Nadim Bashir – Tafseer of Surah Al Furqaan #16

			Well I
		

			mean how
		

			many mean no mostly me.
		

			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Muhammad wa it was a hobby of mine I'm about inshallah we
continue our to have seen well suited for upon we are at number 43. And in the previous verses Allah
subhana, WA Tada is consoling Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. First of all, ALLAH SubhanA wa
tells the Prophet sallahu wa he was setting them that these people are making a mockery of you, but
they will realize in the hereafter the who was actually the one who were far away from the right
path. And one thing I forgot to mention about that is that Subhanallah the Quran is so beautiful in
		

			His nature. And this is one thing that the Quran did not want to do. They did not want people to
hear the Quran. They do not want people to listen about Islam and even Subhanallah today, what
people are trying to do is that they're trying to create a bad taste in people's mouth about what
Islam is, create a, a false narrative about Islam, create a very negative picture about Islam, but
Subhanallah what we see today so in the world that is that it all backfires upon these kinds of
people. A person who has never ever heard about Islam, they hear about Islam for the very first time
in a negative sense, but this only propels them to go and learn about Islam. And then they soon
		

			realize that this is the deen that makes the most amount of sense. And this is the deen that I have
been looking for Subhanallah in all my experiences when it comes to giving shahada the one thing
that people majority of time have said is that I was looking for something and I found my answer in
Islam. And this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala says that the Quran they will say they will call it
Lavina Cafaro Ledesma only had the Quran when the whole fee he taglib on that do not let people hear
this Quran or create false things about the Quran create a negative picture but about the Quran,
perhaps they will not even listen to the Quran. But the Quran is something so amazing that When
		

			anyone hears it, it just captures their heart, we find in the story of Omaha, Pablo, the Aloha and
that he simply just began to recite Surah Baja, and that is all that he needed and it changed his
life a few I was able to change his entire life. So this is why Subhan Allah one key advice I do
have is that many times I have many times I've come across many youth, I come across even many
people but mostly youth who say that I'm at a point in my life that I have doubts in Allah subhana
wa Tada. And I don't know if Islam is the right thing for me is if if Islam is the right path for
me, is this what I want to do for the rest of my life because I never chose this religion for
		

			myself. I was born into a Muslim family but now I'm at this point that I have doubts and my honest
advice, because based on these ideas that we have just covered, that how powerful the Quran was, I
would strongly suggest that go through the entire Quran a very strong advice, especially to our
youth. Go and read the Quran studied the Quran and I can almost guarantee you that when you study
and you review the Quran and you just read it in general with the translation and so forth, then
inshallah I can firmly say that you will have a very strong sense about your iman you will feel you
will feel that you have more conviction in your iman, this is also the same advice I've given to
		

			people who have said that they have had doubts in the life of the prophet or some they have doubts
about the CEDAW about Hadith people who say that I have some doubts about Hadith perhaps hadith is
not something that I can believe in, because you're talking about so many years, and how can Hadith
be preserved and so forth. And we find that there's a big fitna in the world that people who do not
believe in Hadith, they're called the added Quran and so forth, that they just believe only in the
Quran. And we all know that you cannot just believe only in the Quran, without believing in the
Hadith, both of them go hand in hand. You have to believe in the Quran. You believe in the Sunnah of
		

			the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and they both complement one another. So this is why even when people
have come and they said, I'm having struggles with Hadith, I've always told them to study the life
of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam And subhanAllah for that they have not had any kind of
doubts. So this is why it is so important is sort of unfair, that we say that I have doubts in the
Quran. And when we say I have doubts in the Quran, we're saying that we have doubts in Allah
subhanho wa Taala the one who is the nurturer, the one who has sustained who has sustained us till
today and he will be sustaining us forever. We are saying that we have doubts in him. But have we
		

			ever gone and we have we ever taken time out to read his book. Have we
		

			ever sat down to read the kalam of Allah subhanho wa Taala I feel like it's it's an injustice, it's
unfair to Allah subhanaw taala to say that I have doubted Allah but I have not even once read the
Quran so this is why a very strong advice because of what we see in the past that we must read the
Quran and really reflect upon the Quran and even long time ago, the Quran even they realize that the
Quran is so powerful so therefore let's try to find a way for people to even listen to the Quran
being recited. So this is why I just want to just just really mention that based on our previous
Tafseer session that we I was not able to mention now we come to it number 43. Allah subhanho wa
		

