24
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:26
			out of 23 actually 24 source a lot of even though I started from Iran number 22. And this seven sort
of the Quran in the beginning describes the story of Adam alayhis salaam, the Malaysian story has
been talked about or has been referenced in the Quran seven times.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:02:04
			And of those seven times these two, the one in Bukhara, and the one in RF are in detail. So the two
times that I mentioned the story in some detail are in the second and the seventh surah. And in both
of those he highlights different things about the story. So in this particular story, Allah
describes in detail how shaytan got to our parents to our mother and father other men who was Salam
ala, Hema, how did he get to them? And the dollar that's related to that is actually important to
understand first, how did they end up slipping to begin with, in Baccarat said as Allahumma
shaytaan. Allah, you know, the shaitaan made them slip. He caused them to slip from Allah's command.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:39
			And a slip is something when you're not careful. Right? So it's not something deliberate. It's
something it happens when you're not being careful. You're not watching your step. And that's the
idea behind that mistake, that it's actually what shaped on a human being has to be constantly
careful watching out how's he going to attack? What sneaky way is he going to approach in this sort
of allows him to describes fidella Houma Behold, the word Delaware in Arabic language is actually
used for a bucket. And a verb from it is to lure them now back in the day, you may have seen this in
cartoons, some of you that are old enough to watch old time cartoons, is you know, they're trying to
		
