Allah has now given the Prophet a directive.

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

What's the directive? These people, since they didn't

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

come with you to or

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

to this umra dream,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

As a result, they may not they are

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

not allowed to join you in battle.

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

Because it proves they're not willing to die

00:00:16 --> 00:00:16

on the battlefield.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:18

And if you're not willing willing to die

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

on the battlefield,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

you are a liability on the battlefield not

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

an asset. Because when things get difficult, what's

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

gonna be expected from these people?

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

Bayonatv.comforward/giftoday

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

00:00:45 --> 00:00:45

subscription.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

You can pay one time, cover a yearly

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

days of the year.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

Everyone,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:08

The

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

ayah now says the the the Quran is

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

now going to change the subject to a

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

group called Al Muhallafun.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

Al Muhallafun means the people who got left

00:02:17 --> 00:02:17

behind,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

the people who stayed behind and did not

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

join the fight

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

or join this this,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

fulfilling of the dream of the prophet

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

when he's heading towards Mecca.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

And this Surah has already been revealed before

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

the Muslims have reached back to Madinah.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:37

And Allah is now telling the prophet salallahu

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

alaihi wa sallam the conversations that are going

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

to happen when he gets there,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

and what those people are going to say.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

So they're gonna say something and Allah already

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

knows what they're gonna say, and he's telling

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

the prophet ahead of time.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

From the Arabs,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

from the Arab towns,

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

those that were held back, meaning something held

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

them back, their cowardice held them back, their

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

their evil intentions held them back, or maybe

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

even Allah as a punishment held them back.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

Those people that were held back from among

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

the Arabs are going to say,

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

our moneys and our Meaning our businesses

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

and our families

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

made us too busy to go.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

It's interesting

00:03:21 --> 00:03:21

they

00:03:22 --> 00:03:22

don't

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

say

00:03:23 --> 00:03:26

We became busy because of our businesses and

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

our families. They said, our families made us

00:03:29 --> 00:03:29

busy,

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

and our money made us busy. So it's

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

not we that were busy. The the it's

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

the business's fault, and it's

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

the family's fault. They got us too busy.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

So this is this is in Balakha, they

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

call this the concept of the and

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

the. You know, so what are you attributing

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

it to? They didn't attribute the business to

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

themselves.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

They attributed the business to the the the

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53

money and the children.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

Because, yeah, what can I do? Business and

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

money and family, too many obligations. That's why

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

I couldn't come with you.

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

So,

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

therefore, pray for our forgiveness. By the way,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

when the prophet was gonna pray for their

00:04:09 --> 00:04:09

forgiveness,

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

it's gonna be public.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

And that's gonna mean that these people are

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

endorsed because when the Rasulullah

00:04:16 --> 00:04:17

makes dua for someone,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

they're kind of they got a green check

00:04:19 --> 00:04:20

on them. Right? They're they're authenticated.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

Right? So this is their way of passing

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

the old people might not think that because

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

the prophet himself prayed for us. So this

00:04:29 --> 00:04:31

is it's not that they're interested in istighfar,

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

they're interested in not losing their credibility

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

among people. That's actually what this is about.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

So they're gonna come and say

00:04:40 --> 00:04:40

this

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

to you. They will say with their tongues

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

what is not in their hearts. In other

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

words, now Allah is teaching us there are

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

people in Madinah but also in life

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

that are interested. They look like they're asking

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

for something in religion, but it has nothing

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

to do with religion. It has to do

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

with their social standing.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

So the religion is just being used as

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

a social cover for a certain kind of

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

appearance among their peers, among their group, among

00:05:04 --> 00:05:04

their network, or whatever.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:11

Posturing or the positioning yourself

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

or the projecting yourself

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

as righteous,

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

as endorsed.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:18

This is a psychology that permeates in many,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

many societies.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

Right? And the the more someone is afraid

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

of being called out,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

the more they have to put themselves in

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

a religious disguise.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

So you might find sometimes

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

that some of the worst people you'll ever

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

meet look extremely

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

religious.

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

So some of the worst people you'll ever

00:05:36 --> 00:05:36

meet,

00:05:37 --> 00:05:37

the

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

back stabbing, cheating in business, not giving the

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

to the wife, denying inheritance,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

running all kinds of haram business, not giving

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

the borrowed money back, slandering,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

cheating, lie You name it. All the wrongs,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

all the unethical stuff,

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

but they'll look really religious, meaning they'll like

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

pray

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

and they're gonna go like,

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

you know, any chance they get to sort

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

of show that they're doing something Islamic,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:03

you know,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:06

you know, the clothing,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

the appearance, very, very religious. Right? And then

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

what that does is for the average muslim

00:06:10 --> 00:06:12

like these religious people are crazy, man. They're

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

really messed up people.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

Like, how come I meet people that don't

00:06:16 --> 00:06:18

have, you know, they don't have that religious

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

appearance but they're much nicer and these religious

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

people are so messed up. Actually, it's not

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

because they're religious. It's exactly the opposite. It's

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

because they're not religious,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

but they use religion as a disguise.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

They use it as a cover

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

and then they operate with, you know, with

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

whatever they operate.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

Right? So this is actually something very common.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

The most glaring example of that that I

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

I cannot talk about enough

00:06:42 --> 00:06:42

because

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

it's happening in the billion. A 100 of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

millions of people are doing this. It's wild

00:06:47 --> 00:06:48

to me.

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

So the the South Asia and Southeast Asia,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

for example, so India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

Nepal, and you keep going. And for example,

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

now Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

you know,

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

you know, you have Sri Lanka and you

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

have

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

this region is actually the majority of human

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

beings on the planet.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

That that region, South Asia and Southeast Asia

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

together is actually the most dense population of

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

human beings on the on the earth,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

and interestingly, also one of the most dense

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

population of Muslims on the planet.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

So let's talk about the Muslims for a

00:07:22 --> 00:07:22

second.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

When a woman gets, divorced, like a husband

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

and wife had an argument, the guy said,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:29

kalaq.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

Or if you're in Pakistan, it doesn't count

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

until you say it 3 times. Because there

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

some idiot taught them that you have to

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

say it 3 times. So they say they

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

they can't even say it one time. They

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

go, that didn't count.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:46

Now once he does it,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

what happens to the girl?

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

The wife.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

He calls the girl's house and says, hey,

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

I'm done with your daughter.

00:07:56 --> 00:07:57

Take her away.

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

She's not my wife anymore. I give her

00:08:00 --> 00:08:00

talaq.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

Normal.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

Happens when millions and millions of families.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

Suratul Ta'laq and by the way, the guy

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

is religious. Got a big old beard, went

00:08:10 --> 00:08:11

to Hajj last year, took even took a

00:08:11 --> 00:08:13

selfie, an Islamic selfie,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

like all of it.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

The Quran revealed Surat Altaq.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:20

It's been a long time since the Quran

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

was revealed. It's not hiding somewhere.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

And the Quran says,

00:08:32 --> 00:08:32

When you give women,

00:08:33 --> 00:08:36

then give them until the end of their

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

period, which is 3 menstrual cycles.

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

Make sure you complete the period cycles.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

Listen carefully. Don't expel them from their own

00:08:47 --> 00:08:47

homes.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

In those 3 months, even if the house

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

is in your name, bro,

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

it for those 3 months, it is her

00:08:55 --> 00:08:55

house.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

Even if you were never good to her

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

in your life,

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

for those 3 months, she's not your guest.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

She not living in your house. It's her

00:09:05 --> 00:09:07

house and Allah gave her full rights.

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

Do not expel them from their homes.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

And they may not leave either.

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

They shouldn't leave either.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

So for 3 cycles, she shouldn't leave and

00:09:18 --> 00:09:20

he shouldn't kick her out.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:21

Okay?

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

Then the guy says, Okay fine. I won't

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

kick her out. Plus it doesn't mean I'm

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

gonna make it easy for her.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

I'll just cut off the electricity.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

I'll just turn off the water.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

There's no ayah that says keep the electricity.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:38

Right?

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

Allah says,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

He says, do not cause them any harm

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

that makes them feel any discomfort.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

Now he has

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

causing them harm.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

So they feel discomfort inside. Meaning, you now

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

have to not only not allow any physical

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

harm to happen to her, you have to

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

make sure she's not emotionally hurt by anything

00:10:03 --> 00:10:04

you do.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

Even though you're getting divorced because clearly you

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

couldn't handle each other emotionally,

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

in this time you are better than you've

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

ever been because Allah said, You have now

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

entered my time.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

When you enter the idah,

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

before the idah period, you were husband and

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

wife that was between you and you and

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

your wife. The moment you pronounce talaq,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

it's not you and your wife, it's you,

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

Allah, and then your wife. You're not dealing

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

with her, you're dealing with Allah. And Allah

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

says, This is not your time, this is

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

my time, I gave her this edda. And

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

you will treat her like I'm telling you

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

to treat her. Before then, you can be

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

friends, you can do whatever, you can get

00:10:37 --> 00:10:39

upset with each other sometimes, whatever. That's between

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

husband and wife, But not in those 3

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

months.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

For those 3 months. Now you tell me,

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

religious Muslim families,

00:10:48 --> 00:10:51

hijabs, beards, the whole 9 yard. And the

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

hijabi mother who teaches a halaqa every Saturday

00:10:55 --> 00:10:57

is saying, Get out of our house, that's

00:10:57 --> 00:10:58

my son's house.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:01

And then on the weekend, she's gonna do

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

a halakah on tafsirasuluttaqaq.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:06

You don't see this?

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08

Like

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

what religion is this?

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

What religion is this?

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

A lot of a lot of focus on,

00:11:15 --> 00:11:16

hey, did you where did you get the

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

chicken from? Is this halal chicken? Is this

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

zabi halal? Is this super zabi halal? Is

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

the knife halal? Is the guy halal? Is

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

his hand halal?

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

How halal is the halal?

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

This you really gotta make sure it's halal.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

But all this haram you're openly doing, mocking

00:11:31 --> 00:11:32

the ayat of Allah,

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

no problem.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

No problem. There's no issue.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

The guy is making he's going to check,

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

make sure, hey, brother brother, your pants are

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

a little bit before below your ankles.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

If it's below the ankles, it's in the

00:11:48 --> 00:11:48

fire.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

Same guy who still hasn't given his wife

00:11:52 --> 00:11:53

a bath.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:55

Same dude.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

What?

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

Same guy who hasn't given his sister the

00:12:00 --> 00:12:01

share of the inheritance when the father died.

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

Same guy.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:07

I what I know. I don't understand it.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

You know what happens to these people? They

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12

take some parts of the religion,

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

and they say, this is Islam for me.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

So long as people because this is what

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

people see. People can see the pants above

00:12:20 --> 00:12:20

the ankles.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

People can see the size of my beard.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

People can see the hijab on my head.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

People can see that. So long as they

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

see that I'm religious, that's good enough for

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

me.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

What I do behind that, what games I

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

play with the religion, in matters of money,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

in matters of earning, in matters of halal

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

and haram, in matters of anybody else's rights,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:39

and

00:12:39 --> 00:12:40

that doesn't matter.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

That's okay because people don't see that.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:45

People won't see it.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

Sometimes I've met people, the the family

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

I'm I'm not a counselor. But sometimes people

00:12:51 --> 00:12:52

tell me things thinking I'm some kind of

00:12:52 --> 00:12:55

counselor. I'm not. Please stop telling me stuff.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

Come and tell me my husband does this.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

He he beats his kids and he's very

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

angry person and can you please talk to

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

him? He has a very serious anger problem.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:05

I was like, cool.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

Okay.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

Do I know him? Yeah. You know him.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

He comes to the masjid all the time.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:11

I do?

