Navaid Aziz – 32 Tafsir Juz E Amma Surah Al Inshiqaq
AI: Summary ©
The political and cognitive process of Allah subhanho wa taala involves shreddering the sky into pieces and creating the image of the sky. The success of Islam is highlighted, including praying together during busy days to ensure everyone is safe and healthy, the importance of praying with your spouse and children, and the negative consequences of doing things, including the cycle of the moon and third moon. The speakers emphasize the need for flexibility in a legal context for a situation involving a church, flexibility in a legal message to convey that the situation is not acceptable, and a strong message to convey that the situation is not acceptable.

My dear brothers and sisters salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Tonight we'll be discussing sola and shikaka Bismillah. He tala
and showed us around Chicago is actually a summary of the three students before it. So if you look starting from
sort of the Takuya, all the way to SoTL. In Chicago, you'll notice a shortage in Chicago is the summary of the Sooners before it, and there are several reoccurring themes inside sortal in Chicago that are found in the previous suitors, as well. So you'll notice that some of the issues that we discuss in total in Chicago tonight, be the night either we'll be going into further detail as we discuss some of the other suitors. Now starting off with a brief summary of sort of in shock, you'll notice that Allah subhanho wa Taala, he divides sorta in shock into four different sections. So certainly Chicago is divided into four different sections. section number one is verses one to six,
and verses one to six, Allah subhanho wa Taala is talking about the events that will take place on the Day of Judgment itself. And in section number two, Allah subhanho wa Taala starts talking about the journey of mankind. And this is from verses six to 15, from six to 15. And then, from 16, to 26, Allah subhanho wa Taala starts talking about the signs amongst the creation, the signs amongst the creation, and how it's important to reflect over them. And then the last section of the sutra, here, Allah subhanho wa Taala is warning the people know that once you reflected over the signs of Allah subhanaw taala, you've received the ultimate warning. Now what's important to notice, particularly
with this surah is the relationship between the beginning of the surah and the ending of the surah. And that's something we'll come to discuss at the ending, but pay close attention to the beginning, and then try to derive or come to the conclusion as to how it ties in with the conclusion biLlahi to Allah. So Allah subhanho wa Taala he says in the very, very first verse in a seminar on shapcott, that the term is that it means when so it's not an issue of if something will happen, but Allah subhanho wa Taala in the surah is saying that when this happens, so it's going to be guaranteed that is going to happen. Now what is this first event that Allah subhanaw taala talks about is a summer
on Chicago, that it is the sky being torn into bits and pieces, okay, and here, it's not only the sky, but it's everything that is above us everything that is above us, including the planets and all the other creation that is out there until one reaches the heavens itself. So everything that is above us, it will be completely destroyed and torn into pieces. Now I want you to think about you know, nowadays they've created paper shredders, so you put the paper inside the paper shredder, and it shreds the paper to pieces, but it's only in two straight lines. Now if you put this paper again into the shredder again and put it the opposite way, you'll notice that it will now create it into
squares and slowly shredding the pieces. When Allah subhana wa tada is talking about the sky being torn apart. It's not in a methodological way where it's in vertical lines and horizontal lines, no literally it will be torn apart and shred into pieces. And this is one of the very first events that Allah subhanho wa Taala will show us on the beginning of the day of judgment that that which we considered mighty that which we considered great, Allah subhanho wa Taala will have it shredded to pieces right in front of our eyes. Now what's important to notice over here is why is Allah subhanaw taala reminding us of this. Now let's find out what Allah goes on into the second verse and tells us
what are the nuts they are behalf wahaca the term adding over here it comes from two derivatives, the first derivative is to give permission to something. So when you seek permission for something, this is called avian, okay this is known as even in the Arabic language to seek permission. And then the second derivative that this is coming from is that of the year so the year in the Arabic language is called Odin and Adana is to hear something right so when something is heard, it is it comes from the same root word of
What are the nuts over here? So it is something that is heard. And both of them over here make sense. So here, Allah subhanaw taala gave permission to the sky to be shredded into pieces. And in the second understanding is that Allah subhanaw taala told the sky to be shredded into pieces, what are the net neurobehavioral hocutt and it was hocutt over here means that it was the right of Allah subhanaw taala that it should be obeyed in this matter. So here's a very interesting point right over here, that you notice how Allah subhanho wa Taala created creation into two different categories creation number one that which is has options and freedom right? So human beings Jin, we
have options and freedom. We want to obey Allah subhanho wa Taala we want to disobey Allah subhanaw taala these are conscious decisions that we will make, however other than the mankind in general, everything submits to the call of Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala says that it is the right of Allah subhanho wa Taala that the sky obey Allah subhanho wa Taala so I want you to look at the cognitive process that will take place over here. So the sky and here's something Allah subhanaw taala tells us to be torn into pieces, and then it hears and it obeys. Whereas the cognitive process for the human being is that it will hear the call of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and then it will process should I obey Allah subhanho wa Taala Should I not obey Allah subhanaw taala and perhaps it will start looking into consequences at that time. Then what are the repercussions of me obeying Allah subhanho wa Taala and the consequences of me not obeying Allah subhana wa Tada. So this is where the process takes place. And then you'll notice that the people with the purest of fedoras, their cognitive process will be just like the rest of the creation of Allah subhanaw taala then when it comes to obeying Allah subhanho wa Taala it will only do that which Allah subhanaw taala wants, and disobeying Allah subhanho wa Taala will not even be an option
for it. And this is the sign of the pure fitrah the pure, unadulterated creation that Allah subhanaw taala created inside of us, which is our moral compass. The period is the quicker it is no bank, Allah subhana wa Tada. So here are my notes and it tells us that it is the right of Allah subhanaw taala that the sky should obey Allah subhanaw taala then Allah subhanaw taala gives us the second event. And that second event is what is the autodromo death. And when the earth is flattened out and stretched when the earth is flattened out and stretched. Now this concept is very interesting, because obviously, we're going to see in the next verse, Allah subhanaw, taala will expel everything
that is in the ground on top of the earth. So anyone that had died, anything that was hitting in the earth, Allah subhanaw taala will send it out. And it will be in its pure, when it will be in its adult form at that time for the human beings. So now when Allah subhanaw taala sends out all of the dead people that are in the ground, obviously, that's going to take up a lot of space. So right now we have roughly around 7 billion people in the planet. That's correct, right, so 7 billion people on the planet. Now imagine how many human beings that have been from the beginning of creation from the beginning of creation. We're talking about literally, you know, trillions of people, possibly Allah
subhanaw taala knows best, but a very large amount of people. And then the ahaadeeth de described that even though Allah subhanho wa Taala will stretch out the earth as far as it can possibly stretch. And even more than that, even then people will only have place to put their two feet together, people only have place to put their two feet together for the most part. And as people are coming out, that is like this is an important point to understand. You'll notice that in certain verses Allah subhanho wa Taala talks about people running away from each other, right? There are certain verses in the Quran, where Allah talks about on the Day of Judgment, people will be running
away from each other, then you look at the ahaadeeth. And the Hadith tells you that there's only enough place for people to put their two feet. If there's only enough place for that to happen. How are they running around, the scholars interpreted and reconciled between these two, they said number one is that clearly people will be trampled over. So even though there's only diamonds place to stand as people are running around, people will be trampling over other people due to the chaos of the event. And the second thing is, though, they said even before everyone is exiled or kicked out of the the earth itself before they're created into a standing position, then at that time, that is
when the running around is going to take place. People are going to be looking for a place to hide as people are being thrown out from the earth that is when the running is going to be taking place. So this is how Allah subhanho wa Taala will expand the earth. And why did I say this is an interesting concept? Because is this going to be a physical expansion of the earth or is this just going to be something that is missing?
