Allah has now given the Prophet a directive.
What's the directive? These people, since they didn't
come with you to or
to this umra dream,
As a result, they may not they are
not allowed to join you in battle.
Because it proves they're not willing to die
on the battlefield.
And if you're not willing willing to die
on the battlefield,
you are a liability on the battlefield not
an asset. Because when things get difficult, what's
gonna be expected from these people?

Everyone,
The
ayah now says the the the Quran is
now going to change the subject to a
group called Al Muhallafun.
Al Muhallafun means the people who got left
behind,
the people who stayed behind and did not
join the fight
or join this this,
fulfilling of the dream of the prophet
when he's heading towards Mecca.
And this Surah has already been revealed before
the Muslims have reached back to Madinah.
And Allah is now telling the prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam the conversations that are going
to happen when he gets there,
and what those people are going to say.
So they're gonna say something and Allah already
knows what they're gonna say, and he's telling
the prophet ahead of time.
From the Arabs,
from the Arab towns,
those that were held back, meaning something held
them back, their cowardice held them back, their
their evil intentions held them back, or maybe
even Allah as a punishment held them back.
Those people that were held back from among
the Arabs are going to say,
our moneys and our Meaning our businesses
and our families
made us too busy to go.
It's interesting
they
don't
say
We became busy because of our businesses and
our families. They said, our families made us
busy,
and our money made us busy. So it's
not we that were busy. The the it's
the business's fault, and it's
the family's fault. They got us too busy.
So this is this is in Balakha, they
call this the concept of the and
the. You know, so what are you attributing
it to? They didn't attribute the business to
themselves.
They attributed the business to the the the
money and the children.
Because, yeah, what can I do? Business and
money and family, too many obligations. That's why
I couldn't come with you.
So,
therefore, pray for our forgiveness. By the way,
when the prophet was gonna pray for their
forgiveness,
it's gonna be public.
And that's gonna mean that these people are
endorsed because when the Rasulullah
makes dua for someone,
they're kind of they got a green check
on them. Right? They're they're authenticated.
Right? So this is their way of passing
the old people might not think that because
the prophet himself prayed for us. So this
is it's not that they're interested in istighfar,
they're interested in not losing their credibility
among people. That's actually what this is about.
So they're gonna come and say
this
to you. They will say with their tongues
what is not in their hearts. In other
words, now Allah is teaching us there are
people in Madinah but also in life
that are interested. They look like they're asking
for something in religion, but it has nothing
to do with religion. It has to do
with their social standing.
So the religion is just being used as
a social cover for a certain kind of
appearance among their peers, among their group, among
their network, or whatever.
Posturing or the positioning yourself
or the projecting yourself
as righteous,
as endorsed.
This is a psychology that permeates in many,
many societies.
Right? And the the more someone is afraid
of being called out,
the more they have to put themselves in
a religious disguise.
So you might find sometimes
that some of the worst people you'll ever
meet look extremely
religious.
So some of the worst people you'll ever
meet,
the
back stabbing, cheating in business, not giving the
to the wife, denying inheritance,
running all kinds of haram business, not giving
the borrowed money back, slandering,
cheating, lie You name it. All the wrongs,
all the unethical stuff,
but they'll look really religious, meaning they'll like
pray
and they're gonna go like,
you know, any chance they get to sort
of show that they're doing something Islamic,
you know,
you know, the clothing,
the appearance, very, very religious. Right? And then
what that does is for the average muslim
like these religious people are crazy, man. They're
really messed up people.
Like, how come I meet people that don't
have, you know, they don't have that religious
appearance but they're much nicer and these religious
people are so messed up. Actually, it's not
because they're religious. It's exactly the opposite. It's
because they're not religious,
but they use religion as a disguise.
They use it as a cover
and then they operate with, you know, with
whatever they operate.
Right? So this is actually something very common.
The most glaring example of that that I
I cannot talk about enough
because
it's happening in the billion. A 100 of
millions of people are doing this. It's wild
to me.
So the the South Asia and Southeast Asia,
for example, so India, Pakistan, Bangladesh,
Nepal, and you keep going. And for example,
now Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,
you know,
you know, you have Sri Lanka and you
have
this region is actually the majority of human
beings on the planet.
That that region, South Asia and Southeast Asia
together is actually the most dense population of
human beings on the on the earth,
and interestingly, also one of the most dense
population of Muslims on the planet.
So let's talk about the Muslims for a
second.
When a woman gets, divorced, like a husband
and wife had an argument, the guy said,
kalaq.
Or if you're in Pakistan, it doesn't count
until you say it 3 times. Because there
some idiot taught them that you have to
say it 3 times. So they say they
they can't even say it one time. They
go, that didn't count.
Now once he does it,
what happens to the girl?
The wife.
He calls the girl's house and says, hey,
I'm done with your daughter.
Take her away.
She's not my wife anymore. I give her
talaq.
Normal.
Happens when millions and millions of families.
Suratul Ta'laq and by the way, the guy
is religious. Got a big old beard, went
to Hajj last year, took even took a
selfie, an Islamic selfie,
like all of it.
The Quran revealed Surat Altaq.
It's been a long time since the Quran
was revealed. It's not hiding somewhere.
And the Quran says,
When you give women,
then give them until the end of their
period, which is 3 menstrual cycles.
Make sure you complete the period cycles.
Listen carefully. Don't expel them from their own
homes.
In those 3 months, even if the house
is in your name, bro,
it for those 3 months, it is her
house.
Even if you were never good to her
in your life,
for those 3 months, she's not your guest.
She not living in your house. It's her
house and Allah gave her full rights.
Do not expel them from their homes.
And they may not leave either.
They shouldn't leave either.
So for 3 cycles, she shouldn't leave and
he shouldn't kick her out.
Okay?
Then the guy says, Okay fine. I won't
kick her out. Plus it doesn't mean I'm
gonna make it easy for her.
I'll just cut off the electricity.
I'll just turn off the water.
There's no ayah that says keep the electricity.
Right?
Allah says,
He says, do not cause them any harm
that makes them feel any discomfort.
Now he has
causing them harm.
So they feel discomfort inside. Meaning, you now
have to not only not allow any physical
harm to happen to her, you have to
make sure she's not emotionally hurt by anything
you do.
