00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

			because this is what gives me real peace.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			I don't want this to disconnect from me.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			I don't want to be disconnect and that
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			video just quickly wanted to let you know
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Quran has been completed on Bayina TV. I
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:23
			want you to enjoy systematically studying the Quran
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			from the beginning all the way to the

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			Thank you.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			Once again everybody, Assalamu alaikum.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			This session I'm going to try to talk
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:11
			to you about
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			the
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			Arabic origins of the word kufr and the
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			word iman,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			and some interesting observations,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			involving that and that what what that can
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			do to inform us about what Allah is
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			saying in this ayah. So let's begin with
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			Kufr, because Allah says,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			Right? So we're gonna talk about Kufr a
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			little bit.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			The night or the blackness of the night.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			When a person does kufir of his
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			items, if I did kufr of this bag
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			or this phone, I stuck it in my
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			bag where you couldn't find it. I put
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			it deep inside a container,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			so it's in the in the black darkness
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			of the container.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			Right? That's actually the act of kufar.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			When a,
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:12
			a horse rider is wearing metal armor
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			but he's hiding the armor under regular clothes,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			he's doing kufr of the armor.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			He's hiding it.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			Every just like the the the night covered
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			something, meaning the darkness covered something, enveloped something,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			the the darkness did of
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			it. So an overshadowing darkness or putting something
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			in a hidden place. Everything that covers something
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			or everything that anything that hides something is
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			doing of it. So if you're hiding money
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			in your pocket, you're doing of that money.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			If you're hiding jewelry in a box, you're
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			doing kufr of that jewelry. You understand? That's
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			the original
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			literary meaning or the literal meaning of the
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			word
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			to cover something in its blackness, in its
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			darkness. Okay?
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			Now
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			When something is completely enveloped and none of
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			it shows,
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			none of it can be seen.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			And actually the covering here is something like
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			burying.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			And the kafir in Allah
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			is actually an example of that. So the
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			kafir of Allah is an example of someone
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			who puts something in the dark.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			Because a person like that, when they do
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			kufr,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			they are hiding in the darkness, deep within
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			themselves.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			They find some dark place within themselves
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			to hide what they know to be true
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			of the existence of God and his greatness,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01
			the seen and the unseen evidences. Meaning, they
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			see external evidence for God, they hide it.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			They feel the internal evidence for God, they
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			hide it. And that's what makes them a
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			kafir.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			Someone who buries the light of Allah that
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			Allah gave them deep inside them so that
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:14
			it keeps,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			you know, unseen.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			Waqad Zakar al Rahib. Rahib is a famous
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			scholar, Imam Rahib al Fahani,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			who wrote a Muft Adath gharib al Quran.
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:29
			Tough tough words in the Quran or strange
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			etymology in the Quran. So he talked about
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			the origins of words, some words in the
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			Quran, very famous dictionary of the Arabic language,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			classical work.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			Any connection to someone else, then they're doing
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			kufr of them.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			So one meaning was to hide something
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			deep and the other is I like, if
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			you and I are friends and that the
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			police show up, I don't know this guy.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			Then if I say, I don't know this
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			guy, I did kufar of you.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			I have no connection to this person. That's
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			called Tabari. And this is actually used in
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			the Quran in that meaning.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			On the day of judgement, disbelievers, what does
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			he say about them?
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			Then some of you will be doing kufr
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31
			of other people.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			You guys used to sin against Allah together,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			but on judgment day you're like, I don't
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			know this person.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			I have nothing to do with them.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			Ibrahim alayhi salaam
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			will tell his people, I do kufr of
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			all the shirk you do, meaning I disconnect
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			myself. I have nothing to do with the
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			shirk you do. In fact, he even said
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			this to his people along with some of
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			his few followers.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			He said, We do kufra of you, meaning
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			we disconnect ourselves from you. So there's disconnect,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			denial, and there's hiding, concealing. Those are the
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			two meanings so far.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			So that's just an something I already explained
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			to you. Okay.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			And this is also why Kufr is used
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			for someone who denies the either the existence
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			of God
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			or the existence of the evidence of Allah
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			being the one true God.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			They deny those things because they are hiding
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			them deep within themselves.