Oracle and in Allah Subhana Allah knows best in this situation, it seems that it is going to be something which physically happens. Whereas if you were to look at the do I suffer, if you look at do I suffer? One of the things that you asked for in do I suffer? Is what we uncovered that Oh Allah make this distance shorter for us. So now when you ask Allah subhanaw taala to make this distance shorter for us, is it literally Oh Allah shrink the distance between these two places? No, that's not the case. what is being said is that Allah subhanho wa Taala bless our journey for us, so that we covered this distance quickly without any interruptions whereas on the Day of Judgment, Allah
subhanaw taala will physically flatten out the earth and will stretch it out so that everyone can fit on that day. And then Allah subhana wa tada goes on to remind us of the exact same thing, what are the next little B ha ha cuts, then it heard the commander of its Lord, and it obeyed right away. It heard the commander of its Lord, and it obeyed right away. Now Allah subhanaw taala goes on to give us the crux of the sutra. You'll notice my dear brothers and sisters, that when you reflect over each and every sooner, each and every soldier has a pivotal verse in it. Now obviously all the Quran is important in all the Quran needs to be reflected over, but each and every soldier you will
find upon reflection, that it has a pivotal verse in it. So for example, let us take sort of Fatiha what is the pivotal verse inside sola Fatiha. Go ahead.
I sent the verse ear canal Buddha can stand that it is only You we worship and You that we seek assistance from then you look inside circle Bukhara what is the pivotal verse inside circle bacara
you will resetting the beginning of the tsunami. I need the pivot of the very important verse inside so I could see this is what Allah subhanaw taala tells us. So now even though there isn't a specific science behind it, the scholars have tried to make he had particularly the scholars of Tafseer that if you look inside each and every suitor, you will find that each and every soldier has this one monumental verse, which describes not only the theme of the sutra, but the most important message behind it as well. So now when it comes to this sutra, it is this verse right over here, where Allah subhanaw taala says, you Yeah, you insane inac Acadia Neela Rebecca Callahan for malarkey, where he
says, Oh man, so he's calling out upon all of mankind, Muslim and kappler you know, young and old, you know, black or white, whatever the case may be, as long as you're considered a human being. Allah subhanaw taala is calling you out in this verse in the Caribbean in Arabic that you are going to be struggling towards your Lord. So two important points over here. Number one, is how this journey be. So regardless of Muslim or Catholic, you're going to be struggling, you're going to be suffering you're going to be in toil, you're going to be in hardship. Number two, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells you where your destination is going to be, that your destination will be towards Allah
subhanho wa Taala. So now in case you wanted Arabic adhan from Allah and you will eventually meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. So these are the three pivotal points inside of this verse, that all mankind everyone is being called out that you will struggle that is number one. Number two, is that your destination is to Allah subhanho wa Taala and number three, you're going to meet Allah subhana wa Tada. Now malarkey over here can be interpreted in one of two ways. Number one, it can mean just merely meeting Allah subhana wa Tada. And number two, it can mean actually presenting Allah subhanho wa Taala presenting something to Allah subhana wa tada meaning the deeds that you're going to be
bringing forth with you. So here are Allah subhanho wa Taala. After describing the Day of Judgment, he tells us why he's in setting that fear of the Day of Judgment inside of us now. So you look at the first four verses, it is about the sky being torn apart, and it is about the earth being spread out. And everything that is inside of it is being expelled onto this earth. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us that Allah subhanaw taala called the skies and the earth and they obeyed it right away. Now why is Allah subhanaw taala creating this image for us, because just like the skies and the and the earth, obeyed Allah subhanho wa Taala a time will come where all of mankind will have to
obey Allah subhanho wa Taala as well. And that's what we're going to see the light Allah with the continuation. So now let us reflect on this verse for a moment.
