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

These numbers mean nothing for them. There's a

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

different scale.

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

It's a different scale of one of the

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

largest empires on earth, and we're about to

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

clash with them.

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

We're actually about to clash with them. And

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

Allah describes that clash how does he describe

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

it?

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

Once again everyone, Assalamu Alaikum.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

Actually one of the things I misspoke about

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12

yesterday I wanna correct is a

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

lot of scholars hold of you and I'm

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

actually found that more convincing also.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

When he said there's other land that you

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

haven't been able to acquire yet you haven't

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

been able to access it yet

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

it's actually they argue that this is referring

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

to Makkah itself

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33

that Makkah is just just the other land

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

that you haven't been able to access because

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

all this time we've been at war we've

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

been expelled from Makkah and we are not

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

able to go back to Makkah, but Allah

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

has that covered for you.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

Right?

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

So this is what Allah is giving giving

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

them an indication and there's always smaller signs

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

before the greater signs. Right? So one of

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

the things that we won't talk about detail

00:01:53 --> 00:01:53

in detail,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

in this session, but Insha'Allah at some point

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

in the future I will, is that they

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

agreed that you can come back next year.

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

But Mecca was not conquered the next year.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

So, they're still in the state of peace

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

treaty,

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

and

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

the Muslim influence continues to grow,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

and you know the political landscape is kind

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

of a cold war situation.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

Right? So there is tension but there is

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

no conflict.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

Right?

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

And so while in that state the Prophet

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

actually made them live up to their

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

agreement and he showed up for umrah

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

the next year and it's called Umratul Qaba.

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

Umratul Qaba means the umrah that was owed

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

like salah is kaba right? You you owe

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

a prayer and you make it up. So

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

this was owed from the year previous.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

So he came and made it up. And

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

2,000

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

sahaba actually made umrah.

00:02:43 --> 00:02:45

And people some reports say people closed their

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

doors and people got nervous because the Muslims

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

are all the way inside the heart of

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

Makkah making Tawaf. But one of the things

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

I want you to think about is from

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

the Muslim perspective, not just the non Muslim,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

the Qurayshi perspective. From the Muslim perspective, they

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

are doing tawaf and they are doing the

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

right rituals of salah,

00:03:01 --> 00:03:02

but but the idols

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

are still there.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

The idols are still there.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

This is pretty serious because

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

the Muslims when when, the Prophet salAllahu alaihi

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

wa sallam moved to Madinah,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

Allah revealed early on that the direction of

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

prayer will no longer be Jerusalem,

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

the direction will be the Kaaba. Right?

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

So our direction changed.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

And in order to pray towards

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

Jerusalem, the Prophet

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

has to have his back to Makkah

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

because it's

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

Makkah,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:31

Madinah,

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

Jerusalem. So, if you're facing Jerusalem,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

you are facing away from Makkah.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

And if you are facing Makkah, you are

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

facing away from Jerusalem. And Allah had not

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

revealed yet

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

that you should be praying toward Makkah. You

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

should be praying towards so he continued to

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

pray towards Jerusalem. So when he was praying

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

towards Jerusalem, his back was to

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

Makkah and he felt bad about that. He

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

didn't like to turn his back on the

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

Kaaba. And Allah

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

revealed, you know,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

we saw your face turning towards the sky,

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

so we're turning your face towards the direction

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

that makes you happy which is the the

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

Kaaba itself. Right? So Allah revealed that this

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

was actually because of the feelings of the

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam. You know, even

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

though we know the grand scheme, this was

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

always meant to be the mission, but Allah

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

described it as something that was meant to

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

give calm to the heart of the prophet

00:04:20 --> 00:04:22

alaihis salatu wa salam. So you'll notice even

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

in this surah, tranquility in the heart is

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

really important, isn't it? Like, here we're talking

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

about a military conquest,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

and you know, a political strategizing,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

and armies amassing, and affiliate tribes, and all

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

this other geopolitical

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

stuff. And in the middle of it is,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

sakinah fiqulubin muminim. Like,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

why are we having the spiritual conversation about

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

tranquility in the hearts in the middle of

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

this political discourse. Right? Because in our minds

00:04:49 --> 00:04:50

the in the secular mind

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

in the secular mind, subjects are separated from

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

each other. Different parts of life are separated

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

from each other. So, you got your professional

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

life, you got your you got your work

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

life, you got your, you know, personal time

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

life, you got your family life, you got

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

your your your friends life, and you have

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

these parts of your life that are sectioned

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

off from each other. And it's you're almost

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

a different person in these different states. Right?

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

But when it comes to the Quran, it

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

doesn't take this

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

sort of sectioned off, boxed off approach

00:05:21 --> 00:05:21

to life

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

and to engagement.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

So here we are dealing with a political

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

situation, but at the same time it's a

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

spiritual state.

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

It's a spiritual matter also. So there is

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

this unification of things in our religion and

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

it extends not just to the Surah but

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

actually in across all matters in life.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

So actually, you know,

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

your business life, your family life, my my

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

my life with my friends,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

all of them are actually spiritual states too.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

All of them. There none of them are

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

like, oh, this is duniya that's deen. No.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

All of it's deen actually. All of it

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

is deen. So when you're together with your

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

friends and somebody starts talking badly about somebody

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

else and you refrain

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

and you even stop that conversation from happening,

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

you're in a spiritual state. You just did

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

irbadah.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

That that was an act of worship

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

and that was a reminder of Allah in

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

that state. When when somebody came and offered

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

you, you know,

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

you know, illegal money,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:19

for example,

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

right, under the table, and you refuse the

00:06:22 --> 00:06:24

deal even though nobody would have found out,

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

you know, nobody would have known,

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

then that's that's you actually

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

being mindful of Allah

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

when you have dirt on somebody because nowadays

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

is a there's a whole culture of getting

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

dirt on people. Right? Getting getting the load

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

out information on people. You know? Oh, I

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

got this stuff, man. If I get this

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

out there, this person's gonna be destroyed. This

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

person what do you think I should do?

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

You don't like him either. Right?

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

So what do you think I should do?

00:06:49 --> 00:06:50

And you're like well,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

one thing you could do is just do

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

whatever you gotta do, bro. I don't don't

00:06:54 --> 00:06:55

keep me out of it. And that's that's

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

your way of saying please do it.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

Right?

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

But instead, you say no. You wouldn't want

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

that to happen to you. Why would you

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

do that to anybody else? It doesn't matter

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

if you like the guy or not, or

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

it doesn't matter if you like her or

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

not. If you wouldn't want that to be

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

the way you should be dealt with, you

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

shouldn't be dealing that with in that way

00:07:11 --> 00:07:12

with anybody else.

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

Right? So there is this like,

00:07:15 --> 00:07:16

taqwa that

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

permeates every situation.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

But coming back to

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

some of the concluding comments in the surah,

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

one of the things I didn't mention in

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

in more detail, I did refer to the

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

fact that there was tranquility inside and above.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

Right? And the tranquility inside

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

referred to deeply seated penetrating anger

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

that resides inside.

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

But actually when they took the bay'a, when

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

they were about to go get killed, there

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

was also a matter of fear, and fear

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

overshadows you. So the sakinah overshadowed the believers.

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

Right? So there's the to address the anger,

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

the sakinah was put inside the hearts, and

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

to address the fear, the sakinah was poured

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

on top of them

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

because the fear hovered on top of them,

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

right, of of, you know,

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

possibly being being being slaughtered.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:04

Now,

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

Allah is making reference to the event that

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

already occurred. Now, so it's it's just interesting.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

The Muslims in this surah

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

as they're traveling back, they're being made to

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

think about things that already happened and things

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

that are going to happen. So the future,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

the past in the future, the past in

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

the future, we keep oscillating between the 2

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

in the Surah. So now we're actually

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

going to the back because Allah was talking

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

if you remember towards the end of yesterday,

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

Allah was talking about lands that you're going

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

to acquire.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:36

Right? So that's in the future. And then

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

immediately after that, he started talking about he's

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

the one who kept your hands from reaching

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

them and their their hands from reaching you.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

And that might even be a reference to

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

when those AD assassins came to try to

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

stir things up and no casualties and they

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

were put that was all put to rest.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

Even though you Allah says, Bin Badi al

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

Afarakum alayhim in the ayah. Even though you

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

had your claws all over them. You know

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

when a lion has the prey under its

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

claw and it's just got it grabbed, it

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

hasn't killed it yet. So the deer is

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

there and the deer is going, oh dear.

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

And the lion, you know, and the lion

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

is like, it's just sitting there like, you

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

know,

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

I'll I'll bite your head off just not

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

yet.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

You know? So

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

this is the description Allah gave of when

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

the Muslims

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

had those assassins or those those those thugs

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

captured and they were basically under our claw

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

and then you release them. Right? And so

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

Allah says, and and

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

after you release them, there was this anger.

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

Why did we release them?

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

And so Allah actually sympathizes with those who

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

wanted to go to war. Like I was

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

telling you yesterday, Humulladhinakaforoo.

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

They are the ones who disbelieved. If you

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

think about,

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

you know, large groups that can break out

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

into violence, we talked about that yesterday, but

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

large groups that break out into violence, all

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

it takes really is a spark.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

Right? So this is why crowding, you know,

00:09:53 --> 00:09:55

in legal terminology, even if you've done high

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

school level constitutional law, or, you know, American

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

history or whatever, you know, screaming fire in

00:10:01 --> 00:10:02

a crowded theater.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

Right? You heard about that before, right? So

00:10:05 --> 00:10:08

that's considered a crime because you're endangering people.

