Nouman Ali Khan – Studying Surah Al Mulk – Part 3

Nouman Ali Khan

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan continues his elaborate and explicit explanation on an exemplary Surah – Surah Al Mulk.

We are acquainted with the fact that people who remain fearful of Allah in this world shall be rewarded and All their virtuous deeds are in the knowledge of Allah and He shall duly honor them. He is the Creator of all and nothing is hidden from Him.

This earth has been created by the Almighty as very obedient and submissive to man. It is a source of reminder for man of a great reality: he should fully benefit from all its pleasures and facilities but should always keep in mind that these privileges entail a day of accountability before the Almighty; not even for a moment, should a person become unmindful of his Lord’s grasp and should always remember that whenever the Almighty intends, He can destroy him by sending him a natural calamity. History also bears an example to this time and time again.

Listen intently to fully fathom the greatness of this magnificent Surah that bears valuable lessons for us to imbibe and inculcate within ourselves.

			Hokulea with hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala alihi wa sahbihi samama God once again everyone salaam
aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. We are now going to start discussing the third section of the
surah. This is made up of IAS 16, all the way to 22. As an overview of the sewer, I'd like to say
that so far what Allah has done is in the first passage that we studied the section one of the
surah, Allah established his dominion and compared it with our weakness. In the second passage,
Eliza will describe the favors that have been done to human beings and the authority Allah has over
them. It actually started with his authority over them, and how he's going to punish people who
		
00:01:33 --> 00:02:04
			rebelled against him, coupled with the people who may be in a position of weakness right now but
they will see them through an ally is the is the is the one taking care of their affairs, and he'll
see them through and the fact that Allah has opened up the earth, by the way, is also a it's an era,
that the fact that allies opened up the earth if you're being oppressed in Makkah, and you can't
express your faith of money, the Earth is wide open for you. So it's actually almost an invitation
for you to get out of town. If that's what you need to do to be able to survive with your faith,
then go ahead and do it. Your provision will be wherever you go, you know what, at the end of the
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:40
			day, you have to come back to Allah and the ultimate spring is with a lot anyway. So there's that
kind of indication. This has happened in a few schools in the Quran, also, where, you know, you
might not catch that at first glance, but again, look at it from the original idea audience's point
of view, someone being oppressed inside mcca listening to these IOD and unless as well as the jalila
rule and function funaki Akiva numerosity he is going to see an opportunity I think I need to live
mica you know, I need to get out of here. A similar thing happened it's it's really I don't know
what else what other way to put it it's it's really strategic, clever, beautiful even the way Allah
		