When Allah subhanaw taala talks about struggle, this is the nature of life. You know, as human beings, we always want to find the easiest and shortest way
So perhaps you're walking in the park. And you'll notice that in parks, they'll have a set walkway, right? So there's pavement in the park. And that is where you're meant to walk. But then you'll notice that as soon as you get close to the grass, you'll see that people have created their own pathway. Whereas if they were to walk on the summit, this would be a long journey, perhaps throughout the whole park, and they'd reach the destination at that time. But when you're walking on the grass, you're going to your destination, it's a shorter route for you. So as human beings, Allah subhanho wa Taala created us with several characteristics. One is of always wanting to do things
easily and quickly looking for the shortest way. Number two, is that Allah subhanaw taala created us created us with laziness, so we can do something in the with the least effort possible, we will do it and that is why you'll notice that even with something as glorious as Salah in Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us 113 different suitors to pick and choose from in the Quran. But we're going to choose, you know, now Tina, and kololo ahead, right, because it's the laziest thing to do. And then we'll be like, I've fulfilled my obligation towards Allah subhana wa Tada, right. So this is a concept of laziness. And then the third characteristic that Allah subhanaw taala creators with his
procrastination is procrastination. Meaning if we can delay something as late as possible, we will do so as long as it you know, we it gets accepted. And you'll see this in all facets of life. That you when it comes to you when your summer when it comes to performing hajj, when it comes to doing anything related to the deen of Allah subhanaw taala There's always time. But when it comes to your desires, you need to eat, you need to sleep, you need to go to the bathroom, it needs to be done instantaneously. There's no procrastination. And when was the last time you procrastinated, you know, going eating something you know, I'll eat later on. No, you don't do that, because there's a
desire in sight. So these are the three characteristics that Allah subhanaw taala created us with. Now, regardless of which direction you're going in a direction of righteousness or a direction, away from righteousness, you'll notice that there's always going to be struggle, right? Well, the conduct and insanity cupboard that we have created mankind in toil. So regardless of what you're doing, you're going to be struggling. And you point number two now comes, your final destination is going to be meeting Allah subhanho wa Taala and presenting something to him. So now all of mankind realizes this, then why is it that they don't prepare for that meeting with a list of high notes?
Why is it that they don't prepare for this meeting with Allah subhana wa Tada. And this is when the person's desires get in the way, this is when the person's ambitions get in the way. This is when a person's lust gets in the way, this is when the person's greed gets in the way. Whereas if you noticed and kept this in mind, perhaps you know wrote it on your mirror, wrote it in your car, wrote it on your phone, that you're eventually going to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. And you need to present something to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala with perhaps you'd have a different focus in life. Perhaps you'd have different aspirations in life, that all of that would change with this one simple
reminder that one day I'm going to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala What am I going to present Allah subhanaw taala on that day, so I must find what Allah tells us that you're going to be meeting him. Now unless I know what Santa goes on to tell us the two consequences of meeting Allah subhanho wa Taala meaning that when people meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. On that day, there will only be one of two scenarios. And Scenario number one is for a moment ohtsuki teboho BIA meaning that those individuals that will be given the book with the right hand, for sofa, you hypothesize that they will be from those individuals that Allah subhanho wa Taala will give them an easy judgement and an
easy reckoning. Now, what does this exactly mean? That when Allah subhanho wa Taala, he meets the righteous people, they're not going to be scrutinized for each and every single thing that they did. But rather it will be very, very few things or nothing at all, that Allah subhanaw taala will look at their books, and will tell them right away that you have succeeded. And they will be presented their books in the right hand to show that they have been successful. And then we'll come to see the second group of people, William kalibo, Li Li masuleh, so that now this person has been given the book in his right hand, and the right hand is the hand of honor a hand of prestige, as opposed to
the the left hand in this situation. And let's find what Allah tells us why he Masuda that he will return to his family, someone who was happy and overjoyed. Now when the last minute Allah talks about family over here, which family is he referring to? Is he referring to immediate family members? Or is he referring to a greater bond that Allah subhana wa tada has created? Allah subhanaw taala is referring to greater bond that Allah subhanaw taala has
Read it. And that is the family of Islam, and particularly over here, the family that people will have an agenda. Because the reality of the situation is that even if you were a prophet, not all of your family members are going to paradise. You look at Ibrahim with his father, you look at North with his son, you you look at load with his wife, and you look at you know, relationship after relationship and even the prophets, they will not guarantee to take their family members to agenda. So when Allah subhanho wa Taala says, well, young kalibo Allah Halima surah, he's referring to that the people of Paradise will be one big family at that time. And people have righteousness, our
family, not only in this life, but more so in the hereafter together. And this is such an important point, it's upon a lot, that when you look at family in this life, they are perhaps one of the greatest trials, Allah subhanho wa Taala will give you when it comes, you agree with us. He's nodding his head, you look at your your family members, and they're like the biggest trial that unless I know it's, I'll give you that when it comes to, you know, deciding your career. Your mom and dad wants you to become you know, a doctor or an engineer, and you want to become like a pilot or something like that. It comes to marriage. Your parents want you to marry from your own culture,
and you want to marry someone that you met at school, right? So time after time, you're you're you're butting heads with your parents, when it comes to your siblings. They'll take stuff without asking you. They'll make fun of you. If you're if you're younger than them, and they'll torture you. They'll make your life miserable. You look at you know your aunts and uncles that you only see them very rarely, but every time you meet them, they have to embarrass you in front of the whole family. Right? So this is the nature of family. This is the nature of family and from the duyst that Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches us particularly for our spouses and for our children is that Oh Allah,
granted spouses and children that are the coolness of our eyes, right? Or benevolent, I mean, as wide you know, God attina kurata you are Jana limit, Akina Mama, that all law make from our spouses and from our children, those that are the coolness of our eyes. Now you'll notice how the spouses and children become the corners of your eyes. Because I was fine with Alan at the same time in the Koran, he tells us that from your spouses and from your children, or those who are doing that they are your enemies, and unless I know the other refers to them, as a fitna, now they will become the coolness of your eyes. When in this life, you worship Allah subhanho wa Taala together, and if you
don't worship Allah subhanho wa Taala together, then they become a hindrance for you in worshiping Allah subhanho wa Taala. So you'll notice that family members that aren't praying together, particularly husband and wife, and only one of them is praying, that's such a dysfunctional relationship to be in, that you feel embarrassed sometimes that I don't want to play in front of the other person because they might feel bad or they might say something to me at that time. Whereas that functioning relationship will only exist when both parties know and all the family members know that look, we are a family that is there to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is why you see
that from the advice of the prophets is that even as they were done, jacoba asks his children what will you worship after I passed away he made sure that his children said Allah subhana wa tada and Allah subhana wa tada praises the prophets that they used to command their families with Salah used to command their families with some anomala macabre the Allahu anhu I want you to imagine this, he used to make chiamo Leyland tahajud compulsory upon his family that if you're going to be the family of Nakata, you have to wake up for keyamo Lane. Now you can imagine doing something like that in our day and age, you know, whether it is the wife weighing up the husband or the husband flicking up the
wife, you know, it's obviously you know, get lost, then they go to sleep, we can't do this. But the Sahaba de la Han Han and the prophets, they had higher standards for their families, that they knew this life is very short work together for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala whether it be the way we interact, or whether it be the actions we do together, it should be in worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that is why my dear brothers in particular, if you're not able to make it to the masjid, then the very least you should be doing is praying with your spouses. There should never be an incident where you are at home, your family is at home, and you guys aren't praying together.