Even though you're getting divorced because clearly you
couldn't handle each other emotionally,
in this time you are better than you've
ever been because Allah said, You have now
entered my time.
When you enter the idah,
before the idah period, you were husband and
wife that was between you and you and
your wife. The moment you pronounce talaq,
it's not you and your wife, it's you,
Allah, and then your wife. You're not dealing
with her, you're dealing with Allah. And Allah
says, This is not your time, this is
my time, I gave her this edda. And
you will treat her like I'm telling you
to treat her. Before then, you can be
friends, you can do whatever, you can get
upset with each other sometimes, whatever. That's between
husband and wife, But not in those 3
months.
For those 3 months. Now you tell me,
religious Muslim families,
hijabs, beards, the whole 9 yard. And the
hijabi mother who teaches a halaqa every Saturday
is saying, Get out of our house, that's
my son's house.
And then on the weekend, she's gonna do
a halakah on tafsirasuluttaqaq.
You don't see this?
Like
what religion is this?
What religion is this?
A lot of a lot of focus on,
hey, did you where did you get the
chicken from? Is this halal chicken? Is this
zabi halal? Is this super zabi halal? Is
the knife halal? Is the guy halal? Is
his hand halal?
How halal is the halal?
This you really gotta make sure it's halal.
But all this haram you're openly doing, mocking
the ayat of Allah,
no problem.
No problem. There's no issue.
The guy is making he's going to check,
make sure, hey, brother brother, your pants are
a little bit before below your ankles.
If it's below the ankles, it's in the
fire.
Same guy who still hasn't given his wife
a bath.
Same dude.
What?
Same guy who hasn't given his sister the
share of the inheritance when the father died.
Same guy.
I what I know. I don't understand it.
You know what happens to these people? They
take some parts of the religion,
and they say, this is Islam for me.
So long as people because this is what
people see. People can see the pants above
the ankles.
People can see the size of my beard.
People can see the hijab on my head.
People can see that. So long as they
see that I'm religious, that's good enough for
me.
What I do behind that, what games I
play with the religion, in matters of money,
in matters of earning, in matters of halal
and haram, in matters of anybody else's rights,
and
that doesn't matter.
That's okay because people don't see that.
People won't see it.
Sometimes I've met people, the the family
I'm I'm not a counselor. But sometimes people
tell me things thinking I'm some kind of
counselor. I'm not. Please stop telling me stuff.
Come and tell me my husband does this.
He he beats his kids and he's very
angry person and can you please talk to
him? He has a very serious anger problem.
I was like, cool.
Okay.
Do I know him? Yeah. You know him.
He comes to the masjid all the time.
I do?
I don't know any angry people.
Then I meet the guy.
How are you?
I'm like, how do you become from this?
You beat your kids,
bro?
There's someone else completely in public
and someone else entirely when the door closes
in the house.
Entirely different.
And this is actually these people
they want to keep a religious appearance.
And what's the best way to keep a
religious appearance?
Come to the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam,
give an excuse and ask the prophet to
make dua for you. When the prophet makes
dua for you, everybody will think, well, the
rasool salallahu alaihi wa sallam made dua for
this person, this must be a good person.
Allah says,
They say with their tongues what is not
in their hearts.
The word alsina is used for eloquent speech,
meaning they're very good at convincing.
They're very good with their words.
If you say,
it means they run their mouth.
That means they say stupid things too.
But means they're very sharp. They're very strategic
in what they say.
So they they're very sharp with what their
tongues but they say with their tongues what
is not actually in their hearts.
Tell them in response.
Who will who who is going to have
any authority to
keep you from any kind of harm that
comes from Allah? In arada become darran, oh
arada become nafaan. If Allah intends to harm
you in any way or Allah intends to
benefit you in any way, who will have
control before you
against Allah?
Actually, Allah has had full account of everything
you've been doing. Allah knows about everything that
you've been up to.
Actually the reality is
you were completely convinced
You were completely convinced
that the Messenger
and the believers are not going to be
coming back to their families ever again. You
were the same people that were really convinced
that the Prophet and the believers are going
to die. That's why you didn't come. Not
because your families were kept keeping you busy,
not because your business was keeping you busy,
because you thought they're never gonna come back,
they're gonna die.
And the thought of that was beautified in
your hearts.
You love the idea that they would die.
But when you saw them coming,
earlier in the surah. It tortures the hypocrites
when they see the Prophet surviving and coming
back.
And now they have to come up with
a new plan to keep save face. And
this was their plan to save face. Allah
already told the prophet
they're gonna try to play this game with
you. I'm letting you know their entire their
entire gameplay, their entire strategy.
So he says,
and you had made the worst kinds of
assumptions.
Burah has multiple meanings. One of its meanings
is you are a people that have always
been empty on the inside.
And bur means khaliyah.
Bura halia.
Bur also means dead like a market is
dead is barat is suk.
Okay. A sukbur
means the the there's no customers in store.
It's all empty.
You know, like, like malls nowadays a lot
of times are just dead,
like dead market spaces.
Right? So they're they're called also.
Also means something that's tested. You are a
people that have been tested and have failed.
You are a people that are hollow and
empty on the inside.
You are people that are spiritually dead.
And whoever never believed in Allah and the
messenger to begin with, his messenger to begin
with, fa inna aatadanaal
kafirina saiira and we have prepared a blazing
fire for disbelievers.
They're not even being called
anymore. What are they being called?
Disbelievers.
There's an escalation. We went from to
because the
even though socially they're Muslims, spiritually they're kafir.
This is a spiritual label. You can declare
them kufar
but Allah is describing their spiritual reality.
However, Allah
alone owns the kingdom of the skies and
the earth.
He can cover up and forgive whoever he
wants.
He can cover up your sins and forgive
or whoever he wants.
And he can punish whoever he wants. By
the way, you know the word,
interesting word,
which we translate as punishment or torture.
Actually comes from,
And adb means sweetness. And adab is,
which means to remove all pleasure.
Like there's no joy left is actually adab.
So it's it's as if the kind of
pain that makes you forget there was ever
anything called pleasure.
That's actually called adab.
Is one of the very intense words in
the Arabic language. So
you
and Allah has always been extremely forgiving, always
loving and caring. In other words, Allah is
saying, even though you've been really messed up,
Allah can forgive anything even now.
Even now you have a chance to make
make your way back.
