			assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatu Bismillah AR Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi edge moraine about Welcome to
another segment of the Tafseer of Surah Furqan. Inshallah today, we intend to cover a few more, a
few more is from the surah. And these are once again is talking about the allegations made by the
Quraysh against the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. So, in the previous ayat we talked about and
just to do a quick summary rundown, the very first ayah Allah subhanaw taala. He talked about how he
revealed the Quran upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and what was the purpose of that?
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:41
			And I number two and three, Allah subhanho wa Taala talked about the allegations they made in some
of the claims they made against Allah subhanho wa Taala such as he has a shriek or he has children
and so forth, and Allah subhanho wa Taala and those who are yet he responds to them. Then in ayah,
number four, five and six, ALLAH SubhanA wa are talked about an allegation made by the police
against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were called Luma had a call in Haida Illa if Cunniff
Tara, that this is purely a blatant lie, and they create this fabrication against the Quran, Allah
subhanho wa Taala and is number six, he responded to them. And now you have seven, eight and nine
		
00:01:41 --> 00:02:22
			and 10. And these are again, allegations made against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
once again, either they're coming after the dignity, the character of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, or they're simply trying to discredit anything that he is saying, or they're trying to
attack him by saying that he is a must hold he is someone who has been possessed. So inshallah let's
try to get straight into these if inshallah the very first one is what called Luo Man he had a Rasul
Yeah. Kulu Tom Williams Chief iswap Nola on ZTE Rahim Allah convey Hakuna Matata Hakuna de la. Now
here the police are saying that first of all the ayah begins by saying that we'll call you Malhotra
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:44
			Rasool What is wrong with this prophet and this word Mali is used almost in a very derogatory way.
Such as, for example, when you want to inquire about someone, there's two ways of inquiring, you can
say, let me see what's wrong with this person, or let me see what's going on in the life of this
person. Versus you can say what's wrong with this person? The second way is a very negative way.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:25
			Like it's almost like the, the way they say in order to say karma slash, you know, this is things
that are type likewise, they were saying that about the Prophet sallallahu Sallam like what is his
issue? Molly has Russell what is going on with his prophet? Yeah, cool. Tama WAMC from a Swacch he
eats food and he wanders in the bazaars and he goes into the bazaars and so forth. Lola owns either
either he Malecon for Hakuna Matata Hakuna Vera here, the police are saying that perhaps Allah
subhanaw taala if you really wanted to guide us, if you want us to be guided in follow someone,
rather you should have sent a an angel and perhaps we would have followed that angel. Now here Allah
		