Right? Unless there's I mean, obviously if your family's not praying at that time, for you know, natural reasons, that's fine. But outside of that case, you should be praying together when kalibo illa de Mistura. So the greater family is the family of Eman which Allah subhanaw taala blesses in this dunya by brotherhood and sisterhood and in the Hereafter, by making the people that we will be with for an eternity and we pray that Allah subhana wa Taala makes us of those people who are given their books in the right hand. I mean, so we'll conclude over here the first section with the lights Allah will place a lot of Asia and we'll continue right after similar to the show, basically, Tom de
la salatu salam ala rasulillah while he was suffering one man wonder, Am I bad? So continuing from where we left off now after let's find out what the other shows us.
What he does with the first category of people, those who are given their books in the right hands, Allah subhanaw taala now goes on to tell us the second category of people and Allah subhana wa Tada. He goes on to tell us for a moment, the Akita who Allah Spano, tala goes on to tell us about the second category, what am an otaku turbo, who are all of that as for those people who are given their books behind their backs, so now you'll notice my dear brothers and sisters in the Quran, when Allah subhanaw taala talks about the two groups of people, the second category of people, he describes them in two ways, for a moment ohtsuki turbomachinery, that those that are given their books and
their left hand, and the second way, is that those that are given their books behind their backs? Is your contradiction. No, there's not a contradiction, but rather Allah subhana wa Tada, or as the predecessors have told us, that on that day, Allah subhanho wa Taala, will bind the criminals together, how will they be bound, the criminals, the right hands will be around their necks and their back, their left hands will be binded behind their backs. So when they're given their books, they'll be given their books in their left hand, which is behind their backs at that time. So that is how the verses are reconciled. Now why does it let's find out what the other binds the criminals
in this way. It has something to do with the concept of freedom. So now as human beings, we know that Allah Subhana, WA, tada has given us a certain amount of freedom, and that freedom is the freedom of choice. So we have all the choices in front of us, what do we want to wear? What do we want to eat? You know, What time should we pray, are we going to pray, all of these choices are in front of us. And this is the freedom of choice. Now, what Allah subhanho wa Taala has not given us freedom in is the freedom of consequence. So we are bound by the consequences of our choice. And that is why when you look at absolute and ultimate freedom, it doesn't exist, because we are bound
by the laws of Allah subhanaw taala, we only have the freedom of choice. Now based upon this concept of freedom of choice, Allah subhana wa Taala will make the righteous people completely free in the Hereafter, that not only are they free to choose what they like, but they do not have to fear the consequence of anything. Whereas the criminals on that day since they had no fear of Allah subhanaw taala and no care about the choices that they made in this dunya Allah subhanho wa Taala is binding them by their nose, by their necks, and by their backs in the hereafter. Now, I want you to think about what is the wisdom behind Allah subhanho wa Taala binding the arms behind the back, if you've
ever watched MMA, or if you've ever taken jujitsu or anything like that, you'll notice that one of the simplest moves is just grabbing a person's arm and putting it behind their back and applying a little bit of pressure. And that little bit of pressure will automatically force them into the core, and you keep pushing even further, it'll automatically force them into sujood. So those people that refuse to bow down to Allah subhanho wa Taala and price streets to Allah subhanaw taala don't naturally be forced to do that in the Hereafter, as a consequence of not doing it in this dunya. So unless I know what Allah will give them their books in their left hand, and as a consequence of
giving their books in their left hand behind their backs, it is the exact opposite of the people of righteousness. So the people of righteousness, they had a very easy, you know, meeting with Allah subhanaw taala, Allah subhanaw taala tells them you pass Congratulations, your agenda forever, you know, go and have a good time. And that's where the party begins. Whereas the people who are going to be Hellfire for Sophia, the Buddha, that they will call upon destruction for themselves, that they will say, why would someone not come and kill me and destroy me? Right, they will wish that they wouldn't have been created at that time that the co founder was wish that they were dirt at
that time they wish they were dust. So all of these wishes will come out at that time, because they don't want to face the consequences of their actions. And this is why it's so important to understand this concept that if you want to look at goodness in this life, always look at the consequences of the action. You'll notice that with every action, there will be negative repercussions except when it comes to the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala Have you ever seen someone let's look at salata ledger you miss a lot of fudger the believer will regret not waking up or select ledger is a you know, I feel terrible insight. But has a believer ever said you know what?