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			And from it comes kafaraniemah
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			or wakafaraniemahtullah,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			jahadaha.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			When kufraan is used in one more way
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			and that is to be ungrateful.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			To be ungrateful. And let me tell you
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			why this meaning came about.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			If I deny you
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			and I hide something let me put this
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			together in a story. You did a lot
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			of favors for me. You did everything to
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			help me. You helped me with my exams.
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			You helped me get a job and all
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			of that stuff. And all of a sudden,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			I act like I don't even know you
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			and you've done nothing for me, and I
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			hide all the favors you did for me.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			I put them away in a dark place
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			where I deny them, and I don't let
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			anybody else see them either. And then I
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			act like I don't know you at all.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			Right? This is the height of ingratitude.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			You're disconnecting from the one who did favors
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29
			to you, and you are absolutely hiding, concealing
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			all of the favors that were done to
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			you even though you know they were done
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			to you, but you're not even acknowledging it.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			Right? There are people in your life that
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			you will find that do good for you
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:41
			pretty good.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			Right? You do a lot for them and
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			then they turn around and say, You? Do
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			something for me?
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			What did you ever do for me?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			No. All you ever did was cause me
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			pain. How did I cause you pain? By
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:55
			existing.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			Right?
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			So they're doing complete this is kufran and
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:01
			niyama,
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			the denial of the favor. That's why the
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			simpler meaning is ingratitude,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			But it's actually an entire elaborate story
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:09
			of ingratitude.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			By the way, if
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			you go out of your way
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			to disconnect
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:17
			from someone who's done good to you
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:19
			and you go out of the way, you
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			gotta constantly reject the favor that was done.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			Right?
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			Like they let's say they bought you a
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:25
			car.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Right? And now you're hiding the fact that
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			they you can't hide the car, but you're
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			hiding the the papers, the record, all of
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			that. You're never telling anybody about it because
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			you want to stay hidden, right?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			And you don't want anything to do with
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			that person who gave you the car, etcetera,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:39
			etcetera.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:42
			But every time you get in the car,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			what do you feel?
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			A little bit dirty on the inside?
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			A little bit? And if somebody doesn't even
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			know the story and they get in the
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			car. Hey, nice car. When did you get
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			it?
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:53
			What happens?
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			I don't know. I just I
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			just bought it.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			And every time you have to lie about
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			that, what happens inside you? A disturbance
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			An irritation.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			And if somebody comes along that actually knows,
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			Hey, I remember your brother got you that
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			car, right?
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			What happens then?
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			Why does this person exist?
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			How does someone still know I hate it
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			when someone reminds me?
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			Because I'd like to keep all of that
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			what?
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			Hidden. And then on top of all of
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			that, if you actually if your brother came
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			by
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			Who actually gave you the car?
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			She was like, oh, I see this face
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			and you're in his car too at the
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:35
			time.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			I Just burns a little extra
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			Right? What I'm trying to get at is
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			there's a kinaya here. There's an implication here.
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			And the implication is the one who does
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:46
			kufr
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			is working so hard to keep it concealed
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			and working so hard to reject
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			that they actually live kind of paranoid.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			They're on edge. They're not at peace.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			You I want you to keep that that
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			conception in mind. Okay? Now
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			and the kufr of a blessing or kufr
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			of a favor is to hide it, and
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			by not doing any gratitude towards it.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			Allah talks about believers that their efforts will
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			never be unappreciated.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			Gets used more for ingratitude.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			Kufran gets
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			used for more denial. Remember there were 2
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:33
			components,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			denying and then, ingratitude?
