			So how long will you talk to people one of the biggest obstacle when it comes to understanding the
Quran is that we truly don't understand the what is the intricacies the nuances, the connection
between the stories and if you ask anyone that what exactly is the connection between the stories
and the sutra, a lot of times people have simply have no idea and it's for this reason that we don't
have any appreciation for the Quran. Today inshallah I want to share with you sootel majeeda so that
my EDA isn't the six Josie starts in the six jewels The finish is often the seven jewels and
inshallah want to draw a very important lesson from this but Allah subhanho wa Taala he revealed
		
00:00:40 --> 00:01:25
			this surah as one of the last Madani sutras. In fact, if you study this entire Surah from beginning
to end, Allah subhanho wa Taala he is talking to the Muslims after this after Islam had been sent
after Islam had been completed and is found in this same sutra, the ayah Allah Yama, XML Tula come
Dena come what month to lay company it will lead to Islam Medina, that today we have completed this
religion for you. And We have sent down this mercy and this this honor of Islam upon you will lead
to that community stop Medina and we are pleased with Islam as your religion and your way of life.
This is found in this sutra. So I want you to understand that Islam is complete. Now in that sense,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:02:06
			the Muslims are in a position of authority, the Muslims are now taken very seriously in the entire
world, especially in that region of the world amongst the Romans, the Sassanids, the or the
Byzantines and so forth. And they're taking serious they have honored they have you know MK Fatah MK
has already taken place. Now usually what happens is that when you're in a position of weakness,
usually you just go with the flow. But as you come into a position of power and authority, most
nations before they will take advantage of other people, they will say that now we're in a position
of power. Now we don't stick to the same rules. Now the rules have changed. Now that we are in a
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:49
			position of power, we will violate anyone as we wish And subhanAllah Allah subhanho wa Taala is
reminding the entire Ummah, that even though now you are in a position of power, you're in a
position of prestige and authority, you still will not violate anyone else's rights and Subhanallah
Allah begins the surah by saying what Yeah, are you Hallerin Amano Oh full bill are good. Oh people,
oh Muslims, fulfill your covenants, fulfill your commitments fulfill your promises. So from the
beginning from the beginning of the Quranic revelation, till now Islam is complete, every single
thing that you have learned now that you're in a position of power, do not just let it go. Now this
		
00:02:49 --> 00:03:27
			is the time where you establish your deen, this is a time that now you stick to your deen And
subhanAllah right after that. Allah subhana wa that talks about what food is allowed to consume,
what food is not allowed to consume. Because once again, Allah is reminding us that now you're in a
position of power. Now you have authority to not feel like you can start violating the laws of Allah
subhanho wa Taala the dietary laws are still in place when it comes to your family who you can marry
who you cannot marry. That's mentioned also in the same surah Allah subhana wa Taala then talks
about Salat. And that's a reminder for all of us that just because now you're in a position of power
		