00:02:40 --> 00:03:16
			does this is social uncouth. And so to Lanka boot alarm orbital describes in the beginning how
torture became unbearable for Muslims. Right narration of kebab analysis very famous with his back
was burnt off and you know, he came to the prophet SAW Selim, and then those early ions of suta
Lanka would were revealed. This is again very late in the game in Morocco and torture has gotten out
of control. And what Allah does in in, sort of in commodities first he starts talking about Elisa
Lam, and how he escaped. Then he talks about Ibrahim Ali Salaam and how he escaped fire. So what is
escape from water and the other from fire, so it doesn't matter what you're in, you can escape. And
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:35
			then he goes and calls it out on the tongue of Luton Islam in new Mahajan. nrbc Dini, I'm gonna I'm
gonna migrate to my master, he'll guide me. And when the when the original companions are hearing
these IOD they're not just hearing stories. They're hearing accounts of people that Allah helped
escape.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:09
			Right. And now they're in the situation where they're finding themselves. And it's no accident that
by the end of social anchor booth, you'll find LA to Jeju Island kitabi liability action to debate
with the People of the Book except with that, which is better. We're not going to deal with the
people of the book and Mecca. What are you going to do with the People of the Book in Medina, so
it's kind of spelled out, look, this is coming. And usually, we're probably going to end up where
they're going to be people of the book. So it's, and this is a monkey suit I clearly by my by Mr.
Nakamura, but these indications are there, right? The messaging of the Quran was embedded inside of
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:46
			its recitation today, we don't think in those terms. We just we think of it as isolated. So it's a
buyout, or just things that have theological lessons for us. But actually, literally, Allah was
guiding them through their daily struggles through the messaging in the Quran. It's incredible. You
know, that that was there. Anyhow. So, now we're entering into this third passage in which a large
religion will actually turn his attention back to the disbelievers, which is the dominant, you know,
audience in this era. And as he speaks to them, or those who feel secure, that Allah cannot level
and punish. We have we've been secure. Nobody's touched us felt like they're untouchable. They're
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:52
			there. They're completely secure from everybody else. They can't be attacked. And they had this
sense of invulnerability, you know.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			And so, a lot of those will will shatter that by saying, you don't have to wait for *. for things
to get crazy.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			With you, I can take care of you right now. Don't feel so secure. So he's gonna break that sense of
security. Again, in the Koran. There are two kinds of warnings. Now the the word that just came up
recently, there are two kinds of warnings. There's the warnings of what might happen in your
lifetime. If you don't take care of this message, and then there will be the warnings of the eternal
punishment. And the eternal punishment is of course, two parts. Its resurrection and then the
punishment right but the immediate destruction of a nation the punishment, the consequences, that
alone might bring about on a nation, like the initiative new or new or solid Russia, Hi, my name is
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:03
			Salaam. Those are also that's also part of the talk. So there's, it's a two part thing. So this
slide now deals with that, that the earlier part which is the more immediate, okay, so you don't
believe in the afterlife coming? While there's something much closer than that, that you should be
worried about? So I mean, to begin, I'm into Memphis, sorry. Do you feel safe? I'll translate into
much do you feel safe? Are you actually secure? Will you actually feeling secure?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			From the one in the sky? One FISMA.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:47
			Oracle, be here kind of a nice state enough, do you feel safe, ie the one in the sky or from the one
in the sky? This of course, is a reference to Eliza which has very few facade. This is also includes
the legions of angels, the ones that are in the sky, but majority hold the view that this is
referring to Allah so again, it's also cool that Allah describes himself here instead of a law or a
black man is this starts to describe himself as one of his summer, the one in the sky. Because in
the beginning of the surah, Allah azza wa jal said Allah de la casa rasa Martin, that was part of
his grand kingdom. So his kingdoms already well established, and rebels are taken care of in the
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:06
			skies. The only rebels left then are we're on the earth. So now do you feel that the one who's
already taken care of rebellions in the sky won't take care of it on the earth. You know, that's the
that's the logic that continues here. And yes, if I become one, that the earth might swallow you up,
the earth might swallow you up and hustle
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:49
			album and for the earth to sink in with whatever is on top of it, for a house along with the land to
just drop, you know, for the earth to just be entered into a hole all of a sudden, and everything
just goes under. So this is your sefa and Sahaba. They say Josefa become alone with you, the earth
will go, your homes will go, your town will go on you with it, it will all go in for either here to
move, and you feel safe, that that will happen all of a sudden, and out of nowhere, either here to
move, it will start waving Mario Maru is actually from a larger image who is related to mental
imagery to meet in waves. Also, mood interesting, has several meanings. And each of them gives a
		
00:07:49 --> 00:08:03
			different flavor to this ayah one of them is a particle Moto, a mystery, a road that is completely
even. Okay, so it's like the earth will suck you up. And he'll be dead, and it will get filled up
later and nobody will even know you were there.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:41
			Like, you know, there are nations ancient nations that have been destroyed, whose ruins are 30 feet
deep in the ground. And people have neighborhoods on top shops life goes on. Further here today just
they don't even know there's a burial ground. 30 feet deep. You know, 20 feet deep is an ancient
civilization in ancient burial. So if Allah wants he can sink you into the earth, cover you with new
dirt. Turn you guys into this massive graveyard that nobody even knows is a graveyard. And the earth
will be even on top. Nobody will even know what's going on underneath. I mean, you ever wonder the
homes we live in now? They were there people lived there 1000 years ago, and where they're buried
		