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			So the ingratitude
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			is Kufran,
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40
			and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			the denial and the hiding is kufr.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			But then there's one more word that combines
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			both of them, and that is kafur
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			or kafoor rather.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			So the word kafoor is both
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			denying
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			and ingratitude. But when it's used as a
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			verb, both meanings can exist. Okay.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			Now
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			That's why in the Quran, kufr comes as
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			an opposite of iman. Iman means what?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:16
			Faith and the rejection of it, the denial
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			of it, the concealing of it, that's kufr.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			But kufr also comes as an antonym of
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			shukr.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			So Allah says
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27
			Right? So
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			Right? So gratitude and kufr also come as
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			antonyms. So it has 2 opposites.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			1 is belief
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			and the other is gratitude,
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			which is really amazing. Look at how words
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			connect in the Surah, how everything is woven
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			together. You found in the previous ayah, Lahul
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:52
			Hamd.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			Hamd belongs to Him.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			Gratitude belongs to Him. And the next ayah
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			says, among you are those that are ungrateful,
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			who reject that
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			Right? And then of course the other meaning
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			is those who reject the truth, and the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			opposite of that is kufr. So it works
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:13
			with both iman and both against hamd, the
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			word kafir here. It works with something that
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			came before, and it's working with something that's
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			coming right after.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			Okay.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			Now I just explained that one to you,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			so I got ahead of myself. Now let's
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			talk about Iman. So that was a little
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			bit about kufr. Now let's talk about Iman.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			Iman. A camel that is full,
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:36
			meaning
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38
			it's well it's it's
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			had enough to drink and it's confident and
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			it can go a long way.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			That would be a camel that is
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			It's called an Amun. So you can call
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			your sister that if you're gonna throw an
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			insult. Okay.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53
			This is where it gets interesting.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			From iman comes the word amana.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			What is amana? It is something that is
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			placed deep inside or placed somewhere safe so
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04
			you can guard it.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			What does that sound like? Kind of like
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			kufr, because what do you do in kufr?
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			You put something inside
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:13
			and now,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			an amana is something you put like a
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			trust is something if you're trusted with something,
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			you put it in a safe.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			You're trusted in something, you put it in
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			a secure place, right?
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			Now listen to this. Remember what I told
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			you? When somebody has kufr, are they in
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			a state of peace or a state of
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			anxiety?
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			Anxiety. For reasons I described, right? Now look
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			at iman. Iman is associated with the word
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			Amin. And it is the opposite of fear
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			and anxiety.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:51
			As if the one who has amen, the
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			amen, is safe inside of a secure fort.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			Or a person's heart is completely filled with
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			something that satisfies them.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			They've someone who is is someone who feels
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:08
			completely safe and secure and calm and at
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:12
			ease. There's a direct contrast. There's one container
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			that is deep inside that's causing anxiety
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			and another container, something's deep inside and it's
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:18
			causing what?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			Calm and contentment and safety and security.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			Allah offered safety against
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27
			fear.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Are you feeling safe from the 1 in
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:30
			the sky?
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			When sleep took over you as a way
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			of making you feel safe, Allah says,
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:41
			and this
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:45
			it also is the opposite of Al Qiyana.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:47
			Al Qiyana means dishonesty.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			Now what does dishonesty remind you of? The
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			story I described about kufr.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			Here you are receiving the car, hiding the
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			paperwork, denying that the person did you a
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			favor, all of that is an expression of
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			isn't it?
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			So in a sense,
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			iman is about honesty
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			and safety and security
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			and securing something. And kufr is also about
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			securing something, but securing something using dishonesty,
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			ingratitude, rejection of truth, etcetera.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			They're both securing.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			They're both securing but the the consequences are
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			entirely different and the intentions are entirely different.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			Well the word is used
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			for the guardian.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			Amin is someone who will keep something safe.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			Like Allah says,
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			1 of the names of Allah is Al
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			Mu'min
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:42
			it's one of the names of Allah. What
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			does it mean? The one who guards his
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			slaves and gives them safety.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:56
			The one who secures them with anything that
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:57
			may take away their safety.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			That's why iman
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:07
			from the same origin is used when you
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			accept something and you put it deep inside
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:12
			the container in your heart where it gives
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:12
			you security
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			and calms you and you're at rest and
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			at peace with it. You're not disturbed by
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			what is inside you. In fact, the opposite,
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			it gives you safety and security.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			And that's what Iman is. Now what's interesting
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			about Iman, the word Iman, is it's both
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			and
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			Often we don't discuss this concept.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			Means I'm feeling safe.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			Means I'm giving safety to others. The word
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			is used for the believer,
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:43
			which means the believer is in safety because
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:45
			their heart has iman inside it. But the
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			word is also used for Allah, but it's
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			not used because Allah himself has safety for
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			himself, it's because Allah gives safety.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			He gives safety. Now this is the exact
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			opposite of
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			because the one who is hiding something in
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			does not want to tell anybody what he's
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			hiding.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			But the one who has the safety, the
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			one who has iman, who is
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:08
			with iman, wants to give this safety to
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			others. They want to actually share this safety
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:14
			with others. They want others to feel
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			this feeling that they're feeling.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Look at the linguistic this is we're not
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			even looking at tafsir right now. We're just
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			looking at the Arabic
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			etymology
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			of
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:25
			this
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:26
			word.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:29
			Actually means conviction with confidence.