And these people who were held back will
speak out again. They will also say,
when you march forward to
great piles of wealth that you're just going
to take. Let me explain what this means
in simple English. The Muslims are being told
in this ayah. The Rasool SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
is being told that when you go back,
you are going to march to a place
where you're going to make a lot of
wealth. What is that referring to? Khaybar.
Khaybar
hasn't happened yet. We haven't even made our
way back to Madinah yet. But Allah has
already revealed you're gonna be going.
In that in towards
towards wealth that you're just going to take.
By the way, Allah didn't say you're going
to a battle.
Allah said you're going to great piles of
wealth
and you're going to take it. What does
that mean? It's almost as though it's lying
there waiting for you to take it. Almost
as though it's not even gonna be a
real fight.
It's not gonna be like
and all of that. Right? So even Allah
is already saying, this is gonna be an
easy win for you, and it's gonna bring
a lot of wealth. And these same people
that were held back, when they see you
going for the easy fight,
the no fight at all, the no contest
victory, when they see you going for that,
They're gonna say to you,
leave us to leave us give us permission
to follow you.
Allow us to follow you. Allow us the
honor of battle in the path of Allah.
We want to fight for the sake of
Allah. Where was this fight for the sake
of Allah when the prophet saw a dream
and he wanted to go to Hajj?
These people are gonna get themselves killed. You
didn't wanna come,
but now you see money that that their
eyeballs turn into dollar signs, and they're like,
I want to come for the sake of
Allah.
Can you please come?
This is
another reality, a timeless reality.
There will be people
that will want to join something for the
sake of Islam,
but the shallow intentions are obvious.
The shallow objectives are obvious. It's money. It's
fame. It's something else.
Right?
So you'll have, you know, for example,
a lot of young people nowadays I hope
you guys don't catch this disease in Fort
Worth, but I wanna be an Islamic influencer
for the sake of Allah.
You're Islamic you're not even Islamically influenced yet.
It's like influencer.
You know, guys, it's really important to make
a sthfaar in the morning. Okay? Like me.
Like I'm making a sthfaar right now. And
it's really important that it's just between you
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And that this this this relationship is just
between you and Allah and no one should
know about it.
Like making making tahajjud.
Notice the moon outside? It's the tahajjud moon.
Yeah.
Make sure, guys, keep your intentions sincere.
Check out my live tomorrow from Qiyam
for the sake of Allah.
They'll they'll come to the prophet and say,
hey, we wanna follow you. And
now Allah has now given the prophet a
directive. What's the directive? These people, since they
didn't come with you to Hudaybiyyah
or to to this umrah dream,
as a result, they may not they are
not allowed to join you in battle.
Because it proves they're not willing to die
on the battlefield.
And if you're not willing to die on
the battlefield, you are a liability on the
battlefield, not an asset. Because when things get
difficult, what's gonna be expected from these people?
They're gonna run, they're gonna abandon the strategic
position which is gonna turn into death.
It's better not to take these people anywhere.
So when they come to you and say
this, Allah says,
They intend to change or replace the speech
of Allah. Meaning Allah has given his word,
you cannot What's the kalam of Allah?
Declare to them.
You will never follow us,
which is a play on words. You're never
gonna follow us actually, not even in Islam
and not in this mission.
You're not real followers anyway.
You're not you haven't been following all along.
Why you wanna follow now?
And by the way, that is what Allah
has already said beforehand. Meaning,
this ayah has come before this conversations already
happened.
This conversation will happen when they get to
Madinah, and they're about go to kaybar, and
they'll say,
And you'll say,
You're not gonna follow us. Where you getting
this from? Oh, that's alarri. You don't know
the surah? Everyone's talking about you already. You
famous bro.
And then they will respond and say,
or you're just jealous of us.
That's what they're gonna say.
You're just jealous that you got you went
all the way to hudaybiya and you lost
your animals and you came back poor and
we didn't make that mistake, so you're just
heard about that that we got away from
that that catastrophe.
And that's why you don't want us to
get any of the spoils this time.
And when they talk like that to try
to instigate you, to try this by the
way, when you when people talk like that,
you feel like I need to respond. I
need to say something.
So basically, they become trolls on social media
at this point.
You just jealous.
And what does Allah say?
No. They've never actually understood anything except very
little. These these are people of very small
intellect.
What is Allah saying? When people try to
instigate you, that is an indication of the
minute size, the microscopic size of their inter
of their intellect.
So no need to engage.
There's no need to engage.
It's a remarkable. When they say,
Allah's response is they don't understand much.
It's okay. You can only expect this much
from stupid people.
What does that tell you about how you
should engage? Well, you know, what most people
when they consume anything online now, they don't
even listen to what they're listening to. They're
just reading the comments.
They're just reading the nonsense underneath.
And my problem with that is I've I
don't remember ever actually making a comment
with good intention.
I mean, I make comments for fun sometimes
to people that make comments to me
just for just for fun because I I
find it entertaining.
Because
one guy was really upset with the size
of my beard.
So he said, brother, you don't have proper
beard. But he spelled beard incorrectly. He spelled
he spelled bread.
You don't even have proper bread.
So I wrote back,
wheat are you saying?
I can't help it.
The dad jokes just
flow. It's a gift and a curse.
And
picture, I was wearing a suit and he's
like, brother,
this is not proper dress. And the guy,
his profile picture, he had sunglasses on, right?
So I was like, you're right. I forgot
my sunglasses.
So yeah. Okay.
But my point is,
I don't know of anyone who has the
time
to watch a YouTube video or something on
whatever social media and they're like, I need
to make a comment about this immediately.
I don't even have time to text back
my my coworkers or
important people in my I have time to
talk to a video?
Alright.
Like, the people who are doing this have
some special kind of time on their hands.
Right?
And you can tell from the
from what they're saying a lot of times,
the, you know, the the the enormous amount
of distance that lies between 1 neuron and
the other.
Right?
The so why engage?
Why engage in that? Right? So he says,
let them talk.
However, this is what you should say to
them. Those who were held back from the
Arab, from the Bedouins, let them know
Soon, you shall be called to another nation
that possess great power of of war.
What is a nation? Another nation
that is a great power of war. What
is this referring to?
The Romans.
You shall be fighting them.
Or
they're going to be accepting Islam.
One of those 2 things are gonna happen.
And if you do follow in that case,
in other words, you you can't go to
khaibar because that's easy.