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

I don't know any angry people.

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

Then I meet the guy.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

How are you?

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

I'm like, how do you become from this?

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

You beat your kids,

00:13:25 --> 00:13:26

bro?

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

There's someone else completely in public

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

and someone else entirely when the door closes

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

in the house.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

Entirely different.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

And this is actually these people

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

they want to keep a religious appearance.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

And what's the best way to keep a

00:13:46 --> 00:13:47

religious appearance?

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

Come to the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

give an excuse and ask the prophet to

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

make dua for you. When the prophet makes

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

dua for you, everybody will think, well, the

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

rasool salallahu alaihi wa sallam made dua for

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

this person, this must be a good person.

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

Allah says,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:03

They say with their tongues what is not

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

in their hearts.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

The word alsina is used for eloquent speech,

00:14:08 --> 00:14:09

meaning they're very good at convincing.

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

They're very good with their words.

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

If you say,

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

it means they run their mouth.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

That means they say stupid things too.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

But means they're very sharp. They're very strategic

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

in what they say.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

So they they're very sharp with what their

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

tongues but they say with their tongues what

00:14:25 --> 00:14:26

is not actually in their hearts.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

Tell them in response.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

Who will who who is going to have

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

any authority to

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

keep you from any kind of harm that

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

comes from Allah? In arada become darran, oh

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

arada become nafaan. If Allah intends to harm

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

you in any way or Allah intends to

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

benefit you in any way, who will have

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

control before you

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

against Allah?

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

Actually, Allah has had full account of everything

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

you've been doing. Allah knows about everything that

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

you've been up to.

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

Actually the reality is

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

you were completely convinced

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

You were completely convinced

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

that the Messenger

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

and the believers are not going to be

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

coming back to their families ever again. You

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

were the same people that were really convinced

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

that the Prophet and the believers are going

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

to die. That's why you didn't come. Not

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

because your families were kept keeping you busy,

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

not because your business was keeping you busy,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

because you thought they're never gonna come back,

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

they're gonna die.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

And the thought of that was beautified in

00:15:32 --> 00:15:32

your hearts.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

You love the idea that they would die.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:38

But when you saw them coming,

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

earlier in the surah. It tortures the hypocrites

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

when they see the Prophet surviving and coming

00:15:45 --> 00:15:45

back.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

And now they have to come up with

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

a new plan to keep save face. And

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

this was their plan to save face. Allah

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

already told the prophet

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

they're gonna try to play this game with

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

you. I'm letting you know their entire their

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

entire gameplay, their entire strategy.

00:16:00 --> 00:16:01

So he says,

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

and you had made the worst kinds of

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

assumptions.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

Burah has multiple meanings. One of its meanings

00:16:09 --> 00:16:10

is you are a people that have always

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

been empty on the inside.

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

And bur means khaliyah.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

Bura halia.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

Bur also means dead like a market is

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

dead is barat is suk.

00:16:20 --> 00:16:21

Okay. A sukbur

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

means the the there's no customers in store.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:24

It's all empty.

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

You know, like, like malls nowadays a lot

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

of times are just dead,

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

like dead market spaces.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

Right? So they're they're called also.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

Also means something that's tested. You are a

00:16:35 --> 00:16:37

people that have been tested and have failed.

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

You are a people that are hollow and

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

empty on the inside.

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

You are people that are spiritually dead.

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

And whoever never believed in Allah and the

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

messenger to begin with, his messenger to begin

00:16:51 --> 00:16:52

with, fa inna aatadanaal

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

kafirina saiira and we have prepared a blazing

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

fire for disbelievers.

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

They're not even being called

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

anymore. What are they being called?

00:17:01 --> 00:17:01

Disbelievers.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

There's an escalation. We went from to

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

because the

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

even though socially they're Muslims, spiritually they're kafir.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:11

This is a spiritual label. You can declare

00:17:11 --> 00:17:12

them kufar

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

but Allah is describing their spiritual reality.

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

However, Allah

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

alone owns the kingdom of the skies and

00:17:23 --> 00:17:23

the earth.

00:17:27 --> 00:17:29

He can cover up and forgive whoever he

00:17:29 --> 00:17:29

wants.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

He can cover up your sins and forgive

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

or whoever he wants.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

And he can punish whoever he wants. By

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

the way, you know the word,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:39

interesting word,

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

which we translate as punishment or torture.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

Actually comes from,

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

And adb means sweetness. And adab is,

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

which means to remove all pleasure.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

Like there's no joy left is actually adab.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

So it's it's as if the kind of

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

pain that makes you forget there was ever

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

anything called pleasure.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

That's actually called adab.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

Is one of the very intense words in

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

the Arabic language. So

00:18:05 --> 00:18:06

you

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

and Allah has always been extremely forgiving, always

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

loving and caring. In other words, Allah is

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

saying, even though you've been really messed up,

00:18:15 --> 00:18:17

Allah can forgive anything even now.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:19

Even now you have a chance to make

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

make your way back.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:25

And these people who were held back will

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

speak out again. They will also say,

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

when you march forward to

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

great piles of wealth that you're just going

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

to take. Let me explain what this means

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

in simple English. The Muslims are being told

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

in this ayah. The Rasool SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

is being told that when you go back,

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

you are going to march to a place

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

where you're going to make a lot of

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

wealth. What is that referring to? Khaybar.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:51

Khaybar

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

hasn't happened yet. We haven't even made our

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

way back to Madinah yet. But Allah has

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

already revealed you're gonna be going.

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

In that in towards

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

towards wealth that you're just going to take.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:03

By the way, Allah didn't say you're going

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

to a battle.

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

Allah said you're going to great piles of

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

wealth

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

and you're going to take it. What does

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

that mean? It's almost as though it's lying

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

there waiting for you to take it. Almost

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

as though it's not even gonna be a

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

real fight.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

It's not gonna be like

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

and all of that. Right? So even Allah

00:19:19 --> 00:19:21

is already saying, this is gonna be an

00:19:21 --> 00:19:23

easy win for you, and it's gonna bring

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

a lot of wealth. And these same people

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

that were held back, when they see you

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

going for the easy fight,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

the no fight at all, the no contest

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

victory, when they see you going for that,

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

They're gonna say to you,

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

leave us to leave us give us permission

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

to follow you.

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

Allow us to follow you. Allow us the

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

honor of battle in the path of Allah.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:51

We want to fight for the sake of

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

Allah. Where was this fight for the sake

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

of Allah when the prophet saw a dream

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

and he wanted to go to Hajj?

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

These people are gonna get themselves killed. You

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

didn't wanna come,

00:19:59 --> 00:20:01

but now you see money that that their

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

eyeballs turn into dollar signs, and they're like,

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

I want to come for the sake of

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

Allah.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:10

Can you please come?

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

This is

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

another reality, a timeless reality.

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

There will be people

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

that will want to join something for the

00:20:19 --> 00:20:20

sake of Islam,

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

but the shallow intentions are obvious.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

The shallow objectives are obvious. It's money. It's

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

fame. It's something else.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:28

Right?

00:20:29 --> 00:20:31

So you'll have, you know, for example,

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

a lot of young people nowadays I hope

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

you guys don't catch this disease in Fort

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

Worth, but I wanna be an Islamic influencer

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

for the sake of Allah.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

You're Islamic you're not even Islamically influenced yet.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

It's like influencer.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:51

You know, guys, it's really important to make

00:20:51 --> 00:20:53

a sthfaar in the morning. Okay? Like me.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

Like I'm making a sthfaar right now. And

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

it's really important that it's just between you

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

And that this this this relationship is just

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

between you and Allah and no one should

00:21:03 --> 00:21:04

know about it.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

Like making making tahajjud.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

Notice the moon outside? It's the tahajjud moon.

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

Yeah.

00:21:10 --> 00:21:13

Make sure, guys, keep your intentions sincere.

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

Check out my live tomorrow from Qiyam

00:21:20 --> 00:21:21

for the sake of Allah.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

They'll they'll come to the prophet and say,

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

hey, we wanna follow you. And

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

now Allah has now given the prophet a

00:21:34 --> 00:21:36

directive. What's the directive? These people, since they

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

didn't come with you to Hudaybiyyah

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

or to to this umrah dream,

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

as a result, they may not they are

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

not allowed to join you in battle.

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

Because it proves they're not willing to die

00:21:48 --> 00:21:48

on the battlefield.

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

And if you're not willing to die on

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

the battlefield, you are a liability on the

00:21:52 --> 00:21:55

battlefield, not an asset. Because when things get

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

difficult, what's gonna be expected from these people?

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

They're gonna run, they're gonna abandon the strategic

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

position which is gonna turn into death.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

It's better not to take these people anywhere.

00:22:06 --> 00:22:09

So when they come to you and say

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

this, Allah says,

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

They intend to change or replace the speech

00:22:14 --> 00:22:17

of Allah. Meaning Allah has given his word,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

you cannot What's the kalam of Allah?

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

Declare to them.

00:22:21 --> 00:22:22

You will never follow us,

00:22:23 --> 00:22:25

which is a play on words. You're never

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

gonna follow us actually, not even in Islam

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

and not in this mission.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:30

You're not real followers anyway.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

You're not you haven't been following all along.

00:22:33 --> 00:22:34

Why you wanna follow now?

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

And by the way, that is what Allah

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

has already said beforehand. Meaning,

00:22:42 --> 00:22:45

this ayah has come before this conversations already

00:22:45 --> 00:22:45

happened.

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

This conversation will happen when they get to

00:22:47 --> 00:22:50

Madinah, and they're about go to kaybar, and

00:22:50 --> 00:22:50

they'll say,

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

And you'll say,

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

You're not gonna follow us. Where you getting

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

this from? Oh, that's alarri. You don't know

00:23:00 --> 00:23:02

the surah? Everyone's talking about you already. You

00:23:02 --> 00:23:03

famous bro.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

And then they will respond and say,

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

or you're just jealous of us.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

That's what they're gonna say.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

You're just jealous that you got you went

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

all the way to hudaybiya and you lost

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

your animals and you came back poor and

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23

we didn't make that mistake, so you're just

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

heard about that that we got away from

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

that that catastrophe.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:28

And that's why you don't want us to

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

get any of the spoils this time.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

And when they talk like that to try

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

to instigate you, to try this by the

00:23:35 --> 00:23:36

way, when you when people talk like that,

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

you feel like I need to respond. I

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

need to say something.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

So basically, they become trolls on social media

00:23:42 --> 00:23:43

at this point.

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

You just jealous.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:48

And what does Allah say?

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

No. They've never actually understood anything except very

00:23:53 --> 00:23:55

little. These these are people of very small

00:23:55 --> 00:23:56

intellect.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

What is Allah saying? When people try to

00:23:58 --> 00:24:01

instigate you, that is an indication of the

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

minute size, the microscopic size of their inter

00:24:04 --> 00:24:05

of their intellect.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

So no need to engage.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

There's no need to engage.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:11

It's a remarkable. When they say,

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

Allah's response is they don't understand much.

