00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			logging on slaw the house
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			nanny Mina Mussolini ne
		
00:00:27 --> 00:01:04
			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah heal but it will be sooner him or him 100 And those will be our living
wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Jemaine about. So as I mentioned
a few weeks ago, they inshallah now we will not be necessarily going in chronological order
regarding the story of Masada Hussam. But we will be jumping from major story to major story. And
the last two weeks we talked about, Musa and Heather and we talked about some of the etiquettes in
the Adam, of seeking knowledge and so forth. And I pray to Allah subhanaw taala that everyone is
seeking knowledge in any capacity. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant all of us if last Amira but
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:51
			Allah mean, today, the story I want to share with you is the story of Musa alayhis salam and the cow
and this is a very, very well known story it has been mentioned only once in the Quran and dies in
subtle Bacara and hence inshallah we will also be discussing that why is it that sort of Bukhara is
the longest surah in the Quran, it covers almost two and a half Jews of the Quran, Yet Allah subhana
wa Tada, or as we see that the surah has been called Surat Al Baqarah. That also referred to as
Surah, Al Baqarah. And there are so many stories that Allah has mentioned here in this in the Surah.
Yet, the surah has been named after one particular incident to why so now, before we get into, as I
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:32
			mentioned earlier, that we don't want to get so much into the story, as much as we want to get into
the lessons and the reflections taken from the story. But at the same time, we have to understand
what is going on here. Now, there are somebody who are yet that we find and some dolomit They say
that these are some Israa Edd, why yet, I want to make that very clear. So that there's no, there's
no misunderstanding here. But there are some rewired that we find that there was a father who owned
a very beautiful yellow cow. And what happened was that he gave this cow to his son before he had
passed away, and said that make sure you take care of this cow and so forth. And then some of these
		
00:02:32 --> 00:03:17
			rewired, they mentioned that this cow It was then later on his mother passed away before his mother
passed away, his mother had instructed on the his her child, that this is a very special cow, it's a
yellow cow usually don't find cows like this. And it has very suspicious you know, special features
and so forth. So please make sure you take care of this cow did not make sure make sure you don't
use his cow for labor purposes and so forth. And only only when people come and they're willing to
really give you so much only then do you then sell this cow otherwise do not sell this cow on market
value. Nonetheless, the son he basically was obedient to his parents, he upheld their request and
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:57
			their honor and their wishes and he kept his cow now in the story of Musala he stopped we find that
in the city of Masada Hassan where he was and so forth. The people beneath his saw in they had a lot
of love for dunya that is one thing that we find that regarding these people, the the amount of love
for dunya was just, I mean, you know, it cannot be described in words the love for dunya, jewelry,
gold and so forth. It was so much there's so much so that means it many times they're willing to
take people's lives for this for the sake of dunya and SubhanAllah. Let's stop here for a second
thing about this. The reason why Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us about the stories of Bonita Star
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:41
			II so that we as OMA of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam we learn from their stories, so that
we don't do the same yet today. Subhanallah It is so sad. It is truly sad that today we look at the
state of the affairs of our Ummah today and it's so sad that today for the sake of dunya for the
sake of money, we cheat each other, we lie to each other, we we deceive each other, and Subhanallah
there are even some cases where people have taken the lives of other people because of the sake of
this dunya and if we are not going to learn from our past than whatever calamities Allah brought
upon the period bunnies Saw ye Allah will bring upon us to as Madras wa salam. That's why it's so
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:59
			important that we understand and learn from the stories. Now, what happened was that there was a
very rich person and he had many nephews and he told his nephews that he will they will inherit his
money. Once he passes away. However, one of the nephews they cannot wait for that time so they
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:43
			You just move forward, and they killed their uncle. So this one nephew killed his uncle. And now you
have this, this body, this corpse lying in the streets as some people they mentioned. And what
happened was that they came to Musala Islam, and there was a lot of dialogue and there's a lot of
discussion and a lot of accusations being thrown at each other. And then later on, they came to
Musashi some and said, Yeah, Musa, what do we do in this kind of situation? Now Musa alayhis salam,
he made dua to Allah subhanho wa taala. And Allah subhanho wa Taala said that in this situation, you
should slaughter a cow, take a part of the cow and strike it on the dead person and this person will
		