00:02:39 --> 00:03:13
			capture the animal. So they have a bucket and they've got some food in it, and they've got a rope
and they kind of slowly pull the bucket. And the animal kind of follows along little by little by
little, and you're trapping the animal by reeling it in using a trap that's actually called deadly
and Arabic. And that's from the word dog, which is bucket itself. Similarly, when you're, you know,
when buckets are dropped in a well, they don't just come up you have to little by little reel them
up, they don't just come up right away, you have to roll them up one motion at a time. Allah is
telling us that Shabbat when Allah azza wa jal had rejected him. And Adam and our mother and the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:47
			hymn of Salaam were in Jenna, the Shabbat didn't just come to them and say, Hey, that tree, come on,
do it. It wasn't like that. He lowered them little by little by little one step at a time. So that
one tiny step, they couldn't tell that he's actually calling them to disobey Allah, the first step
looked innocent. The second step didn't look that bad. And so when these little little steps happen,
then you don't realize what's actually going on until it's too late. And that's his strategy to get
you. You know, sometimes he'll make you do something wrong, but he won't just say do the harm,
you'll say, I mean, come on what's so bad about one little, I mean, it's just a phone call. It's
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:58
			just this is a haram to anything. Now that's not, that's not so bad. So I guess that's okay. And
then you take a little step, and then another little step and then another little step, you know,
in,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:38
			in in psychology one time our professor showed us this weird video of two frogs, right, and they
have this this puddle of water and one of the puddles of water is really hot. And they throw the
frog in, it jumps out right away. It can't tolerate the heat it, it pops out right away. And they
take this other frog and they sit it in this puddle of water, which is normal temperature, but they
heat it slowly. Right and the water keeps getting hotter and the frogs not realizing it until
actually the frog dies. It gets so hot, it kills him, but he didn't realize it. It was a slow death.
without all of his resect reflexes were adult because it wasn't an immediate reaction. He wasn't
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:59
			called the he wasn't alerted right away. And that's actually how Allah describes the strategy of
shavon in these IOD for de la Houma boo boo, and finally when he did make them slip a lot so we just
made them realize that they've done something wrong right away and this is not a dose about the
story because that will take a very long time about this idea but I want to get to the door. But in
order to get to the door, I The important thing to know
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			is when we do something wrong. Sometimes we don't get punished right away, or we don't see the alarm
go off right away. You know, I was in high school, I used to work in a clothing store. And clothes
used to have it in like junction Boulevard in the Spanish neighborhood in New York City. Everybody
spoke Spanish, everybody was either Puerto Rican or Dominican. But you know, the clothes, all of
them had this alarm thing on it, you have to have a magnet thing to take it off. And if you walk out
of the store without taking off ddddd alarm goes off right away, right? You you'll know something's
wrong. There are some things you do that the alarm goes off right away. But most of the time when we
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:09
			do something wrong, is there any consequence right away? No, there's no consequence. Nobody knows
you, you don't even realize you're doing something wrong at the time. Maybe your conscience hits you
the next day, hours later. But at the moment, even if you feel bad, it's not like you got punished
or caught immediately. When one of us lies. It's not like our tongue starts burning. When one of us
looks at something wrong, it doesn't feel like our eyes don't get an allergic reaction doesn't work.
That way. If somebody steals their hand doesn't go paralyzed for a few hours. That doesn't work. But
with Adam and his Salaam when he ate from that tree, and our mother together when they it's
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:46
			important when they both ate from that tree, then immediately remove their clothes, immediately
remove their clothes. And this is important because some mistakes we make, we don't get caught right
away. We don't get punished right away. We don't get disciplined right away. We don't see the impact
of those events right away. But with our parents, as soon as they made the mistake, Allah made them
see the consequences of that action immediately. And they start covering themselves with leaves with
a few clicks. If any other human working from the leaves of gender, they start covering themselves
because they're humiliated. They're embarrassed. And so as they start doing that, Allah start
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:27
			speaking to them, and says, didn't I didn't I stop you from this one tree. And I'm Anil Kumar and
telco Mashallah did not prevent you from going near that tree. And it's not having his shadow here.
It still Kuma shadow telcos for a smallish alibi, something that's far away. The idea being there
are endless trees in Ghana, endless trees in Ghana, how many trees or how long? One Tree, you have
all these trees of all these fruits, and all this provision, holiday nefa or holiday naevia in this
case, and they can go wherever they want. But that's that one tree that eliminate Harmon somehow
shaitan little by little by little, got them first in the neighborhood of that haram tree. And then
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:44
			a little bit closer in the shade of that Hassan tree and eventually to the fruit of that, like it's,
it's a step by step process to get you there. In other words, shaitan will make you bypass so many
huddle options to get you to the 100 option he wants. You know, Allah has opened up a lot of hollow
roads.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:08:24
			And shaitaan wants you to skip the halaal and go for the Haram and he'll make you overlook the halau
possibilities that are in front of you. And so when he got there allows me to question them, how
could you do this and, you know, did not prevent you from doing this? And so long as he says, and it
didn't I tell you shaytan is obviously an enemy to you. We'll see the thing is the I began which had
been tricking them but it wasn't obvious. But at the end, Allah says Didn't I tell you shaytan is an
obvious enemy. So there's an opposite as a contrast, Chet are not being obvious to us, because he
tricks slowly, small steps, or noticeable steps, the alarm doesn't go off. And Allah says Be clear,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:59
			he's obviously an enemy. You know what that means that other AlLahi Salaam and through him, his
children are being trained, there are some steps that shaitan makes you take that are not very
obvious, but you have to have the eyes to know that heading down the road. It may not be the
disobedience of Allah, but it's one step closer to the disobedience of Allah. It's two steps closer.
So if somebody questions me or and says, Hey, this is wrong, you can actually say no, I didn't
disobey Allah, you can actually get away with saying that. But your conscience will know you took a
step closer towards a less disobedience. And the only one who will know is you. Even if they were
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:32
			hundreds of miles away from that tree, and one day they were five miles away. And one day they were
two miles away. And one day they were 20 feet away. 10 feet away, they still weren't doing anything
wrong, even until one foot away. They're not doing something wrong. They can't be questioned. But
they're walking closer and closer into the gravitational force field of sin. And that's the
challenge for human beings. Human beings are very, we're very good at making excuses, until it's too
late. Now they see the consequences of their action and Allah does question them immediately. By the
way, does Allah do that to us? When we do something wrong? Does a lead immediately come in and say,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:10:00
			Did I tell you not to do that? And he discipline that doesn't happen in this world. We wait for
those consequences until the end. And I tell him Oussama until a time that's Allah, Allah has named
judgment day until then, but with them immediately the aside and while right then and there when
they saw that consequence, this is the dollar they made. robina Valentina and for Santa Elena. Elena
coonan Domingo Hasina, I'll take four more minutes. Our Master we did wrong to ourselves.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			We did wrong to ourselves in the previous ayah, who was scheming the whole time shutdown was they
don't bring up shutdown. They don't tell a lie. Allah shutdown got me. You're right. He's an enemy.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:32
			You know, he's an enemy. And he won this time. Nope. They immediately took responsibility for
themselves. They said, We both did wrong to ourselves. And they didn't even blame each other. They
didn't even say, you know, I wasn't going to do it. But she was like, Come on, let's try it a little
bit. Or, like, because you know, when you get caught when two people get caught when two kids get
caught, what do they do?
		