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

It's okay. You can only expect this much

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

from stupid people.

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

What does that tell you about how you

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

should engage? Well, you know, what most people

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

when they consume anything online now, they don't

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

even listen to what they're listening to. They're

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

just reading the comments.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

They're just reading the nonsense underneath.

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

And my problem with that is I've I

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

don't remember ever actually making a comment

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

with good intention.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

I mean, I make comments for fun sometimes

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

to people that make comments to me

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

just for just for fun because I I

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

find it entertaining.

00:24:53 --> 00:24:53

Because

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

one guy was really upset with the size

00:24:56 --> 00:24:57

of my beard.

00:24:58 --> 00:25:00

So he said, brother, you don't have proper

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

beard. But he spelled beard incorrectly. He spelled

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

he spelled bread.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

You don't even have proper bread.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:09

So I wrote back,

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

wheat are you saying?

00:25:19 --> 00:25:20

I can't help it.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

The dad jokes just

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

flow. It's a gift and a curse.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

And

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

picture, I was wearing a suit and he's

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

like, brother,

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

this is not proper dress. And the guy,

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

his profile picture, he had sunglasses on, right?

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

So I was like, you're right. I forgot

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

my sunglasses.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

So yeah. Okay.

00:25:48 --> 00:25:49

But my point is,

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

I don't know of anyone who has the

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

time

00:25:52 --> 00:25:55

to watch a YouTube video or something on

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

whatever social media and they're like, I need

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

to make a comment about this immediately.

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

I don't even have time to text back

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

my my coworkers or

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

important people in my I have time to

00:26:05 --> 00:26:06

talk to a video?

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

Alright.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

Like, the people who are doing this have

00:26:10 --> 00:26:11

some special kind of time on their hands.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:13

Right?

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

And you can tell from the

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

from what they're saying a lot of times,

00:26:18 --> 00:26:22

the, you know, the the the enormous amount

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

of distance that lies between 1 neuron and

00:26:25 --> 00:26:25

the other.

00:26:26 --> 00:26:27

Right?

00:26:27 --> 00:26:29

The so why engage?

00:26:30 --> 00:26:32

Why engage in that? Right? So he says,

00:26:34 --> 00:26:34

let them talk.

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

However, this is what you should say to

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

them. Those who were held back from the

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

Arab, from the Bedouins, let them know

00:26:49 --> 00:26:52

Soon, you shall be called to another nation

00:26:52 --> 00:26:55

that possess great power of of war.

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

What is a nation? Another nation

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

that is a great power of war. What

00:27:01 --> 00:27:02

is this referring to?

00:27:03 --> 00:27:04

The Romans.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:08

You shall be fighting them.

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

Or

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

they're going to be accepting Islam.

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

One of those 2 things are gonna happen.

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

And if you do follow in that case,

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

in other words, you you can't go to

00:27:21 --> 00:27:22

khaibar because that's easy.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

But when we're about to take on the

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

Romans, you are welcome to join.

00:27:27 --> 00:27:29

And if you do join at that time,

00:27:30 --> 00:27:31

Allah says,

00:27:33 --> 00:27:34

Allah will give you great reward.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

And if you turn your backs the way

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

you have before, in other words, if you

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

turn back the way you normally do,

00:27:44 --> 00:27:44

that's the comment.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

Allah will punish you with a painful punishment.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:53

Why is Allah saying He'll punish you with

00:27:53 --> 00:27:55

a painful punishment? Because you come offering, We

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

wanna follow you. Really? You wanna follow? Then

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

the next time you're told to follow, and

00:28:00 --> 00:28:02

you don't follow, see what Allah does with

00:28:02 --> 00:28:03

you.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

Now some sahaba heard this and they got

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

worried because some of the sahaba were blind,

00:28:10 --> 00:28:12

Some of the sahaba were injured. Some of

00:28:12 --> 00:28:15

the sahaba were were disabled. They're like, oh,

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

I can't I can't go.

00:28:17 --> 00:28:18

How am I gonna go to battle? Allah

00:28:18 --> 00:28:19

says,

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

There's no harm that on the on the

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

on the blind. The blind aren't being asked

00:28:24 --> 00:28:24

to go.

00:28:27 --> 00:28:29

And nobody who's disabled in some kind of

00:28:29 --> 00:28:29

debilitation

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

is being asked to go.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

And some people who are sick, there's no

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

harm on them if they don't go.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:42

And whoever were to obey Allah and His

00:28:42 --> 00:28:44

messenger, He will enter them into gardens. In

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

other words, the blind,

00:28:46 --> 00:28:47

the disabled,

00:28:47 --> 00:28:49

the sick, they can't go. They can't even

00:28:49 --> 00:28:50

leave their house.

00:28:51 --> 00:28:53

Right? So forget going to Umrah. They can't

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

even go battle They can't even leave their

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

house. And Allah says, it doesn't matter if

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

you can leave your house or not, I

00:28:57 --> 00:28:59

will still enter you into gardens. I will

00:28:59 --> 00:29:00

get you where you need to go.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

It's also really interesting here that Allah used

00:29:03 --> 00:29:05

these words these words in a general way.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:06

He didn't mention fighting in the path of

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

Allah in this ayah. He separated the ayah.

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

Which means you can look at it in

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

context, but you can also derive something universal

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

from it. And what's the universal?

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

That people that are sick or blind or

00:29:17 --> 00:29:18

people that are disabled,

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

there is no haraj on them. You shouldn't

00:29:20 --> 00:29:23

look down on them. You shouldn't consider them

00:29:23 --> 00:29:24

less in any way.

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

So you shouldn't act like they are in

00:29:32 --> 00:29:33

some sense less.

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

And the same

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

were offered to people that were going all

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

the way,

00:29:37 --> 00:29:41

liyukhiral mumineena wal mumineena jannatin tajlimin tahtihi alanhar.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

The same jannahat are being offered to them.

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

What does that mean? In the sight of

00:29:44 --> 00:29:46

Allah, they are no less.

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

That's what it means. And if someone is

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

no less to Allah, then how should they

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

be any less to you and me?

00:29:52 --> 00:29:55

So what we've done, unfortunately, in our cultures

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

is somebody's child is disabled, somebody got disabled

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

because of a car accident, became blind, something

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

else happened, And all of a sudden, we

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

start treating them very very differently,

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

very differently. And some people are so

00:30:08 --> 00:30:09

in their superstitions,

00:30:09 --> 00:30:11

don't even invite them to a wedding. It's

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

a bad omen.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

Nobody wants to see a blind person at

00:30:14 --> 00:30:15

a wedding,

00:30:16 --> 00:30:17

you know.

00:30:18 --> 00:30:20

So what are they gonna look at anyway?

00:30:22 --> 00:30:23

You know?

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

Or we don't want this person here. We

00:30:25 --> 00:30:26

that you know, that person got cancer? No.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

No. No. We don't want the cancer person.

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

Am I I don't want a cancer person.

00:30:29 --> 00:30:30

Am I wileema?

00:30:31 --> 00:30:31

Really?

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

Where the the And you think Allah won't

00:30:34 --> 00:30:35

ask you about this kind of behavior?

00:30:37 --> 00:30:39

Like this is okay to do? And forget

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

doing this with strangers. People do this with

00:30:41 --> 00:30:41

their own family.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

People are doing this with their own their

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

own family. Subhanallah.

00:30:49 --> 00:30:51

Allah. And whoever turns back,

00:30:53 --> 00:30:55

Allah will punish them with a painful punishment.

00:30:55 --> 00:30:56

This ayah also teaches us that if you're

00:30:56 --> 00:31:00

disabled, or sick, or poor, or you know,

00:31:00 --> 00:31:01

or or held back in any way,

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

you're still expected to obey Allah in whatever

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

you can.

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

And even though lying in a hotel or

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

in a hospital bed, you can still turn

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

away from Allah.

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

And whoever turns away from Allah, Allah will

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

punish painful punishment.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

So you don't have to be fully healthy

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

to be disobedient to Allah.

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

Disobedience to Allah can happen in your heart,

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

on your tongue.

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

None None of your body parts are moving

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

but your tongue is saying things.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

He's turning his back.

00:31:28 --> 00:31:31

So it's not like you're free from sin.

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

Allah has already been pleased with those believers

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

that that are giving that were giving you

00:31:42 --> 00:31:43

their pledge under the tree.

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

He knew what lied in their hearts.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

And He sent tranquility on top of them.

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

So now we learn 2 kinds of tranquility.

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

1 was inside and the other was

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

above. So they were enveloped in it and

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

they were inserted with it.

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

And he allowed them to come into contact

00:32:03 --> 00:32:06

with a nearby victory. What's the nearby victory?

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

That's gonna be the small victory that's coming

00:32:08 --> 00:32:09

is khaybar.

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

By the way, khaybar is more money than

00:32:11 --> 00:32:12

the Muslims have ever seen

00:32:12 --> 00:32:13

up until now,

00:32:14 --> 00:32:14

ever.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

And yet Allah just calls it just some

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

nearby victory.

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

But the great victory, the obvious victory in

00:32:22 --> 00:32:23

the beginning,

00:32:24 --> 00:32:27

that's already happened in Khudavia. So

00:32:27 --> 00:32:30

in the sight of Allah, the material victory

00:32:30 --> 00:32:31

didn't matter much

00:32:32 --> 00:32:33

because the rizq is in the hands of

00:32:33 --> 00:32:34

Allah. It's

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

the moral victory, the spiritual victory, the strategic

00:32:39 --> 00:32:40

victory that was far more important.

00:32:45 --> 00:32:45

And

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

there will be many many spoils, many riches

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

that are going to come that you will

00:32:50 --> 00:32:50

take.

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

And Allah has always been ultimate the ultimate

00:32:56 --> 00:32:57

authority, all wise.

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

Allah has promised you, what's your?

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

Farish, go to your mom. Farish, go to

00:33:10 --> 00:33:11

your mom.

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

Farish.

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

No. That's Farish. Hey, Farish.

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

Rahma, it never works. It never this is

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

like the 8th time you've done this.

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

Try to be inconspicuous in the middle of

00:33:26 --> 00:33:26

a lecture.

00:33:27 --> 00:33:29

It's called out every time. It's like a

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

history with. Yep. You're famous now,

00:33:33 --> 00:33:33

Okay.

00:33:35 --> 00:33:36

Good job, Faris. Okay.

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

What was I saying? Something about Islam?

00:33:46 --> 00:33:49

Allah has promised you many many spoils that

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

you will just be taking.

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

And Allah has expedited some of these for

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

you. Meaning Allah has rushed this for you.

00:33:57 --> 00:33:58

It's coming quickly.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

You're not gonna have to wait long. I'll

00:34:00 --> 00:34:03

describe this tomorrow. So what we what we

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

the history I described to you yesterday and

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

earlier today is before the coming of the

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

surah, right? And then the surah came. But

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

now the surah is talking about things that

00:34:12 --> 00:34:14

are gonna happen after the surah came.

00:34:15 --> 00:34:16

So it's talking about the future. So we'll

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

talk about that in the future too. So

00:34:18 --> 00:34:19

we'll talk about that tomorrow, inshallah. What is

00:34:19 --> 00:34:21

this commenting on?

00:34:21 --> 00:34:22

You know, well that's coming. So we're in

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

anticipation in a sense, kind of like the

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

sahaba we're in anticipation. What is this talking

00:34:27 --> 00:34:27

about?