00:05:43 --> 00:06:26
			come back to life, He will reveal the name of the person who committed this crime against him. And
then he'll go back to being in a state of lifeless or he will be dead. And so the Musashi some came
back to the people but he saw it and the Quran says wave wave kala Musa let o me in the La Jolla,
Morocco and Baku Baqarah Paulo attack Elena who's on our old Billahi and aquaria Jaya honey. So here
Musa alayhis salam he comes to the pupil bunnies saw eat and he says that Allah has already you to
sacrifice a cow. Now what was the responsibility of saw eat? Instead of saying, Okay, we understand
instead of saying somewhere now we're out on that we have listened and we have obeyed. We have
		
00:06:26 --> 00:07:04
			obeyed they what they did was that they went a step further. And in terms of the, the disrespect and
in terms of their arrogance, and the set to Musashi is Suriname at attack either now who's like, Is
this a joke to you? Like, are you joking around with us? Now? I mean, there's a lot of lessons to be
learned from this inshallah we'll cover this at the end. But eventually Musala has some said, all
the Billahi and Aquila Johannine. When it comes to these kind of matters, I will not fabricate
information, I will not fabricate a message that comes from Allah subhanho wa taala. If I am telling
you, if I'm telling you that this is a message from Allah, that this is truly a message from Allah,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:41
			and he says, I owe the Billahi and Aquila Johannine these are people clearly they're in the state of
Jehovah. And I don't want to be associated with these people and Mussolini, some he's seeking refuge
from from these kinds of people. Now of course the people have been the star II, they did not
understand and learn their lesson and they start getting into the nitty gritty of the details of
this animal. And the Quran tells us that first of all, Allah subhanho wa Taala told them follow the
oil and Arabic obey Helena he called it you know, you're all in Bukhara to La Feridun will be gone.
I won't be in America for follow my tomorrow. The Quran says that they asked they asked many
		
00:07:41 --> 00:08:19
			questions. And as a result, Allah Subhan Allah give them more details, Allah made it more difficult
for them. Because Allah subhanaw taala is trying to send a message I told you to sacrifice a cow to
purchase a cow sacrifice it take a part of the animal. The instructions are very simple. The order
is very, very simple. Why can you know follow it? Now the fact that you're coming back and you're
asking questions, and you think that Mussolini has some is being you know, he's making a joke out of
this and he's making a mockery out of this. Now I'm going to really teach you a lesson and Allah
subhanaw taala. First of all, he said that this cow should not be too old nor too young, but it will
		
00:08:19 --> 00:09:03
			be right between being old and being young. Again, they came back to Musala you some worry about the
color. I mean, these are things that are absolutely unnecessary, completely unnecessary, yet but he
is sorry, he kept on going down this path and because they kept on going down this path of arrogance
and in Jahan iya, and so forth, and ignorance, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada made this matter difficult upon
them. And Allah subhanho wa Taala said there has to be a very bright yellow color that is pleasing
to Soto now that in that anyone who sees it, it's appealing to that person, not a color that a
person sees it and they want to turn their face away from it. Again. They came to Musala his son and
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:44
			they began to ask more questions again Musashi, some he gave them more details about what kind of a
cow this is. And there are then some rewired dimension that eventually they found this cow this cow,
which this child as I mentioned the very beginning this child that he had this very bright yellow
cow the people but he saw it in the found this person, they found the cow that he had, they came to
him, they made an offer to him and he said no, I'm not going to sell it. I'm not gonna sell it. But
eventually they paid him as some some Hadith and some several Mufasa rune rather they say that the
poorer bunnies saw Eve because of the arrogance and ignorance and constantly asking questions,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:59
			unnecessary questions, Allah made this matter so difficult upon them that they had to end up paying
10 times more the amount then that of the market value of that cow. So eventually they bought that
cow on the soldered it and not only that
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:35
			but they were able to take a piece of that cow the struck on the dead person and the dead person
basically said that one of my nephew's he's the one who took my life and then this person he went
back to its his original state, but nonetheless, this is the story of the cow. Now, of course, as I
said earlier, it is very important to understand that what are some of the things that we can learn
from the story? The story is not the objective, the story is just one aspect, but what we need to
understand is what can we learn from this so here, here are a few things that we can learn from
this. The very first thing that we learn from this is the fact that Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:10:35 --> 00:11:17
			mentioned the story in sort of baccarat this the entire sutra, because of this one story is called a
buckler. The question is why? And the answer is that when Allah subhanho wa taala, he mentioned
certain Fatiha first Okay, in certain Fatiha, what did we cover Al hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen,
Allah subhanaw taala is the Arab. The fact that he is a Arab makes us what his slaves and that means
that we're not His servant, were his slave. Because a servant provides a service. Just like when you
go to work, you work, you may work for eight hours, 10 hours, and you have sometimes you work five
days a week, sometimes you may work six days a week, but nonetheless, after those hours of your
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:57
			shift, you don't you don't owe anything to that to the employer or anything of that type. Likewise,
think about this. Imagine if we were just the servants of Allah subhana wa Tada mean that we were
providing a service to Allah subhana wa Tada. That means that there will be some time the day that
we are devoted to Allah and there are some parts of the day where that we are not devoted to Allah
subhanho wa Taala that's why we don't call ourselves necessarily the servants of Allah subhanho wa
Taala we refer to ourselves as the slaves of Allah subhanho wa Taala that we will do that which is
pleasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. So having said that, having said that, when Allah says He is
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:39
			the rub that makes us the slave, and that means that when the parts and one of the responsibilities
that we have is to show our Ibadah in our booty to Allah subhana wa Tada to show our dedication, our
commitment and our obedience to Allah subhanho wa taala. And the fact that Allah mentioned the story
of the cow in sort of baccarat tells us a very powerful lesson, and that is that Allah is giving us
an example, that what does it mean? Are let me This is Allah saying that let me give you a
demonstration. Let me share with you a story of the people of the past the people but he saw Eve and
how they, they did worship Allah they did obey Allah, but it was a very delayed response. It was a
		