But when we're about to take on the
Romans, you are welcome to join.
And if you do join at that time,
Allah says,
Allah will give you great reward.
And if you turn your backs the way
you have before, in other words, if you
turn back the way you normally do,
that's the comment.
Allah will punish you with a painful punishment.
Why is Allah saying He'll punish you with
a painful punishment? Because you come offering, We
wanna follow you. Really? You wanna follow? Then
the next time you're told to follow, and
you don't follow, see what Allah does with
you.
Now some sahaba heard this and they got
worried because some of the sahaba were blind,
Some of the sahaba were injured. Some of
the sahaba were were disabled. They're like, oh,
I can't I can't go.
How am I gonna go to battle? Allah
says,
There's no harm that on the on the
on the blind. The blind aren't being asked
to go.
And nobody who's disabled in some kind of
debilitation
is being asked to go.
And some people who are sick, there's no
harm on them if they don't go.
And whoever were to obey Allah and His
messenger, He will enter them into gardens. In
other words, the blind,
the disabled,
the sick, they can't go. They can't even
leave their house.
Right? So forget going to Umrah. They can't
even go battle They can't even leave their
house. And Allah says, it doesn't matter if
you can leave your house or not, I
will still enter you into gardens. I will
get you where you need to go.
It's also really interesting here that Allah used
these words these words in a general way.
He didn't mention fighting in the path of
Allah in this ayah. He separated the ayah.
Which means you can look at it in
context, but you can also derive something universal
from it. And what's the universal?
That people that are sick or blind or
people that are disabled,
there is no haraj on them. You shouldn't
look down on them. You shouldn't consider them
less in any way.
So you shouldn't act like they are in
some sense less.
And the same
were offered to people that were going all
the way,
liyukhiral mumineena wal mumineena jannatin tajlimin tahtihi alanhar.
The same jannahat are being offered to them.
What does that mean? In the sight of
Allah, they are no less.
That's what it means. And if someone is
no less to Allah, then how should they
be any less to you and me?
So what we've done, unfortunately, in our cultures
is somebody's child is disabled, somebody got disabled
because of a car accident, became blind, something
else happened, And all of a sudden, we
start treating them very very differently,
very differently. And some people are so
in their superstitions,
don't even invite them to a wedding. It's
a bad omen.
Nobody wants to see a blind person at
a wedding,
you know.
So what are they gonna look at anyway?
You know?
Or we don't want this person here. We
that you know, that person got cancer? No.
No. No. We don't want the cancer person.
Am I I don't want a cancer person.
Am I wileema?
Really?
Where the the And you think Allah won't
ask you about this kind of behavior?
Like this is okay to do? And forget
doing this with strangers. People do this with
their own family.
People are doing this with their own their
own family. Subhanallah.
Allah. And whoever turns back,
Allah will punish them with a painful punishment.
This ayah also teaches us that if you're
disabled, or sick, or poor, or you know,
or or held back in any way,
you're still expected to obey Allah in whatever
you can.
And even though lying in a hotel or
in a hospital bed, you can still turn
away from Allah.
And whoever turns away from Allah, Allah will
punish painful punishment.
So you don't have to be fully healthy
to be disobedient to Allah.
Disobedience to Allah can happen in your heart,
on your tongue.
None None of your body parts are moving
but your tongue is saying things.
He's turning his back.
So it's not like you're free from sin.
Allah has already been pleased with those believers
that that are giving that were giving you
their pledge under the tree.
He knew what lied in their hearts.
And He sent tranquility on top of them.
So now we learn 2 kinds of tranquility.
1 was inside and the other was
above. So they were enveloped in it and
they were inserted with it.
And he allowed them to come into contact
with a nearby victory. What's the nearby victory?
That's gonna be the small victory that's coming
is khaybar.
By the way, khaybar is more money than
the Muslims have ever seen
up until now,
ever.
And yet Allah just calls it just some
nearby victory.
But the great victory, the obvious victory in
the beginning,
that's already happened in Khudavia. So
in the sight of Allah, the material victory
didn't matter much
because the rizq is in the hands of
Allah. It's
the moral victory, the spiritual victory, the strategic
victory that was far more important.
And
there will be many many spoils, many riches
that are going to come that you will
take.
And Allah has always been ultimate the ultimate
authority, all wise.
Allah has promised you, what's your?
Farish, go to your mom. Farish, go to
your mom.
Farish.
No. That's Farish. Hey, Farish.
Rahma, it never works. It never this is
like the 8th time you've done this.
Try to be inconspicuous in the middle of
a lecture.
It's called out every time. It's like a
history with. Yep. You're famous now,
Okay.
Good job, Faris. Okay.
What was I saying? Something about Islam?
Allah has promised you many many spoils that
you will just be taking.
And Allah has expedited some of these for
you. Meaning Allah has rushed this for you.
It's coming quickly.
You're not gonna have to wait long. I'll
describe this tomorrow. So what we what we
the history I described to you yesterday and
earlier today is before the coming of the
surah, right? And then the surah came. But
now the surah is talking about things that
are gonna happen after the surah came.
So it's talking about the future. So we'll
talk about that in the future too. So
we'll talk about that tomorrow, inshallah. What is
this commenting on?
You know, well that's coming. So we're in
anticipation in a sense, kind of like the
sahaba we're in anticipation. What is this talking
about?
And Allah has kept He's tied the people's
hands from getting to you. Meaning people won't
be able to harm you.
You're gonna be able to grab these spoils,
and you're not gonna be able to be
harmed.
Walitakuna ayatallumminina
wayyahdiyakomsevaata
mustaqimah.
And so this will all become a great
sign for believers, and he will guide all
of you to a straight path. That straight
path once again is the path to victory.
So now the strategic road to to the
conquest of Mecca is opened. Uhra
And secondarily,
additionally,
there are lands that you have not yet
conquered.
There are places that you haven't controlled yet.
Other wealth that you haven't amassed yet.
Allah has already encircled it for you.
It's just waiting for you to be taken.
Notice in the language over and over again
what keeps coming up.
Lots of money is coming, lots of wealth
is coming, lots of land is coming. Lots
of resources are coming. And then Allah used
this keyword,
uhhra It's secondary.
As if that's never that was never your
objective. The Prophet's objective was never land or
territory or wealth or none of that. That's
just Allah giving on the side. It's it's
always in the number 2 position. It's just
a means to an end.