00:34:31 --> 00:34:34

And Allah has kept He's tied the people's

00:34:34 --> 00:34:36

hands from getting to you. Meaning people won't

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

be able to harm you.

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

You're gonna be able to grab these spoils,

00:34:40 --> 00:34:42

and you're not gonna be able to be

00:34:42 --> 00:34:42

harmed.

00:34:43 --> 00:34:44

Walitakuna ayatallumminina

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

wayyahdiyakomsevaata

00:34:46 --> 00:34:47

mustaqimah.

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

And so this will all become a great

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

sign for believers, and he will guide all

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

of you to a straight path. That straight

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

path once again is the path to victory.

00:34:55 --> 00:34:57

So now the strategic road to to the

00:34:57 --> 00:34:59

conquest of Mecca is opened. Uhra

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

And secondarily,

00:35:03 --> 00:35:03

additionally,

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

there are lands that you have not yet

00:35:08 --> 00:35:09

conquered.

00:35:09 --> 00:35:12

There are places that you haven't controlled yet.

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

Other wealth that you haven't amassed yet.

00:35:16 --> 00:35:19

Allah has already encircled it for you.

00:35:20 --> 00:35:21

It's just waiting for you to be taken.

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

Notice in the language over and over again

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

what keeps coming up.

00:35:26 --> 00:35:28

Lots of money is coming, lots of wealth

00:35:28 --> 00:35:30

is coming, lots of land is coming. Lots

00:35:30 --> 00:35:32

of resources are coming. And then Allah used

00:35:32 --> 00:35:32

this keyword,

00:35:34 --> 00:35:35

uhhra It's secondary.

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

As if that's never that was never your

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

objective. The Prophet's objective was never land or

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

territory or wealth or none of that. That's

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

just Allah giving on the side. It's it's

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

always in the number 2 position. It's just

00:35:47 --> 00:35:48

a means to an end.

00:35:51 --> 00:35:53

Allah has always been in complete control over

00:35:53 --> 00:35:56

everything. This is Allah telling us that the

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

objective of Islam is not control.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

The objective of Islam is not territory.

00:36:02 --> 00:36:04

The objective of Islam was something far greater

00:36:04 --> 00:36:05

and territory just comes.

00:36:06 --> 00:36:08

The problem with Islamic, you know, the the

00:36:08 --> 00:36:09

the movement

00:36:10 --> 00:36:12

that happened, you know, post colonization

00:36:12 --> 00:36:14

was there was an obsession with control.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:16

It was an obsession. We have to get

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

the land. We have to we have to

00:36:18 --> 00:36:21

have governmental control. The problem with governmental control.

00:36:21 --> 00:36:22

So tomorrow, let's say, in a Muslim country,

00:36:22 --> 00:36:25

a Muslim country, let's say, in in in

00:36:25 --> 00:36:25

Pakistan,

00:36:26 --> 00:36:26

some

00:36:26 --> 00:36:29

Islamically minded people just take over.

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

Some military generals that are very religious or

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

whatever say, you know what? We're having an

00:36:34 --> 00:36:36

Islamic takeover of the country. We're gonna implement

00:36:36 --> 00:36:39

sharia law. This is gonna and now everybody's

00:36:39 --> 00:36:39

like, tukmood.

00:36:40 --> 00:36:42

Right? And we're really happy because now we

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

have we got a land that's completely Islamic

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

now and under Islamic law. And all of

00:36:47 --> 00:36:48

the haram things have been removed and you

00:36:48 --> 00:36:50

know, the bars are getting shut down, the

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

clubs are getting shut down, and like all

00:36:52 --> 00:36:54

the the riba is being removed. All these

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

stuff happening, right? All overnight.

00:36:57 --> 00:36:59

Was that the objective of Islam? If that

00:36:59 --> 00:37:01

was, then you are imposing the law of

00:37:01 --> 00:37:03

Islam on a majority of people who are

00:37:03 --> 00:37:06

actually not interested in that law, nor do

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

they want to follow it.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

So you're ensuring that people are following it

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

for intentions other than the pleasure of Allah,

00:37:12 --> 00:37:15

which means you're creating an entire culture of

00:37:15 --> 00:37:15

hypocrisy.

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

A gigantic culture of nifaq.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

The only reason they're and by the way,

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

for example in Iran, you have the shahs

00:37:23 --> 00:37:26

and you have their version of Sharia law,

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

right? The the Shia nation but they have

00:37:28 --> 00:37:29

Sharia law implementation.

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

How many how many

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

revolts are happening against that and protests happening

00:37:33 --> 00:37:34

against that?

00:37:34 --> 00:37:37

Right? From their own population. Why?

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

If the objective of Islam was to get

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

a government and to get issue policies

00:37:42 --> 00:37:45

to make know, selling pork haram and selling

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

alcohol haram. And if that's what you think

00:37:47 --> 00:37:49

the objective of Islam was, that's one view.

00:37:51 --> 00:37:52

But if you study the silah of the

00:37:52 --> 00:37:53

prophet the

00:37:54 --> 00:37:57

first objective is to actually generate the people

00:37:58 --> 00:37:59

that you don't have to govern

00:38:00 --> 00:38:01

for them to obey Allah.

00:38:02 --> 00:38:04

You don't have to have a government coming

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

and telling them they have to fast for

00:38:06 --> 00:38:08

them to fast. Or a government coming and

00:38:08 --> 00:38:10

telling them they cannot drink alcohol for them

00:38:10 --> 00:38:11

to give up alcohol.

00:38:12 --> 00:38:15

The most amazing transformation that happened, the revolution

00:38:15 --> 00:38:17

that happened in the Quran, in the seerah

00:38:17 --> 00:38:18

of the Prophet

00:38:18 --> 00:38:21

even the establishment of the khilafa eventually. The

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

khilafa was brought about at the hands of

00:38:23 --> 00:38:23

people

00:38:24 --> 00:38:25

who were actually

00:38:25 --> 00:38:28

completely in Allah's obedience already themselves.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

They were the masses of them were already

00:38:32 --> 00:38:34

in obedience to Allah themselves.

00:38:35 --> 00:38:38

And naturally then, they're going to establish an

00:38:38 --> 00:38:38

order

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

that is in line with their own world

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

view.

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

They're already loyal to Allah's book and His

00:38:45 --> 00:38:45

Messenger.

00:38:46 --> 00:38:48

And they're gonna if you enforce this on

00:38:48 --> 00:38:51

people, doesn't that become a form of

00:38:52 --> 00:38:54

There's no compulsion in religion?

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

I remember when I was younger, I was

00:38:56 --> 00:38:57

in Sarudia.

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

And

00:38:59 --> 00:39:01

back then, they don't have that anymore. They

00:39:01 --> 00:39:01

had the mutawa.

00:39:03 --> 00:39:04

So in Riyadh, where I used to live

00:39:04 --> 00:39:05

in my childhood,

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

when if I'm outside, it's Asar time and

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

the adhan goes off, you better not be

00:39:10 --> 00:39:11

found on the street.

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

They had these police authorized

00:39:13 --> 00:39:14

mashayikh. They're called

00:39:15 --> 00:39:17

They had a stick in their long stick

00:39:17 --> 00:39:19

in their hand. And if they see you,

00:39:19 --> 00:39:20

they bop you on the head.

00:39:22 --> 00:39:23

And if you don't run to the masjid,

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

then they'll call the cops on you.

00:39:26 --> 00:39:28

And the the stores had to be shut

00:39:28 --> 00:39:30

down during the salah because if the stores

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

are open, the store keeper

00:39:32 --> 00:39:33

will be dragged. And a lot of you

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

we had a lot of Bangladeshi Muslims and

00:39:35 --> 00:39:38

Indian Muslims and Pakistani Muslims and, you know,

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

Sri Sri Lankan Muslims. But we also had

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

Sri Lankan Hindus and Sri Lankan

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

Christians, and some of those guys got dragged

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

into the masjid because they don't speak Arabic

00:39:47 --> 00:39:48

and they just know because they would hear

00:39:48 --> 00:39:51

everybody say, salaam alaikum. Salaam alaikum. Sala, sala,

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

sala, no no no sala. There's a no

00:39:53 --> 00:39:54

no sala.

00:39:55 --> 00:39:58

He got beat. It's like his first salah.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

He's like, love. But like, you know but

00:40:01 --> 00:40:03

even the Muslims who got beat into going

00:40:03 --> 00:40:04

to the salah,

00:40:06 --> 00:40:08

You believe that was the objective of Islam?

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam,

00:40:12 --> 00:40:13

when he

00:40:13 --> 00:40:15

would would pray fajr and some wouldn't show

00:40:15 --> 00:40:16

up.

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

Right? There's some stronger hadith.

00:40:20 --> 00:40:22

Right? But none of them say, drag them

00:40:22 --> 00:40:23

over here and make them pray.

00:40:24 --> 00:40:25

Not one of them.

00:40:26 --> 00:40:26

No.

00:40:28 --> 00:40:30

You have even later on in the time

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

of Umar Radiallahu Anhu, he found somebody drinking

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

in his house,

00:40:33 --> 00:40:34

drinking alcohol.

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

He used to walk walk the streets. Right?

00:40:36 --> 00:40:38

So He saw somebody. Window was open. You

00:40:38 --> 00:40:40

can see inside he's getting drunk. So he

00:40:40 --> 00:40:42

he barges and he said, you're doing haram.

00:40:42 --> 00:40:44

He said, I did 1 haram. You did

00:40:44 --> 00:40:45

3 haram.

00:40:46 --> 00:40:48

First of all, you looked inside my house.

00:40:48 --> 00:40:49

I have a right to have privacy.

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

You walked in without permission, and you made

00:40:52 --> 00:40:52

assumption.

00:40:53 --> 00:40:54

How you know it's alcohol?

00:40:57 --> 00:40:58

Omar Khattab

00:40:59 --> 00:41:00

let him go,

00:41:01 --> 00:41:01

walked away.

00:41:03 --> 00:41:05

Couple of days later, Omar has given Khutba.

00:41:06 --> 00:41:07

Who's in the audience?

00:41:08 --> 00:41:09

Same guy.

00:41:10 --> 00:41:12

And he called him afterwards and he said,

00:41:13 --> 00:41:15

you know, I never told anyone about you.

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

And he said, you know, I stopped drinking

00:41:16 --> 00:41:17

after that day.

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

The goal of the objective

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

of

00:41:25 --> 00:41:27

the Quran, the victory,

00:41:28 --> 00:41:30

The victory is to produce people that will

00:41:30 --> 00:41:33

obey Allah even when every one of their

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

feelings is saying disobey Allah's messenger. Isn't that

00:41:35 --> 00:41:36

what happened in Hudaybiyyah?

00:41:37 --> 00:41:39

Isn't that the ultimate fat?

00:41:40 --> 00:41:43

Do you think if our children don't want

00:41:43 --> 00:41:44

to pray and we take them into a

00:41:44 --> 00:41:46

Muslim country that forces them to pray,

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

Our children don't want to wear hijab.

00:41:50 --> 00:41:52

Our children don't want to recite the Quran.

00:41:52 --> 00:41:55

Our children are not interested in the deen.

00:41:55 --> 00:41:57

Our children want to go to concerts, and

00:41:57 --> 00:41:59

they want to go to, you know, they

00:41:59 --> 00:42:00

wanna go gamble.