00:03:27 --> 00:04:11
			and authority, you don't let go of those things that got you here to this position that got you here
to this to this honor. And so you take care of your Salaat Allah subhanho wa Taala in the same
sutra, he talks about Bani Israel Eid, that they also had an honor when they were able to cross over
and fit out and his army drowned and they were destroyed. They come they are now in society and
anyone who looks at them they will say that this is a very honorable community. Allah subhana wa
that talks about them that how after they were honored by Allah, they turned against Allah subhanho
wa Taala and they were given a land by Allah subhanho wa Taala to go and conquer that piece of land.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:54
			And what did they say? Instead of being thankful to Allah subhana wa to Ana, they show their
audacity to Allah subhanho wa Taala they show their arrogance to Allah subhanho wa Taala and they
said to Musa alayhis salam inhabitant our Abu Kapha Katella in Hoonah, Croydon, in fact, you and
your Rob go and fight and when you have conquered this land, then you tell us and we will come into
we will come into that land, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala as a result of their arrogance, Allah subhanho
wa Taala said Bala for in maha Rama to lay him out of our inner center for the next 40 years, this
land has become prohibited for you and the most and these people the below bunnies saw it. They
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			wandered into a desert for 40 years. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala he brings more stories about
bunnies
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			About you, and the advocator. And then Allah subhanho wa taala. And the Jews, he brings up the idea
that I shared the other day that the cause of corruption in your society is when you see these wrong
things taking place, and you stay quiet, that's a cause of corruption in your society. And then
Allah subhana talks about the prohibition of alcohol, ALLAH SubhanA, WA Tada talks about other
things. And if you look at once again, either from beginning to end, Allah is telling the ummah of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and especially the Muslim community at that time, that now
that Allah has given you that honor, do not let go of your commandments, do not let go of your
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:16
			commitments. Now, usually in a position of power of authority, as I said, you're in a position of
weakness, the game is different. We're in a position of power. A lot of times people take advantage
of others Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if there's one thing that he truly taught us, and
I'm going to share with you a story, we learned from this story, that no matter what it is, you
always give people their due, right? Always take care of people do not take things away from people.
And so the Haisla think about this every person who's in a position of authority, whether you're in
a position of authority and work, whether you're in a position of authority, when it comes to other
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:52
			people, you are the boss of other people, there are people working underneath you and so forth. What
happens a lot of times is we take things from others and we give it to others. We violate other
people's rights and we give it to others. And so the thing is that we have to understand from the
seat of Azula Salah that you don't take advantage of other people, you don't take things from other
people and give to other people, because this will create facade in the heart. This will cause some
kind of pain in the heart of that person. So I want to share with you share with you the story of
Earthman even at Tahara Viola line, or it's not even Pearl Harbor the hola Juan was the same man
		
00:06:53 --> 00:07:37
			that after the Hijrah to Medina, there was a family the family of OMA selama abou selama Radi Allahu
Anhu uma they were divided and they were separated at the time of Hijra. Abu Salim I reached Medina,
OMA Selma got caught up with her within her own tribe. And then there was their child, their child
was someone else. The families did not let them make Hijra in a peaceful way to Medina. So they were
divided for almost one year after the family said, okay, you know what they told him in Selma, you
can go, you can go to Medina, she was able to be reunited with her family, who was that person who
brought Omar selama all the way to Medina. It was my aha, he was a Muslim at that time. But there
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:20
			was one thing that was there was a clear distinction about that family that they have. They had
above all other families and that was, they had the keys of the Kaaba. They had the keys of the
Kaaba, this family had the keys to the Kaaba. So the keys of the Kaaba was not in his hand. It was
in the hands of his father, when his father passed away in the Battle of heard that responsibility
of the keys of the Kaaba, were then handed over to us my natal Ha, at that time, he was a Muslim.
Later on, it is mentioned in some books that perhaps before the hijra, or even after he died during
the conquest, at the time of for the BIA. When the Prophet saw someone to perhaps go inside the
		
00:08:20 --> 00:09:03
			Kaaba or thrive mental health because he had the keys, he will decide who will go inside the Kaaba
and who will not go inside the Kaaba. And one time, perhaps before the hijra, he stopped Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from entering inside the Kaaba and Rasulullah saw someone told him, they
remember Osman, that day will come that these keys are going to be in my hand, and then I will get
to decide who I give it to afterwards. And that stuck with us via the what exactly is the province
I'm talking about here. Now years later, for Tomica takes place. And the problems are some is
coming. He's marching into Makkah, he sends at that time are trying to tell how finds out the
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:40
			poverty son was coming. He goes to the Kaaba, he locks the Kaaba, he goes back home. And according
to some books and some narrations he either kept the key or according to some narrations, he gave
the key to his mother and said that these people are coming do not give them the key. This is the
only thing that we have. And if you're gonna give it to them, we have nothing. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he sent a book or the Allah one and beloved or the Allahu Allah and He
says, Go and get the keys of the Kaaba, I want to enter inside the Kaaba. So they went to the house
of Osmani Matala or the Allah Juan at that time, of course, not a Muslim yet. So he went to the he
		