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

You're endangering false alarm, you can cause a

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

stampede, people can die. So when you create

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

chaos situations, then that's actually gonna create a

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

lot of death. So

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

the chaos situations could have erupted at any

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

one of those moments. When they got to

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

Hudaybiyyah, they were almost attacked.

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

Actually, before Hudaybiyah, there was an attempt to

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

kill them, and Khaled ibn Walid was just

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

waiting for the next prayer. So, when they're

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

praying, they can be he can attack them.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:32

Then, they had to take the treacherous road

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

to get to Hudaybiyah.

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

Then when the negotiations started, the Prophet salAllahu

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

alaihi wa sallam was being insulted.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

And then when finally the negotiations

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

came to pass,

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

or even before then the rumor that Uthman

00:10:44 --> 00:10:44

has been killed,

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

and one of the negotiators of the Muslims

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

went in there and got beat up, Jirish

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

got beat up. Right? So there's multiple sparks

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

that could have erupted the the violence

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

at any moment, but Allah kept that from

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

erupting

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

time and time and time and time again.

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

And then finally, they're actually ready to go

00:11:02 --> 00:11:04

to war, and on the verge of walking

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

into Makkah ready to die

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

to avenge Uthman, and Uthman comes back right

00:11:09 --> 00:11:10

in the right second. Imagine if he came

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

2 minutes late.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

Right? Even if he came 2 minutes late,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

3 people would have saw him, the other

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

1400 wouldn't have seen him.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

They would have

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

gone and fought whoever they would have fought.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

Right? So the violence could have erupted in

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

that. So Allah keeps bringing

00:11:27 --> 00:11:27

the

00:11:27 --> 00:11:29

the Muslims to the edge of,

00:11:30 --> 00:11:31

you know, explosion.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

And he keeps pulling back and then right

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

to the edge and then back and then

00:11:34 --> 00:11:36

right to the edge and then back. I'm

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

a I'm a big you know, part of

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

my psyche is watching a lot of cartoons

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

when I grew up. You ever see those

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

cartoons when they have the TNT and it's

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

and

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

it's reaching the thing that's gonna explode.

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

So it just it keeps getting right to

00:11:48 --> 00:11:49

the edge and then it gets put out.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

Then it gets you know.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

Atfaa Allah. Allah keeps putting it out. Right?

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

And so so Allah says,

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

and even though Allah put it out every

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

time,

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

it's not because those people don't deserve it,

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

they deserve it. They're the ones who disbelieved.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

They are the ones who stopped the animal

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

from shabwa. Well, you know, so, walhadia ma'akufanaan

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

yabilugamuh Mahallahu. And the last thing I spoke

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

to you about yesterday

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

was how there are actually secret believers inside

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

Makkah. And there are also potential believers inside

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

Makkah

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

which teaches Muslims forever,

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

we don't know who the secret believer is

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

and we definitely don't know who the potential

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

believer is.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

Actually, I was giving a lecture on this

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

surah 10 years ago

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

in in London,

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

and that's recorded on Vayina TV in more

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

detail than what I'm covering with you guys

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

here.

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

And

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

in one of the breaks, a sister came,

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

and she took Shahada.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

Right? And she she accepted her Islam, and

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

then she continued to attend the program. And

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

I I referenced her in the lecture itself.

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

And I was like, well, if she had

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

come, but she came with her non Muslim

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

friends, she's been thinking about Islam for a

00:12:55 --> 00:12:57

while, 30 minutes ago we wouldn't have seen

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

her as a Muslim.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

But Allah did.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

Allah did. You know Christians came to meet

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

the Prophet

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

at another time, earlier time.

00:13:07 --> 00:13:09

These Christians came to meet the Prophet sallallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam and before they and he

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

just recited the Quran. That's all he did,

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

he recited the Quran and Allah says,

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

you are going to see their eyes start

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

rolling with tears,

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

like they are just hearing Quran and just

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

bawling.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

Right? And then one of the declarations they

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

make

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

is, We were already Muslim before this.

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

That's what they say. In the Quran they

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

say, We were already Muslim before this. Meaning

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

in the sight of Allah and in their

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

hearts they already had Islam.

00:13:37 --> 00:13:39

So there's an Islam you and I can

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

see and there's an Islam you and I

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

cannot see.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

There is there is a, you know,

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

there is the appearance of Muslim and then

00:13:47 --> 00:13:49

there is the state of the heart that's

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

that's, you know, on the way to Islam,

00:13:51 --> 00:13:54

you know. And you will never know. You

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

you simply will never know, you know. So

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

this not being able to judge and therefore

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

forget if you can't judge, then you can't

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

consider them an enemy. If you can't consider

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

them an enemy, you can't consider them as

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

combatants in war. So there's this kind of

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

trickle effect between these things. But that doesn't

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

mean we don't have enemies.

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

This is that's one side but that become

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

that can become an extreme. That just mean,

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

oh, don't judge anybody.

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

They're shooting at you. Don't judge though. You

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

don't know what's in their heart. They're shooting

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

at you bro.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

Right?

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

So I don't wanna judge anyone. No. No.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

No. No. No. This is not We're not

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

hippies. We're not That's not that's not It's

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

all good in the hood. It's it's not

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

like that. It's actually there's

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

there is yes. There is not blanket judgment

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

on everybody

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

but there are individuals that will be judged

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

and there are situations that need to be

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

judged.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

And one of those situations

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

which occurs in Suratul Mumtahala remember I told

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

you about, Suratul Mumtahala before,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

which is that, you know, the the women

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

that came

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

from

00:14:59 --> 00:15:02

from Makkah escaping to Medina and how they

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

got patrioted into society. Right?

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

And they got quickly married off too.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

The men were paid off paid, their previous

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

husbands, and they got quickly married off and

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

which is also amazing. They were married to

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

a pagan, but that wasn't a smear on

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

their character.

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

So what?

00:15:18 --> 00:15:19

You know what they call that nowadays? You

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

come with a lot of baggage.

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

Right?

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

There's there's no baggage.

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

Islam erases everything and it's all good. These

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

are honorable women to marry. Right? But part

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

of that Surah was also

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

the opening of the Surah.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

Those of you who believe, those of you

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

who have faith, don't take my enemy and

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

your enemy as awliya. Awliya is a term

00:15:43 --> 00:15:46

I've already familiarized you with. Yes, allies, close

00:15:46 --> 00:15:48

ties. Don't make allies with enemies.

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

That's what Allah says in the opening ayah.

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

This is important because

00:15:53 --> 00:15:57

this surah came after Hudaybiyyah, after this surah.

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

Okay.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

And this surah came actually right as the

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

Prophet was about to conquer Makkah

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

Why is the Quran waiting all all this

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

time to talk about the enemy?

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

You would think

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

a surah about the enemy of Allah would

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

be revealed when we're about to go to

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

Badr

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

or Uhud

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

or Hazab.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

Right? That's when you hear you wanna hear

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

the word enemy.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

But you're going to Makkah. Now you're about

00:16:25 --> 00:16:26

to conquer Makkah. And

00:16:27 --> 00:16:28

you don't need they don't you don't need

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

any more alliances with them.

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

But so you're and we all know the

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

conquest of Mecca by and large is a

00:16:34 --> 00:16:35

peaceful endeavor.

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

Right? So even though it was a military

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

advance, there was no war that broke out.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

Right? So this was a peaceful takeover of

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

Mecca essentially.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

Right?

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

But Allah still used the word enemy in

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

that case, which is unusual because we expected

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

enemy in the war cases and he used

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

it in the non war

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

situation. Why?

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

Because when you even if you're at peace,

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

you should know who your enemies have been

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

and you cannot let your guard down.

00:17:04 --> 00:17:05

Whether or not we judge if they have

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

faith in their hearts is a different thing.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

But if someone's Firaoun, whether Firaoun has an

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

ounce of faith in his heart or not,

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

that's not up to me to judge. But

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

if he's acting like Firaoun or he's been

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

acting like Firaoun,

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

then I'm gonna tread with caution.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

And I'm still going to see him as

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

an enemy.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

And to the point where I will not

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

make him an ally,

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

like cover me and he's got a gun

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

and with I think he's gonna shoot at

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

the enemy behind my back and he might

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

be shooting me in the back of the

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

head. Right? So I can't do that. I

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

can't be naive.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

And so there's the story of Hatib ibn

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

Baltah

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

associated with Surah al Buntaha,

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

But Insha'Allah, I'll talk to you about that

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

in a minute. Let's let's come back to

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

this surah.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

So towards the end of this surah, now

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

Allah is going to describe how

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

when those who disbelieved

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

placed in their hearts

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

bias. Hamiyya. Hamiyya means strong tribal bias.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

Hamiyya tells jahiliyah. Then Allah reinforces that word

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

with altanab

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

and He says a bias that was based

00:18:08 --> 00:18:12

on extreme ignorant emotion. And the jahiliyah can

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

also refer to the kind of bias that

00:18:13 --> 00:18:16

only existed in the times of jahiliyah before

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

Islam.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

So hamiyatul Jahiliyah could be hamiyat aasr in

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

Jahiliyah.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

Now what is this referring to?