00:03:25 --> 00:04:07
			subhanho wa Taala is saying that they're coming after the fact of the post Saddam is like any other
ordinary human being. And they had a problem with that. Why is this person a human being and he can
receive the worry from Allah subhanho wa taala. So first of all, is that he's either a human being
or he's not a human being, if he's not a human being that okay we can understand, but if as a human
being, and we are also human beings, then what makes him so special above everyone else? Why is it
that he can receive the worry, and he can he can call people towards a certain religion, and we are
not chosen in that way. So Allah subhanho wa Taala the reason why Allah did this is because Allah
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:50
			understands that in order to guide mankind, Allah needs to send someone like them from within them
to them in order to help them understand. And not only that, but this person would understand their
temperament. Someone who would understand their feelings, their experiences, their historical
background, their family background, someone who can relate to them. This is why Allah subhanho wa
Taala also says in the Quran and Sunnah Ibrahim wa salam ala Rasulillah elaborately Sonico me he you
by Ian Allah whom ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada would only send prophets and messengers who are from within
them who can speak their language and Subhanallah we see even like when you study the history of
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			America to especially the Muslim communities in America, long ago, you had so many times or there
were so many communities that they were
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			importing on a mat in scholars from overseas because there were no automa and scholars and our
profiles being generated here in this land. And when they came over here, a lot of times they were
coming with their own mindset, they were coming with their own understanding of what a community
needs, not understanding that the needs of America are very different. And this is why Alhamdulillah
after so many years, now, you see in most massages, you have Allah ma, you have Imams you have
Shijo, in there is who are now serving the community who understand the needs of the American
community, who are then able to, who are who are then able to educate the public in a particular
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:20
			way, which is very different than how things are done overseas. So this is the hikma of Allah
subhanho wa Taala because Had Allah sent an angel to these people, then they would have not been
able to follow that angel because the angel does not have the same needs as a human being does. So
Allah subhanaw taala saying that, I in fact, you should see this as a mercy you should see this as
an example, as a role model. And you rather you should see this, that if this person is a human
being, and he can do this, then most certainly I can relate to this person. And this is why
Subhanallah I've always emphasized upon this, that we should stay the seed of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:06:20 --> 00:07:04
			alayhi wa sallam, because the Prophet of Islam is a perfect example of how he was a human. And what
he went through in terms of his emotions in terms of his day to day affairs, he had a family, he had
children, he had to live in a community, he dealt with issues, he dealt with challenges, he dealt
with his own enemies and the people who did not like him. Likewise, as us human beings, if we go
through these kinds of same affairs in our life, we can always relate to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and on the other hand, had Allah sent an angel, perhaps we would have not been
able to, to connect with that angel in that particular way. So this is why ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:43
			saying that I send someone from within you who understands you, and who's able to explain to you in
your own language, and rather than you trying to see this in a negative light, rather than you
trying to launch this allegation against prophets of Salaam, that he's a human being just like us,
this is absolutely wrong, rather see this as a mercy. Now, I do want to say that I'm going on a sort
of a tangent over here quickly, that this is something that Subhanallah many cultures, even within
our own Muslim worlds, they have adopted the same kind of philosophy to when it comes to their alma
in their shoe yoke and so forth. In fact, now Alhamdulillah, he has changed by remember for a very
		
00:07:43 --> 00:08:21
			long time there was this mindset and mentality that if they saw a chef or an Imam, or an ilm, or a
Molana, or someone of that type, someone who's a preacher, a teacher, that they were in the
marketplaces or they were engaged in business, or they were doing anything different than just
teaching Quran and Sunnah, it was viewed as negative in society. And this is no different than how
the LA Times the police would think too. So this is why it's very important to understand that there
is nothing wrong if an island or a chef or an Imam and so forth. They engage in the hustles and
bustles of life and they're doing anything what everyone else is doing. Of course we're talking
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:30
			about Halal affairs and halal matters, then we should never ever see that in the negative light. Now
Allah subhanho wa Taala in the next idea, he says
		
00:08:33 --> 00:09:10
			oh you will call a day he comes on out Hakuna Allah Who Jana to Yakko minha we'll call a volley
Munna. intentive Your Honor. Illa Raja must Hora now Allah subhanho wa Taala saying that first of
all, they try to attack the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by saying that he's a human being
just like us. And Allah subhanho wa taala. He explained that the reason why Allah did this now the
next allegation they made against a Prophet SAW Selim, or the objection they made against Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that, that he does not have money. He's a poor person, he's in the
state of poverty. Perhaps if Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted us to be guided and he wants to send us
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:54
			a leader, then perhaps you should have given him a whole lot of money he should have made him very,
very rich. And not only that, but given him wealth Canson mean treasures and not only that comes on
out Akula who Jana Tanya coulomb in her or he should have been given gardens. Now in this day and
age. Any person who has many gardens is not viewed as someone who is extremely rich in society, or
someone who is very well off. However, long time ago in the time of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
This was considered as a very heavy in a very great commodity. Anyone who had gardens, like we find
in the story of a brutal Highland silo, the Allahu Allah and that he had the very well known famous
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			garden in Medina, known as be Raha, or beetle ha and he gave that
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			away for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala because you want to come close to Allah based on the
idea lentinan will be Rohatyn fecal matter a boon. And the Prophet saw some he would often come to
this garden and drink the Sweetwater of this garden and pluck the fruit and eat. But the point is
that at that time gardens and having guardians was considered as a, it was a sign of a man who's
extremely well off. So so here the police are saying that perhaps Allah should have made him rich.
Now, Allah subhanho wa taala, he responds to that by saying that if he was rich, okay, if he was
rich, then perhaps people could have said that because he has no other responsibilities because he
		