00:09:40 --> 00:10:00
			went to their they went to his home and the mother refused that I will not give you the keys, do
whatever you want, you know joke which Pednekar law, okay, I will give you the keys. So the
professor says okay, fine. I'm gonna send my next guy. I'm gonna hit Bob. Okay, so I'm gonna hit Bob
he comes and before
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07
			He could even reach the house. He says Oh Mother of Earth man hand me the keys without a single word
took the keys and gave it to ultimate.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			You don't want to mess with almond ricotta, okay. That's his personality, okay. So
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:56
			he takes the keys he brings it to the Prophet sallallahu it was send them. The problem is that
somebody opens the Kaaba, he walks inside, all the idols, took them out, destroy the idols, clean
out the Kaaba, pray to the gods salaat and he came outside of the Kaaba. Now at that time, you have
to understand that all the Reishi tribes, they had different responsibilities. So the tribe of the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe, Salam bunu, Hashem, they were given the responsibility of providing water,
to those who are performing hajj, that was their responsibility. So the responsibility of carrying
the keys and holding on to the keys belong to the tribe of where the tribe that Northman with Allah
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:36
			he belong to. And these are two different tribes. So what happened was that Abbas the uncle, the
Prophet, sallAllahu, alayhi, wa sallam, he comes to the prophesy some and he says, yes to Allah,
this is our golden opportunity. Give us the keys, and we but no Hashem, not only are we going to
have the authority to give water to the project, but then we're going to have the keys also, and
this tribe is going to be deprived, give us the keys. Now, I want you to think let's pause here for
a moment and think about this. The Prophet SAW Saddam is also from the new Hashem. And here his own
family is telling him that this hold on to the keys now we have power, we have the authority, we
		
00:11:36 --> 00:12:15
			have the upper hand now in Makkah, no one can tell us what to do in Makkah anymore. So let us keep
the keys, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he never took advantage of his position, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he always fulfill the covenants, he always fulfill his promises
and his commitments. And he never took away things from others. And so he said, Go call us
monumental, ha. And he called us monumental half. And he says, what was fun? Do you remember? I told
you remember the day I told you that I will have the keys in my hand. Now that day has come, I have
the keys in my hand. And that's when he said that when you told me that time, I never believed you.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:57
			Now I have no doubt at that time or time until he said that I testify that there is none worthy of
worship but Allah and Muhammad Rasulullah Salam is his messenger. He took his shahada, and then he's
thinking what's the province I'm going to do? Ibis is saying there was the province of so I'm going
to do and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he took the keys and he put it back in the hands
of the Earth, monumental ha or the Allah one. And he said, that these keys shall remain in your
family, till the Day of Judgment, and only a person who is an open volume and open oppressor. So
take the keys away from your family and till today, by the way till today, even though we there's a
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:36
			kingdom there, the fam the keys of the Kaabah they remain in the family of Earthman, NFL high till
today, till today, when the government when they want to go inside the Kaaba, they come to their
family, there is an agreement whenever we want it, you have to give it to us, they come to them. But
the keys of the Kaaba till today is in the ancestry of Earth monumental whether you're low until
today, so Hala. So what we learned from this story is that we're always going to be in a position of
power of authority, but we don't violate other people's rights. We don't ever take advantage of our
position. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, even after the Battle of brother, when his son in
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:10
			law was there, he never took advantage. He asked the Sahaba if it's okay with you, can I send my son
in law back to Makkah, he never said, You know what, I'm in power. I'm Rasul Allah, I don't have to
consult with you know, the person never took advantage of his position. We don't take advantage of
other people. Sometimes we know that, oh, if I call if I invite this one, he's gonna pay for my
lunch and he's gonna do this for me. And he will do that favors for me and she will do this for me
and that we should never take advantage of other people never looking never looked after trying to
take from others but we learned from Missoula sallallahu alayhi wa sallam about giving rights to
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:35
			other people and taking care of their needs and so forth. I asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to grant
us the o'clock of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and may Allah subhanho wa Taala give us
the ability to fulfill to fulfill the rights of Allah subhanho wa Taala and to fulfill the rights of
others around us. Amira, Al Amin is Kamala Hey, salam, Aleikum. Warahmatullah wabarakatuh