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

1st and foremost,

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

the the Quraysh could not accept

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

that someone other than their own tribe

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

is going to have that kind of power.

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

So this was a tribal pride thing

00:18:35 --> 00:18:38

that they they carried with them. But they

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

also wanted to stir up the Muslims by

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

making them

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

prideful.

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

So they try to agitate the Muslims anyway

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

they can. So

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

is not just and

00:18:49 --> 00:18:51

they tried to stir up, they stirred up

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

their own tribal pride but they wanted to

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

get the Muslims aggravated too. They wanted the

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

Muslims to actually engage in some kind of

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

mistake,

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

some kind of aggression because when the Muslims

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

if the Muslims

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

engaged in any kind of aggression, then they

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

have a right to say, we have the

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

right to defend ourselves and that's why we

00:19:10 --> 00:19:11

killed all of you.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

So they're trying to stir the Muslims up

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

so that the Muslims will make a misstep

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

and then they'll justify their behavior. This is

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

what they were doing early on in the

00:19:20 --> 00:19:21

Sira too. When the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

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

sallam's message was getting

00:19:23 --> 00:19:24

was spreading quickly,

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

then, you know, the the Quraysh started beating

00:19:28 --> 00:19:31

up Muslims in the streets, and torturing Muslims,

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

and engaging in violence against Muslims openly in

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

Makkah. Right? But Allah will describe another place

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

in the Quran commenting on what was going

00:19:40 --> 00:19:42

on in Makkah. Allah says that you

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

were told, kufu aidiakum,

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

hold your hands back.

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

Hold

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

your hands back. Don't be violent in your

00:19:49 --> 00:19:50

resistance

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

to the kuffar.

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

So in Makkah, there was actually a policy

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

for the Muslims. Don't fight back.

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

Just preach the message. Don't compromise on the

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

message.

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

You know Bilal is capable of fighting.

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

Bilal has fought in battles.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

He's capable of fighting. But in Makkah, he's

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

just gonna say, ahad, ahad, ahad.

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

He's not gonna fight

00:20:12 --> 00:20:16

because there's why not? It's natural human instinct

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

to fight back.

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

Why not fight back? You know,

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

the the reason for that

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

is

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

There was a policy revealed by Allah that

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

Allah told us about in the Quran later

00:20:26 --> 00:20:29

in Madinah, which was hold your hands back,

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

remain nonviolent.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

In Makkah the policy was remain nonviolent.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

Now there are lots of wisdoms in that

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

because if the Muslims did become violent, imagine

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

that Umar, who is very capable,

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

you

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

know, just decides that somebody messed with the

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

Prophet he's gonna go take their head off

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

or he's gonna go, you know, gut

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

them. If he did that, the Quraysh would

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

have justification

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

to say, Look, we told you these Muslims

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

are killers,

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

they are not just preaching some kind of

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

message, they are here to murder you, look

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

this person got murdered. They're not gonna tell

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

you what happened and what was the consequence.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

They're not gonna give you the backstory. They're

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

gonna spin it into a story of their

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

own. The kuffar are masters of spin.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

The Prophet was already told, sallallahu alaihi wa

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

sallam, these people are very good at creating

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

smear campaigns. That's actually what

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

boils down to.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

Right? They're they're they go around creating different

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

kinds of criticisms of you and spreading rumors

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

about you, scandals about you. So if you

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

give them 1 inch, they'll turn it into

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

a mile. You give them a small, the

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

small enough hole that can fit a nail,

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

they'll turn it into the Grand Canyon.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

Right? So this was actually a propaganda war

00:21:39 --> 00:21:40

in the beginning.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

And one of the great objectives was to

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

offend the Muslims enough that they will do

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

something that will go against what Allah wants.

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

And this was

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

we and the days of holding back are

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

long gone. That was in Makkah. And And

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

then we moved to Madinah and Allah finally

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

said,

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

The people who were wronged have now been

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

given permission to fight back. So now in

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

Badr we fought back, in Uhud we fought

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

back. Now we can fight back, we're a

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

military now. We're not gonna take it quietly

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

anymore. Those days of da'wah and just sabr

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

are over.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

That's over with. But now when we get

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

to Hudaybiyah,

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

it's like we have to go back to

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

sabr again. No, no, no. We're

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

good at fighting.

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

We already crossed the desert.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

You know, and we got swords now on

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

us too. It's not the policy of sabr,

00:22:27 --> 00:22:29

but also So they're trying to stir them

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

up

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

to, you know, get them to fight back,

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

to get them to do something. And Allah

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

says,

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

Then Allah sent down his calmness,

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

his own calmness, meaning a special calmness that

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

comes from Allah. Before we saw as sakinah,

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

now we're seeing sakinah tahu,

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

as calmness that comes specially from Allah.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:57

He sent that onto his messenger and onto

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

the believers. Meaning the one who was offended

00:22:59 --> 00:23:02

more than anyone else was actually Rasulullah sallallahu

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05

alaihi wasallam. We look at the silah event,

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

right? And we see that everybody got stirred

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

up and everybody got upset and who was

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

calm?

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

Rasool salallahu alaihi wa sallam was calm. What

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

we don't know is what Allah tells us.

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

Nobody was more angry than the Prophet of

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and that was

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

on the inside.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

That was on the inside. He was raging

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

over what was being done, what was being

00:23:26 --> 00:23:27

said.

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

But he has to He is more in

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

control over his emotions than everybody else.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

His one control over himself

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

is more powerful than 1400 people in their

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

rage.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

Just can you imagine,

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

first of all, the people that are angry,

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

you're angrier than them,

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

but you have to act calmer than all

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

of them.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

And then they're thinking, why isn't he mad?

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

Why isn't he angry? So

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

it's such a frustrating situation to be in,

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

and Allah says, this required a special calmness

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

that can only come from Allah.

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

And

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

then And He set this tranquility

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

onto those who have iman. So they eventually

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

calm down also, and I would read this

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

sakinah also here as the surah itself. The

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

surah is the thing that calm them down.

00:24:19 --> 00:24:20

If you read the seerah account,

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

nobody was calming down until finally, okay, yes,

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

they obeyed the Prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam

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

begrudgingly, quietly

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

after he, you know, he slaughtered the animal

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

and shaved his head, but really there was

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

still

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

an anger in the atmosphere and a frustration.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:35

There was no sakinah until the Quran came.

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

And then like describing Umar bin Khattab, the

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

Quran, the the the seerah account says, his

00:24:41 --> 00:24:43

his inner self was calm now because the

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

surah came.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

So now,

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

listen to these words, he committed them, Allah

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

committed them

00:24:52 --> 00:24:53

to the word of taqwa.

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

So let's add this is sounds ambiguous. He

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

committed them to the word of taqwa.

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

Them not fighting, them holding

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

back, them

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

quietly obeying the Prophet

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

salallahu alaihi wa sallam, them slaughtering the animal

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

and delivering the animal for the Quraysh to

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

eat,

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

them now quietly walking back,

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

all of them not even getting to see

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

the Kaaba.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

Can you just, I want you to empathize,

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

because empathy is a hard thing.

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

It's a difficult thing. We're reading about something

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

that happened

00:25:24 --> 00:25:26

a millennium and a half ago from people

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

that are historically far removed from us. As

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

much as we love and respect them, the

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

situation is hard for you to relate to.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

I want to give you an example.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

Say that you were, you know, if you

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

live in a country like, let's say, Indonesia,

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

for example, with with Americans, it's a lot

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

easier. If you want to go to Hajj,

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

you can just go to Hajj.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

Right? Just find a company or whatever, apply,

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

and they have plenty of room for you,

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

and you can go. And And if you

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

didn't get to go this year, you could

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

easily go next year. But in a largest

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

Muslim population in the world, Indonesia, they can't

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

just go to Hajj whenever they want. They

00:25:56 --> 00:25:57

have to apply, they have to have a

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

waiting list, Then eventually, a young man who

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

may be 18, 19 years old applies and

00:26:02 --> 00:26:03

he might get a chance to go when

00:26:03 --> 00:26:04

he's almost 40.

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

That can happen too. And they're gonna get

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

that one chance. That's it. That's that's all

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

they're gonna get.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

So now they get to finally get to

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

go. They've been saving up all this time,

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

and they finally get to go to Hajj

00:26:14 --> 00:26:17

when they're 40. They were all these years.

00:26:17 --> 00:26:18

And they, you know, they they board on

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

the plane super excited. They they make kids

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

a saudiyah

00:26:22 --> 00:26:24

super excited and then at you know they

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

they they land in Jada,

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

and before the mikat has been done, they

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

put the Ihram on, everything's ready. They're they

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

got their dua, little dua book, and you

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

know, and the Indonesian they go in groups.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

Right? They got the whole the elbow thing.

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

Right? So they got the elbow practice down,

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

the rehearsals rehearsals done, everything's ready. They're in

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

Jannah excited,

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

and they get the announcement. Yeah. The Indonesians,

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

all of your Hajj visas are canceled. You

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

must go back now.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:50

Right?

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

Or even better, they're driving labayk Allah, hama

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

labayk, labaykala sharika labaykla labayk. You you get

00:26:57 --> 00:26:59

all the way and you could see the

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

pillars of the haram

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

and then the police stops you and says

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

go back, we can't have you in here.