00:10:41 --> 00:11:18
			is well off. This is why he's engaged in the hour. And we cannot engage in Dawa and we cannot
dedicate ourselves to Allah subhanaw taala the way the Prophet of Islam did, because the poverty is
some is financial insecurity, and we are not financially secured. And this is why on the flip side,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was not such that he does not have anything going on his
life. Of course, we do learn that in the very beginning days of Islam till Khadija was alive, he
just business was in full opera, it was full under full operation, and money was coming from her
business, which was taking care of the affairs of the house of the Prophet SAW Selim and then later
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:53
			on the Prophet alayhi salam was given many gifts by many other people and so forth and the Prophet
alayhi salam, you know, if something would come to the house of the Prophet, he would eat that
otherwise, we know from this from his CEDAW that how many times he would have come home and he will
ask, Isha, is there anything to eat? And when I shall we say, Yes, well, there's nothing to eat, and
he will say, Hello, US Bismillah, I will, I'm fasting and he will fast for the rest of the day. So
it's not as if the person did not have needs as any human being. Because if the person did not have
the needs of any other human being, then people could have used that as a means of objection that he
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:31
			is able to, he's able to dedicate himself to Allah, because he doesn't have any human needs. And we,
on the other hand, have human needs, and needed Allah subhanaw taala make him so financially well
off that he has no worries about it, because that can also be taken the wrong way. Rather Allah
subhanaw taala put the Prophet alayhi salam in such a perfect position, that he's a human being he
has needs like all of you have. And therefore, if he can dedicate himself to Allah, you can most
certainly also dedicate yourself to Allah subhanho wa taala. And believe in Allah and do the things
as a Prophet alayhi salam is doing now I do want to make this point very clear is that later on in
		
00:12:31 --> 00:13:10
			the life of the Prophet alayhi salam, because if someone says that, well later on in the life of the
prophet it is some wealth was given to the to the Muslims, and that was in the Muslims came across
me a lot of wealth, whether it was due to the battles and the spoils of war that were coming into
Medina. And not only that, but later on, the Muslim community just became rich and richer. Of
course, that's absolutely fine. But by that time, Islam had already spread. And by that time, Islam
knew, I mean, people knew what Islam is and what it stands for. And they knew that even if Islam is
rich and the Muslim Kingdom or in Islamic State is rich, but once again, it's not that they were
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:47
			able to, or this is what their their basis was. So this is why ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada he sent the
Prophet it some as a perfect example. And later on, yes, Alhamdulillah they did have wealth and so
forth. And we do find that even in the time of Hajj, the Prophet sallallahu it was somebody who was
able to sacrifice so many camels. And Allah subhanho wa Taala gave the Prophet it has some so much
even when it came to people converting to Islam, so many people were converting to Islam, in many
folds, in the end of life of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In addition to this, another
important point to understand here is that Allah subhanaw taala is saying, and this is something
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:29
			that's going to come also in the next few is is, if you think that whether it's guidance or
materialistic wealth, or materialism, which one would the poverty some choose? Of course, the
poverty some will choose that which is more superior than materialism and that is guidance from
Allah subhanho wa Taala and worshiping Allah and coming to Allah and connecting with Allah, this is
more superior to the Prophet SAW Selim. Then would you say that he should rather have treasures and
gardens that even if even if I were to give this prophesied salaam you think the Prophet Allah Islam
would take this over guidance? Absolutely not. And Subhan Allah, so this is why the Prophet ALLAH
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:59
			SubhanA, Allah has made this very, very clear. And then at the end, he says, intercambio owner Illa
Rajala must hoorah. Then the next thing that came after or the next thing that they said about the
profiling, some is that perhaps he is possessed and we talked about this yesterday. So he showed
that there's no point in going into that again. Now the next ayat, Allah says onboard Okay, further
Ebola column fell for Balu philosophy, your own sob that this is a same idea, or a very similar idea
that is mentioned in SOTL Israa. And the point is that Allah subhanaw taala is telling the Prophet
Allah Who son
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:36
			He's consoling the prophet at some here is that do not worry about these allegations and these
attacks. And these people are making all these absurd examples about you. Allah subhanaw taala says
that football Lu, they are misguided for now you're still to your own sob law and they will not find
the path. And this is a reality that anyone who who, who's in who's involved in the character
assassination of the province of Saddam, anyone who tries to make a mockery of the province of
anyone who, who takes part in these kinds of activities, or who's diligent, who was very diligent in
doing these kinds of things, or trying to destroy the reputation, the province of Saddam, Allah
		