00:42:00 --> 00:42:03

They wanna drink alcohol. And you're not letting

00:42:03 --> 00:42:04

them because it's haram.

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

And now they become adults. And they want

00:42:07 --> 00:42:08

to do all those things but you put

00:42:08 --> 00:42:09

them in a Muslim country so they can't.

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

You think that will make them believers?

00:42:12 --> 00:42:13

You think that will make them successful in

00:42:13 --> 00:42:14

the eyes of Allah?

00:42:15 --> 00:42:16

You think on judgement day, Oh, you Allah,

00:42:16 --> 00:42:18

they were in Muslim country, they couldn't do

00:42:18 --> 00:42:18

it.

00:42:21 --> 00:42:23

Is Allah judging what you couldn't do or

00:42:23 --> 00:42:24

is Allah judging the hearts?

00:42:25 --> 00:42:27

The ultimate victory of Islam

00:42:28 --> 00:42:30

is to make a human being successful in

00:42:30 --> 00:42:33

front of Allah on judgment day. If that

00:42:33 --> 00:42:34

goal is not established,

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

if that is not your goal and your

00:42:36 --> 00:42:37

goal is superficially

00:42:38 --> 00:42:39

imposing Islamic rules

00:42:40 --> 00:42:42

that you think is Islam itself,

00:42:43 --> 00:42:44

then you failed.

00:42:45 --> 00:42:47

That's actually So what if a 1000000 people

00:42:47 --> 00:42:50

are being forced to pray and forced to

00:42:50 --> 00:42:52

eat halal and none of them want to,

00:42:52 --> 00:42:54

or the majority of them don't want to,

00:42:54 --> 00:42:56

or the moment they have freedom, they'll do

00:42:56 --> 00:42:56

something else?

00:42:58 --> 00:42:58

You

00:42:59 --> 00:42:59

had

00:43:00 --> 00:43:01

this ugly realities

00:43:01 --> 00:43:03

but you need to know these things.

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

Country I shall not name, Islamic.

00:43:07 --> 00:43:09

No alcohol, no gambling, no this, no that.

00:43:09 --> 00:43:11

And a neighboring country,

00:43:12 --> 00:43:15

alcohol is okay. Even the Muslim country. Alcohol

00:43:15 --> 00:43:17

is okay. Prostitution is okay. Clubbing is okay.

00:43:17 --> 00:43:20

Everything is okay. Just a border between them.

00:43:20 --> 00:43:22

And it's an open border.

00:43:23 --> 00:43:23

Friday

00:43:24 --> 00:43:24

night,

00:43:25 --> 00:43:28

there's a massive traffic jam from the Islamic

00:43:28 --> 00:43:29

country

00:43:30 --> 00:43:31

into the party country.

00:43:33 --> 00:43:34

All

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

all weekend

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

and a massive hijrah back. They make umrah

00:43:38 --> 00:43:39

every weekend.

00:43:41 --> 00:43:43

And these are both Muslim countries.

00:43:44 --> 00:43:46

These are both Muslims and there's

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

adaal in both countries.

00:43:49 --> 00:43:50

There's salah in both countries.

00:43:51 --> 00:43:53

But what is this reality? The reality is

00:43:54 --> 00:43:56

Islam is not being brought to the

00:43:57 --> 00:43:59

people. When we're discussing Islam in the Muslim

00:43:59 --> 00:44:01

lands, we're discussing Sharia courts.

00:44:01 --> 00:44:04

We're discussing policies. We're discussing, oh, should we

00:44:04 --> 00:44:06

kill the murtad or not? Or should we

00:44:06 --> 00:44:09

ban alcohol or not? Whether you ban alcohol

00:44:09 --> 00:44:11

or not, the people who want to drink

00:44:11 --> 00:44:13

alcohol, you haven't addressed why do they want

00:44:13 --> 00:44:14

it.

00:44:15 --> 00:44:17

Why would the sahaba pouring out the alcohol

00:44:17 --> 00:44:18

that they were

00:44:19 --> 00:44:21

getting drunk on for years, and one ayah

00:44:21 --> 00:44:22

comes down, no police,

00:44:23 --> 00:44:26

no prohibition laws, no no penalties, no nothing.

00:44:26 --> 00:44:27

And the streets of Madinah are flooding with

00:44:27 --> 00:44:28

alcohol. Why?

00:44:29 --> 00:44:30

Because

00:44:30 --> 00:44:32

that was the ultimate victory of the prophet

00:44:33 --> 00:44:34

He produced people like that.

00:44:36 --> 00:44:36

It's people.

00:44:37 --> 00:44:39

It's not government. It's not policy. It's not

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

control. It's not land. It's not resources. Oh,

00:44:41 --> 00:44:43

we don't have the media. We don't have

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

the power. We don't have the resources. We

00:44:45 --> 00:44:46

don't have the money. What resources did Rasool

00:44:46 --> 00:44:47

alaihi wa sallam have?

00:44:49 --> 00:44:50

What resources that he have?

00:44:51 --> 00:44:53

And finally, we're about to get 1,000,000. Right?

00:44:54 --> 00:44:56

Finally. And how is Allah describing these 1,000,000?

00:44:56 --> 00:44:57

Secondary.

00:45:03 --> 00:45:05

Lands, What is becoming our minds until Muslims

00:45:05 --> 00:45:07

have the resources, until we have the money,

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

until we have the power, until we have

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

the government, until we have the Sharia or

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

courts, until then Islam will not be victorious.

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

Really?

00:45:15 --> 00:45:18

In other words, we think Islam will come

00:45:18 --> 00:45:19

top down.

00:45:20 --> 00:45:22

Islam has always come how?

00:45:24 --> 00:45:24

Bottom up.

00:45:25 --> 00:45:26

Bottom up.

00:45:26 --> 00:45:29

Even bringing Islam into a society can only

00:45:29 --> 00:45:31

come bottom up. And if you try to

00:45:31 --> 00:45:32

bring it top down,

00:45:33 --> 00:45:35

if one group of Muslims says, we're gonna

00:45:35 --> 00:45:36

bring it top down, what's gonna happen?

00:45:37 --> 00:45:40

Just like you forced it on society, it's

00:45:40 --> 00:45:42

like forcing somebody to eat something they don't

00:45:42 --> 00:45:44

wanna eat. What's gonna happen? They're gonna throw

00:45:44 --> 00:45:44

it up.

00:45:45 --> 00:45:46

They're gonna just

00:45:46 --> 00:45:47

it's gonna come out.

00:45:48 --> 00:45:49

You know?

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

And this is what we have to contend

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

with.

00:45:53 --> 00:45:55

To me, the biggest battle is not we

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

have to make our countries Islamic.

00:45:57 --> 00:45:59

The biggest con the biggest

00:45:59 --> 00:46:01

challenge to me is we have to make

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

our youth inspired by the Quran.

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

That's it. Because if we can make our

00:46:06 --> 00:46:08

youth inspired by the Quran,

00:46:08 --> 00:46:11

then those youth will one day become fathers.

00:46:11 --> 00:46:12

And within 20 years,

00:46:13 --> 00:46:15

we're going to have an entire generation of

00:46:15 --> 00:46:15

Muslims

00:46:16 --> 00:46:19

that will naturally bring about an Islamic society

00:46:20 --> 00:46:23

because they're they're attached to this religion

00:46:23 --> 00:46:24

as part of their psyche.

00:46:25 --> 00:46:29

They're consciously Muslim. They're not civilizational Muslims. They're

00:46:29 --> 00:46:31

not Muslim because their dad was Muslim or

00:46:31 --> 00:46:33

mom was Muslim. They're Muslim because they love

00:46:33 --> 00:46:35

this religion. They're convinced of it. They're convinced

00:46:35 --> 00:46:37

of its values. They can convince their non

00:46:37 --> 00:46:38

Muslim friend of its values.

00:46:39 --> 00:46:42

They're not convinced of it. The people are

00:46:42 --> 00:46:43

nervous to be around them because when they're

00:46:43 --> 00:46:45

around them, they might become Muslim too.

00:46:46 --> 00:46:49

When you start producing youth like that, then

00:46:49 --> 00:46:51

you see a change in the world.

00:46:51 --> 00:46:52

That's when you see a change in the

00:46:52 --> 00:46:54

world. It's actually this

00:46:55 --> 00:46:58

this human resource is actually the resource.

00:46:58 --> 00:47:00

And so with that, as we come closer

00:47:00 --> 00:47:02

to the end of the surah, listen to

00:47:02 --> 00:47:02

this.

00:47:08 --> 00:47:09

And even if the disbelievers were to fight

00:47:09 --> 00:47:11

you, they would turn their backs.

00:47:13 --> 00:47:15

They will not find any any anymore

00:47:16 --> 00:47:18

And any remember the word

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

So other than Allah they will not find

00:47:21 --> 00:47:23

any not just other than Allah, no tribe

00:47:23 --> 00:47:25

will be willing to help them anymore. There

00:47:25 --> 00:47:27

won't be any helpers for them anymore.

00:47:30 --> 00:47:32

This is the way Allah does things that

00:47:32 --> 00:47:33

has already come to pass so many times

00:47:33 --> 00:47:36

before. This is the way history works.

00:47:38 --> 00:47:40

You will not find a replacement for the

00:47:40 --> 00:47:42

legacy of Allah. This is the Allah's way

00:47:42 --> 00:47:44

of setting a legacy of histories for nations.

00:47:49 --> 00:47:51

And he's the one who stopped your hands

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

from reaching them and their hands from reaching

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

you at in the belly of Makkah. You

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

were you were right there in the heart

00:47:57 --> 00:47:59

of Makkah at Hudaybiyyah and they couldn't touch

00:47:59 --> 00:48:00

you and you couldn't touch them.

00:48:06 --> 00:48:08

Even though Allah made

00:48:08 --> 00:48:10

you * them. Meaning you had them within

00:48:10 --> 00:48:12

your grasp, but even then Allah held you

00:48:12 --> 00:48:15

back and Allah was watching everything you're doing.

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

By the way, the Muslims are angry at

00:48:18 --> 00:48:20

the kuffar. They got away with the deal.

00:48:20 --> 00:48:22

That looks like it's in their advantage. Now

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

Allah says, by the way, that's not because

00:48:24 --> 00:48:27

I favor them, the kuffar. Allah says,

00:48:28 --> 00:48:29

They're the ones that have disbelieved.

00:48:32 --> 00:48:33

And they're the ones that have stopped you

00:48:33 --> 00:48:34

from the sacred masjid.

00:48:37 --> 00:48:39

And they've stopped the sacred animal from reaching

00:48:39 --> 00:48:41

the place where it's supposed to be sacrificed.

00:48:42 --> 00:48:43

The animals weren't let to go where they're

00:48:43 --> 00:48:44

supposed to go.

00:48:49 --> 00:48:51

This is the ayah I'm gonna stop with

00:48:51 --> 00:48:52

today,

00:48:52 --> 00:48:54

because the rest of it is so heavy

00:48:54 --> 00:48:56

we have to maybe inshallah cover that tomorrow

00:48:56 --> 00:48:58

and and go to the next object. But

00:48:58 --> 00:49:00

this ayah, man, you really gotta understand this

00:49:00 --> 00:49:02

ayah. Allah says,

00:49:05 --> 00:49:07

Had it not been for believing men and

00:49:07 --> 00:49:09

believing women that you have never known?