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

No explanation.

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

Just go back.

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

Just imagine the pain of that,

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

of the frustration of the pain.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

Like the level of sabr

00:27:18 --> 00:27:19

that what what are the things over which

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

we lose sabr?

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

The flight's been delayed 3 hours.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

The AC is not working,

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

Isn't it?

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

Hey. Who took the orange juice from the

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

fridge?

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

The stuff we lose sabr over.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:42

Those people's sabr is that must be a

00:27:42 --> 00:27:44

different caliber of sabr that's being tested.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:46

And they didn't get there in a, you

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

know, in a business class seat or an

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

economy seat with extra leg room,

00:27:51 --> 00:27:53

and they didn't have a flight attendant giving

00:27:53 --> 00:27:54

them peanuts

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

from 1987.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

They they didn't have any of that. They

00:27:58 --> 00:28:01

went through the Hejazi desert. Have you taken

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

the road trip between Mecca and Medina? Have

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

you ever taken that road trip without air

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

conditioning in the car?

00:28:07 --> 00:28:08

Have you ever walked that trip?

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

Have you ever tried 30 minutes of that

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

walk?

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

10 minutes of that walk?

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

What kind of walk would that be

00:28:16 --> 00:28:17

under the

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

glaring sun

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

with animals

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

exhausted,

00:28:22 --> 00:28:25

carrying all your luggage. Nobody's carrying your luggage.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:26

You're not checking it in.

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

Some of your luggage on the animal but

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

the animals can't carry everything. And then you

00:28:32 --> 00:28:33

gotta push the pull the animal too. It's

00:28:33 --> 00:28:35

not the car where you press the accelerator

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

to move. Sometimes the the the camel says,

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

I am moving. What you gonna do about

00:28:39 --> 00:28:39

it?

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

You know?

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

And you're you're taking that trip and at

00:28:45 --> 00:28:46

the end of it, you got turned back.

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

Go back. And your prophet is saying, yeah,

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

we're going back.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

Not to mention all the other emotional

00:28:53 --> 00:28:55

like roller coasters they went through. And Allah

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

says, how has He described this situation where

00:28:58 --> 00:28:59

they held on to their composure?

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

Al zamaahum

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

kali matat taqwa He committed them to the

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

word of taqwa.

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

That is the word of taqwa. The word

00:29:08 --> 00:29:09

of taqwa here is you're going to follow

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

your messenger whatever he says.

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

That's the demonstration of taqwa. And kalima is

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

the kalima means instruction also. The instruction of

00:29:17 --> 00:29:20

taqwa like Allah committed them to it. They

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

were able to demonstrate restraint.

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

And these were the people that were more

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

deserving of that word of taqwa and they

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

were more rightful of it.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

Which are synonyms in a sense.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:38

But the suggestion there is this is not

00:29:38 --> 00:29:41

something easily given. This is a great honor

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

given to someone who truly deserves it in

00:29:43 --> 00:29:45

the sight of Allah that they can have

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

that kind of composure.

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

What we are learning is our ability to

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

restrain ourselves and to control our emotions and

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

not let our emotions dictate what we are

00:29:54 --> 00:29:55

going to do

00:29:55 --> 00:29:56

even for Islam.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

Even for Islam our emotions cannot dictate what

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

we do. That's izam karima tatakwa

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

and these are the people that deserve it.

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

So this is not an easily deserved title.

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

This level of maturity is not easy to

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

acquire.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

And so he says,

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

and Allah had always known everything. Allah had

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

known all along this would happen. Allah had

00:30:19 --> 00:30:20

known all along they'd be turned back. Allah

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

had known all along there was gonna be

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

frustration.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

All of this was designed by Allah.

00:30:25 --> 00:30:26

The same Allah

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

who designated

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

the construction of the Kaaba in the middle

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

of a desert 1000 of years ago by

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

Ibrahim alaihis salaam and commissioned for the perfect

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

timing of the coming of the the final

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:30:40 --> 00:30:42

who would be the answer to the du'a

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

of Ibrahim alaihi wa sallam also planned every

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

one of the sequence of these events. Allah

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

had known everything all along.

00:30:51 --> 00:30:54

And speaking of Allah knowing everything, the great

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

frustration of the Muslims was the Prophet shalallahu

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

alaihi wa sallam saw a dream that they're

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

going to make umrah. And they came to

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

make umrah and they didn't get to make

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

no umrah.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

So Allah says, laqad sadakAllahu

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

rasoolahurruya

00:31:06 --> 00:31:07

bilhaqq.

00:31:08 --> 00:31:10

Allah has spoken the truth to his messenger.

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

The vision was real.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:16

The vision which So Allah was true to

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

his messenger with the vision that was given

00:31:18 --> 00:31:21

to him with purpose and in reality. So

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

the dream was true.

00:31:23 --> 00:31:25

Now, the the prophet, you believe him and

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

even if Quran didn't come, you believe him.

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

Right? We have iman and Allah,

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

But Allah is adding to that

00:31:33 --> 00:31:34

his own word.

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

Now imagine for a moment even if this

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

ayah did not come,

00:31:38 --> 00:31:40

weren't we already obligated to have iman in

00:31:40 --> 00:31:41

in that dream?

00:31:42 --> 00:31:42

We were.

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

So this is our iman was already there,

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

but there was an added reinforcement of iman.

00:31:48 --> 00:31:48

Yes?

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

Now look at the language in the beginning

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

of the surah.

00:31:52 --> 00:31:54

Allah sends sakinah on the hearts of the

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

believers.

00:31:58 --> 00:32:01

So they can increase themselves in iman along

00:32:01 --> 00:32:04

with their iman. So there's an iman and

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

there's an additional iman. There's the iman in

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:32:08 --> 00:32:10

when he says I've seen a dream and

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

now on top of that there's an iman

00:32:12 --> 00:32:13

in the ayah that Allah says that dream

00:32:13 --> 00:32:14

is true.

00:32:24 --> 00:32:25

You are absolutely

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

going to enter the sacred Masjid

00:32:28 --> 00:32:28

Insha'Allah,

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

if Allah were to will. Now, if Allah

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

were to will means

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

maybe, maybe not. Not for us, it means

00:32:36 --> 00:32:38

maybe, maybe not. But that's not what it

00:32:38 --> 00:32:41

means here. It actually means if Allah if

00:32:41 --> 00:32:44

Allah wills here means, maybe it's not for

00:32:44 --> 00:32:44

you.

00:32:45 --> 00:32:47

The entrance will happen, maybe it won't be

00:32:47 --> 00:32:47

you.

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

So you still depend on Allah's will in

00:32:50 --> 00:32:51

the end.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:52

You're not entitled,

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

you're dependent.

00:32:55 --> 00:32:56

So Allah adds that insha'Allah.

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

But He adds something new this time, amineen

00:33:00 --> 00:33:03

in a state of peace. You remember Umratul

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

Qaba already happened. Umratul Qaba is when they

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

did do tawaf and

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

the idols were there. When the idols are

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

there, are the Muslims feeling even though they're

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

doing

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

the umrah, are they feeling like this is

00:33:16 --> 00:33:17

mission accomplished?

00:33:18 --> 00:33:19

No.

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

It's not. This masjid is the masjid built

00:33:22 --> 00:33:25

by Ibrahim alaihis salaam is still being held

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

hostage by pagan idols.

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

So even though I'm getting to make tawaf,

00:33:29 --> 00:33:31

it doesn't feel good.

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

And there's something missing.

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

And it's right in front of my eyes.

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

And every time they're doing tawaf, and they

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

pass by one of those statues, what are

00:33:39 --> 00:33:41

they what are they imagining in their head?

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

What are they gonna break first?

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

That's what they're imagining in their head. Now

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

imagine when I told you that when the

00:33:49 --> 00:33:51

the direction of prayer changed, didn't they know

00:33:52 --> 00:33:55

that they're facing something that right now is

00:33:55 --> 00:33:57

a is a pagan temple,

00:33:58 --> 00:33:59

and they're facing it?

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

So didn't they know that the fact that

00:34:02 --> 00:34:03

the qiblah has changed

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

necessarily

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

means that that qiblah has to be cleansed.

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

You know one of the first things Allah

00:34:10 --> 00:34:13

told Ibrahim alaihis salaam when he told him

00:34:13 --> 00:34:15

to build the to raise the Kaaba foundations.

00:34:15 --> 00:34:16

You know what he said? He said, wa

00:34:16 --> 00:34:18

ahidna ilaibrahima

00:34:18 --> 00:34:19

antahira

00:34:21 --> 00:34:23

baitiya. We took a promise from Ibrahim alayhi

00:34:23 --> 00:34:24

salaam and Ishmael alayhi salaam

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

that you will purify my house.

00:34:28 --> 00:34:29

You will purify

00:34:29 --> 00:34:30

my house.

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

Now, we pray to purify ourselves.

00:34:33 --> 00:34:35

But before you purify yourself also

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

one of the objectives is you will purify

00:34:38 --> 00:34:40

my house. Now Ibrahim alaihis salam built the

00:34:40 --> 00:34:42

house with pure intentions and purified the house,

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

But generations later they contaminated the house. Didn't

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

they?