00:15:36 --> 00:16:13
			subhanho, wa taala, he, he miss guides them and he takes them far away from the path. And this Yes,
we do find that there are people that later on they were guided because Allah subhanaw taala saw
some good in them even though they said some very negative things about the Prophet Allah has some
guidance at the end of the day is in the hands of Allah subhanho wa taala. But for the most part,
Anyone who is engaged in launching accusations against a prophet creating false narratives about the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam going after his character and his reputation, then these people
are misguided. Finally, Allah subhanho wa Taala part of these few four is which talk about one
		
00:16:13 --> 00:17:02
			particular thing. Allah says the barrack again Allah goes back to the word Baraka, the barrack and
he's trying to remind everyone that he is the source of Baraka, the baraka levy in sha Allah, Allah
Hi Rahman, Danica, Jeannette, integer demon, Tatiana, and how are you, John lecarre costura, bless
it is he, if it be his will, should give you shall give you better things than these. So this is
Allah subhanho wa Taala saying over here, that if you the police are saying that you would have been
impressed if he had treasures are he had gardens, this is what you think is a sign of him or a sign
of someone who should be accepted. Rather Allah Subhanallah saying that if it was up to me, I would
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:46
			give him much more better if it was about materialism. You think that these are the two things that
that should be given to him? If it was up to me and if it was about materialism, I would have given
him something way better way superior than just treasures in gardens, the baraka levy in sha Allah,
Allah hyaluron Menza Lika Jana into journeyman data and how ALLAH SubhanA saying that he shall give
you better things than these gardens through which running water flows way edge I like a sutra and
he were giving you palaces. So they're talking about treasures and small gardens, I would have given
you Gardens under which rivers are flowing in I would have granted you palaces, then we would have
		
00:17:46 --> 00:18:24
			talked about materialism. But once again, this was never the objective. And even the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he himself would have always chosen guidance over materialism. So once
again, these are another set of four yet talking about the allegations made by the Quraysh against
prophesied Salem and how Allah subhanaw taala he responds to them. The last thing I want you to
understand is that when we talk about these kinds of things, try to put yourself in the shoes of the
prophets of Salaam. Imagine you're living in a community, and you have been living in that community
for 4050 years. And now after so many years after people know what you have done, imagine there are
		
00:18:24 --> 00:19:04
			rumors about going about going around circulating in the community about you that how dishonest you
are, how untrustworthy you are, how you are such a liar and so forth. Imagine the emotional state
that any person would go through today we cannot even handle if one person says something very
negative to us. Think about there is a concentrated effort going on in Makkah to discredit the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam even though they were the same ones who has said that he is a
trustworthy person. So you have to understand that the emotional state of the Prophet Allah He Islam
is going through. This is why Allah subhanaw taala is consoling the Prophet This is why Allah is
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:25
			responding to the courage for this reason. So inshallah we start right here. Next we come across is
that we're now they are going to make false info. They're going to fabricate information about the
day judgment. So first of all, they went after Allah. Then they went after the prophets of salaam
now they're gonna go after the concept in the validity
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:49
			of the judgment whether it will occur or not. So inshallah we'll we'll start right here I ask Allah
subhana wa Tada to grant us a class. May Allah Subhana Allah grant us the Athene May Allah subhanho
wa Taala grant us the love of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the Quran and we ask Allah
subhana wa Taala in this beautiful month of Ramadan May Allah accept from all of us admirable Allah
