Nadim Bashir – Surah Summaries #08 SurahAl-Anfal

			The next hoorah the last time I was here on Wednesday morning, we talked about sorted out off today
inshallah the next Surah after that is totally unfair. And before we get into sort of on file, right
after certain file comes through to Toba or surah. Bara and many of us we are familiar with the fact
that there is no Bismillah R Rahman Rahim written in the Quran for Surah burrow. And there's a story
behind this and that is that when the Quran was compiled, I mean, not going to the history of how
the Quran was compiled, and when it was compiled by the time of Earthman even though I found on the
Allahu Anhu. He made many manuscripts of the Quran and he distributed them in the Islamic world that
		

			time as the Islamic kingdom and world was expanding. So Abdullah ibn Abbas, while the Allah Tala and
Houma he began to read the Quran that was compiled by orthopod Banagher fan and he noticed at that
time that there was no Bismillah Rahman Rahim. So he asked my brother a fan, that can you provide
some kind of explanation that why you find two sutras first of all, he said, the sutra unfurl is
shorter than SUTA Toba or Sudha Bara yet it has come before Sudha Baba. So that's number one, which
was confusing to him. Because if you look at the sutras before Bacara Ali Imran Nisa, ma either
these are all longer Sudha Sudha Sudha. Bara is a longer sort of soda and fall. So logically in his
		

			mind, he's thinking that Sudha barrage should come before so to unfold. Number two is why is there
no Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim? So to which orthonow Even our fan he responded by saying that when
we even though, so the unfiled is shorter than sorbara, but because of the unfurl and the theme of
surah and file, and when it was revealed, it was revealed prior to sorbara That's why in the Quran,
this is the order I put it in. Number two is he said that as far as the know Bismillah matter, he
said that if you look at the the theme of surah and file, and Surah, Bara they're very similar to
one another. And we have written this down in the Quran. And this was one of the matters that we
		

			wanted to take back to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to ask him, and to inquire from him,
shall we have the Bismillah or not, but before we could even get to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he had departed from this world. And that is why many of the Sahaba they say that they are
very similar because they're very similar in their themes and so forth. That is why there is no
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim, Allahu Allah. Now, the connection between Surah unfurl and the surah
before the sutra are off, very interesting if you think about it. So the unfurl was revealed when,
after the Battle of better, it was revealed after the Battle of butter, because after the Battle of
		

			butter, because this was the very first military victory that the Muslims had experience. Remember,
before this, they were in Mecca, they were suffering at the hands of the Quraysh. Now that they have
come to Medina, the police aren't coming now on their turf, on their land and trying to fight with
them. Now, of course, when I say their land, it was unnecessarily Medina, they had to go to a site
which is known as butter, that is where they fought. But nonetheless, the Quraysh not being on their
turf gave the advantage to the Muslims. And not only that, but the muscles got the land of butter,
the area of butter, and they basically scoured the area, they made sure that the they find the right
		

			place in butter. And not only that, but because they were strategically smart about the situation.
This is one of the reasons they actually won the battle. But if you look at are off, so they are off
talks the last story and so they are off, talks about Musa defeating further on and in the Battle of
budder. The Muslims also defeated the kuffaar in suits are off you find Musa defeating a tyrant by
the name of fit own. Here in the Battle of budder. The Muslims are defeating a tyrant by the name of
Abuja, when you see the similarities, you find that in the case of the case of Musa alayhis salam,
they he and the Muslims had to flee Egypt. In the case of the Muslims before the Battle of Buddha,
		

			they had to flee Mecca, and they had to come to Medina. So there are some similarities that we find
from Sudan are off to sootel and fall. And not only that, but the story Institute and file gives us
this peace of mind, especially especially of what we are witnessing right now in the situation of
Gaza. That Allah subhanho wa Taala He grants a victory to those who are
		

			The oppressed. When those who are the oppressed, they may go through persecution for some time, just
like we find the case of Muslims. The Muslims were persecuted without any mercy for 13 years
constantly in Mecca. Then when they came to Medina, only then I mean at that time Allah subhanho wa
Taala he gave them victory. So when we look at the situation that is unfolding in Azusa, and we
reflect on to the unfurl so that unfiled provides that consolation to us that Allah subhanho wa
taala, though the victory of Allah may come after some time, but the victory of Allah is with the
Muslims, and Allah will grant them victory eventually, I mean, no, but I mean, now when we talk
		

			about but that in the Gaza, there is a lot of there are some similarities there too. We you cannot
simply ignore the fact that right now or going back to whether the Muslims were outnumbered right
now, the Muslims are outnumbered, we find that in the Battle of Budda will, from a resources
perspective, the Muslims had no resources or very little resources compared to the Quraysh. And here
also, we find that what do these people have said they have compared to the apartheid state and on
all the resources that they have, and the resources that they are receiving from other from other
oppressive countries and so forth, including this one also, that we're sitting in. So all this we
		