00:34:47 --> 00:34:50

So when the Muslims heard that ayah after

00:34:50 --> 00:34:52

the change of qiblah that Ibrahim was told

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

to purify the house, what's on everybody's mind?

00:34:55 --> 00:34:57

We're gonna have to purify this house.

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

And even in Umrut Al Qaba the next

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

year, they're not in a state of amin.

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

They can't do as they please.

00:35:04 --> 00:35:07

And the Quraysh can back stab them now.

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

By the way, when they're doing tawaf, they're

00:35:09 --> 00:35:10

basically unarmed.

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

Right? Those 2,000 that were doing tawaf in

00:35:13 --> 00:35:15

Amrutul Khadah the year after Khudaybiyyah,

00:35:16 --> 00:35:18

they're basically unarmed. So the the the Quraysh

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

could set up archers on top of their

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

houses, point them all at the Muslims,

00:35:24 --> 00:35:25

and be done with it.

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

And it's not you can't it's not too

00:35:28 --> 00:35:29

far fetched that they could do that.

00:35:30 --> 00:35:33

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Isn't it?

00:35:33 --> 00:35:36

Sometimes you have corrupt governments engage in,

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

civilian casualties of their own on their own

00:35:39 --> 00:35:40

territory

00:35:41 --> 00:35:42

And then make it look like it was

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

somebody else's fault.

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

Like they'll do an orchestrated

00:35:46 --> 00:35:47

terrorist events.

00:35:49 --> 00:35:52

Right? In some countries that have military rule

00:35:53 --> 00:35:55

and they're fighting for democracy,

00:35:56 --> 00:35:58

Even nowadays, there's military rule, they're fighting for

00:35:58 --> 00:35:59

democracy. Right?

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

As soon as the the military let's just

00:36:03 --> 00:36:04

say the military is very popular

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

among the people.

00:36:06 --> 00:36:09

But because of the democracy campaign, the military

00:36:09 --> 00:36:09

starts

00:36:10 --> 00:36:12

declining in their popularity and now more people

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

are saying, no, maybe we should have a

00:36:13 --> 00:36:14

civilian government.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:17

You know what happens? Conveniently, a terrorist attack

00:36:17 --> 00:36:18

happens.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

And the military comes in and has to

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

provide security and then, yeah, we really need

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

the military.

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

And if the military ratings are going down

00:36:27 --> 00:36:27

again,

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

what's coming up?

00:36:29 --> 00:36:31

Some bomb blast is coming up somewhere.

00:36:31 --> 00:36:34

Some bus is gonna explode. Some some plane

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

is gonna crash. Something's gonna happen? Oh, now

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

we need the military again. So So it's

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

not far fetched that the Quraysh could say,

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

hey, they were a security threat. They were

00:36:43 --> 00:36:46

gonna destroy all the idols. We didn't wanna

00:36:46 --> 00:36:47

offend all the other tribes. We looked for

00:36:47 --> 00:36:50

the greater good so we killed them all

00:36:50 --> 00:36:51

in while they were doing their Tawaf, could

00:36:51 --> 00:36:53

have happened. What I'm trying to say is

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

even though they made Tawaf

00:36:56 --> 00:36:57

and by the way, interestingly,

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

some people started talking trash. They said, oh,

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

these these,

00:37:01 --> 00:37:04

Muslims that went to migrated to Madinah, they

00:37:04 --> 00:37:05

didn't have enough food, so they all starved.

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

So they all got skinny and scrawny. Like,

00:37:07 --> 00:37:10

you know, you get those, like, hostages or

00:37:10 --> 00:37:12

people stranded on a boat, and they're, like,

00:37:12 --> 00:37:12

anemic,

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

and they got like their bones sticking out

00:37:15 --> 00:37:17

of their bodies, right? They're like this is

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

what they've become, this was the rumor spread.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:20

And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told

00:37:20 --> 00:37:23

the Muslims when you're making tawaf, show your

00:37:24 --> 00:37:25

shoulders

00:37:25 --> 00:37:28

and say talbiyah loudly, show your muscle

00:37:29 --> 00:37:31

and say Labayk Allahumma Labayk loudly

00:37:32 --> 00:37:35

and say your Takbiraat loudly, and march faster,

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

almost jogging,

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

almost jogging. Why? Because you wanna

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

show these people This is not a state

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

of Aman. Even though the off is happening,

00:37:47 --> 00:37:48

this is not a state of peace. Now

00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

let's listen to this ayah. Allah said, Allah

00:37:51 --> 00:37:53

told His Messenger the dream was true. You

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

will absolutely

00:37:54 --> 00:37:56

enter al mashid al haram

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

in a complete state of peace,

00:37:59 --> 00:37:59

amineen.

00:38:00 --> 00:38:01

So they have entered once,

00:38:02 --> 00:38:03

sort of,

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

safe.

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

But now this promise is even bigger than

00:38:06 --> 00:38:07

Umratunkaba.

00:38:08 --> 00:38:09

It's bigger than that.

00:38:14 --> 00:38:16

You are going to be shaving your heads

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

and cutting your hair. You'll have both options.

00:38:25 --> 00:38:27

Now, before this ayah was revealed,

00:38:27 --> 00:38:29

we know that most people shave their head

00:38:29 --> 00:38:31

and some people were mad and they only

00:38:31 --> 00:38:33

cut their hair. And the Prophet

00:38:33 --> 00:38:36

made 3 times according to some narrations dua

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

more for who?

00:38:37 --> 00:38:39

The ones who shave their head and because

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

the ones who cut their head, you know

00:38:41 --> 00:38:43

he they were they were complaining.

00:38:44 --> 00:38:44

Right?

00:38:44 --> 00:38:47

Now Allah made even the ones who cut

00:38:47 --> 00:38:48

their hair not blameworthy

00:38:50 --> 00:38:51

and He acknowledged them.

00:38:52 --> 00:38:54

Right. So they feel better now. Because even

00:38:54 --> 00:38:56

if they were kind of forced to make

00:38:56 --> 00:38:59

dua, right. So, you know, Allahu Muhammadu Mukaseer,

00:38:59 --> 00:38:59

you know,

00:39:00 --> 00:39:01

so make sure

00:39:02 --> 00:39:03

give rahma to

00:39:07 --> 00:39:09

eventually. Right? So it's kind of like okay

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

fine.

00:39:10 --> 00:39:11

But Allah Allah didn't make it like okay

00:39:11 --> 00:39:14

fine. Allah gave them a relief also by

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

saying

00:39:18 --> 00:39:20

So those Sahaba that cut their hair, didn't

00:39:20 --> 00:39:22

shave their hair, now they feel relief also

00:39:22 --> 00:39:23

coming from Allah.

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

So that reinforced their iman, gave them sakinah

00:39:26 --> 00:39:26

also.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:28

He then says, la taghafoon,

00:39:29 --> 00:39:30

you are not going to be in a

00:39:30 --> 00:39:31

state of fear.

00:39:32 --> 00:39:34

Allah has given you a promise, you will

00:39:34 --> 00:39:36

absolutely enter the Mashil Haram

00:39:36 --> 00:39:38

in a state of fear, and when he

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

says you're going to be shaving your head,

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

shaving the head is the last ritual. Right?

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

That means you will not be interrupted.

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

All of your rituals will be completed and

00:39:46 --> 00:39:47

you will get to shave your heads.

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

And up until at that until that very

00:39:50 --> 00:39:52

end there will be nothing to fear.

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

Then Allah has always known what you will

00:39:56 --> 00:39:57

what you never knew.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

Allah has known what you never knew. This

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

was a this was the grand plan from

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

Allah.

00:40:03 --> 00:40:04

This was designed. Hudaybiyah

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

and the tragedy of Hudaybiyah was not an

00:40:07 --> 00:40:08

accident. It was designed

00:40:08 --> 00:40:11

so this revelation could come. The most valuable

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

thing human beings have is the word of

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

Allah.

00:40:14 --> 00:40:16

And Allah creates the situations

00:40:16 --> 00:40:17

for the word of Allah.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:19

It's not the situations

00:40:20 --> 00:40:22

caused the word of Allah to come down.

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

No, the word of Allah

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

was the cause for which Allah created the

00:40:26 --> 00:40:27

situation.

00:40:28 --> 00:40:31

Human beings needed the Surah until judgment day.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

They needed the guidance from the Surah until

00:40:33 --> 00:40:36

judgment day. So Allah created the wuruf that

00:40:36 --> 00:40:38

will allow for this Surah to come. This

00:40:38 --> 00:40:39

is the eternal word of God.

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

Right? But so so the world and its

00:40:42 --> 00:40:44

reality was planned

00:40:44 --> 00:40:46

the word of God, for the word of

00:40:46 --> 00:40:48

Allah. In fact, all of the prophets of

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

Allah that have come before from Ibrahim alaihis

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

salam through the line of Isaac,

00:40:53 --> 00:40:55

meaning the Israelites all the way to Jesus,

00:40:55 --> 00:40:57

all of that is pre planning for the

00:40:57 --> 00:40:59

coming of the Quran. All of it.

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

It all just connects to the Quran at

00:41:02 --> 00:41:03

the end.

00:41:04 --> 00:41:05

So he says,

00:41:06 --> 00:41:08

He knew what you couldn't have known.

00:41:11 --> 00:41:13

And other than that, Allah has given a

00:41:13 --> 00:41:14

nearby victory also.