shucks I woke up today, you know they regretted waking up. But you know it doesn't happen. Because when it comes to the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala there are no negative, there are no negative repercussions and negative consequences affiliated with it. And that is why the best action that can be done in this life is the act of eba just simply based upon the fact that there are no negative repercussions to it. Whereas everything else at one time or another it will have negative repercussions related to it. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala goes on to say well yes less than zero and then they will eventually be placed into the hellfire. So this year
Is the health bar. Now you'll notice that in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala. He describes the Hellfire in various ways, right? He'll call it by Johanna, which is the general blazing fire, then addabbo alene, which is a painful punishment, and then you'll find other names for it as well. And here, Allah subhanaw taala is a term that almost nobody uses to show that it is a place of evil and wickedness, meaning that it is a place that has no goodness in it, that you notice that even in this dunya you know, a place may look terrible, as long as it's clean, you can play there, you can pray there, and it'll become a place of goodness, right? Even uh, you know, we had this in Montreal a
lot, that we used to have clubs that were turned into masalas right. And we have churches that are turning diverse places, what was eighth and eighth before it became a masala resort
and interfaith office. Yeah, I remember a story that was like a church or something like that as well. So even like this very precarious place, there was a place where shooting was committed. And now you know, much less become a place where Allah subhana wa tada is worshiped alone that hamdulillah so the when you look at the Hellfire, that's not the case, because it is filled with destruction is filled with punishment is filled with pain, and there's no goodness that's going to come out at that time. In fact, when the scholars discussed, you know, what is the the greatest amount of good that can come out of the Hellfire, they're only able to come up with one thing, and
that those are the believers that are in the Hellfire that are being purified for their sins, that eventually they're going to be entered into paradise. So the purification of the sins was the only good that came out of it was everything else was evil, terrible and destruction in the hellfire. Then Allah subhanho wa Taala talks about how he was with his family in this dunya. So the believers Allah subhanho wa Taala he says that they will return to their family and happiness, whereas the people of Hellfire the people of destruction, Allah subhanaw taala describes him as in the hole canopy, I handed him a surah, that while he was with his family, and this life, he was living a life
of joy, he was living a life of, you know, pleasure, he was living a life of delusion, more than anything else, the delusion of happiness. So here, Allah subhanaw taala, again, brings about that concept of family, that your family, if it is used properly, it can be a means of paradise for you. If it is not used properly, then it becomes a means of punishment and persecution for you in the hereafter. And that is what almost monetary describes them that in this world, they might have seemed happy. But in the end, that's not going to be the case. In the end, they're going to be fleeing from one another on the Day of Judgment. And in the here in jahannam. It's going to be like,
you know, each one is suffering their own punishment. There's no time for family at that time, whereas the only families that will come together will be the families of Paradise, the families that worship Allah subhanaw taala together in the hood on a nine year old, that barely he thought he would never return to Allah subhana wa Tada. So here Allah subhanaw taala gives us that indication that if you want to look at an individual who's making smarter decisions versus bad decisions, one of the key characteristics you'll find in them is that how much do they contemplate returning to Allah subhanaw taala that if they truly understood the value of turning back to Allah subhanho wa
Taala and how they will eventually return to Allah subhanho wa Taala an individual would never let a good deed escape him and they would never let you know that they would never define the time or place to do a bad deed because they realize that they'd be in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is why you know, no time, Rahim Allah when he describes the all sorts of the people who disobey Allah subhanaw taala he says they are the most ignorant of people at that time, that even in the island when he disobeys Allah subhanho wa Taala he becomes ignorant at that time. Why? Because if he truly knew who Allah subhana wa Taala was and his greatness and the pleasures that Allah subhanaw
taala is prepared in Paradise and the punishment Allah prepared in the Hellfire, he would spend his entire life obeying Allah subhanho wa Taala and try to stay as far away as possible from the disobedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala. But in order to who cannot be basura that Verily, Allah subhanho wa Taala sees and saw everything that he used to do. So again, the same concept of being cognitive of Allah subhanaw taala that when you are living your life on a daily basis, how many times do you think that Allah subhanaw taala is watching me right now. This is something to ponder and contemplate that if you're looking at a way to increase your mind, you know, put random
reminders everywhere in your house in your work that Allah subhanaw taala is watching you. And notice how you change up. And this you can see so many examples of this. Look at the time when you're writing an exam and the invigilator walks by you. Even though you're not cheating, you're not doing anything wrong. All of a sudden your back was straighten up, your eyes will focus down. I want you to think about when you're driving by
The highway you see a cop on the side of the road, even though you're not going to be speeding, you're going to check your speed, you're going to make sure you have your seatbelt on because you become cognitive of that greater authority. Similarly, if people were to become conscious of Allah subhanaw taala and realize that Allah subhanaw taala is watching everything that they do, they would improve drastically in terms of their good and bad deeds. Now Allah subhanaw taala changes the tone of the surah and starts talking about his the signs that Allah subhanaw taala is placed inside of the creation. Now Allah subhanaw taala instead of beginning the beginning of starting the suta by
taking an oath, Allah subhanaw taala takes an oath in the middle of the surah for that will be shafique that Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, and now I swear by the afterglow of the sunset, so if you've seen the beautiful sunset, you'll notice that once the sun has set, there's this beautiful red line in the sky. This is the Shotokan Atma that Allah subhanaw taala is referring to in the surah. Now let's find out that goes on to Step number two will lelee one hour suck, and the night when it's darkness becomes the together. So after this redness disappears, you'll notice that there is a slight whiteness, and then after the whiteness is absolutely pitched dark. Then Allah subhanaw
taala goes on to say, while comedy is a toss up, and the moon when it becomes full. So you'll notice that the cycle of the moon when it's smack bang in the middle, that's when you have a full moon, it's the middle of the month, it's a clear indication that it is the middle of the month. Now why does Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned these phases, the phase of the night that you see the redness in the sky, then you see complete darkness, and then Allah subhanaw taala talks about the full moon, why is Allah subhanho wa Taala swearing by these cycles, he goes on to tell us the third kabuna tabaka nanpa buck, so doable. Qasim comes over here the answer to the oath that similarly like the
