus on the negatives, that this person 15 years ago, 20 years ago, they did something wrong. And they will hold that against that person all their life, they will forget about how they pay their how they pay their debts to society. They forget about the fact that they have reformed their life they had transformed their life, they have left those behaviors and that life and now this is their life that they're living, they are more closer to Allah subhanaw taala they have 100 taqwa in their life, and they're

taking care of their responsibilities properly, and they're staying out of trouble. But that's not what people focus on. So we need to as a community do not hold crimes and wrongdoings against people all their life. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam go back to the story of his adopted son. In fact, the son of his adopted son, we know that Zaid even Heiser was his adopted son. And then at the same time, his son was summer immunizations. Remember the story that when he took the life of the man, despite the fact that he said like the the law, and the problem said, Why did you take his life when he even said Lila Hale Allah? And he says that he never said it with conviction. And the

Prophet SAW Salem, that's when he said that did you open up his chest and check whether his intention was true or not? How do you know what a person's intention is? You cannot question to him. And the person got really upset. And when somebody had an essay that was, you know, really heavy on Osama bin Zayed, but the same time was was also taught us that you do not hold crimes against people for all their life. And this is why why before he passed away, he was about to send an expedition out, and who did he assign as the leader of that expedition? Who summer even as he He taught his community? They Yes, I didn't get upset. I was somewhat ignorant, say, for the wrong that he did,

but I'm not gonna hold that against him all his life. And he assigned him a very noble position. And in that, by the way, in that expedition, there were some other Sahaba of the alotta I know, other Sahaba who were older than Osama bin Zayed. But the Colosseum he wants to set a standard and he

Want to provide a very powerful lesson? So this is why, when is when it comes to people who have done wrong or so forth, we should never hold it against them. And he even here Noosa does something wrong he did it unintentional. Even if a person does it intentional, but they left that they have left that lifestyle, we should not hold it against them. Allah subhanaw taala here he is choosing Musala his son for a very noble purpose and then he says festa Marilena you have, then listen attentively to what is about to be said. Now when it comes to the Quran, when it comes to the citation of the Quran, when it comes to a hotbar when it comes to a lecture, when it comes to

anything where we hear Carla law in all the resorts that Allahu alayhi wa sallam, then at that situation we need to remain absolutely quiet. The Quran tells us also for you that parotid Khurana first we were putting on first me Allah who were unsuitable the unlocking to Hmong. The Quran tells us also because there's a certain era of that when the Quran is being recited. When the Quran is being recited first Amuro level then listen attentively. Listen attentively, Allah did not just say first of all, he says, first time you allow, listen with, listen attentively, listen with your whole heart will answer to and stay quiet mean that make others quiet around you also. Now let come to

hormone perhaps and hopefully Allah will have mercy upon you. And what that means is that perhaps and hopefully Allah will soften your hearts that you can take the Quran to your heart, this is what it means. So this is why it's very important that even Allah is telling Musa your sub, listen attentively. So this is why when we have to teach our children to when the Quran is being recited, when when you when they go to a hubba then they should listen attentively today. Subhanallah people in hot buzz, they're daydreaming people today in hot buzz, they're just you know, they're thinking about other things in a heartbeat. They're just like putting their head down, and they're not even

paying any attention. Remember that a healthy is not just saying his own words. He is quoting the ayat of the Quran. The hottie is quoting the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we have to show some reverence and some respect to that. And finally, the another thing that people have asked is, What about like, when the Quran is playing in the background? Okay, when the Quran is playing, and, you know, can we do different things and so forth? You know, subhanAllah it's absolutely fine, but it's not like, you know, subhanAllah today, we find that, you know, people go, you know, people go to gyms, or they go different places, and if the music is on, the music is in

the background, but you're doing whatever you want to do, a person goes to the gym, there might be music on, but you're just, you know, personally working on and so forth. But we're talking about the Quran playing in the background. And is that permissible or not? If a person let's say if a if a man is, you know, he's working on something, if the husband is working on something, and he's in his garage, let's say he's doing some work in his garage, he's not talking to anyone who wants to play the Quran has listened to the Quran, and he's doing some work at the same time. Absolutely. There's nothing wrong with that. Yes, the best way to describe the Quran is to sit down and give your full

focus. At the same time the Allamah have permitted that if he's not talking to anyone, and there's no disrespect, taking place, you know, clearly I guess the Quran that he can keep the Quran on. If the mother she's, let's say she's cooking into the kitchen. And in that situation, she has a Quran playing and there is no other thing that's taking place. There's absolutely nothing wrong against that either that she can keep the Quran on and you know, have the Quran playing and she's listening and she's cooking at the same time. There's nothing wrong with that. So but it's important to understand that listen to the Quran. Now if the Quran is playing, and then the children are coming

and they're talking while the Quran is playing and that is a clear disrespect to the Quran. Turn off the Quran at that time, even when it comes to Iran. Yes, even when it comes to Iran, we should try to refrain talking during the event. It shows respect to the event. I should do Allah Allah and Allah I should do no Muhammad Rasool Allah. This is a call to prayer during this time, we should try to stay quiet people think that oh during the evangelist keep on talking and talking. No, that's also we have to show respect to the Quran and Sunnah and that also means even the other or anything that comes as close to the Quran, sunnah, tried to show respect to that. So inshallah we'll go ahead

and stop right here. The next thing is that Allah Subhana Allah is having a direct conversation with Musashi sub. What do we learn exactly from that? And the very first advices the very first things that Allah tells Musashi, so what does he tell? Inshallah we'll talk about that next week? I ask ALLAH SubhanA without to give all the civility to alcohol has been sent or heard, and may Allah Subhan Allah give us ability to learn and reflect and take our lessons from the Quran and apply in our life and bla bla bla me Zack and Allah Hi, Salaam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