00:12:39 --> 00:13:24
			very Delayed obedience. Rather, what does Allah want from us the Omar Rasuwa Salam, immediate
response, Allah wants us to immediately come to him and respond to Him and be dedicated to him and
to be obedient towards him. Not that things that become very difficult. And then we come to Allah
subhanho wa Taala this is the case of many people, that they are not observant of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and Allah talks about this in the Quran, he says, wait, I must sell inside of the IRA Legion
Bihari then I'll call EMA. When afflictions come upon a person, then they begin to remember Allah
day and night standing and sitting. And this is the case that we see so many times happening. And
		
00:13:24 --> 00:14:05
			then Allah says firm Krishna on hoorah maraca and maybe the owner eldery Messiah, however, when they
are free from the calamity, then they forget about Allah subhanho wa Taala maraca Allah Mia, the
owner of the Messiah, they become like of those people that know afflictions have ever had had ever
occurred to them. So this is why this lesson the lesson is that when it comes to us being obedient
to Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah wants us to be obedient to Him, be observant of him, Allah subhanho
wa Taala wants us to show our dedication to him and show us that we are through our actions and we
show that we are the slaves of Allah subhanho wa taala. And Allah wants us to do this at all times,
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:46
			not only in the times of affliction and so forth. Another thing that we learn from the story is the
arrogance of Benissa Ian and the reason why once again ALLAH is talking about this is because Allah
is telling us that Allah Allah rasool Allah Azza wa sallam, they you don't be arrogant like the
people beneath it. Now think about how arrogant do you have to be that Allah subhanho wa Taala is
addressing these kind of people in the Quran. First of all, they were saved from the people from
from Fidel, and now I want you to think about this. I mean, really think about this. If you were if
I you or any one of us, we were part of that group. Imagine seeing with your own eyes that fit on
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:59
			such a powerful entity at that time. No one was a dare stand up to fit on and so forth. Yet fit on
Allah has destroyed fit on right in front of you. You will not have any doubt
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:43
			About Musa Musa in some sense something you believe in 100% You believe in it 100% That's the way it
is. But at the same time we find that first of all the saw the witnessed the destruction of Fidel
and then after that Allah subhanaw taala gave them Mundo acelera. And Allah subhanaw taala has
gained them blessing after blessing and so forth. And now that Musashi ism comes to them and says do
this and they're saying, you're making a joke out of this, are you making a mockery of us and so
forth. This is called arrogance thinking that you are above the law thinking that you are above the
orders of Allah subhana wa Taala brothers and sisters, if we have arrogance in our heart, we think
		
00:15:43 --> 00:16:19
			that I am above and beyond the Quran I am above and beyond the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu it
was sending them then we are following the footsteps of bunnies stop eat and today's Subhanallah it
is sad. It is truly sad that today there are people who have made a mockery of the Quran. They have
made a mockery of the Sunnah of Rasulullah saw Salam o we are in the 21st century. You know forget
about the Quran. Forget about the Sunnah there are people who are saying these kinds of things. Now
all the way na we even during this time we follow the Quran even during this time, we follow the
Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So that's why we cannot be arrogant we cannot be
		