00:08:41 --> 00:09:07
			and really we don't know, you know, the earth the way it was inhabited in which nations came in? How
many nations came in how many nations were destroyed, we don't know their geographical locations,
all of them. Some of them might be a mall right now. I don't know. You know? So the next thing to
get sucked in? I don't know. So now the other thing is I noticed Sora actually also means quickness,
but either here to me, then it starts immediately moving quickly, it starts
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:50
			to get worse will start shaking, but actually, it can start off with an earthquake. So that's the
implication for either here to Morrow to Nakata feasts at ham, Orion magic, whatever they say about
the camel that is very topsy turvy in its movement. It's like it's tipping over. You know it's like
a drunk camel kind of thing they say about it not a lot of sad huh? not attend Napa to faceva okay.
And mode tilava shadid an embarrassment legit in Lima. It's a great disturbance that results from a
terrible shaking. That's why lessons later on yo moto moto Serato Mona, the sky is going to start
waving and shaking in the sky is going to start rattling in. This is actually the earth that's
		
00:09:50 --> 00:10:00
			rattling and shaking so the earth will sink you in. But it might even begin all of a sudden with
some kind of a rattling earthquake, but you're not here to move. Now of course.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:14
			If you kind of take a glance at this is a less saying that the the land you stand on that's been
made humble for you remember, who will levy Giada locomole, Alberto Luna and CompTIA humanity.
That's the previous hire. Now by saying yes, I made it humble, but if I want, I can take humility
away.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			And he can go back to its wild side and suck you up, you actually have become an alpha more?
		
00:10:22 --> 00:11:02
			Or are you feeling safe from the sun in the sky man for summer a new scenario, a concurrency ban
that he might send hassle on you. Now the word hasim Some say is related to hottub. So Hassan hottub
are interchangeable in the disability in Yemen, they had that issue. So it may be unlawful to Yemen
here the language of the Yemen Yemen nights, what that would mean is the fuel for fire, he'll send
things that'll set ablaze, he'll send a kind of meteor shower from the sky or something as soon as
it lands it explodes in a fire starts wherever it lands. That's one of its meanings. But if you go
by the dominant language, then that can language of the Arabs and the more common usage that will
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:09
			hustle first of all a buffer and both are under the spgb. But then we'll have a giant hassy budget
who
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:38
			has the budget to have a pimple or a swelling to come out of your skin. Like there's a pebble
underneath your skin kind of thing. Okay and outgrow so unless as he might send a house up on you
and that some have interpreted that to mean that he might send a disease from the sky. So you guys
will break out you know, that's one interpretation. Others say no hasip is and how Cebu and huseby
will hospital genre
		