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			To be sure of something, to be confident
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:32
			about something.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			And actually while you're confident, you show humility
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			which is really cool. You would think the
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			people that are super confident are also super
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			arrogant. Actually the people that are super duper
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			confident
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:47
			are humble.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			The height of confidence is what?
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			Humility. Guys sorry for the interruption in the
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			middle of this lecture.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			Just before you continue, I wanna let you
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:59
			know and encourage you that I want you
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			to sign up for bayonetv.com
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			and help others sign up or even sponsor
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:03
			students for bayonetv.com
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			so we can create worldwide communities of students
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			that are studying the meanings and the benefit
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			and the wisdom of the Quran,
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			and are spreading that in their own circles.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			Thanks so much. To give you an example
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			this is used in Arabic poetry.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			You know,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			you have the lion
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			sitting there
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			humbled its legs paws pawed out and there's
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			a dog barking
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			and what is a lion doing?
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:31
			Nothing.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:33
			It's living the dog bite. The dog's like,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			and
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			then the last thing, I ain't gonna roar.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			You're gonna die. It's okay. I don't have
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:39
			to flex.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			You know what that is an expression of?
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:44
			Way too much confidence
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			There's so much confidence that you don't even
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:48
			have to show
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			your power.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			You can just remain in your humble silent
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:54
			state and it speaks for itself.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			You understand?
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:57
			Those of you that are in the world
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			of business, in the world of medicine, the
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			world of tech, whatever specialization you're in,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			sometimes you meet a super expert in your
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:04
			field.
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			Someone who's really accomplished in their space.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			You know what you notice about those people?
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			They don't talk much.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			And then you meet someone who hasn't accomplished
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:17
			months but they really wanna impress you. And
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			what do you notice about them?
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			They talk a lot.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:25
			So the truly confident are actually humble
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			and the not so confident are very
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:29
			verbal,
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			very vocal.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			Right? And then you can tell
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			you can tell who's who's what. You could
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			just read the room and tell who knows
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			what. So what if harul kudur
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			That you're in your even from a spiritual
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			sense when we accept the commandments of Allah,
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			the deen of Allah, the the belief system
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			that Allah has given us, and it has
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			settled in our hearts and our hearts are
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			filled with it.
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			Okay. Now
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			Allah says,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			He believes or he listens to the believers,
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:17
			meaning
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			he the Prophet listens to the believers and
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			accepts what they're saying.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:23
			He accepts,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:24
			you know,
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:27
			without skepticism what they're saying. Like believers would
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			come and tell the Prophet something
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			and instead of saying, I'm not sure what
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			you're talking about. He would completely,
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			wholeheartedly
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:35
			accept what they're saying.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Is also
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:40
			is also when somebody says something to you,
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			you completely and openly accept it. And that's
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:44
			our relationship with Allah. Allah says it, we
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			have no skepticism. We accept it immediately. That's
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			a state of comfort that we have with
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Allah Azza wa Jal's words.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:50
			Okay.
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			Oh, by the way,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			here's a word we say at the end
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			of the Fatihah.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:59
			What do we say?
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			Ameen Bilmad
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:01
			Bilmad
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:05
			Wa Amin Bil Qasr Ma'anahu Allahum Mastajib AAitakabbal
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			Fahi Amin Al Asr This word actually means
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			O Allah accept,
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			but it also actually means You Allah give
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			tranquility into my heart.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			Give me the calm
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			bring the Amin in,
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:19
			You know, all I accept.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			So just a few more notes because, you
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			know, I just had to do this with
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:26
			Iman. It deserves it.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			The origin of the word amin is when
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			a person feels deeply content within,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			satisfied within, and their fears and anxieties have
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			gone away.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			When a person is in a state of
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:46
			amun,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			meaning they're completely content, that state is called
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			amun.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:56
			Allah says about whoever comes into the haram
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:57
			for good intention,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			they are
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			How many people have gone to Hajj or
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:01
			Umrah ever?