Allah has always been in complete control over
everything. This is Allah telling us that the
objective of Islam is not control.
The objective of Islam is not territory.
The objective of Islam was something far greater
and territory just comes.
The problem with Islamic, you know, the the
the movement
that happened, you know, post colonization
was there was an obsession with control.
It was an obsession. We have to get
the land. We have to we have to
have governmental control. The problem with governmental control.
So tomorrow, let's say, in a Muslim country,
a Muslim country, let's say, in in in
Pakistan,
some
Islamically minded people just take over.
Some military generals that are very religious or
whatever say, you know what? We're having an
Islamic takeover of the country. We're gonna implement
sharia law. This is gonna and now everybody's
like, tukmood.
Right? And we're really happy because now we
have we got a land that's completely Islamic
now and under Islamic law. And all of
the haram things have been removed and you
know, the bars are getting shut down, the
clubs are getting shut down, and like all
the the riba is being removed. All these
stuff happening, right? All overnight.
Was that the objective of Islam? If that
was, then you are imposing the law of
Islam on a majority of people who are
actually not interested in that law, nor do
they want to follow it.
So you're ensuring that people are following it
for intentions other than the pleasure of Allah,
which means you're creating an entire culture of
hypocrisy.
A gigantic culture of nifaq.
The only reason they're and by the way,
for example in Iran, you have the shahs
and you have their version of Sharia law,
right? The the Shia nation but they have
Sharia law implementation.
How many how many
revolts are happening against that and protests happening
against that?
Right? From their own population. Why?
If the objective of Islam was to get
a government and to get issue policies
to make know, selling pork haram and selling
alcohol haram. And if that's what you think
the objective of Islam was, that's one view.
But if you study the silah of the
prophet the
first objective is to actually generate the people
that you don't have to govern
for them to obey Allah.
You don't have to have a government coming
and telling them they have to fast for
them to fast. Or a government coming and
telling them they cannot drink alcohol for them
to give up alcohol.
The most amazing transformation that happened, the revolution
that happened in the Quran, in the seerah
of the Prophet
even the establishment of the khilafa eventually. The
khilafa was brought about at the hands of
people
who were actually
completely in Allah's obedience already themselves.
They were the masses of them were already
in obedience to Allah themselves.
And naturally then, they're going to establish an
order
that is in line with their own world
view.
They're already loyal to Allah's book and His
Messenger.
And they're gonna if you enforce this on
people, doesn't that become a form of
There's no compulsion in religion?
I remember when I was younger, I was
in Sarudia.
And
back then, they don't have that anymore. They
had the mutawa.
So in Riyadh, where I used to live
in my childhood,
when if I'm outside, it's Asar time and
the adhan goes off, you better not be
found on the street.
They had these police authorized
mashayikh. They're called
They had a stick in their long stick
in their hand. And if they see you,
they bop you on the head.
And if you don't run to the masjid,
then they'll call the cops on you.
And the the stores had to be shut
down during the salah because if the stores
are open, the store keeper
will be dragged. And a lot of you
we had a lot of Bangladeshi Muslims and
Indian Muslims and Pakistani Muslims and, you know,
Sri Sri Lankan Muslims. But we also had
Sri Lankan Hindus and Sri Lankan
Christians, and some of those guys got dragged
into the masjid because they don't speak Arabic
and they just know because they would hear
everybody say, salaam alaikum. Salaam alaikum. Sala, sala,
sala, no no no sala. There's a no
no sala.
He got beat. It's like his first salah.
He's like, love. But like, you know but
even the Muslims who got beat into going
to the salah,
You believe that was the objective of Islam?
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam,
when he
would would pray fajr and some wouldn't show
up.
Right? There's some stronger hadith.
Right? But none of them say, drag them
over here and make them pray.
Not one of them.
No.
You have even later on in the time
of Umar Radiallahu Anhu, he found somebody drinking
in his house,
drinking alcohol.
He used to walk walk the streets. Right?
So He saw somebody. Window was open. You
can see inside he's getting drunk. So he
he barges and he said, you're doing haram.
He said, I did 1 haram. You did
3 haram.
First of all, you looked inside my house.
I have a right to have privacy.
You walked in without permission, and you made
assumption.
How you know it's alcohol?
Omar Khattab
let him go,
walked away.
Couple of days later, Omar has given Khutba.
Who's in the audience?
Same guy.
And he called him afterwards and he said,
you know, I never told anyone about you.
And he said, you know, I stopped drinking
after that day.
The goal of the objective
of
the Quran, the victory,
The victory is to produce people that will
obey Allah even when every one of their
feelings is saying disobey Allah's messenger. Isn't that
what happened in Hudaybiyyah?
Isn't that the ultimate fat?
Do you think if our children don't want
to pray and we take them into a
Muslim country that forces them to pray,
Our children don't want to wear hijab.
Our children don't want to recite the Quran.
Our children are not interested in the deen.
Our children want to go to concerts, and
they want to go to, you know, they
wanna go gamble.
They wanna drink alcohol. And you're not letting
them because it's haram.
And now they become adults. And they want
to do all those things but you put
them in a Muslim country so they can't.
You think that will make them believers?
You think that will make them successful in
the eyes of Allah?
You think on judgement day, Oh, you Allah,
they were in Muslim country, they couldn't do
it.
Is Allah judging what you couldn't do or
is Allah judging the hearts?
The ultimate victory of Islam
is to make a human being successful in
front of Allah on judgment day. If that
goal is not established,
if that is not your goal and your
goal is superficially
imposing Islamic rules
that you think is Islam itself,
then you failed.
That's actually So what if a 1000000 people
are being forced to pray and forced to
eat halal and none of them want to,
or the majority of them don't want to,
or the moment they have freedom, they'll do
something else?
You
had
this ugly realities
but you need to know these things.
Country I shall not name, Islamic.
No alcohol, no gambling, no this, no that.
And a neighboring country,
alcohol is okay. Even the Muslim country. Alcohol
is okay. Prostitution is okay. Clubbing is okay.
Everything is okay. Just a border between them.
And it's an open border.
Friday
night,
there's a massive traffic jam from the Islamic
country
into the party country.
All
all weekend
and a massive hijrah back. They make umrah
every weekend.
And these are both Muslim countries.