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

This could be referring to a number of

00:41:16 --> 00:41:18

things. It could be referring to the conquest

00:41:18 --> 00:41:20

of Mecca, which is coming soon. It could

00:41:20 --> 00:41:23

be referring to additional territories that are gonna

00:41:23 --> 00:41:24

come in the hands of Muslims. It could

00:41:24 --> 00:41:26

be referring to the the victory we're going

00:41:26 --> 00:41:27

to have for the first time against the

00:41:27 --> 00:41:30

Romans because actually the first engagement with the

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

Roman Empire, we suffered devastating

00:41:32 --> 00:41:35

losses and the Muslims actually had to retreat

00:41:35 --> 00:41:36

the first time. And this was within the

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

lifetime of the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

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

famously known as the Battle of Muqtah. And

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

some of the most closest sahabah of the

00:41:43 --> 00:41:44

Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam were killed in

00:41:44 --> 00:41:45

that battle.

00:41:45 --> 00:41:47

Right? So the Battle of Muqtah was very

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

serious and the Muslims did not actually achieve

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

victory and the only reason they survived was

00:41:51 --> 00:41:54

Khaled ibn Walid was finally given charge even

00:41:54 --> 00:41:55

though he was a new Muslim at the

00:41:55 --> 00:41:57

time. He was given charge and he was

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

able to find a way to maneuver the

00:41:58 --> 00:42:00

Muslims back without all of them being slaughtered

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

because they were completely overrun in numbers.

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

But so the and then the second engagement

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

with the Romans is going to happen at

00:42:07 --> 00:42:08

Tabuk,

00:42:08 --> 00:42:10

and that's when the the Romans themselves are

00:42:10 --> 00:42:11

gonna refuse to engage.

00:42:13 --> 00:42:15

They're they're gonna they're gonna pull back.

00:42:15 --> 00:42:18

So so this this was a and I

00:42:18 --> 00:42:20

want you to put things in perspective. The

00:42:20 --> 00:42:22

Arabs militarily forget about Islam for a moment.

00:42:22 --> 00:42:24

The Arabs militarily

00:42:25 --> 00:42:26

against the Romans

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

is like

00:42:28 --> 00:42:29

a rock against a tank.

00:42:30 --> 00:42:32

That's what I want you to understand.

00:42:33 --> 00:42:34

There's there's no comparison.

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

Those people have centuries

00:42:37 --> 00:42:38

of international

00:42:38 --> 00:42:39

combat experience.

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

They've come they've conquered territories all over the

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

world and learned the best military tactics and

00:42:45 --> 00:42:46

practices

00:42:46 --> 00:42:49

of different civilizations from around the world.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:51

They've been training their warriors from childhood

00:42:52 --> 00:42:53

to be warriors.

00:42:53 --> 00:42:56

They have a hierarchy in their military that

00:42:56 --> 00:42:57

is that is to this day,

00:42:58 --> 00:42:59

based on which

00:42:59 --> 00:43:02

militaries around the world to this day model

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

themselves after much of the structure and the

00:43:04 --> 00:43:05

hierarchy of the Roman militaries.

00:43:06 --> 00:43:09

They're one of the most organized forces on

00:43:09 --> 00:43:10

earth in its history.

00:43:11 --> 00:43:12

Right? And the Muslims

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

have some camels

00:43:16 --> 00:43:18

and they have a few swords

00:43:18 --> 00:43:20

And they have some they've had some fights

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

with each other.

00:43:22 --> 00:43:24

That's that's what they've had. They're they're not

00:43:24 --> 00:43:26

this this is not a oh, the Muslims

00:43:26 --> 00:43:28

fought the Romans. It's not that simple.

00:43:29 --> 00:43:31

This is this is really not that simple,

00:43:32 --> 00:43:32

you know.

00:43:33 --> 00:43:35

This is this is like the the United

00:43:35 --> 00:43:35

States

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

versus like a small

00:43:38 --> 00:43:39

village in,

00:43:39 --> 00:43:40

Mexico.

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

That that's that's what this is.

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

And so just just you're just putting that

00:43:46 --> 00:43:47

in perspective,

00:43:47 --> 00:43:49

I need you to understand like us fighting

00:43:49 --> 00:43:52

with the Quraysh was a sounds like a

00:43:52 --> 00:43:52

big deal.

00:43:53 --> 00:43:55

But if the Roman generals were looking at

00:43:55 --> 00:43:57

what was happening in Makkah, I'm like,

00:43:57 --> 00:43:58

kids fighting.

00:43:59 --> 00:44:00

Look, there's nothing for them.

00:44:00 --> 00:44:03

We came with 313. I was like, What's

00:44:03 --> 00:44:05

313? I got 313 soldiers in my backyard

00:44:05 --> 00:44:07

doing my doing my lawn right now.

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

313?

00:44:11 --> 00:44:12

These are your numbers?

00:44:14 --> 00:44:16

These numbers mean nothing for them.

00:44:16 --> 00:44:18

There's a different scale.

00:44:18 --> 00:44:20

It's a different scale of 1 of the

00:44:20 --> 00:44:23

largest empires on earth and we're about to

00:44:23 --> 00:44:24

clash with them.

00:44:25 --> 00:44:27

We're actually about to clash with them. And

00:44:27 --> 00:44:30

Allah describes that clash. How does he describe

00:44:30 --> 00:44:32

it? Well, in this surah He did describe

00:44:32 --> 00:44:34

this as, ulibaasin shadeep.

00:44:35 --> 00:44:36

These are people you're soon going to come

00:44:36 --> 00:44:38

into contact with them and they possess

00:44:39 --> 00:44:41

great might, great power of war.

00:44:42 --> 00:44:43

They have military strength.

00:44:45 --> 00:44:48

You shall be fighting them, which is interesting.

00:44:48 --> 00:44:49

Allah didn't say they'll be fighting you. He

00:44:49 --> 00:44:51

said you'll be fighting

00:44:51 --> 00:44:53

them as if you're initiating.

00:44:54 --> 00:44:56

It's as if you're the instigator.

00:44:56 --> 00:44:58

Oh, you snimoon or they will surrender.

00:45:01 --> 00:45:02

They will surrender.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:04

This is the description in the Quran.

00:45:05 --> 00:45:07

And you know, for the same sahaba who

00:45:07 --> 00:45:09

could never have imagined that Makkah will be

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

toppled,

00:45:10 --> 00:45:11

Quraysh will be toppled,

00:45:11 --> 00:45:13

then now the Iman is built. Right? So

00:45:13 --> 00:45:14

Allah

00:45:14 --> 00:45:16

gives one sign and that leads you to

00:45:16 --> 00:45:17

the next sign, to the next sign, and

00:45:17 --> 00:45:19

to the next sign, isn't it?

00:45:19 --> 00:45:22

So he says the dream

00:45:22 --> 00:45:24

was come was to come true and he

00:45:24 --> 00:45:26

made a victory that comes nearby,

00:45:27 --> 00:45:28

he already put that in place.

00:45:34 --> 00:45:36

Why is all of this conquest happening? Because

00:45:36 --> 00:45:38

He sent His mess He, Allah, is the

00:45:38 --> 00:45:40

one the same Allah who made this dream

00:45:40 --> 00:45:42

come true is the one who sent his

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

messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with guidance and

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

with the religion that gives justice,

00:45:47 --> 00:45:48

It's

00:45:48 --> 00:45:51

the religion of truth but alhaqq also means

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

giving everybody their rights.

00:45:53 --> 00:45:55

So religion that made sure that people get

00:45:55 --> 00:45:57

their rights. This is actually one of the

00:45:57 --> 00:46:00

most powerful descriptions of Islam, Deen al Haqq.

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

Because al Haqq means truth,

00:46:03 --> 00:46:05

al Haqq also means purpose,

00:46:06 --> 00:46:07

which means this is a religion that gives

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

people purpose for living.

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

It makes their lives purposeful and meaningful.

00:46:13 --> 00:46:16

Then alhaqq also means right or justification.

00:46:17 --> 00:46:17

So

00:46:19 --> 00:46:22

or it's deserving of me when you deserve

00:46:22 --> 00:46:24

something. So women deserve a piece of the

00:46:24 --> 00:46:25

inheritance,

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

or men deserve the following rights, or a

00:46:28 --> 00:46:30

father deserves this, and a mother deserves that,

00:46:30 --> 00:46:31

and a brother deserves this,

00:46:32 --> 00:46:34

You know? The neighbor deserves this. The business

00:46:34 --> 00:46:37

partner deserves this. The employee deserves this.

00:46:38 --> 00:46:39

All of our

00:46:40 --> 00:46:42

lives are actually based on transactions where we

00:46:42 --> 00:46:44

must get what we deserve, and we must

00:46:44 --> 00:46:45

give what others deserve.

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

And Allah gave us a deen which ensures

00:46:49 --> 00:46:52

that we get and give what is deserved.

00:46:52 --> 00:46:54

And the expression for that is dinulhaq.

00:46:56 --> 00:46:57

So he sent

00:46:57 --> 00:47:00

his Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam with guidance

00:47:01 --> 00:47:03

which is our personal journey to Allah.

00:47:03 --> 00:47:04

So that's

00:47:05 --> 00:47:06

my relationship with Allah is Alhuda.