			Taala says, or a terminator cada Illa who Hawa a Antetokounmpo Allahu Akela. So it is as if Allah
subhanaw taala is once again trying to explain to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the fact
that these people are not able to understand common sense. Because see, what we see is that so far
in the sutra, one after another, every single objection posed by the Quraysh, every single question
that has been presented by them, Allah subhanaw taala has answered each one of them. And it's no
different than imagine today talking to someone that who only talks I mean, think about this,
today's Subhanallah in a world that we live in, especially when it comes to politics, how many times
		

			when it comes to politics, you're discussing, you're talking to someone else. And that person is
just talking from their own heart, whatever they've heard in the media, whatever they've heard,
whatever they've heard, their leader say they just, that's what they simply believe in. And they're
just talking from their whims from their desires from their heart. Nothing that they're saying is
based on evidence is based on facts. So when we look at that kind of person, how many times you and
I, we will get frustrated that what kind of a foolish person this person is, I mean, has this person
lost? The basic common sense that ALLAH SubhanA has given us that this person that are these people,
		

			they are just simply emotional, and they don't look at evidence, they don't ever talk, and they
don't ever discuss anything with evidence is always just about emotions. And you know, you know,
getting people riled up just based on emotions, and just creating fabrications, and so forth. And we
see that people today, but the police were no different. The police were no different whenever they
would talk, they were just talking about their desires don't just make up things from the blue, they
will just create and fabricate information. On the other hand, think about a man who's trying to
talk to them logically, that this is my evidence, evidence, one evidence, two evidence three
		

			evidence for and yet they're trying, they are negating and they are rejecting and ignoring more than
anything else, they are ignoring the evidence, we will say that this person has truly lost her mind.
They do not have the simple ability to understand common sense. Brothers and sisters, the Quraysh
were no different. In this case, whenever they will talk about Islam, they will just create
information. The evidence is there in front of them yet they will not accept the evidence. And it's
it's mind boggling is as if you want to pull your hair out that how can you not understand this, but
this is where Rasulullah is being consoled by Allah subhanho wa Taala that jasola these people
		

			they're talking from their own desires are etha old prophet of Allah. Have you seen a money to her?
Ila Ha hoo, ha. Have you seen the person who has taken their desires, as their god mean that we
believe in Allah, you and whoever believes in whatever God, usually you believe in it, you trust it,
you follow it? That is your guiding force, Allah subhanaw saying that for them, their guiding force
in life is their desire. And it's not based on evidence. It's not based on logic. It's not based on
values. It's not based on anything, is just based on what they think is right and what they think is
wrong. So Allah subhanho wa taala. And so the Jaffe also he says, that for these people who follow
		

			their desires, he says a 408 Amanita, for the ILA Ha hoo, ha. Very similar to this idea. By the way,
this is why I'm sharing this idea with you too, because they both are very similar in the very
beginning. But in Surah Jaffe, Allah subhanho wa Taala he continues on and he says, what a one love
Allahu Allah ailment and whom Allah subhanho wa Taala allowed to go astray in the face of knowledge
mean that knowledge is right there. There is right there the evidence is right there evidence is
knowledge. And so Allah Subhan saying that there are rejecting that knowledge about Allahu Allahu
Allah Elman wahama Allah summary he were called to be wotja Allah Allah wa salim Masha Allah. So
		

			Allah is saying that sealing his his ears and his heart and covering the eyes, who can guide is such
a person after God or after Allah subhanaw taala has done some has done something to someone like
that mean that Allah subhanaw saying that after these people cannot even see what's in front of
them. They see the evidence they see what is logic they see the right values yet
		

			They just simply rejected. Why just because they want to. That's it just because their heart tells
them to do it. They're doing that. So Allah Subhan saying that for these kinds of people is as if
their minds have been sealed. Their hearts have been sealed their ears have been sealed their eyes
have been sealed mean that you see the truth yet you just don't see it. You hearing the truth, you
just want to ignore it. And subhanAllah we see the same thing happening today. This is why you want
to study the Quran a little deeper, you will find out whatever the prophecy is some he went through
today we see a very similar situation today. And so Allah subhanaw taala just like he's consoling
		

			them, and the Prophet Isa in one way, this is a constellation for us from Allah subhanho wa Taala
that these are people that will allow you there's nothing you can do about them. Allah subhanaw has
sealed their hearts, their minds, their ears, in their their ability to see and so forth. And Allah
Sabha and there's nothing you can do about them. And then Allah says I'm taxable. An extra home Yes,
Mona. Oh yaki don't do you really think oh prophet of Allah Azza wa sallam? Do you really think that
they can listen to understand? They cannot. They don't have this ability to understand the truth and
to understand what is hot, and they don't even have to understand they don't they cannot even hear
		

			it mean that they hear it but yet they intend to neglect it. And Allah subhanaw taala saying for
these kinds of people, he has said, In whom in
		