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			Okay. The first time you went and the
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			first time you saw the Kaaba, there's something
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:06
			that took over you.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			There's a calm that came over you. There's
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			a feeling that came over you, perhaps a
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			feeling you've never really quite felt before and
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			that's something Allah promised about his haram. Whoever
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:18
			enters it, enters into the state of Amin.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			And those of us who Allah has not
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:23
			provided the risk and the gift of seeing
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			his haram yet, may Allah open that door
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			for all of you.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			Let the person who's thinking about Islam put
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			them in a place where they feel completely
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			safe so they can make that decision without
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:36
			any pressure. So
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			that's Okay. Last thing.
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			I think it's the last thing. Oh, yeah.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:43
			1 2 more things. Okay.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:47
			Iman
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			is actually to for the per the person
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			to accept the truth and actually declare that
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			they have they have accepted that truth.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			And this happens when 3 things come together.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			The heart is completely accepted something
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06
			and the tongue has accepted it.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			And the actions are in line with that.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:15
			When you're acting against your feelings, you feel
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:15
			a disturbance.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			When you're being kind to someone you hate,
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			it bothers you.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			Or when you're being mean to someone you
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			love, it bothers you inside.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			When your heart and your actions are in
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			contradiction, it creates a friction.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			It creates a dissonance inside you.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			Iman means being in a state of peace
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			and calm. I cannot be in a state
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			of calm unless my insides and my outsides
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:40
			are synced.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:44
			There's no contradiction between them. I'm not acting
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:45
			against my own beliefs.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			You know? There are people that I've met
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			that, like, have a sinful life,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			Muslims that have a sinful life. They're about
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			to walk into a club, but right before
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			they walk into a club, You Allah, I
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:57
			know this is bad. I'm really sorry. Okay?
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:59
			Like really really sorry.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			Okay. I gotta go. And then they go
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			inside.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:03
			You know?
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			And even though they could go inside and
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			they they'll they'll describe because I talk to
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			people like that. I wanna know what goes
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			on in their head. Right? They're like, so
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			what do you feel when you're in there?
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			It's like, I just turned it off. I
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			was like, turn what off? I was like,
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			turn turn my heart off.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			I just don't want to feel
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			because if I turn it on, I'm gonna
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			feel what horrible.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			I'm gonna feel terrible.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			And then when it's all done,
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			then sometime later, I can't even I I
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			I'd like to keep it off, but it
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			what happens to it?
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			It turns back on and I feel horrible.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			I feel really terrible about what I just
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			did.
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			You know?
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			And that's when, you know, even the Hadith
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:43
			of the Prophet
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:44
			you know,
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:46
			The
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:50
			thief,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			when when he's engaged in the act of
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			stealing, isn't actually a believer at the moment,
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			which is similar to what this gentleman will
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			tell me when he's walking into the club.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			What does he do? He turns his iman
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			off.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			He switches it off.
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			Let me not.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			Right? And then let me do this and
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			then let come back. And what is Iman
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			in the end?
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			I want I never wanna turn this off
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			because this is what gives me real peace.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			I don't want this to disconnect from me.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			I don't want to be disconnect and that
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			cannot happen unless the insides are inconsistency with
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:23
			the
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			outsides. Right? That's what Imam Rahib is telling
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			us. Okay?
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			Now both and have
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			something to do with storing something within. Did
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			you guys get that?
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			Okay. Kufr, burying, hiding, concealing something,
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			plus
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:41
			being ungrateful or denying any favor done, pronouncing
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:45
			disavowal.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			Who could be more wrong than someone who
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			hides testimony that they have from Allah? This
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			is what kufr is. Iman is containing something
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			within, like kufr.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			However, being safe, giving safety, and being at
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:00
			peace.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			So both you have something in, and one
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			is giving safety, and the other is not.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			Look at how Allah describes the situation with
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			iman. He says in Surat Al A'am,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			Which of the 2 groups deserves peace more,
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			if you have any new if if you
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:18
			if you know it all?