00:49:11 --> 00:49:12

You've never met them.

00:49:13 --> 00:49:13

What?

00:49:14 --> 00:49:15

This is almost the end of the seerah.

00:49:15 --> 00:49:17

This is the 6th year of the hijrah.

00:49:18 --> 00:49:19

You know, there's only a few years before

00:49:19 --> 00:49:20

Mecca is conquered.

00:49:22 --> 00:49:23

And Allah is saying, by the way, there

00:49:23 --> 00:49:25

are men and women in Mecca

00:49:28 --> 00:49:31

after 13 years in Mecca, after Badr, after

00:49:31 --> 00:49:33

Uhud, after Ahzab and now Hudaybiyah.

00:49:34 --> 00:49:37

Now, there are believing men and women in

00:49:37 --> 00:49:39

Mecca that you have never known.

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

Secret Muslims.

00:49:42 --> 00:49:44

They're inside Makkah.

00:49:48 --> 00:49:49

There are Sahabis we don't even know.

00:49:50 --> 00:49:52

We don't even even the Prophet doesn't know

00:49:52 --> 00:49:53

their names.

00:49:55 --> 00:49:58

If war broke out, meaning Khudaybiya, Allah held

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

us back. Right? Allah held our hands back.

00:50:00 --> 00:50:01

Allah says, if

00:50:02 --> 00:50:05

war had broken out, you would have trampled

00:50:05 --> 00:50:07

all over them. You would have crushed believing

00:50:07 --> 00:50:08

men and women. You wouldn't have even known

00:50:08 --> 00:50:09

that they're

00:50:10 --> 00:50:12

believers. Because

00:50:12 --> 00:50:13

this is the difference between

00:50:14 --> 00:50:15

war on a battlefield

00:50:15 --> 00:50:18

and civilian war, war in a city. In

00:50:18 --> 00:50:21

a city, who's the casualty? Innocent people. And

00:50:21 --> 00:50:23

some of those people will even be believers

00:50:23 --> 00:50:24

and you won't even know.

00:50:25 --> 00:50:27

This is the Quran's way of commenting on

00:50:27 --> 00:50:31

our stands on waging war on civilian centers,

00:50:31 --> 00:50:32

populated centers.

00:50:33 --> 00:50:35

War is a matter of battlefields.

00:50:36 --> 00:50:38

War is not a matter of civilian populations.

00:50:38 --> 00:50:40

We don't target it because we don't know

00:50:40 --> 00:50:41

who's a believer.

00:50:45 --> 00:50:46

By the way, is Quraish,

00:50:47 --> 00:50:49

is Makka? All this time up until now,

00:50:49 --> 00:50:51

was Makka the enemy of Islam?

00:50:52 --> 00:50:52

Yeah.

00:50:53 --> 00:50:54

How many times have we gone to war

00:50:54 --> 00:50:55

with them?

00:50:56 --> 00:50:57

3. And if you wanna count

00:50:57 --> 00:50:58

4.

00:50:59 --> 00:51:00

You've gone to war with these people 4

00:51:00 --> 00:51:01

times,

00:51:01 --> 00:51:04

and you would think everyone in is what?

00:51:05 --> 00:51:05

Your enemy.

00:51:06 --> 00:51:08

Everyone of them is your enemy.

00:51:08 --> 00:51:10

And Allah is saying, No. There are believing

00:51:10 --> 00:51:13

men and women inside Makkah that you've never

00:51:13 --> 00:51:13

even known.

00:51:14 --> 00:51:16

And if you were to attack Makkah, you

00:51:16 --> 00:51:17

would end up crushing them.

00:51:22 --> 00:51:24

And when that would happen, there would be

00:51:24 --> 00:51:25

an ugliness

00:51:28 --> 00:51:30

would take over your faces and you wouldn't

00:51:30 --> 00:51:32

even know. There would be an ugliness that

00:51:32 --> 00:51:33

would be cast on you because you killed

00:51:33 --> 00:51:34

fellow believers.

00:51:35 --> 00:51:37

And you wouldn't even know it.

00:51:38 --> 00:51:39

And so Allah says, that's why I didn't

00:51:39 --> 00:51:40

let the fight happen.

00:51:41 --> 00:51:43

You wanted to fight with every ounce of

00:51:43 --> 00:51:46

blood in your coursing through your veins. You

00:51:46 --> 00:51:47

wanted to kill.

00:51:47 --> 00:51:50

The prophet was agreeing to a peace deal.

00:51:50 --> 00:51:52

You didn't want peace. And Allah says, and

00:51:52 --> 00:51:54

if things went your way, you would have

00:51:54 --> 00:51:56

killed innocent believers.

00:51:56 --> 00:51:58

And there would have been an ugly scar,

00:51:58 --> 00:51:59

a spiritual

00:51:59 --> 00:52:01

scar on you that would have never left,

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

and you wouldn't have even known.

00:52:03 --> 00:52:05

Allah saved you from yourself.

00:52:11 --> 00:52:12

And then he says

00:52:16 --> 00:52:17

I, Allah, did all of this so he

00:52:17 --> 00:52:20

can enter into his rahma whoever he wants.

00:52:20 --> 00:52:21

What does that mean?

00:52:23 --> 00:52:25

That means that not only are there believers

00:52:25 --> 00:52:26

there now,

00:52:27 --> 00:52:30

there are other non Muslim Maqans

00:52:31 --> 00:52:32

that will be entering Islam

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

very shortly.

00:52:35 --> 00:52:37

And if this fight happened, they would never

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

have been entered into the rahma of Allah.

00:52:39 --> 00:52:41

What's the rahma of Allah? Islam.

00:52:42 --> 00:52:44

And Allah intends that even more people should

00:52:44 --> 00:52:46

enter into Islam, and that's why he didn't

00:52:46 --> 00:52:47

let you fight.

00:52:51 --> 00:52:52

Whoever he wants.

00:52:55 --> 00:52:57

And had they been completely distinguished. Let me

00:52:57 --> 00:52:59

let me, I used to drink a lot

00:52:59 --> 00:53:00

of chocolate milk so I can give you

00:53:00 --> 00:53:02

a chocolate milk analogy. You got the milk,

00:53:02 --> 00:53:04

you got the poison powder.

00:53:05 --> 00:53:07

And once you mix it, they become 1.

00:53:08 --> 00:53:09

They become 1.

00:53:10 --> 00:53:11

If you were to be able to separate

00:53:12 --> 00:53:13

the milk and the chocolate powder,

00:53:15 --> 00:53:16

separate the 2, that would be tazayul.

00:53:17 --> 00:53:20

Tazayul means all the all this powder is

00:53:20 --> 00:53:23

here, all the milk is here. They're completely

00:53:23 --> 00:53:24

separate from each other.

00:53:24 --> 00:53:25

Allah says,

00:53:26 --> 00:53:27

if the city of Mecca,

00:53:29 --> 00:53:32

if they were separated, meaning the believers have

00:53:32 --> 00:53:32

their neighborhood,

00:53:33 --> 00:53:35

all the people that secretly have iman or

00:53:35 --> 00:53:38

potentially will become Muslims are on this side

00:53:38 --> 00:53:40

of the street, and all the hard line

00:53:40 --> 00:53:42

kuffar that will die kuffar

00:53:43 --> 00:53:44

are on this side of the street. If

00:53:44 --> 00:53:45

that was the case,

00:53:46 --> 00:53:47

had that been the case,

00:53:51 --> 00:53:53

We would've punished those who disbelieved among them

00:53:53 --> 00:53:53

ourselves

00:53:54 --> 00:53:55

with a painful punishment.

00:53:57 --> 00:53:59

Allah is telling us, why doesn't he destroy

00:53:59 --> 00:53:59

Makkah?

00:54:00 --> 00:54:02

Because the population is mixed.

00:54:04 --> 00:54:04

That's why.

00:54:05 --> 00:54:08

You see, when people are very angry with

00:54:08 --> 00:54:09

American foreign policy.

00:54:11 --> 00:54:12

And then Ramadan is gonna come

00:54:13 --> 00:54:14

Allah.

00:54:17 --> 00:54:18

Right?

00:54:24 --> 00:54:24

You know,

00:54:25 --> 00:54:27

show show them a sign, you Allah. Show

00:54:27 --> 00:54:28

them what you showed, Firaun.

00:54:29 --> 00:54:31

Drop their planes.

00:54:32 --> 00:54:34

You're standing there. You got a flight next

00:54:34 --> 00:54:36

week and you're like, oh, I mean

00:54:43 --> 00:54:44

Is America one thing?

00:54:45 --> 00:54:47

Is Canada one thing?

00:54:48 --> 00:54:51

You know, if you think about it,

00:54:51 --> 00:54:53

you know, I don't like Chinese policy

00:54:54 --> 00:54:55

against the Uyghur Muslims.

00:54:56 --> 00:54:56

But is China

00:54:57 --> 00:54:58

one mind?

00:54:58 --> 00:55:01

Is it one popular is there a tzayil,

00:55:01 --> 00:55:03

there's the kuffar completely separated from the believers?

00:55:03 --> 00:55:05

Is that the case? Or is there a

00:55:05 --> 00:55:05

mix?

00:55:07 --> 00:55:09

And are there people that may enter into

00:55:09 --> 00:55:10

Allah's mercy?

00:55:13 --> 00:55:14

And there are people that are non believers

00:55:14 --> 00:55:16

now but have the potential of becoming believers.

00:55:17 --> 00:55:18

Is that the case?

00:55:19 --> 00:55:20

When that's the case,

00:55:20 --> 00:55:22

then Allah does not destroy a nation. And

00:55:24 --> 00:55:26

when the kuffar are completely separated from the

00:55:26 --> 00:55:29

believers, then Allah has no problem annihilating what

00:55:29 --> 00:55:30

is a burden on this earth.

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

Through and through kufar.

00:55:33 --> 00:55:36

No reason to keep an wasteful organic matter

00:55:36 --> 00:55:37

above the ground.

00:55:38 --> 00:55:40

It's better off feeding the soil.

00:55:41 --> 00:55:43

That's why the believers leave a nation and

00:55:43 --> 00:55:44

then the flood comes.

00:55:45 --> 00:55:47

The believers leave a nation and then and

00:55:47 --> 00:55:50

then the the fire the fire of rain,

00:55:50 --> 00:55:52

you know, or the rain of fire rather,

00:55:52 --> 00:55:53

the earthquake.

00:55:54 --> 00:55:55

That's when the believers are all gone.

00:55:58 --> 00:56:00

There was not a single household of believers

00:56:00 --> 00:56:02

left or Muslims left. That's when destruction comes.

00:56:03 --> 00:56:04

But now,

00:56:05 --> 00:56:07

nations will not be destroyed the way they

00:56:07 --> 00:56:09

used to be destroyed in the past ever

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

again because we will always be what kinds

00:56:11 --> 00:56:12

of societies?

00:56:13 --> 00:56:13

Mixed societies.

00:56:14 --> 00:56:17

And the 1st mixed society that was spared

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

from destruction was Mecca itself.

00:56:19 --> 00:56:21

Because in the story of all the prophets,

00:56:21 --> 00:56:23

what happens at the end of those stories?