These are both Muslims and there's
adaal in both countries.
There's salah in both countries.
But what is this reality? The reality is
Islam is not being brought to the
people. When we're discussing Islam in the Muslim
lands, we're discussing Sharia courts.
We're discussing policies. We're discussing, oh, should we
kill the murtad or not? Or should we
ban alcohol or not? Whether you ban alcohol
or not, the people who want to drink
alcohol, you haven't addressed why do they want
it.
Why would the sahaba pouring out the alcohol
that they were
getting drunk on for years, and one ayah
comes down, no police,
no prohibition laws, no no penalties, no nothing.
And the streets of Madinah are flooding with
alcohol. Why?
Because
that was the ultimate victory of the prophet
He produced people like that.
It's people.
It's not government. It's not policy. It's not
control. It's not land. It's not resources. Oh,
we don't have the media. We don't have
the power. We don't have the resources. We
don't have the money. What resources did Rasool
alaihi wa sallam have?
What resources that he have?
And finally, we're about to get 1,000,000. Right?
Finally. And how is Allah describing these 1,000,000?
Secondary.
Lands, What is becoming our minds until Muslims
have the resources, until we have the money,
until we have the power, until we have
the government, until we have the Sharia or
courts, until then Islam will not be victorious.
Really?
In other words, we think Islam will come
top down.
Islam has always come how?
Bottom up.
Bottom up.
Even bringing Islam into a society can only
come bottom up. And if you try to
bring it top down,
if one group of Muslims says, we're gonna
bring it top down, what's gonna happen?
Just like you forced it on society, it's
like forcing somebody to eat something they don't
wanna eat. What's gonna happen? They're gonna throw
it up.
They're gonna just
it's gonna come out.
You know?
And this is what we have to contend
with.
To me, the biggest battle is not we
have to make our countries Islamic.
The biggest con the biggest
challenge to me is we have to make
our youth inspired by the Quran.
That's it. Because if we can make our
youth inspired by the Quran,
then those youth will one day become fathers.
And within 20 years,
we're going to have an entire generation of
Muslims
that will naturally bring about an Islamic society
because they're they're attached to this religion
as part of their psyche.
They're consciously Muslim. They're not civilizational Muslims. They're
not Muslim because their dad was Muslim or
mom was Muslim. They're Muslim because they love
this religion. They're convinced of it. They're convinced
of its values. They can convince their non
Muslim friend of its values.
They're not convinced of it. The people are
nervous to be around them because when they're
around them, they might become Muslim too.
When you start producing youth like that, then
you see a change in the world.
That's when you see a change in the
world. It's actually this
this human resource is actually the resource.
And so with that, as we come closer
to the end of the surah, listen to
this.
And even if the disbelievers were to fight
you, they would turn their backs.
They will not find any any anymore
And any remember the word
So other than Allah they will not find
any not just other than Allah, no tribe
will be willing to help them anymore. There
won't be any helpers for them anymore.
This is the way Allah does things that
has already come to pass so many times
before. This is the way history works.
You will not find a replacement for the
legacy of Allah. This is the Allah's way
of setting a legacy of histories for nations.
And he's the one who stopped your hands
from reaching them and their hands from reaching
you at in the belly of Makkah. You
were you were right there in the heart
of Makkah at Hudaybiyyah and they couldn't touch
you and you couldn't touch them.
Even though Allah made
you * them. Meaning you had them within
your grasp, but even then Allah held you
back and Allah was watching everything you're doing.
By the way, the Muslims are angry at
the kuffar. They got away with the deal.
That looks like it's in their advantage. Now
Allah says, by the way, that's not because
I favor them, the kuffar. Allah says,
They're the ones that have disbelieved.
And they're the ones that have stopped you
from the sacred masjid.
And they've stopped the sacred animal from reaching
the place where it's supposed to be sacrificed.
The animals weren't let to go where they're
supposed to go.
This is the ayah I'm gonna stop with
today,
because the rest of it is so heavy
we have to maybe inshallah cover that tomorrow
and and go to the next object. But
this ayah, man, you really gotta understand this
ayah. Allah says,
Had it not been for believing men and
believing women that you have never known?
You've never met them.
What?
This is almost the end of the seerah.
This is the 6th year of the hijrah.
You know, there's only a few years before
Mecca is conquered.
And Allah is saying, by the way, there
are men and women in Mecca
after 13 years in Mecca, after Badr, after
Uhud, after Ahzab and now Hudaybiyah.
Now, there are believing men and women in
Mecca that you have never known.
Secret Muslims.
They're inside Makkah.
There are Sahabis we don't even know.
We don't even even the Prophet doesn't know
their names.
If war broke out, meaning Khudaybiya, Allah held
us back. Right? Allah held our hands back.
Allah says, if
war had broken out, you would have trampled
all over them. You would have crushed believing
men and women. You wouldn't have even known
that they're
believers. Because
this is the difference between
war on a battlefield
and civilian war, war in a city. In
a city, who's the casualty? Innocent people. And
some of those people will even be believers
and you won't even know.
This is the Quran's way of commenting on
our stands on waging war on civilian centers,
populated centers.
War is a matter of battlefields.
War is not a matter of civilian populations.
We don't target it because we don't know
who's a believer.
By the way, is Quraish,
is Makka? All this time up until now,
was Makka the enemy of Islam?
Yeah.
How many times have we gone to war
with them?
3. And if you wanna count
4.
You've gone to war with these people 4
times,
and you would think everyone in is what?
Your enemy.
Everyone of them is your enemy.
And Allah is saying, No. There are believing
men and women inside Makkah that you've never
even known.
And if you were to attack Makkah, you
would end up crushing them.
And when that would happen, there would be
an ugliness
would take over your faces and you wouldn't
even know. There would be an ugliness that
would be cast on you because you killed
fellow believers.
And you wouldn't even know it.
And so Allah says, that's why I didn't
let the fight happen.
You wanted to fight with every ounce of
blood in your coursing through your veins. You
wanted to kill.
The prophet was agreeing to a peace deal.
You didn't want peace. And Allah says, and
if things went your way, you would have
killed innocent believers.
And there would have been an ugly scar,
a spiritual
scar on you that would have never left,
and you wouldn't have even known.
Allah saved you from yourself.
And then he says
I, Allah, did all of this so he
can enter into his rahma whoever he wants.