knight has its cycle. Similarly, like the moon has its cycle, you all mankind have your own cycle as well, the third carbon fabric and on top of that, you shall certainly travel from one stage to the next. So for all human beings, Allah subhanaw taala, all of us were created as babies, we used to what our parents we used to dirty our diapers, we used to do this for food. This is the way Allah created us. We grew up a bit more, we learned how to walk, we learned how to talk, we grew stronger, Allah subhanho wa Taala gave us the ability to work, we grow a bit older now. And this is when we start becoming weaker. Again, perhaps our cognitive abilities are decreasing, we get a bit older,
now our bone starts to weaken, they're not as strong anymore. And then you become the last stages of your life. You're just like a baby again, you can't go to the bathroom by yourself, you can't walk by yourself constantly in need of help. These are the cycles that Allah subhanaw taala has created. And every single human being goes through this cycle, there isn't a human being that is escaped to the cycle, that if you're a human being, you will go through this. And this is a sign of reflection for us that almost no data is created. All of these signs are amongst us, when we take the time to reflect on it. And this is why it is the of the utmost importance that as a Muslim, particularly in
the West, that you take some time, just to distance yourself from the whole world. And just reflect. So this will mean you turn off your phone, you know, leave it at home, and you disconnect from everything and you just come in too much to go to a quiet and silent place. And just reflect on the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala whether it be the stars in the sky, whether it be a sunset, whether it be a sunrise, whether it just be the trees and the ocean, whatever it is, reflecting on the signs of Allah subhanho wa Taala because everything that has Allah has created is an indication of his greatness. And when you stop noticing these signs, that is when you start noticing the
greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And that is why this is like one of the problems of living in urban societies, that when you look at our lifestyles, we're completely distanced from nature. Now where does milk come from? It comes from the, from, from the cartoons, where does the water come from? It comes from the tap, right? Where does the food come from? It comes from the grocery store, completely disconnected from nature altogether. Whereas if you saw these processes firsthand, then you'll notice that all of this had to be from Allah subhanho wa Taala. So Allah subhanaw taala gives us job custom, that just like these things went through their phases, then you too will go through
your phases as well. So now after Allah subhanaw taala has made this clear, he says for my new home let me know that what is wrong with the people that they don't believe that Allah has placed all of these signs, why will you not reflect Why will you not believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala
What is it that is preventing you and holding you back after all of these signs? Whether cordiali milk or I know that is to do and that when the Quran is recited to them, they do not prostrate to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
Now, this is a verse of frustration. This is a verse of frustration. So reverse let us look at the verse itself. Then we'll talk about the look of the frustration itself. Looking at this verse, Allah subhana wa tada he tells us with our curiosity, he will know that when the Quran is recited to them, then they do not prostrate and bow down to Allah subhanho wa Taala. The general theme behind this verse is that Allah subhanho wa Taala is saying that mankind is ever disobedient, particularly the disbelievers. Then the specific of this verse is that Allah subhanho wa Taala. He tests the believers with the prostrations in the Koran, that is a sign of your obedience to Allah subhanho wa
Taala is that when the verse of frustration comes, will the bow down and prostrate to Allah? subhanho wa Taala Will you put your ego aside? Will you put your arrogance aside? Will you put what you think to be your personal greatness aside and bow down to the one that created you from nothing. That is what Allah subhanaw taala is telling us in the verse and this will be from the greatest of science, that if you want to look at a sign of a true disbeliever he is the one that will be too arrogant to bow down to Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now, let us talk about some of the book related to this. First of all number of verses in the Koran that have prostrations in them. If you were to look
at
the Quran from the mode of recitations. I'm not sure how many frustrations there are. But if you look at the recitation that we follow, which is Hopsin Asim, you will find a difference of opinion between the scholars, the majority of scholars said that there are 14 verses of prostration in the Quran, the chef a might have said no there are 15 verses of frustration in the Quran and the added a verse in total Hajj in so instead of one question, instead of them heights, you will have to according to the sheffey method. Now, what is the ruling on during the semester of tilava and that is the prostration of recitation of the Quran. According to the majority of scholars, it is
something which is recommended to do so. And it is not something compulsory. is one required to have VUDU when they do search the to tilava the answer to that is no you're not required to have to do it is encouraged to do so. So even if a person is in a state where they don't have to search the telecoms, you can perform the search the tilava without today, however, it is encouraged that you should have to do when you recite the Quran, whether it be from memory or even when you're touching the Quran. Number three Do we have to make the Kabira when you're going into such that so in Salah when you're going down for the tequila, you say Allahu Akbar and you go down into such in such a
dilemma, it is not compulsory to do so, but it is encouraged to do so that when you bow down, you bow down to the sink of Allahu Akbar that Allah is the Greatest magnifying the reason why you're bowing down to Allah subhanho wa Taala.
What should be said inside the subject the thilawa the scholars different over here, one is that it is sufficient to say Subhanallah either it is just sufficient, your system cannot be an either, and you don't have to say anything else. A second group of scholars said no, you should say Subhana Allah Allah and then add on one of the doors that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us. So if you have histol Muslim, you will see that there are three or four doors that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to make when doing such a tilava any one of them is permissible, but the absolute minimum you should be doing is at least saying Subhana Allah Bian
and so now, if a person is in Salah, does the ruling change that when such as the till our comes? And the answer is no, that the ruling is still the same but it's up to the Imam or the person prank do they want to perform such at that level, it's a very good thing to do. So However, if you choose not to do so, that is fine, as well. The last thing I'll mentioned can search the to to our be delayed. So for example, you listen to Korean in your car, you're driving on the highway, you know you shouldn't perform searches on your steering wheel at that time positively caused an accident or anything like that. But rather when the time comes when you pull over when you get home you can make
such that that time if you choose and like to do so well Lahu to Allah Allah. So that's a brief look behind such a tutorial. Now let us conclude with what Allah subhanaw taala says, but in levena cafaro you can be born but you have a question after the halaqa inshallah.
Yes,
we just discussed this right.