			Balham of Allah Subhan Allah, Allah says that they are like cattle, they are like animals, but they
are more a stray from the right path. Meaning that this is a very similar to what Allah subhanaw
taala has mentioned in sort of our off in so the art of Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions that Welaka
verot Nalli Jahan nama cathedral misogyny what ends the ALLAH SubhanA saying that for many of the
insight and gent Allah subhanaw has created the fire Jahannam Lahoma Kulu urban life gonna be hard
they have hearts, but they're not able to understand well, how are you known? Now you also don't
have you have you have eyes, yet? They don't see the truth when they don't lie. Yes, I want to be
		

			heard you have ears, yet they cannot listen to the truth. They are not able to really understand the
truth will kill an arm again. Allah there says they are like animals been home above they are worse
than animals. Why are they worse than animals, because an animal understands also its MCSA its
purpose of life, yet the human being being the Ashraful microcode being as Allah says, lack of the
Holopainen in Santa Fe assets that point, the insan the human being is the greatest creation of
Allah subhanho wa taala. Out of all the other creation He has created. Yet this human being Allah
has given us human being aka an intellect. Yet this intellect is completely fried, it's gone, it
		

			does not even exist. They don't even understand simple things, some basic logic or basic evidence,
they don't see these kinds of things. But on the other hand, an animal it understands its purpose of
life, and it fulfills this, but the human being has fallen down in such a level that it becomes
worse than a human being, it becomes worse than an animal and SubhanAllah. You know, this is the
world that we live in today. There are so many people that are living this kind of life. And Allah
subhanaw taala is consoling the problem to solve them. There's nothing you can do. Imagine when you
say an animal, have you see a cow standing on the side of the road, or when you see a cow like when
		

			you know when people like are driving on the highways, the interstates, and you see cows and cattle
and so forth. They're just completely oblivious. They have absolutely no idea what's around them.
Allah subhanaw saying that they're worse than animals. They are they have reached such a level of
obliviousness that even an animal like if there is any severe level of obliviousness, it's that of
an animal, like an animal is completely oblivious of its surroundings, but at times, still, at
times, the animal is somewhat aware, like if you see an animal and there's like a, an herbivore
animal, and then you have a carnivore animal that comes right away. They're divorced, they usually
		

			run they have they're sort of, they're still aware of their surroundings a little bit. But on the
other hand, these people, they are like worse than animals, they have absolutely no clue about what
is around them. And subhanAllah it's so important that when it comes to society, we have to
understand that believing Allah subhanho wa Taala is not actually yes, we are the slaves of Allah
subhanho wa taala. But the way journey gets portrayed is that by being the slave of Allah, you are a
slave. And when you don't worship Allah, then you actually have freedom. But what we don't realize
is that is the opposite around. When you believe in Allah, that is actual freedom even though we are
		

			the slaves of Allah, but that's actual freedom, because to please want Allah and we know what it
pleases Allah instilled, it becomes easier, but when you become a slave to society, when you become
a slave to the standards and the norms of society, remember that society will always change norms
will always change. Today what is considered as right tomorrow can be considered as wrong and today
what is considered as wrong
		

			won't be considered as acceptable tomorrow. But if our society if we become a slave to society, we
become a slave to other people, and I want to I want to do things in my life to please other people
will lie you will never find any happiness and this is where you become a slave to your desires. And
you just simply do what you ever you want to do. You have no moral compass in life, you have nothing
that provides you a direction that tells you what is right and what is wrong. You're just like an
animal and you're just wandering about on Earth. So ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to not make us from
amongst those who become enslaved to their desires. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us in
		

			slave truly into slaves of Allah subhanho wa Taala We ask Allah to make our desires in such a way
that it is subjected to what Allah subhana wa Taala wants May Allah subhana wa Taala protect us from
becoming victims of our of the society and the norms of society. It ask Allah subhanaw taala to
protect us in our upcoming generations. I mean noble Alameen is akmola hate Salam Alaikum