What does that mean?
That means that not only are there believers
there now,
there are other non Muslim Maqans
that will be entering Islam
very shortly.
And if this fight happened, they would never
have been entered into the rahma of Allah.
What's the rahma of Allah? Islam.
And Allah intends that even more people should
enter into Islam, and that's why he didn't
let you fight.
Whoever he wants.
And had they been completely distinguished. Let me
let me, I used to drink a lot
of chocolate milk so I can give you
a chocolate milk analogy. You got the milk,
you got the poison powder.
And once you mix it, they become 1.
They become 1.
If you were to be able to separate
the milk and the chocolate powder,
separate the 2, that would be tazayul.
Tazayul means all the all this powder is
here, all the milk is here. They're completely
separate from each other.
Allah says,
if the city of Mecca,
if they were separated, meaning the believers have
their neighborhood,
all the people that secretly have iman or
potentially will become Muslims are on this side
of the street, and all the hard line
kuffar that will die kuffar
are on this side of the street. If
that was the case,
had that been the case,
We would've punished those who disbelieved among them
ourselves
with a painful punishment.
Allah is telling us, why doesn't he destroy
Makkah?
Because the population is mixed.
That's why.
You see, when people are very angry with
American foreign policy.
And then Ramadan is gonna come
Allah.
Right?
You know,
show show them a sign, you Allah. Show
them what you showed, Firaun.
Drop their planes.
You're standing there. You got a flight next
week and you're like, oh, I mean
Is America one thing?
Is Canada one thing?
You know, if you think about it,
you know, I don't like Chinese policy
against the Uyghur Muslims.
But is China
one mind?
Is it one popular is there a tzayil,
there's the kuffar completely separated from the believers?
Is that the case? Or is there a
mix?
And are there people that may enter into
Allah's mercy?
And there are people that are non believers
now but have the potential of becoming believers.
Is that the case?
When that's the case,
then Allah does not destroy a nation. And
when the kuffar are completely separated from the
believers, then Allah has no problem annihilating what
is a burden on this earth.
Through and through kufar.
No reason to keep an wasteful organic matter
above the ground.
It's better off feeding the soil.
That's why the believers leave a nation and
then the flood comes.
The believers leave a nation and then and
then the the fire the fire of rain,
you know, or the rain of fire rather,
the earthquake.
That's when the believers are all gone.
There was not a single household of believers
left or Muslims left. That's when destruction comes.
But now,
nations will not be destroyed the way they
used to be destroyed in the past ever
again because we will always be what kinds
of societies?
Mixed societies.
And the 1st mixed society that was spared
from destruction was Mecca itself.
Because in the story of all the prophets,
what happens at the end of those stories?
Then the city in which they were gets
destroyed, isn't it?
Isn't that happened with Lut alaihis salaam? Isn't
that what happened with new Alaihi Salam was
sali. Alaihi Salam was you. You saw it
over and over again. Right?
Why is that happening with Makkah?
Because of this
ayah. This is also teaching us that our
attitude towards an entire country
as one
is
anti quranic.
We cannot think of America as one thing.
We cannot think of Pakistan as one thing.
We cannot think of India as one thing.
We cannot you know, Pakistanis like to think
of India as one thing.
You
know?
Afghanis like to think of Pakistanis as one
thing.
I know.
You know?
The the the the Malay Malaysians like to
think of the Indian Malaysians as one thing.
What's going on?
They they, you know, they people like to
simplify.
And so long as you can stereotype all
of them as just kufar, kafir nation,
then it's easier to dehumanize. Right? And when
it's the first step is dehumanize, the second
second step is mass slaughter.
And Allah is preventing a genocide from happening
in the sayyad. Do you see that?
It's it's actually an ayah preventing genocide.
And by the way, even if they were
disbelievers,
you wouldn't have to destroy them. What did
Allah say in this ayah?
We would've punished them ourselves with a painful
punishment. I would've dealt with them. That's Allah's
sunnah, isn't it?
Allah's sunnah is when there's only purely kuffar
left, He deals with them Himself.
You know,
like even
got sunk into the earth.
This is the principle that the Muslims were
taught.
And from here on, if they can't even
think of maqah, who they who have ward
with the rusul of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam 3 times,
who expelled the Prophet, who tried to kill
the Prophet of Allah, and you can't even
oversimplify
the
population of Makkah, and you can't just say
all the people in Makkah or Kufar, you
don't even get to say that, how will
you ever say that about any other nation
on this planet?
How will the Muslims ever say that about
anybody else? If there was one nation you
could say that about, it would have been
the people of Makkah.
That would've been that would've been a license.
Allah took that license away
at the end of hadayiya.
So by the So in the beginning as
we were making this peace treaty, we were
really upset.
But as the wisdom of the Quran dawns
on us,
we realize this peace treaty is not just
favoring the kuffar.
Actually, it's hurting the kuffar. It's bringing about
lots of benefits for other regions that we
can now focus on. But more importantly,
there are people inside Mecca that we want
to benefit.
Even though we've gone to war with Mecca
multiple times, there are people inside Mecca that
we must benefit.
And they're beneficiaries of this treaty.
SubhanAllah.
We are taught to look at things now
not in black and white.
We're taught to look at things in gray,
understand multiple perspectives,
especially for the younger men here, particularly for
the younger men here. I'm I'm I'm I'm
I'm asking you to develop a nuanced view
of world events.
I don't want you to look at one
sound bite, one fiery speech. If they do
this, we will do this.
I wanna watch more of this stuff. This
stuff is so good.
I love this guy. He's so loud.
He's so angry. The louder you get, the
less nuance you have. The less multiple perspectives
you're you're taking in.
Did you notice that in this surah, Allah
gave us a perspective of the outside region,
He gave us a perspective of the munafiqun,
He gave us a perspective of the believers
we don't even know, He gave us perspective
of the kuffar, He gave us a spiritual
perspective, the emotional. Were there multiple perspectives in
1 ayah, 1 month surah?
What is Allah teaching us? Look at things
in 360 degrees.
Try to understand as many perspectives as possible
before you form a judgment,
before you say this is what's really going
on.
And you know people who refuse to do
that? People that have already made up their
mind.
When people have already made up their mind,
they even want to bend the Quran to
their will.
Right? I'm angry, I wanna justify my anger.
So even if this ayah is saying, hey,
here's the reasons for you not to No.