00:47:08 --> 00:47:10

My relationship with everybody else is what? Been

00:47:11 --> 00:47:12

Alhaqq.

00:47:12 --> 00:47:14

So you have fakuqullah and fakuqullayvaad.

00:47:16 --> 00:47:17

Bilhuda wadeenalhaqq.

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

Liuth

00:47:20 --> 00:47:21

so it can overshadow,

00:47:21 --> 00:47:22

overcome,

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

so it can overtake

00:47:24 --> 00:47:26

all of the other deen.

00:47:27 --> 00:47:29

This is actually the call of Allah that

00:47:29 --> 00:47:32

no other deen will be able to stand

00:47:32 --> 00:47:34

when you measure it against Islam when it

00:47:34 --> 00:47:35

comes to giving rights.

00:47:37 --> 00:47:38

When it comes to giving rights, nobody will

00:47:38 --> 00:47:39

stand.

00:47:39 --> 00:47:41

Nobody will have a chance.

00:47:42 --> 00:47:43

I've repeated this a few times now, but

00:47:43 --> 00:47:45

I'll I'll mention it to you guys too.

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

I was looking at one of the most

00:47:48 --> 00:47:49

common criticisms of Islam,

00:47:50 --> 00:47:52

and Islamic law is the rights or the

00:47:52 --> 00:47:53

lack thereof,

00:47:54 --> 00:47:56

in regards to women. You're probably familiar with

00:47:56 --> 00:47:58

that. Islam is oppressive to women,

00:47:58 --> 00:48:00

and Islam doesn't give women rights.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:04

Women did not have any property rights in

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

the United States until very recently.

00:48:08 --> 00:48:09

Women did not have a right to get

00:48:09 --> 00:48:12

a divorce if they wanted to until 1970.

00:48:14 --> 00:48:15

They couldn't. They had to prove that the

00:48:15 --> 00:48:17

husband is cheating on them, and if they

00:48:17 --> 00:48:19

couldn't prove it, they couldn't get a divorce.

00:48:20 --> 00:48:21

By the way, if a woman wants a

00:48:21 --> 00:48:23

divorce and she could just file for a

00:48:23 --> 00:48:25

divorce, it's called a no no fault divorce.

00:48:26 --> 00:48:27

Meaning, she has no issue, but she still

00:48:27 --> 00:48:29

just she doesn't wanna be with the guy.

00:48:29 --> 00:48:30

She doesn't like his mustache

00:48:30 --> 00:48:31

or something.

00:48:31 --> 00:48:33

That's why she wants it. That's fine. She

00:48:33 --> 00:48:35

doesn't have to explain why she could just

00:48:35 --> 00:48:36

get a divorce. That's called a no fault

00:48:36 --> 00:48:37

divorce.

00:48:38 --> 00:48:40

The United States initiated no fault divorce in

00:48:40 --> 00:48:41

Reagan's era.

00:48:42 --> 00:48:43

The British

00:48:43 --> 00:48:45

the United Kingdom brought it about in 1969,

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

the year before.

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

And before then,

00:48:50 --> 00:48:52

neither men nor women could actually get a

00:48:52 --> 00:48:53

no fault divorce. You know when the Quran

00:48:53 --> 00:48:56

introduced and the Sunnah introduced no fault divorce

00:48:56 --> 00:48:57

from men and from women?

00:48:58 --> 00:48:59

Since the beginning.

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

The entire Quran, the most the most talked

00:49:02 --> 00:49:04

about law is divorce, and there's there's no

00:49:04 --> 00:49:05

mention of which fault

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

because the Quran is is justifying no fault

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

divorce.

00:49:10 --> 00:49:10

The

00:49:11 --> 00:49:13

first divorce recorded from a woman who wanted

00:49:13 --> 00:49:14

a divorce,

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

Badira,

00:49:16 --> 00:49:17

is a no fault divorce.

00:49:18 --> 00:49:20

She came to the Prophet and said,

00:49:21 --> 00:49:23

I got no problem with the guy. His

00:49:23 --> 00:49:25

character is great. His religion is great. The

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

fairki?

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

This ain't Punjabi.

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

Right?

00:49:29 --> 00:49:30

I got he got I got no problem

00:49:30 --> 00:49:32

with his religion. I got no problem with

00:49:32 --> 00:49:33

his character.

00:49:33 --> 00:49:35

You didn't come and say, he's an abuser,

00:49:35 --> 00:49:37

he's a narcissist, he's toxic, He's bad for

00:49:37 --> 00:49:38

my mental health.

00:49:39 --> 00:49:40

Nothing.

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

I got no problem with him.

00:49:42 --> 00:49:43

And then she says,

00:49:45 --> 00:49:48

Islam. But I'm afraid of kufr. I'm afraid

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

of disbelief after Islam.

00:49:50 --> 00:49:51

And what she means by that is I'm

00:49:51 --> 00:49:53

not attracted to him, and I'm getting thoughts,

00:49:54 --> 00:49:56

and those thoughts are kufr because I'm married

00:49:56 --> 00:49:57

to him. I don't wanna do that to

00:49:57 --> 00:49:58

myself.

00:49:58 --> 00:49:59

This

00:49:59 --> 00:50:00

is

00:50:01 --> 00:50:03

if if she came to, some some religious

00:50:03 --> 00:50:04

person today

00:50:04 --> 00:50:06

and said, I want a divorce from my

00:50:06 --> 00:50:07

husband because I don't like him.

00:50:09 --> 00:50:10

Sabr.

00:50:10 --> 00:50:12

This duniya is about,

00:50:12 --> 00:50:14

you know, sabr, and we have to compromise.

00:50:14 --> 00:50:15

We have to

00:50:16 --> 00:50:18

I know a Muslim counselor. Oh, I think

00:50:18 --> 00:50:19

you need rukia.

00:50:20 --> 00:50:21

Oh, I think

00:50:21 --> 00:50:23

did the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam send

00:50:23 --> 00:50:24

her give her counseling? Did he give her

00:50:24 --> 00:50:25

ruku? Did he

00:50:26 --> 00:50:27

tell her you should be ashamed of yourself?

00:50:27 --> 00:50:29

What are you doing? You're breaking a family?

00:50:29 --> 00:50:31

You're destroying the home? What kind of woman

00:50:31 --> 00:50:33

are you? What is wrong with you? You

00:50:33 --> 00:50:34

should seek Istighfar?

00:50:34 --> 00:50:36

No. He called her husband and said, hey,

00:50:36 --> 00:50:37

she doesn't like you. Let her go.

00:50:41 --> 00:50:43

That sounds too liberal for some of you

00:50:43 --> 00:50:43

people.

00:50:45 --> 00:50:45

You're

00:50:46 --> 00:50:48

far more Islamic than Islam.

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

Right?

00:50:51 --> 00:50:52

Islam was liberating.

00:50:53 --> 00:50:55

It was in in fact, it was liberating.

00:50:56 --> 00:50:58

What we've done in our cultures

00:50:59 --> 00:51:01

is we have made things haram

00:51:02 --> 00:51:03

that were never haram,

00:51:05 --> 00:51:06

and we have made things halal

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

that were never halal.

00:51:09 --> 00:51:12

And we are more committed to our definition

00:51:12 --> 00:51:13

of haram

00:51:13 --> 00:51:15

and we're willing to make whatever Allah made

00:51:15 --> 00:51:16

halal haram

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

openly.

00:51:19 --> 00:51:21

And the things that Allah has made haram,

00:51:21 --> 00:51:23

we are more committed to making them halal.

00:51:25 --> 00:51:27

Openly. Now it's not even just quietly in

00:51:27 --> 00:51:30

the openly making them halal. Openly.

00:51:30 --> 00:51:32

We're even proud of it. And then we

00:51:32 --> 00:51:34

expect there will be no consequences on Muslim

00:51:34 --> 00:51:35

civilization.

00:51:35 --> 00:51:36

We're not going to be humiliated,

00:51:37 --> 00:51:38

and subjugated, and overpowered

00:51:38 --> 00:51:41

because when the Israelites played with God's law,

00:51:41 --> 00:51:42

buribat aalayhimudhillah

00:51:43 --> 00:51:46

walmaskana waba'ubiradhu bay min Allah. Humiliation was slapped

00:51:46 --> 00:51:48

on them, they were powerless

00:51:48 --> 00:51:50

and they kept receiving the rage from Allah.

00:51:50 --> 00:51:52

That's when they used to play with Allah's

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

laws.

00:51:53 --> 00:51:54

And here we find ourselves

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

multiple

00:51:56 --> 00:52:00

as societies playing with Allah's laws and thinking

00:52:00 --> 00:52:02

there's not gonna be any consequences. It's one

00:52:02 --> 00:52:03

thing to be sinful. We're all sinful.

00:52:04 --> 00:52:06

We can make Istighfar for our sins. Nobody

00:52:06 --> 00:52:08

is an angel, but it's another to just

00:52:08 --> 00:52:09

openly defy Allah

00:52:10 --> 00:52:12

and make that into a cultural norm.

00:52:13 --> 00:52:15

To make that into a norm,

00:52:16 --> 00:52:18

it is unbelievable to me. It

00:52:19 --> 00:52:20

is quite remarkable.