Right. And I just mentioned the very last time
point I mentioned is that sensitivity Lauer can be delayed. That was the very last thing I said.
love us inshallah died. So Allah subhanho wa Taala he goes on to say but Allah Dena cafaro you can't the bone, but rather it is the people who disbelieve that deny. So now you catch the bone can be interpreted as that they're perpetual liars. Someone that frequently lies is called a cat that comes from the same root word. But here when Allah subhanaw taala is saying you can be born it means that they deny what are they denying the signs of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So everything that Allah subhanaw taala previously mentioned, they don't attribute it to Allah subhana wa Tada. And number two, they're denying the greatness of the Koran, that this Quran cannot be denied that it came from
Allah subhanho wa Taala in its perfect nature in terms of how it's composed grammatically and it's in its pros and in its beauty, as well as the knowledge that is in it of the future of the Day of Judgment of silence itself. All this cannot be denied except that it is from Allah subhana wa tada himself. So here Allah subhanaw taala says that another sign of Cofer or disbelief is that they will deny the signs of Allah subhanaw taala particularly the Quran will not be your own. And Allah subhanho wa Taala knows best what they use together. What this is referring to in terms of gathering is in terms of good and bad deeds. So unless I know what Allah knows best what the disbelievers were
busy gathering, in terms of the bad deeds, so everything that they plotted and plants, particularly against the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam remembering that this is a murky surah all the things that they were planning to do, Allah subhanho wa Taala was well aware of all of it. And now this is the interesting part. You look at the conclusion of the sutra, Allah subhanho wa Taala goes on to say her Bashir Han be added in a name, that these disbelievers give them the glad tidings of the punishment of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And, you know, I had an interesting conversation today. I was at sait. And I was meeting, I met a brother, who's on the basketball team at CIT. And he was
telling me about the difficulties that he has on the basketball team, that every time they go out on the road to travel for their games, the guys are like, Hey, you know, why don't you come on in party? Why don't you come on in club? Why don't you come out to the bar to celebrate after? And he's like, I'm Muslim, I can't do that. So he's like, you know, how do I handle the situation, they call me weird. They call me all the sorts of stuff. And I was like, You will only feel bad. If you let them make you feel bad, that you can just easily turn the tables on them say, you know, Alhamdulillah, that I'm not the one that needs to get drunk to have a good time. I'm not the one
that needs to get drunk to get rid of my problems. You turn the table like that. And I'm like, Whoa, you know, it's a completely different ballgame. So it's purely about how you react. So when it comes to, you know, the lifestyle of the kuffaar a lot of times you'll think they're having a good time. Lego is all fantastic for them. You know, give them the glad tidings of Allah that Allah has prepared the Hellfire for you. Right. Now, obviously, you don't go to random confided in the artwork in school. And okay, you know, let's promise you the hellfire. No, that's not the case. But I'm just saying when you're in that situation, when you're thinking, you know, how come their life is so
joyous, I don't have any problems. Sorry, they don't have any problems in their lives, I have so many problems. Their biggest problem is going to be avoiding them in the hereafter and within nights are your greatest ease. Your greatest consequences also going to be waiting for you in the hereafter which is going to be Jenna be the lucky to Allah. So Allah subhanaw taala says that all those people that were planning and plotting Allah subhanaw taala turns the table on them, that let them plan and plot let them you know, think about how they're going to destroy Islam, Allah slander that clearly says, Give them the glad tidings of the hellfire. And there was discussion, there's nothing more to
say after that. And then Allah subhanaw taala concludes the suta by saying in the levena ama no hamilo saw they had no home around noon, that the exception for from this of giving glad tidings of the Hellfire is only given to those people, and those people are the people who believe and do righteous deeds, then they will have a reward that never diminishes or reward that never diminishes. And this is a very interesting concept to look at. Then in this dunya if you look at any type of reward, it will always come to an end. You know, whether it be your salaries, whether it be you know, anything that you can think of any type of reward that one human can give to another, it will
eventually diminish and deplete, right. There's no such thing as an infinite amount of reward in this life. Whereas in the Hereafter, it's infinity, right? You mean as human beings you can't even contemplate infinity. But contemplate this that Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us that on the day of Friday, all the believers will go out to the marketplace of Jannah and each week, they will come back home more beautiful. How can you come back home more beautiful each and every week? And this dunya is not possible. But in the hereafter Anything is possible, right? So this is why Allah subhanaw taala says they will have a reward
That never depletes that never diminishes, it just increases. And this is for the people who do righteous deeds and have faith in Allah subhanho wa Taala. So now when we started off this sutra, I mentioned that there's a very strong relationship between the beginning of the sutra and the end of the surah. Anyone want to point that out? What is the strong relationship between the beginning of the surah and the ending of the song? Go ahead, are you?
Okay, so events of the hereafter. That's a very literal interpretation. But good, that's still a correct answer. Go ahead.
How we are
I don't know where the flow of thoughts was going. But the beginning is for the believers and the disbelievers in a semi when Schuchat when the when the sky splits apart, the believers and disbelievers are going to be seeing that but good attempt for tranq Anyone else want to give it a shot? I gave you guys a big hit in the middle of the soda. Go ahead.
try his best to
show you what half of the answer you got half of the answer. We're looking for the first half. That was the second half. Anyone want to give it a shot in one shot when the sky tears apart? What are the net lira behind wahaca and it hurt it's Lord and it obeyed right away and it was the right of Allah subhanaw taala that he be obeyed. Go ahead.
Fantastic so you hit it in the middle of your sentence and that was the need to obey Allah subhanho wa Taala so here the skies were ripped apart out of obedience to Allah subhanaw taala the earth was flattened and expelled everything that was inside of it out of the obedience to Allah subhana wa Tada. So let's find out what Allah He tells us in the sutra, obedience to Allah subhanho wa Taala can either be optional in this dunya and you receive a good reward in the Hereafter, or it can be ignored in this dunya and then you get a severe punishment in the hereafter. And that is the relationship between the two. Then out of all of the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala the only
one that will choose not to be disobedient will choose not to be our last panel to Allah or the mankind engine was all the rest of the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala will hastin to obey Allah subhanho wa Taala and the more one Hastings to obey Allah subhanho wa Taala The greater the reward with Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is where the concept of a man and the concept of amyloid solid comes into play with the great reward that will never diminish.