But still though, shouldn't assign the true to
you. I mean, I know the ayah and
stuff but, like, come on.
Do you see the way they talk about
us? You see don't you see what they
did? You know what this person is doing?
This person has an anger in their heart
and that anger has become a lock on
their heart and that lock is even keeping
them from contemplating the Quran. Allah says,
don't they contemplate the Quran or do their
hearts have their own locks on them? If
you have a preconceived
bias, an anger, a rage, a frustration, a
fear, anything, any kind of bias,
then it's gonna keep you from actually benefiting
from the word of Allah. Even if you
hear the clear word of Allah, you'll say
at the end of it, but the way
I feel though,
but don't you think that
if the ayah if the understanding of the
ayah is incorrect, that's something else. If there's
another aya we should think about, that's something
else. If there's another hadith of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, we should think about,
that's something else. But if it's your feelings,
and your feelings are dictating which ayaat should
be studied, then that bias is a problem
we have to eliminate.
That bias is a serious problem we have
to eliminate. And the last thing I'll share
with you for today insha'Allah is just just
that about history.
I I'm being as honest with you as
I can as as a student of the
Quran, as a student of Islam.
I don't think I understand
the first 50 years of Islam,
meaning the last 5 years of the prophet
salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
and the first 45, 40 to 50 years
of after the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
I don't understand them well enough.
I'm realizing that more and more that I
study Islam, I realize I don't understand those
first 50 years well enough.
And the reason I don't understand them is
because I'm seeing a massive
every time I get a glimpse from those
50, something new is added, my perspective completely
changes,
completely.
And I'm like, I don't know enough. I
need I need more. I need I need
to dig more. I need to dig more.
I need to dig more. I need to
understand more.
And that's what I'm trying to do for
myself,
just for myself
because there's a there's a simplistic view of
history that's like 2 dimensional.
Right? And then there's like, I really wanna
understand what what the reality was of the
situation.
I wanna take a deeper dive into the
situation and understand it as comprehensively
as I can.
And the reason I say this to you
is just again, I'm being honest about my
own journey
in in the study of Islam.
At some point in our history, Islam became
really complicated.
At some point in our history. And before
that point in our history
this is a few 100 years later. And
before that point in our history, Islam was
actually extremely,
extremely simple.
It was extremely simple.
And we complicated it
a lot.
And the more I don't have to look
ahead to find simplicity in Islam, I realize
I have to look back
to find simplicity in
Islam, you know, and the the the clarity
of this religion, the real clarity of this
religion. And one of the two things that
I feel that Muslims should really be focused
on, 1 is history, a deep understanding of
history,
and 2 is a deep understanding of the
Quran because the Quran just gets ignored.
Honestly, the Quran just gets ignored.
Like alhamdulillah, we're sitting here discussing a surah
today, or some mayat of the surah, inshaAllah,
we'll complete the surah tomorrow and discuss
those two things. But really it's those two
things as history and Quran.
Right? That gives you the right foundation, the
right perspective to build everything else on, to
to understand things from,
you know.
What you should have questions about history. You
should have questions like Abu Bakr as Siddiq
radiAllahu anhu, who spent the most time with
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, but said
the least.
Why isn't he saying anything?
And Abu Hurayrah radhiallahu anhu
who accepts Islam at khaybar
after kadayiya.
So he is with the Prophet maybe 3
years and he has the most hadith of
all.
What's the difference? How do I make sense
of that difference?
What's happening in those 3 years? What are
the Muslims experiencing in the This is important
history. I need to understand.
It's not enough for me to say, I
found a hadith, you know,
Okay.
He said it. When did he say it?
Who else was around?
What was going on here? I I need
to know more.
Even
with the simple oversimplified things you folks hear
sometimes
when you don't have the context, it's crazy.
It's sometimes you hear things and you I
don't I don't know how you make sense
of it. I can't make sense of it.
I go and, alhamdulillah, because I'm relatively famous,
I have access to scholars,
which is my cheat code. I just text,
I I don't get it.
I I I totally don't get this. Can
you help me out here?
You know?
And so I can only imagine for the
average Muslim what's happening,
what confusions there are, right? Because I still
have confusions. I still have questions
as I as I as I explore in
my journey. So my hope is through
at least this journey, at least this piece
of the seerah
gets exposed a little bit. I also wanna
give a lot of dua and a lot
of credit to our dear beloved Sheikh Yasir
Qadhi
who's done an absolutely incredible series on the
seerah. It's about a decade or more old.
And I'm only sharing
bits and pieces
of the stuff that he shared in that
series. It's much much more comprehensive.
It's a proper proper
multiple year effort. Like he he put, I
think, 3 or 4 years full time
into developing that series.
May Allah make it a sadaqa jariyah for
him. It's a really remarkable series. It's
a it's a phenomenal phenomenal resource. And to
this day, I listen to bits and pieces
of it. Like for Hadibi, I was listening
to Hadibi again. And then I'll read it
to Ibn Hisham and other other silah sources.
The difference between what I'm sharing with you
and he's sharing is a lot of times
he'll summarize the narration. And I I like
to read the narration itself to
you, and then try to translate that for
you. Right? So the easy he's trying to
simplify that portion of it. But
the the the work is absolutely incredible. It's
really, really incredible. And I think it's one
of those things that,
you know, you should familiarize your kids with.
It's a resource available on YouTube. There's no
reason you shouldn't be taking advantage of it,
inshallah. And even if it takes you a
couple of years to go through it little
by little, it's something that would completely transform
your perspective on,
the life of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. And
the the the thing that's missing then is
the seerah on the one side and the
study of Quran on the
books
is the history according
to people.
And then the Quran is that same history
according to the to Allah. Right? Allah this
is this is the seerah, actually.
This is 23 years of the Prophet's life,
alayhi salatu salam. Right? That's what this is.
So
your your reading of the Quran
dramatically changes when you do that. May Allah
benefit all of you. We'll
wrap up our
that are interested on top of the students
we have in studying the Quran and its
meanings and being able to learn that and
share that with family and friends and they
need sponsorships which is not very expensive. So
if you can help sponsor students
on Bayinah TV, please do so and visit
our sponsorship page. I appreciate it so much
and pray that Allah gives our mission success
and we're able to share the meanings of
the Quran and the beauty of it the
world over.