00:52:20 --> 00:52:22

Allah says, just to give you an example,

00:52:22 --> 00:52:25

Allah says that when you give your wife

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

something,

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

right?

00:52:28 --> 00:52:29

Don't take it back.

00:52:30 --> 00:52:32

Don't take anything back that you gave your

00:52:32 --> 00:52:32

wife,

00:52:33 --> 00:52:34

especially if you're getting separated,

00:52:35 --> 00:52:37

if you had given her something. And

00:52:41 --> 00:52:42

especially Mahr.

00:52:42 --> 00:52:44

The mehar that you give, married or if

00:52:44 --> 00:52:46

you're married or not married anymore, you cannot

00:52:46 --> 00:52:47

take a penny of the mehar back.

00:52:48 --> 00:52:49

If you give her a gold necklace for

00:52:49 --> 00:52:50

her mehar,

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

can't take it back. You know what I

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

found out in my beloved country of Pakistan?

00:52:56 --> 00:52:56

Pakistan

00:52:59 --> 00:53:01

You You know what they do? They'll give

00:53:01 --> 00:53:02

the girl a jewelry set

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

and then they'll take pictures with it, and

00:53:05 --> 00:53:07

then the mother-in-law will come, no. This is

00:53:07 --> 00:53:08

for your sister in law's wedding.

00:53:11 --> 00:53:12

This was just for photos.

00:53:14 --> 00:53:16

And they'll take it back or they'll say,

00:53:16 --> 00:53:18

no. You know, you're you're young. We'll hold

00:53:18 --> 00:53:19

it for you

00:53:21 --> 00:53:23

until judgment day.

00:53:27 --> 00:53:28

Long term savings

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

collected in the asherah.

00:53:33 --> 00:53:37

Is this not openly, openly violating ayat of

00:53:37 --> 00:53:37

the Quran?

00:53:39 --> 00:53:41

And then they say, well, we should move

00:53:41 --> 00:53:42

to an Islamic country.

00:53:44 --> 00:53:46

I mean, you're slamming it, but you're not

00:53:46 --> 00:53:46

Islamic.

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

What? I don't know I don't know where

00:53:50 --> 00:53:51

the Islam is in that.

00:53:52 --> 00:53:54

The laws of Allah being played with openly

00:53:54 --> 00:53:55

in society and we say no no we

00:53:55 --> 00:53:57

don't have Sharia courts that's the real problem,

00:53:57 --> 00:53:59

we're not cutting enough hands.

00:54:00 --> 00:54:01

But that's that's the real issue.

00:54:02 --> 00:54:04

Lot of mockeries, SubhanAllah.

00:54:04 --> 00:54:05

Anyway,

00:54:06 --> 00:54:08

so Allah says, He sent His Messenger

00:54:08 --> 00:54:11

with guidance and the religion that provides everyone

00:54:11 --> 00:54:13

their rights, din al haqq. So it can

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

overtake

00:54:15 --> 00:54:17

on all other religion. This doesn't

00:54:17 --> 00:54:20

necessarily refer to * and maybe one day

00:54:20 --> 00:54:20

it does.

00:54:21 --> 00:54:23

But what it definitely refers to is the

00:54:23 --> 00:54:24

huja of Islam.

00:54:25 --> 00:54:27

Nothing will ever compete with Islam in giving

00:54:27 --> 00:54:27

its rights.

00:54:29 --> 00:54:31

Nothing will ever stand before Islam. Allah did

00:54:31 --> 00:54:33

not for example, if you look at it,

00:54:33 --> 00:54:36

Islam didn't overcome Christianity. Christians are still a

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

larger population than Muslims.

00:54:39 --> 00:54:42

Islam didn't overcome Hinduism because Allah says,

00:54:44 --> 00:54:47

So 1400 years, if you if you believe

00:54:47 --> 00:54:48

this ayat to mean all other religions will

00:54:48 --> 00:54:49

be eliminated,

00:54:50 --> 00:54:52

then Islam for 1400 years is a failed

00:54:52 --> 00:54:53

project.

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

And you're hoping one day it will succeed.

00:54:55 --> 00:54:57

But until then we're all failed.

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

No. That's not what this means. 1, it

00:54:59 --> 00:55:02

means in the region of Arabia, no other

00:55:02 --> 00:55:03

religion will remain.

00:55:04 --> 00:55:06

In the land that was meant for the

00:55:06 --> 00:55:07

worship of 1 God alone,

00:55:08 --> 00:55:11

designated by Ibrahim alaihis salaam, no other religion

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

will remain.

00:55:12 --> 00:55:13

And by extension,

00:55:13 --> 00:55:15

no other religion will be able to make

00:55:15 --> 00:55:17

a case against Islam. Nobody

00:55:17 --> 00:55:20

nobody will have an ideological chance against Islam.

00:55:21 --> 00:55:23

Christian doctrine will not stand a chance against

00:55:23 --> 00:55:24

Muslim doctrine.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:27

The Quran's arguments will not be overrun by

00:55:27 --> 00:55:28

Hinduism.

00:55:29 --> 00:55:31

Hindus in droves will accept Islam. Christians in

00:55:31 --> 00:55:33

droves will accept Islam. Muslims are not going

00:55:33 --> 00:55:35

to go into 1,000,000 and 1,000,000

00:55:35 --> 00:55:37

and accept Christianity. That's not going down. It's

00:55:37 --> 00:55:38

not the other way around.

00:55:41 --> 00:55:43

And Allah is enough as a witness.

00:55:43 --> 00:55:44

This

00:55:44 --> 00:55:46

this was a guarantee that the deen was

00:55:46 --> 00:55:47

going to be victorious.

00:55:47 --> 00:55:49

And from then on, the deen was going

00:55:49 --> 00:55:52

to spread. And its its its its evidence

00:55:52 --> 00:55:54

was going to spread all over the earth.

00:55:54 --> 00:55:56

Now, before I InshaAllah, we'll take the next

00:55:56 --> 00:55:58

session to talk about,

00:55:58 --> 00:55:59

the last ayah of the Surah.

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

Just a quick comment about the nadham of

00:56:02 --> 00:56:04

the Surah, the beauty and the sequence and

00:56:04 --> 00:56:07

the organization of the Surah. In my previous

00:56:07 --> 00:56:09

lectures, I described this as having 11 sections,

00:56:09 --> 00:56:11

the Surah having 11 sections. I won't talk

00:56:11 --> 00:56:13

to you about the 11 sections, but I

00:56:13 --> 00:56:14

will talk to you about the first section,

00:56:15 --> 00:56:17

the middle section and the last section

00:56:17 --> 00:56:20

the first section of this surah mentioned forgiveness

00:56:20 --> 00:56:22

Allah has given you a victory so that

00:56:22 --> 00:56:23

he may forgive

00:56:25 --> 00:56:27

The last section of the surah, if you

00:56:27 --> 00:56:28

look at the last ayah,

00:56:34 --> 00:56:35

Allah will mention forgiveness at the end of

00:56:35 --> 00:56:37

the surah. And the middle ayah of this

00:56:37 --> 00:56:38

surah

00:56:38 --> 00:56:39

is Allah says,

00:56:45 --> 00:56:47

Allah mentions forgiveness in the middle of the

00:56:47 --> 00:56:47

surah.

00:56:48 --> 00:56:50

So he mentions forgiveness in the beginning, he

00:56:50 --> 00:56:52

mentions forgiveness in the middle, and he mentions

00:56:52 --> 00:56:54

forgiveness in the end of the surah. Why

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

is that why is that tied to the

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

subject matter of the surah? Because the only

00:56:58 --> 00:57:00

reason you go to Hajj,

00:57:00 --> 00:57:03

the reason people should come before Allah and

00:57:03 --> 00:57:03

say

00:57:05 --> 00:57:07

is because they're preparing for judgment day where

00:57:07 --> 00:57:08

they're supposed to get forgiven.

00:57:08 --> 00:57:10

They're trying to get forgiven.

00:57:10 --> 00:57:12

Don't forget the larger objective. There's a there's

00:57:12 --> 00:57:14

a worldly objective of conquest,

00:57:15 --> 00:57:18

but there's a much larger spiritual objective which

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

is forgiveness. So the Surah begins,

00:57:21 --> 00:57:24

centers and concludes with the larger objective which

00:57:24 --> 00:57:25

is

00:57:25 --> 00:57:28

forgiveness. Right? So inshallah after a break I'm

00:57:28 --> 00:57:30

gonna share with you guys, some things about

00:57:30 --> 00:57:31

the last ayah of this surah.

00:57:35 --> 00:57:38

Alhamdulillkum everyone. There are almost 50,000 students around

00:57:38 --> 00:57:40

the world that are interested on top of

00:57:40 --> 00:57:42

the students we have in studying the Quran

00:57:42 --> 00:57:44

and its meanings and being able to learn

00:57:44 --> 00:57:46

that and share that with family and friends,

00:57:46 --> 00:57:48

and they need sponsorships, which is not very

00:57:48 --> 00:57:50

expensive. So if you can help sponsor students

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

on Bayinah TV, please do so and visit

00:57:52 --> 00:57:54

our sponsorship page. I appreciate it so much.

00:57:54 --> 00:57:56

And pray that Allah gives our mission success,

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

and we're able to share the meanings of

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

the Quran and the beauty of it the

00:57:59 --> 00:58:00

world over.