00:10:33 --> 00:11:09
			What they do, right? So when we get blamed, we say, Well, yeah, I messed up, but I'm, what about
you? And then the other one says, What about you, and we start pointing the finger at each other for
$1 fee ha, like so Takara describes the Israelites, when you committed a murder, you were pointing
the finger at each other instead of taking responsibility. Each of them takes responsibility for
themselves and says, we did wrong to ourselves. We admit our fault in this without pointing the
finger at the other. We're a little Filipina and if you don't cover for both of us, in other words,
I'm not just concerned about saving myself. I'm concerned about saving my family too. I'm concerned
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:40
			about their mistake, too. It's not just that I want to be clear with a lot they can go to *. No,
you're like we both need forgiveness. He's making the offer him he's making the offer her and
they're saying it in one voice. That's a very powerful thing. It's a very powerful thing for a
family to make dua for each other together, even though one of them or both of them have made a
mistake. What are happening if you don't show us love and care and mercy, we will absolutely be from
those that have been that have lost that have become losers. Now often it's misunderstood, that this
draw was taught to them after they came to the earth.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:12:09
			But actually, this drop they made while they were still in Ghana, immediately when they got caught.
And it is after that Allah says his veto Kala veto Babu calmly babina do come down from here you
will be enemies to each other. In other words, as soon as they made there are two a lot of forgive a
lot forgive them. Listen carefully, Allah forgive them while they were still were in Jannah. And
then Allah sent them to the earth meaning of life did not send them to the earth to punish them.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:42
			Allah did not send them to the earth to punish them that was already done with the mistake has been
made. The lesson has been taught is too far has been made. And when someone genuinely asks a lot for
forgiveness, we went through this before, then Allah has forgiven, that's done with Now Allah says,
Now you're ready for the earth now that you've made a mistake, and you've learned that mistakes will
get caught. And then you turn back to align forgiveness. Now that you understand this cycle, now
you're ready for life on this earth. And life on the earth will be more difficult because you'll
become enemies to each other. In other words, chatango be your enemy. But often men will become
		
00:12:42 --> 00:13:16
			woman's enemy woman will become man's enemy, you'll point the finger at each other, you won't be
like this, where you're genuinely asking a lot for forgiveness together, you won't be like that
anymore, you'll become more selfish. And so a little worn both of them that this is going to happen
if you don't watch out. This was the test. This this experiment in general is literally what it was.
It was a lab test. Before you get into the real field, this is the real field, you know, that wasn't
to trick them to be thrown into the earth and they're punished on the earth and we could have been
injured if they just didn't need that fruit, we would have been fine. No, that's the Christian
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:35
			version. or bronze version, Islamic version is not that they were not punished, punished and sent to
the earth. They were meant to come to the earth in the direction of the halifa. I've sent the halifa
on the earth. So the last thing I want to share with you about this is that sometimes Allah will
bring some difficulty to us in this life because of our sins
		
00:13:36 --> 00:14:11
			will huddle pasado albery Will you be my cassava idleness? Allah azza wa jal says For me, you know
masaba Kumasi but in for me my cassava ad comb. Allah says that, you know, Allah wants you to taste
some of the sins you've been done in this life, some consequence of it. And sometimes when a
calamity hits Allah says that's because of what you did with your own hands. There are some things
you did that are messed up and they lead to consequences. There are consequences for our actions.
I'm not saying one day you were bad to your mom, and the next day you slipped on a banana peel and
broke your leg. Those two things are connected. That's not what I'm saying. But I am saying there
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:46
			are sometimes consequences for our mistakes. But those are not punishments. Just like their clothes
being removed. And a lot questioning them was not a punishment. How could it possibly be a
punishment, there's still an agenda. That's just a teaching moment. That is a lot of teaching.
Sometimes teaching is done through discipline, those difficulties that we get in life, those are
special moments in which we have to turn to align say, we've done wrong to ourselves if you don't
cover for us, and if you don't forgive us, and if you don't show us love and mercy, then definitely
we become from those that are lost. In other words, if we didn't make that if we didn't turn to a
		
00:14:46 --> 00:15:00
			line acknowledge our mistake, then we would be ultimate losers. The last last last thing I know some
taking and taking long but this is important for for myself to remember and to remember. The big
difference between shaitan and Adam alayhis salaam is one thing the big difference
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:24
			between the two. Both of them made a mistake yes or no. Our parents made a mistake. shaitaan made a
mistake. They both disobeyed Eliza, which is true. But one of them after making the mistake and
after being told that's a mistake, Adam was told you made a mistake. My mother was told she made a
mistake, at least was told he made a mistake, same thing. But when he was told he made a mistake, he
started explaining why he did it.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:25
			I have reason.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:43
			It's logical. He's made of dirt. Why am I supposed to I'm better. It's not just arrogance. He's
offering a logical explanation. Adam alayhis salam could offer a logical explanation to he could in
other groups I've explained that but instead he says I did. I made a mistake.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:09
			Every time you and I make a mistake and we got caught, there's going to be an urge inside you let me
explain myself. Let me justify let me offer a rationale. Let me not admit, let me not just be just
admit to myself, I messed up your job I messed up. And remember that confession you have to make is
not tell other people it's to Allah. Bla bla bla bla and for Santa Nadia, you when
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:40
			you tell a lie, you messed up, you confess them you start you leave your excuses behind. And it is
only then that you're not from among the losers. And if you still hold on to the way of excuses,
that's the way of shaitaan he justifies his behavior. He offers excuses. Well, karma Avira Allah
says about human beings they keep on making excuses, allows you to prevent us from those that make
excuses. I'll promise I'll stick to my time limit and shallows out of them tomorrow. 10 to 1015