We're going to open up for for question answers inshallah. So that is how it ties into the sutra. Now reminding ourselves of the pivotal point in the sutra is that in the cacao, Gianni Rebecca cotton from malarkey, that Muslim or cafe or young or old, all of us are on a journey to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. And this life is going to be a struggle, it's not going to be easy. So whatever you decide to do, it is going to be a struggle. But what you need to realize is that third part that you're going to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala and you need to have something to present Allah subhanho wa Taala so I want you to think about this particular verse. And sometime tonight a bit
Allah tala think of a deed that you want to say that Oh Allah, I did this deed purely to present to you. And this will be a deed that will be with the utmost sincerity that no one else will know about. with the utmost proficiency that will have no laziness, no procrastination, and it will be done to the best of your ability within the Tada. This can be something as simple as giving sadaqa praying to the gods for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. You know, deciding that you know what, I'm going to abandon something for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala whatever it is, that is the ultimate reminder preparing something to present Allah subhanho wa Taala. So that's something as an
assignment, perhaps, from the Salah, Tabitha hits Allah that you do by yourself, and you leave to you know, present to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And hopefully we all reap the rewards of it in the hereafter. Allahu taala. Adam was a lot more cinematic and in the Vietnam Mohamad. He was happy he was set up. Now we can open up the floor for questions. Go ahead.
Yes, no. Yep.
Yeah. So let's say you're sitting down and reading
from this position.
Yeah, so you just have to stand up. No, no, no, you can do it from the position that you're sitting in. You just say Allahu Akbar. And then you bow
Dynamic such the
good
in the state of Geneva, shake up advisor him Allah he was asked about the woman who is in a state of hate. And hate is when she's in her menstrual cycle. And this rulings of menstrual cycle in Geneva generally take the same woman. And she said in such a case, even the woman who is menstruating is allowed to do such at the T level. So Allah subhanaw taala knows best based upon that it would be permissible. Who is next? You ask the question, should it be one or two words that you use? It should be one or two, it should be one such. So it's only one says it's not too much this. Go ahead.
So brother in the back?
Is there anything from the sooner to show that it can be delayed? such as the tilava?
Not that I know offhand. I don't find any detail that shows that it can be delayed. But the general rule is that
when it comes to righteous deeds, there's unless there's a time shown for it, then there's flexibility in it. Right. So when it comes to any form of righteous deed, there's no set time to do it. Except for specific deeds. Wallace panatela has given us at times so fasting can only the fasting Ramadan can only be done on Ramadan. Hajj can only be done in those days of the ledger, right? VOD has to be prayed after the Sun reaches its zenith and starts to set. Right. So those have set times was all other acts of ibadah. The hustle is, is that it is masya that the time is is Lux for it. And Allah Subhana Allah knows best. So the answer is that we would need a delille to show
that it needs to be done at a particular time. When Allahu taala Neo, Yeah, go ahead.
I know. So this is the hokum of a vida,
de vida, photokey to homosassa. How do you do delille Adda toxicity v betokens cos mamajuana.
This is something that the scholars differ over. And unless panels Allah knows best, I didn't reach a conclusion on this. But the safer thing to do is definitely to face the Qibla while talana.
Right. So in that situation, it might be best to delay till the time where you can tell and Allah knows best on the hotel Ilana. Any other questions? Go ahead.
So is what that's what's that what those are, but I'm not sure what it's referring to, in some cases, is where, you know,
actually, I don't know how to put this in the perfect wording, but where unless panel data will be or where the the police officer said them will bow down to Allah subhana wa, Tada. Right, that's what it's generally referring to, or it can also be referring to where the beginning of the extraction from the earth will begin at that time, will now huhtala. But you'll find that there are so many places that claim to be an auto mashup, that you know, each Muslim country, they claim to have their own machine, while outside and good.
No, such as something which is recommended to do. So if you leave it off. There's no sin upon it. But I would say that any act of sooner, you want to make sure at least you do it at least once in your life, right? So try to do it at least once in your life, and try to do it as much as you can be the lights on Allahu taala. Now, here's one last thing that it didn't mention someone who's memorizing the Quran, right? So let's just say we're learning just, we're learning sort of in shock. We're repeating the same verse over and over again. Does that mean that each time I recite the verse I should do such at the T level? And the answer is no, that once you're done your memorization of
it, then you can do your search at the T level at that time. You don't have to do it each time you set the verse. We'll take one last question for the night. Todd, actually plus two questions. Go ahead. Your first just wondering in terms of
the scenario where
alternative interpretation about the state being out of humiliation or sadness that they don't want to receive it in front of everyone so your hand is behind their back?
So is there validity to that there is validity but it seems that narrations of the predecessors where they say that people will be bound by their necks and by their throats are explicit. So Allah subhanaw taala knows best
Even though there is room for interpretation, it would filter out such interpretations based upon those narrations or maharana. Last question.
No, so there's no Salaam, just such that you don't even have to get up as I was telling the brother. If you're sitting down reciting the Quran, straight from sitting down, you can go straight into such that by saying Allahu Akbar, you don't have to get up.
No, so getting up you will not say Allahu Akbar, you just go back to doing whatever you're doing at that time chum. Allahu taala will conclude with that panic a lot more become like a shadow under a satirical to be like just one quick announcement with the lights Allah. As you guys know on Sunday, the time will be changing will be going in our back and the time pressure will be changing as well. We're going to be fixing the time for a shirt for all of winter be the light Allah to 730 so the halaqa be the lights will pressure and we'll start right after a lot of the show which will be at 730. This will be till we conclude with rosamma we have six suitors left to conclude Usama and after
that, we'll be starting or sorry, continuing with Imam ne 40. Hadith. Three of them were done at Edmonton trail and the other night Allah will continue the rest over here inshallah Tada. Yep, one more which was a lot more cinematic than the Vienna Mohammed