00:16:19 --> 00:17:03
			whenever it comes to Allah when it comes to Prophet, sunnah. We obey them and we follow their
footsteps. Also, we find part of their arrogance think about this too, whenever they would come to
Musashi Assam What did they say? Oh, look, do hola now, Rob Baca ask your Lord. I mean, if a person
was truly a slave of Allah subhanho wa Taala you don't say that oh Musa asked your Lord you rather
you will say or Musa. ask ALLAH ask our Rob, what do we do? Because Musa is the one who has a
connection with Allah subhanho wa taala. But think about how arrogant do you have to be that no
matter all that you have seen, no matter all you have witness, and you're still referring to Allah
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:42
			as your knob, referring to Allah subhana wa Taala in such a way that he's not the you're not
associated with him and you're not connected to him. This is the arrogance of the people beneath you
stop it. And remember, when we show arrogance to Allah when we show arrogance to the Sunnah of the
Prophet, Allah, when Allah will bring calamities upon us. And we see from the story, they asked
questions, you're not supposed to ask questions kind of in this kind of matter. The order is very
simple, take any cow you want, sacrifice it and so forth. But no, they want to go into the nitty
gritty, this is probably the arrogance of their ignorance. And as a result, Allah subhanho wa taala,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:57
			he made something so simple, he made it so difficult upon them because of their arrogance. And And
lastly, what we learned from this is that in this story, as we find that,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:42
			that the owner of the yellow cow and think about this, I mean, you have the the parents of the owner
of the yellow cow, we have, you know, a young man, who's the owner of the yellow cow, and so forth.
But the lesson to be learned from this is that the parents were obedient, their parents were good
people and so forth. And as a result, think about only one commodity that this person had one, you
know, one valuable thing that this person he had, and he ended up selling it 10 times more as some
of the books they mentioned 10 times more than what the market value had had for this cow. And so
that one of the lessons that we learned from this is that if the parents are truly devoted to Allah
		
00:18:42 --> 00:19:18
			subhanho wa Taala and if they are truly dedicated to Allah subhanho wa Taala in sha Allah, Allah
Inshallah, Allah will take care of their children, even even if they have passed on. And this is
something that as parents, you know, living in America, and so forth, we have no idea what the
future is going to be like, and so forth. We're always concerned about our children. We're always
concerned about what's going to happen to my children and so forth. If we were to be gone and so
forth. Then remember that even this happened, the story of Masada, you saw even before is the story
of Musa haga that he was able to erect that wall. And what did he say? He says, what kind of doctor
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:59
			Wilkins in Lahoma? What kind of Whoo hoo marsali Ha, that I was protecting the wealth, the fact that
a law put in the heart of huddle to for to erect a wall to protect the valuable items to protect the
treasure and meet this wall for the two orphans, whose father whose father is a righteous person,
what can I believe him I saw the HA that is proof in itself that when parents are righteous, when
they are dedicated to Allah subhanho wa taala, the customer making dua for their children and
they're doing righteous things in sha Allah FINMA in sha Allah, Allah would take care of their
children, even after they have passed on. So
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:35
			If we want Allah take care of our children. Yes, I'm not saying that do not educate them, educate
them well in sha Allah get you know make sure that they have a good degree, you know they have good
high education so forth, all that is in his place. I'm not negating one those things, but at the
same time, their priority should be that I am dedicated to Allah subhanho wa taala. And as a result,
if I do this in sha Allah, Allah will take care of my children even after I have passed on. I ask
Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the ability to learn from the stories and once again, there's so
many stories in the Quran. Inshallah next week, we'll also go through another story of Musa alayhis
		
00:20:35 --> 00:21:16
			salam. This is the story of Musa and Qarun. And so we know that you know, Phil only had two
associates, two main primary associates, one was Hamas and one was padrone and sort of cusses
actually talks about Qarun and how Allah gave him so much, and what the Mussolini's I'm asking for
and what was his response, and so forth. Inshallah, we'll talk about Musa Maccarone Inshallah, next
week, I ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us ability to understand the stories to take a less lesson
from them and they may Allah subhanaw taala give us ability to spread these lessons and reflections
to other people so that they may come closer to the word of Allah subhanho wa taala. I mean, no, but
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20
			I mean, does that mean La Jolla As salam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:27