00:56:23 --> 00:56:25

Then the city in which they were gets

00:56:25 --> 00:56:26

destroyed, isn't it?

00:56:27 --> 00:56:29

Isn't that happened with Lut alaihis salaam? Isn't

00:56:29 --> 00:56:31

that what happened with new Alaihi Salam was

00:56:31 --> 00:56:33

sali. Alaihi Salam was you. You saw it

00:56:33 --> 00:56:34

over and over again. Right?

00:56:34 --> 00:56:36

Why is that happening with Makkah?

00:56:36 --> 00:56:38

Because of this

00:56:45 --> 00:56:47

ayah. This is also teaching us that our

00:56:47 --> 00:56:49

attitude towards an entire country

00:56:50 --> 00:56:50

as one

00:56:51 --> 00:56:52

is

00:56:52 --> 00:56:53

anti quranic.

00:56:55 --> 00:56:57

We cannot think of America as one thing.

00:56:57 --> 00:56:59

We cannot think of Pakistan as one thing.

00:56:59 --> 00:57:01

We cannot think of India as one thing.

00:57:01 --> 00:57:03

We cannot you know, Pakistanis like to think

00:57:03 --> 00:57:05

of India as one thing.

00:57:05 --> 00:57:06

You

00:57:06 --> 00:57:07

know?

00:57:07 --> 00:57:09

Afghanis like to think of Pakistanis as one

00:57:09 --> 00:57:10

thing.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:11

I know.

00:57:13 --> 00:57:13

You know?

00:57:15 --> 00:57:16

The the the the Malay Malaysians like to

00:57:16 --> 00:57:19

think of the Indian Malaysians as one thing.

00:57:20 --> 00:57:21

What's going on?

00:57:22 --> 00:57:24

They they, you know, they people like to

00:57:24 --> 00:57:24

simplify.

00:57:25 --> 00:57:27

And so long as you can stereotype all

00:57:27 --> 00:57:29

of them as just kufar, kafir nation,

00:57:30 --> 00:57:33

then it's easier to dehumanize. Right? And when

00:57:33 --> 00:57:35

it's the first step is dehumanize, the second

00:57:35 --> 00:57:36

second step is mass slaughter.

00:57:37 --> 00:57:39

And Allah is preventing a genocide from happening

00:57:39 --> 00:57:40

in the sayyad. Do you see that?

00:57:41 --> 00:57:43

It's it's actually an ayah preventing genocide.

00:57:47 --> 00:57:49

And by the way, even if they were

00:57:50 --> 00:57:50

disbelievers,

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

you wouldn't have to destroy them. What did

00:57:52 --> 00:57:53

Allah say in this ayah?

00:57:57 --> 00:57:58

We would've punished them ourselves with a painful

00:57:58 --> 00:58:01

punishment. I would've dealt with them. That's Allah's

00:58:01 --> 00:58:02

sunnah, isn't it?

00:58:02 --> 00:58:04

Allah's sunnah is when there's only purely kuffar

00:58:04 --> 00:58:06

left, He deals with them Himself.

00:58:07 --> 00:58:08

You know,

00:58:09 --> 00:58:10

like even

00:58:11 --> 00:58:12

got sunk into the earth.

00:58:13 --> 00:58:15

This is the principle that the Muslims were

00:58:15 --> 00:58:15

taught.

00:58:16 --> 00:58:18

And from here on, if they can't even

00:58:18 --> 00:58:20

think of maqah, who they who have ward

00:58:20 --> 00:58:22

with the rusul of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa

00:58:22 --> 00:58:23

sallam 3 times,

00:58:23 --> 00:58:25

who expelled the Prophet, who tried to kill

00:58:25 --> 00:58:27

the Prophet of Allah, and you can't even

00:58:27 --> 00:58:28

oversimplify

00:58:28 --> 00:58:29

the

00:58:29 --> 00:58:31

population of Makkah, and you can't just say

00:58:31 --> 00:58:33

all the people in Makkah or Kufar, you

00:58:33 --> 00:58:35

don't even get to say that, how will

00:58:35 --> 00:58:37

you ever say that about any other nation

00:58:37 --> 00:58:38

on this planet?

00:58:39 --> 00:58:40

How will the Muslims ever say that about

00:58:40 --> 00:58:42

anybody else? If there was one nation you

00:58:42 --> 00:58:43

could say that about, it would have been

00:58:43 --> 00:58:44

the people of Makkah.

00:58:45 --> 00:58:47

That would've been that would've been a license.

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

Allah took that license away

00:58:49 --> 00:58:50

at the end of hadayiya.

00:58:51 --> 00:58:53

So by the So in the beginning as

00:58:53 --> 00:58:55

we were making this peace treaty, we were

00:58:55 --> 00:58:55

really upset.

00:58:56 --> 00:58:58

But as the wisdom of the Quran dawns

00:58:58 --> 00:58:58

on us,

00:58:59 --> 00:59:02

we realize this peace treaty is not just

00:59:02 --> 00:59:03

favoring the kuffar.

00:59:04 --> 00:59:07

Actually, it's hurting the kuffar. It's bringing about

00:59:07 --> 00:59:09

lots of benefits for other regions that we

00:59:09 --> 00:59:11

can now focus on. But more importantly,

00:59:12 --> 00:59:15

there are people inside Mecca that we want

00:59:15 --> 00:59:15

to benefit.

00:59:16 --> 00:59:18

Even though we've gone to war with Mecca

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

multiple times, there are people inside Mecca that

00:59:21 --> 00:59:22

we must benefit.

00:59:23 --> 00:59:25

And they're beneficiaries of this treaty.

00:59:26 --> 00:59:27

SubhanAllah.

00:59:28 --> 00:59:30

We are taught to look at things now

00:59:30 --> 00:59:31

not in black and white.

00:59:32 --> 00:59:34

We're taught to look at things in gray,

00:59:34 --> 00:59:36

understand multiple perspectives,

00:59:36 --> 00:59:39

especially for the younger men here, particularly for

00:59:39 --> 00:59:41

the younger men here. I'm I'm I'm I'm

00:59:41 --> 00:59:43

I'm asking you to develop a nuanced view

00:59:43 --> 00:59:44

of world events.

00:59:45 --> 00:59:46

I don't want you to look at one

00:59:46 --> 00:59:49

sound bite, one fiery speech. If they do

00:59:49 --> 00:59:50

this, we will do this.

00:59:51 --> 00:59:53

I wanna watch more of this stuff. This

00:59:53 --> 00:59:54

stuff is so good.

00:59:54 --> 00:59:56

I love this guy. He's so loud.

00:59:57 --> 00:59:59

He's so angry. The louder you get, the

00:59:59 --> 01:00:02

less nuance you have. The less multiple perspectives

01:00:02 --> 01:00:04

you're you're taking in.

01:00:04 --> 01:00:06

Did you notice that in this surah, Allah

01:00:06 --> 01:00:08

gave us a perspective of the outside region,

01:00:08 --> 01:00:10

He gave us a perspective of the munafiqun,

01:00:10 --> 01:00:12

He gave us a perspective of the believers

01:00:12 --> 01:00:14

we don't even know, He gave us perspective

01:00:14 --> 01:00:16

of the kuffar, He gave us a spiritual

01:00:16 --> 01:00:19

perspective, the emotional. Were there multiple perspectives in

01:00:19 --> 01:00:20

1 ayah, 1 month surah?

01:00:21 --> 01:00:23

What is Allah teaching us? Look at things

01:00:23 --> 01:00:24

in 360 degrees.

01:00:25 --> 01:00:27

Try to understand as many perspectives as possible

01:00:27 --> 01:00:29

before you form a judgment,

01:00:29 --> 01:00:31

before you say this is what's really going

01:00:31 --> 01:00:32

on.

01:00:32 --> 01:00:34

And you know people who refuse to do

01:00:34 --> 01:00:36

that? People that have already made up their

01:00:36 --> 01:00:36

mind.

01:00:38 --> 01:00:40

When people have already made up their mind,

01:00:40 --> 01:00:41

they even want to bend the Quran to

01:00:41 --> 01:00:42

their will.

01:00:43 --> 01:00:45

Right? I'm angry, I wanna justify my anger.

01:00:45 --> 01:00:47

So even if this ayah is saying, hey,

01:00:47 --> 01:00:48

here's the reasons for you not to No.

01:00:48 --> 01:00:52

But still though, shouldn't assign the true to

01:00:52 --> 01:00:53

you. I mean, I know the ayah and

01:00:53 --> 01:00:55

stuff but, like, come on.

01:00:58 --> 01:00:59

Do you see the way they talk about

01:00:59 --> 01:01:00

us? You see don't you see what they

01:01:00 --> 01:01:03

did? You know what this person is doing?

01:01:03 --> 01:01:04

This person has an anger in their heart

01:01:05 --> 01:01:07

and that anger has become a lock on

01:01:07 --> 01:01:10

their heart and that lock is even keeping

01:01:10 --> 01:01:13

them from contemplating the Quran. Allah says,

01:01:17 --> 01:01:20

don't they contemplate the Quran or do their

01:01:20 --> 01:01:21

hearts have their own locks on them? If

01:01:21 --> 01:01:22

you have a preconceived

01:01:23 --> 01:01:26

bias, an anger, a rage, a frustration, a

01:01:26 --> 01:01:28

fear, anything, any kind of bias,

01:01:29 --> 01:01:31

then it's gonna keep you from actually benefiting

01:01:31 --> 01:01:33

from the word of Allah. Even if you

01:01:33 --> 01:01:35

hear the clear word of Allah, you'll say

01:01:35 --> 01:01:36

at the end of it, but the way

01:01:36 --> 01:01:37

I feel though,

01:01:39 --> 01:01:40

but don't you think that

01:01:42 --> 01:01:43

if the ayah if the understanding of the

01:01:43 --> 01:01:46

ayah is incorrect, that's something else. If there's

01:01:46 --> 01:01:47

another aya we should think about, that's something

01:01:47 --> 01:01:49

else. If there's another hadith of the prophet

01:01:49 --> 01:01:50

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, we should think about,

01:01:50 --> 01:01:52

that's something else. But if it's your feelings,

01:01:52 --> 01:01:55

and your feelings are dictating which ayaat should

01:01:55 --> 01:01:57

be studied, then that bias is a problem

01:01:57 --> 01:01:58

we have to eliminate.

01:01:59 --> 01:02:01

That bias is a serious problem we have

01:02:01 --> 01:02:02

to eliminate. And the last thing I'll share

01:02:02 --> 01:02:05

with you for today insha'Allah is just just

01:02:05 --> 01:02:06

that about history.

01:02:06 --> 01:02:08

I I'm being as honest with you as

01:02:08 --> 01:02:10

I can as as a student of the

01:02:10 --> 01:02:12

Quran, as a student of Islam.

01:02:14 --> 01:02:16

I don't think I understand

01:02:17 --> 01:02:19

the first 50 years of Islam,

01:02:20 --> 01:02:22

meaning the last 5 years of the prophet

01:02:22 --> 01:02:22

salallahu alaihi wa sallam,

01:02:23 --> 01:02:26

and the first 45, 40 to 50 years

01:02:26 --> 01:02:28

of after the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

01:02:28 --> 01:02:30

I don't understand them well enough.