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:24
			Those who believed and didn't corrupt their belief
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:25
			with any wrongdoing.
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			In the next 3 minutes, I'm just gonna
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			share with you, I'll come actually I should
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			read all of this to you because I
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			don't want to skip anything.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			So this is classical commentary on this Iman
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			and Kufr, the in this ayah.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			What Allah means here is there are those
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			of you when they hear the truth, they
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			accept it. And
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			there are those of you when they hear
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:49
			the truth, they want to argue against
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			it. That's what he means by kafir.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			The one who argues against the truth when
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			it comes to them.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			This is the scary one.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			AbbaHaq said this ayah means among you are
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			those who openly look like they believe, but
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			actually secretly they are
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			disbelievers, like the
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			Or it can also mean those who on
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			the outside look like they disbelieve,
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			but actually on the inside they have already
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			believed.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			So it's not so
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			even the Haqq is recognizing
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			that this ayah is not about external iman
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			and external kufr, it's actually about internal iman
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			and internal kufr which is the real one.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			That's the real one. The outside one is
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			just for social purposes.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			But on judgment day, that won't mean anything.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			The only thing that will mean something is
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			the one that was inside. That's the real
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			one. And so he's saying there may be
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			someone who looks but
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			is and there may be someone who looks
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52
			but is
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:56
			you know, like Yasser Omar Ibn Yasir.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			There could be somebody who's being forced, but
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			their heart is content with Iman.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:05
			There may be a Hindu living in India
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			right now in a very extreme right wing
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			anti Muslim village where if anybody finds out
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			that they're Muslim, they'll get slaughtered.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:16
			So they're attending their temple worships with their
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:19
			mother and cousin and everybody else, but secretly
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			they go in a closet or in the
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			side of bathroom or somewhere pull a curtain
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			and make 2 rakah and they're doing that.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			Right? And on the outside they look like,
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:30
			Ah, these Hindus, these pagans, but Allah knows
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			that that person is a what?
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			Is a believer. They're a believer in Allah.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			They're just not in a situation
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			where they can openly declare their faith.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:39
			Right?
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			This is a narration.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			The Prophet
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49
			spoke to us 1 night.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:55
			And so he said, Some things that are
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			going to happen.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			The Prophet was talking about things that are
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			going to happen, and he said,
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			People have been brought to life, people have
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			been born in different categories.
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			There's a person who was born a believer
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			and was raised, lived the life of a
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			believer, and died a believer.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			A person is brought brought into a Kufar
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			society, born into a disbelieving society,
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			lives a disbeliever's life, dies a disbeliever.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			And a person may be born into a
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:33
			believing family,
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			lived as a believer, but died a disbeliever.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			And it could be a person who was
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			born in a disbelieving society,
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			lived a disbeliever's life, but died a believer.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			But this is again describing the internal state.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:54
			This is a hadith mentioned by Al Khortubi
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			in his tafsir of the Saia. And it's
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			Sahih Muslim.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			There could be a person who does things
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:06
			that look like the kind of things people
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			of Jannah do.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:10
			So he's doing heavenly good deeds
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12
			from what people can tell, but this person
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			belongs in the fire.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			And it may be someone who who does
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:24
			things that look like he's bound for *
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:26
			as far as people can tell, and he's
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			from the people of Jannah.
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:30
			Our scholars have said about this hadith
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			That's because Allah has eternal knowledge of what's
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			really going on with someone.
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			And Allah has real knowledge of their constraints,
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:44
			of what the real state of their hearts.
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			And so Allah will decide according to his
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:47
			perfect knowledge.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			Hey guys, you just watched a small clip
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:52
			of me explaining the Quran in-depth as part
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			of the deeper look series. Studying the Quran
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			in-depth can seem like a really intimidating thing
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:59
			that's only meant for scholars. Our job at
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:01
			Bayinah is to make deeper study of the
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			Quran accessible and easy for all of you.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:05
			So take us up on that challenge. Join
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			us for this study, the deeper look of
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:09
			the Quran, for this surah and many other
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:10
			surahs on bayinatv.com
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			under the deeper look section.