			see that the the similarity between brother and Rosa and also we find that in the case of Budhha,
Rasulullah sallallahu, ala he was setting them the night before he was making dua to Allah subhana
what to Isla that, yeah, Allah grant some Muslims victory, because if they lose this battle, then
they're going to lose their morale and they're going to lose their faith in this. So that is why one
of the reasons because of this dua, the Prophet SAW Salem, Allah subhanaw taala granted the Muslims,
a very illustrious victory. And we find also in the case of Gaza, that so many people are asking
what's going to happen to our brothers sisters? Are they going to get all wiped out and once again,
		

			we put our trust in Allah subhanho wa taala. We put our trust in Allah that Allah will aid them, it
may come after some time, but Allah subhana wa Tala has helped is always with the oppressed. Now,
from SUTA and fall, there are three there are many things that we can learn, share solid father
Sameera in his seat, he writes a very beautifully, that there are two things primarily to be learned
from this surah number one is, if you want the victory of Allah, if we want the help of Allah
subhanho wa Taala there are certain things that we have to do as an ummah. And then when we do those
things, then the health of Allah subhanho wa Taala will come just like in the Battle of butter, the
		

			Muslims, they were outnumbered, they were out, they were did not have the resources, and they had to
go away from Medina. And not only that, on the on the other hand, the quotation out there were
outnumbering the Muslims and so forth. The advantage was on their side and by the way, it is
mentioned about the Quraysh that they were so confident in their victory that in some books of Syrah
it is mentioned that they brought brought in musical instruments and women that they will celebrate
and they will dance for them after their victory over the Muslims. This is how confident they were
just like today this apartheid state May Allah destroy them. They are also saying we will wipe them
		

			out inshallah Allah will wipe them out in sha Allah. So we find the similarities right now. But once
again, what can we do as a Muslim Ummah to begin with, if we want the help of Allah subhanho wa
Taala there are many things that we can take take from the sutra. I'm going to share just three
things with with you today Inshallah, the very first thing is that if we as the Muslim ummah in the
Muslim world, we want the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala we cannot be trade Allah and His Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah says in the Quran, yeah, you Halina and Manu let the hula Hawa
Rasulullah Huerta who knew a man from Tala moon, Allah subhanho wa Taala says believers or
		

			believers, men and women do not betray Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam or
knowingly betray other people's trust in you Subhanallah look at the Muslim leaders. Well Allah He I
say this very clearly, they can say whatever they want to do and how much to do for the Muslim
ummah. But right now when the Muslims are being massacred, for them to sit and sit down quietly
Wallahi they don't have a spine and they have to answer to Allah subhanho wa Taala This is them
doing Jana when Allah says lead to whom Allah wa Rasulullah do not do Haryana do not betray Allah
and His Prophet SAW Salem when they see Muslims being massacred and they are staying quiet. Wallahi
		

			they are betraying Allah and His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and as a result, why are they
doing this? At the end of the day, it always comes down
		

			to money and that's why in the next verse, Allah says why Allah mu beware be cautious of the fact a
nama I'm why LUCAM what Allah do confit. Now, your wealth is a fitna for you, what Allah who are
into who? You're looking for more money, you're looking for more resources, you're looking for more
gain, the gain is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa Taala so today Subhanallah we see that people
are betraying each other betraying Muslims, why, for this temporary gain? Allah subhanho wa Taala
saying, if the Muslim ummah wants to be successful, they cannot betray each other. That's number
one, we learn from this surah number two is if we want the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala we go
		

			back to the beginning and find Allah says yes, I Luna Canyon and follow Padilla and follow Allah he
will Rasul Allah was the database become the Muslims were fighting with each other, not fighting
with each other, but they were in a quarrel. They were arguing, arguing with each other about what
about the luxury of this? Dunya Yes, I Luna candle and fall. Allah is reminding the Muslims that do
not fight with each other over temporary gain. Do not fight with each other over this worldly gain
boodle unfairly Allah who are Rasul Allah because he's of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala was the database
Unicom and keep the sola nd keep the slip between yourself, keep the reconciliation between
		

			yourselves be connected to each other. And then after that very beautifully Allah subhanho wa Taala
he mentions the characteristics of believers in the mean Woon, who are the true believers and levena
either look it Allah Who what Gee, that coloboma, when the when the name of Allah is mentioned,
their hearts they tremble what either totally, utterly him to Zadie Imana when they hear the words
of ALLAH then their Iman increases while Allah Robbie him yet our cologne and they put their trust
solely on not on people. They put their trust of their victory and their success on Allah subhanho
wa Taala Olivia up Munna salatu wa me meraas Aparna whom you and these are the people who get who
		

			pray this a lot. And they give their zakat. Hola Iike. Holman Mina haka. These are the true
believers Lahoma Raja tuna in the rugby union. They have a great status, they have many great
sentences in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa taala. And not only that, but they will be given the
mouthfeel or the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa Taala what is only Kareem and a very generous
giving by Allah subhanho wa taala. So the ALMA they say that if this Muslim Ummah wants to be
successful, and they want to earn the nostra of Allah, then the Muslim world has to come closer to
Allah subhanho wa Taala see, there's a difference between being a Muslim and being a movement. A
		