01:02:31 --> 01:02:33

I'm realizing that more and more that I

01:02:33 --> 01:02:36

study Islam, I realize I don't understand those

01:02:36 --> 01:02:37

first 50 years well enough.

01:02:38 --> 01:02:39

And the reason I don't understand them is

01:02:39 --> 01:02:41

because I'm seeing a massive

01:02:42 --> 01:02:44

every time I get a glimpse from those

01:02:44 --> 01:02:47

50, something new is added, my perspective completely

01:02:47 --> 01:02:47

changes,

01:02:48 --> 01:02:49

completely.

01:02:49 --> 01:02:50

And I'm like, I don't know enough. I

01:02:50 --> 01:02:51

need I need more. I need I need

01:02:51 --> 01:02:53

to dig more. I need to dig more.

01:02:53 --> 01:02:54

I need to dig more. I need to

01:02:54 --> 01:02:55

understand more.

01:02:55 --> 01:02:57

And that's what I'm trying to do for

01:02:57 --> 01:02:57

myself,

01:02:58 --> 01:02:59

just for myself

01:02:59 --> 01:03:02

because there's a there's a simplistic view of

01:03:02 --> 01:03:03

history that's like 2 dimensional.

01:03:04 --> 01:03:06

Right? And then there's like, I really wanna

01:03:06 --> 01:03:08

understand what what the reality was of the

01:03:08 --> 01:03:09

situation.

01:03:09 --> 01:03:11

I wanna take a deeper dive into the

01:03:11 --> 01:03:14

situation and understand it as comprehensively

01:03:14 --> 01:03:15

as I can.

01:03:15 --> 01:03:18

And the reason I say this to you

01:03:18 --> 01:03:20

is just again, I'm being honest about my

01:03:20 --> 01:03:21

own journey

01:03:22 --> 01:03:24

in in the study of Islam.

01:03:25 --> 01:03:28

At some point in our history, Islam became

01:03:28 --> 01:03:29

really complicated.

01:03:31 --> 01:03:33

At some point in our history. And before

01:03:33 --> 01:03:34

that point in our history

01:03:36 --> 01:03:38

this is a few 100 years later. And

01:03:38 --> 01:03:39

before that point in our history, Islam was

01:03:39 --> 01:03:41

actually extremely,

01:03:42 --> 01:03:43

extremely simple.

01:03:44 --> 01:03:45

It was extremely simple.

01:03:45 --> 01:03:47

And we complicated it

01:03:48 --> 01:03:48

a lot.

01:03:49 --> 01:03:51

And the more I don't have to look

01:03:51 --> 01:03:54

ahead to find simplicity in Islam, I realize

01:03:54 --> 01:03:55

I have to look back

01:03:56 --> 01:03:57

to find simplicity in

01:03:58 --> 01:04:00

Islam, you know, and the the the clarity

01:04:00 --> 01:04:02

of this religion, the real clarity of this

01:04:02 --> 01:04:04

religion. And one of the two things that

01:04:04 --> 01:04:07

I feel that Muslims should really be focused

01:04:07 --> 01:04:10

on, 1 is history, a deep understanding of

01:04:10 --> 01:04:10

history,

01:04:11 --> 01:04:12

and 2 is a deep understanding of the

01:04:12 --> 01:04:14

Quran because the Quran just gets ignored.

01:04:14 --> 01:04:16

Honestly, the Quran just gets ignored.

01:04:17 --> 01:04:19

Like alhamdulillah, we're sitting here discussing a surah

01:04:19 --> 01:04:21

today, or some mayat of the surah, inshaAllah,

01:04:21 --> 01:04:23

we'll complete the surah tomorrow and discuss

01:04:23 --> 01:04:25

those two things. But really it's those two

01:04:25 --> 01:04:26

things as history and Quran.

01:04:27 --> 01:04:29

Right? That gives you the right foundation, the

01:04:29 --> 01:04:31

right perspective to build everything else on, to

01:04:32 --> 01:04:34

to understand things from,

01:04:34 --> 01:04:35

you know.

01:04:36 --> 01:04:38

What you should have questions about history. You

01:04:38 --> 01:04:40

should have questions like Abu Bakr as Siddiq

01:04:40 --> 01:04:42

radiAllahu anhu, who spent the most time with

01:04:42 --> 01:04:44

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, but said

01:04:44 --> 01:04:45

the least.

01:04:46 --> 01:04:48

Why isn't he saying anything?

01:04:49 --> 01:04:51

And Abu Hurayrah radhiallahu anhu

01:04:52 --> 01:04:53

who accepts Islam at khaybar

01:04:54 --> 01:04:55

after kadayiya.

01:04:56 --> 01:04:58

So he is with the Prophet maybe 3

01:04:58 --> 01:05:00

years and he has the most hadith of

01:05:00 --> 01:05:00

all.

01:05:02 --> 01:05:04

What's the difference? How do I make sense

01:05:04 --> 01:05:05

of that difference?

01:05:06 --> 01:05:08

What's happening in those 3 years? What are

01:05:08 --> 01:05:10

the Muslims experiencing in the This is important

01:05:10 --> 01:05:11

history. I need to understand.

01:05:12 --> 01:05:13

It's not enough for me to say, I

01:05:13 --> 01:05:14

found a hadith, you know,

01:05:16 --> 01:05:17

Okay.

01:05:18 --> 01:05:19

He said it. When did he say it?

01:05:19 --> 01:05:21

Who else was around?

01:05:21 --> 01:05:23

What was going on here? I I need

01:05:23 --> 01:05:23

to know more.

01:05:24 --> 01:05:25

Even

01:05:25 --> 01:05:27

with the simple oversimplified things you folks hear

01:05:27 --> 01:05:28

sometimes

01:05:28 --> 01:05:31

when you don't have the context, it's crazy.

01:05:31 --> 01:05:32

It's sometimes you hear things and you I

01:05:32 --> 01:05:34

don't I don't know how you make sense

01:05:34 --> 01:05:35

of it. I can't make sense of it.

01:05:35 --> 01:05:38

I go and, alhamdulillah, because I'm relatively famous,

01:05:38 --> 01:05:39

I have access to scholars,

01:05:40 --> 01:05:42

which is my cheat code. I just text,

01:05:42 --> 01:05:44

I I don't get it.

01:05:44 --> 01:05:45

I I I totally don't get this. Can

01:05:45 --> 01:05:46

you help me out here?

01:05:47 --> 01:05:48

You know?

01:05:48 --> 01:05:50

And so I can only imagine for the

01:05:50 --> 01:05:51

average Muslim what's happening,

01:05:52 --> 01:05:54

what confusions there are, right? Because I still

01:05:54 --> 01:05:55

have confusions. I still have questions

01:05:56 --> 01:05:57

as I as I as I explore in

01:05:57 --> 01:05:59

my journey. So my hope is through

01:05:59 --> 01:06:01

at least this journey, at least this piece

01:06:01 --> 01:06:02

of the seerah

01:06:03 --> 01:06:04

gets exposed a little bit. I also wanna

01:06:04 --> 01:06:06

give a lot of dua and a lot

01:06:06 --> 01:06:08

of credit to our dear beloved Sheikh Yasir

01:06:08 --> 01:06:09

Qadhi

01:06:09 --> 01:06:12

who's done an absolutely incredible series on the

01:06:12 --> 01:06:14

seerah. It's about a decade or more old.

01:06:14 --> 01:06:16

And I'm only sharing

01:06:16 --> 01:06:17

bits and pieces

01:06:18 --> 01:06:20

of the stuff that he shared in that

01:06:20 --> 01:06:22

series. It's much much more comprehensive.

01:06:22 --> 01:06:24

It's a proper proper

01:06:24 --> 01:06:27

multiple year effort. Like he he put, I

01:06:27 --> 01:06:29

think, 3 or 4 years full time

01:06:30 --> 01:06:31

into developing that series.

01:06:32 --> 01:06:34

May Allah make it a sadaqa jariyah for

01:06:34 --> 01:06:36

him. It's a really remarkable series. It's

01:06:37 --> 01:06:39

a it's a phenomenal phenomenal resource. And to

01:06:39 --> 01:06:40

this day, I listen to bits and pieces

01:06:40 --> 01:06:42

of it. Like for Hadibi, I was listening

01:06:42 --> 01:06:44

to Hadibi again. And then I'll read it

01:06:44 --> 01:06:47

to Ibn Hisham and other other silah sources.

01:06:47 --> 01:06:48

The difference between what I'm sharing with you

01:06:48 --> 01:06:50

and he's sharing is a lot of times

01:06:50 --> 01:06:52

he'll summarize the narration. And I I like

01:06:52 --> 01:06:54

to read the narration itself to

01:06:55 --> 01:06:56

you, and then try to translate that for

01:06:56 --> 01:06:58

you. Right? So the easy he's trying to

01:06:58 --> 01:07:00

simplify that portion of it. But

01:07:00 --> 01:07:03

the the the work is absolutely incredible. It's

01:07:03 --> 01:07:04

really, really incredible. And I think it's one

01:07:04 --> 01:07:05

of those things that,

01:07:06 --> 01:07:08

you know, you should familiarize your kids with.

01:07:08 --> 01:07:10

It's a resource available on YouTube. There's no

01:07:10 --> 01:07:12

reason you shouldn't be taking advantage of it,

01:07:12 --> 01:07:14

inshallah. And even if it takes you a

01:07:14 --> 01:07:15

couple of years to go through it little

01:07:15 --> 01:07:18

by little, it's something that would completely transform

01:07:18 --> 01:07:19

your perspective on,

01:07:19 --> 01:07:21

the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

01:07:21 --> 01:07:21

sallam. And

01:07:22 --> 01:07:24

the the the thing that's missing then is

01:07:24 --> 01:07:25

the seerah on the one side and the

01:07:25 --> 01:07:26

study of Quran on the

01:07:33 --> 01:07:33

books

01:07:34 --> 01:07:36

is the history according

01:07:36 --> 01:07:37

to people.

01:07:38 --> 01:07:41

And then the Quran is that same history

01:07:41 --> 01:07:44

according to the to Allah. Right? Allah this

01:07:44 --> 01:07:45

is this is the seerah, actually.

01:07:46 --> 01:07:49

This is 23 years of the Prophet's life,

01:07:49 --> 01:07:51

alayhi salatu salam. Right? That's what this is.

01:07:51 --> 01:07:51

So

01:07:52 --> 01:07:53

your your reading of the Quran

01:07:54 --> 01:07:56

dramatically changes when you do that. May Allah

01:07:56 --> 01:07:58

benefit all of you. We'll

01:07:58 --> 01:07:59

wrap up our

01:08:07 --> 01:08:09

that are interested on top of the students

01:08:09 --> 01:08:11

we have in studying the Quran and its

01:08:11 --> 01:08:13

meanings and being able to learn that and

01:08:13 --> 01:08:15

share that with family and friends and they

01:08:15 --> 01:08:17

need sponsorships which is not very expensive. So

01:08:17 --> 01:08:19

if you can help sponsor students

01:08:19 --> 01:08:21

on Bayinah TV, please do so and visit

01:08:21 --> 01:08:23

our sponsorship page. I appreciate it so much

01:08:23 --> 01:08:24

and pray that Allah gives our mission success

01:08:24 --> 01:08:26

and we're able to share the meanings of

01:08:26 --> 01:08:28

the Quran and the beauty of it the

01:08:28 --> 01:08:29

world over.