			Muslim is a person who verbally declares there is none worthy of worship but Allah and Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah. This is what makes a person a Muslim. But what makes a person a moot a
movement is something different. A person who lives their lives their life, according to what Allah
and his prophet Ali Assam has asked from us. That is what makes a person a movement. And by the way,
read the Quran, study the Quran and you will find and we will find that whenever Allah talks about
giving us whenever Allah talks about his promises, he promises not usually the Muslims, but he
promises the believers and that is why as a Muslim Ummah, if we want to have Allah in the newsroom
		

			of Allah, we as a Muslim Ummah, collectively, we have to turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala and we have
to make Toba to Allah subhanho wa taala. And the third and final thing, if we want the Nusra of
Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, wealthy, wealthier Allahu wa Sula who wala tena
zero FATF shallow water the hubba Ryoko must be true in Allah ma Sabreen another verse Allah says
what I love obey in Apollo be him Lo and Fatima Phil early Jimmy on my left the vainikolo be him
while I can Allah Allah Verbena home, in the WHO Aziza Hakeem ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala says the
Prophet sallahu wa he was setting up the importance of what of brotherhood, when you have
		

			brotherhood when the Sahaba were together, no matter what was their background, like does not matter
what their ethnicity was, it does not matter where they came from, when they when they were
connected with Allah He that brotherhood, that connection that they had with each other, the love
they had between each other with Allah He that would put fear in the hearts of the enemy today will
Allah He if the Muslims came together, if the Muslims come together and wallah, you will see even
all these leaders these so called Muslim leaders will lie that they are spineless and they have no
fear. They feared the apartheid state will law he I say here
		

			They don't feel Allah subhanaw taala when they are in the situation, but we see those people who
don't have that power, they don't have the authority like these Muslim leaders they have, but what
Allah He because of what they have done, the boycotts that have happened and so forth, and all the
movements that has happened and has put a dent in their pockets, it has caused them some kind of
pain, and it has hurt them in a certain capacity in a financial capacity. We have seen certain
companies and how they have suffered losses and so forth, when the Muslim ummah comes together, and
they are united Wallahi that united front is the biggest threat against the enemy. There are even
		

			Subhanallah you will find on social media, when animals come together. The other day, I was watching
a just a small video that there was a pond, you had a colony of ants traveling above water and
Subhanallah anytime a predator would come one way or the other one is being carried away being taken
away from the entire pack, the other end would come and it would take away and push away the
predator. When the Muslims come together. This is how even animals they function together. And by
the way, when the Muslims are separated, that is where the enemy they collapsed and they will they
will get onto the Muslims. The enemy will get onto the Muslims and we find even Subhanallah when a
		

			cheetah or a lion when they go after a deer or anything of that type. We find that usually that
Impala or that deer that has separated from the overall pack, they are the ones that are devoured
eventually they are the ones who are who become the prey, we as the Muslim ummah, if we remain
separated Wallahi we will become the prey. But if we are united, as Allah says in the Quran, will I
left eBay in Abu Dhabi him Allah is telling the value some I'm the one he's the one who united the
hearts, low unforgotten, Mafia early Jimmy on even if you spend everything on this earth, my left
obeying Apollo be him you would have not been able to bring their hearts together. Well I can Allah
		

			Allah forbade him, but it's Allah who brought the hearts together. And we see that no matter how
less they were in the Battle of butter, they were able to be victorious over a bigger army. So the
third thing is if we want the help and the Nusrah of Allah subhanho wa taala. Then we have to come
together as the OMA, which we see the surgeon capacity and I pray to Allah, that he keeps our, my
united. So if we want the help of Allah, and by the way, when these three things they came together,
What did Allah doing the Battle of butter, even though there were less than a number, Allah sent the
mullah Iike to the aid of the Muslims, Allah will send his aid, but we have to do our part. Allah
		

			says in the Quran when Lavina Jaya hadoo fina Leonardi unknown sadhana first we have to do our part
whoever strives that Allah says He will open up the ways er cannot do what er can assign. First we
do a dari bada then the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala comes it's not the other way around Allah
you first send your aid and then we will do what we have to do not that we first have to do our
part, then Allah subhana wa Tala will send his aid. So three things that we can do. Number one is
that we do not betray each other. Number two we find in this surah is that due to duniya we should
not fight with each other, but rather we need to come closer to Allah and increase in our
		

			spirituality. And number three is that we have to always foster brotherhood. If we want to succeed
as OMA, I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to grant us the trophy to apply these teachings of the Quran in
our life and overall in our community. A little bit I mean, what does that come Allah? Hey, I said