00:11:41 --> 00:12:20
			it's the shape of the pebble that's being highlighted when you have a pimple or a growth or
something like that alone will send pebbles or stones from the sky and stone from the sky and that's
why the word calcium is used for when the wind has a lot of stones in it and it's literally like
hail kind of thing but but a * of actual stones instead of just you know just Ice House even a
gelatin Minnesota eco masala Coby Luton was horrible feeling that's why Allah says no or some of us
You don't say that this is what it's referring to when Allah says house even. So if you again take a
step back, what a lie is saying is that you seem to be feeling safe that the earth will beat you up.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			And you also be seem to be feeling safe, safe that the sky won't tear you apart.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:13:03
			So there's two kinds of attacks that are imminent for you one from the earth and the other from the
sky, which is actually the reverse sequence from the previous passage where it began with what is in
the sky and ended with what is on the earth. And now speaking of the earth, the earth can attack you
and by the way the sky can too. So it's now it's going back in that order that interplay between sky
and earth continues for the moon Okay, for now v. And as a customer I'm interviewed as a shortening
of the lava so we'll see know how my water was how good basically in English I'd say How good was my
water? Meaning the Prophet nice, although some who was constantly giving you warning warnings? How
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:14
			good was it? How accurate was he when he when this when this hits you? In other words, you're gonna
be standing there the earth is shaking violently. And the first stop crossing your mind is yo Ma. Oh
my god.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:54
			These words just now it's actually happening. He was right and a little say, then you'll know how
writing was, then you'll get a real taste of how right he was okay, fine. You know, kind of sahan is
kind of the meaning. And how did it How did he turn out? Then if the if the sky starts, you know,
bombing on you with these rocks, then you're gonna feel meteor shower hits you, then you'll see how
good my water was. They By the way, the word interview is not accidental once again, it occurred
before in the scene that was describing judgment. D the disbelievers were defiant now a lot fast
forward into their future and said I want you to imagine that they were going to be saying john
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:27
			Perkins Dubna a warner did come but we call them a liar. You know and we called everything he
brought a lie. I know less as that is what you're gonna say because that's what you're doing right
now. And now I'll take you not that fast forward just a little bit fast forward to when your
destruction on the earth comes not on judgment day but on the earth and then you'll see how good my
wonder was. Okay, for Canon a DD the one the view also here indicates not just little slower, lasts
a little longer. But actually the cunnamulla calamba line of
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:56
			the speech of allies also wonder How good was my how accurate was my speech? You see it now manifest
we would like to see manifest because the defiant disbeliever will turn to the prophet and those who
believe and they just turn to them and say something along with the law. They just say let's see it.
We're gonna show me and allies basically seeing you when you see it, and we're gonna be amazed at
how accurate it was. Okay, okay for Canada, the
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:57
			Wanaka
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			company by the way, before
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:13
			Go on just the interplay of the sky and the earth. We said hello Carl Mota will write so he created
death and life which is on the earth and then he said serve us and a lot, he went to the sky. He
said z in this dunya they went
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:56
			Tallulah. Now he says Josefa out, you see logical fallacy when the earth sky, earth, sky and sky did
this, this correlation continues. And now Allah says, if you think you're so evil, immune from this
kind of thing, it's not that previous nations came, and they eventually died out and we're extinct.
And now they're in Hellfire, actually, they experience worldly destruction to you won't be the first
to be wiped out. And you certainly will not be the last if you if you if you behave this way. So
don't you think you're some kind of exception? Everyone thinks they're an exception. And this is the
mentality a lot crushes in this coming ayah Allah azza wa jal is essentially teaching the lesson
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:19
			that people feel when the warnings are given to them that these warnings are for much worse people
or some other people, but Allah wouldn't do that, to me. That's never gonna happen to me. Everybody
feels immune. And in a much less sense, we have the same disease as Muslims. Not in the in terms of
belief, but in terms of advice. When Allah gives advice, our first three are good reaction is that's
really good advice for some people.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:27
			It's really good, though. I mean, that's a lot of wisdom in it for others. Well, I have a unique
situation though.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:37
			So allows advisors totally relevant, timeless, perfect, just not for me.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:17:10
			Thanks, though. Right. So this this this idea is actually it's an extension of the same thing that
this will never suffered from punishment will come Yeah, I will. Yellow punish, but not me. That's
not this is this whole talk of nations being destroyed, may have been relevant for the pharaohs or
the people of Somalia. Or, you know, US harbor Ross and some mood and those people are long, we're
not gonna come on. That's not gonna happen to us. We're fine. We'll look at our advanced mode
architecture. You know,
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:37
			when I click the COVID, livina, when company him so that's why Allah makes the case for for real
seriously. Those who came much before them have already called all of this ally, they did the same
exact crime. Why do you think and by the way, while I'm touching the listener, Tila Tequila, you're
not going to find any change in the way Allah deals with things, the legacy of Allah, why would
Allah see the same crime and not deliver the same punishment?
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:59
			Why would he do that? You know, so they gave and by the way i can remember and now cuz the Bolivian
company, they were given a glimpse in the future when you say we lied, and now a glimpse into the
past. There were people who called all of this a lie before notice them if rubies missing again,
it's not comfortable Rasul. kurzawa capable of completing the Ayatollah
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:19
			obala he knew there's no more food, why not because they denied all of it. Much like you guys, and
you're gonna admit to it later on anyway. So the Cat Cat, cat cat Sibanda probably in 4k for Canon
Akira This is so epic. It's so hard to understand at first glance, how was My Maciel?
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:45
			Melissa with this Nikita is and Ricky the Arabic word Nikki comes from Luca in Accra. And this is a
DA ha well, football fatahna it's actually cleverness coming. The word mykad actually means cutting
this original giant neck ring in Arabic is actually a really smart person, a person you cannot take
for a ride was really sharp, you know, especially clever against others.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:19:00
			nakara who perform for Arabic students nakara, who a katana who Nakata who comes in the meaning of
kata why the Anaconda mineral matahari bean molecule, aha, a Buddha here.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:33
			Because every one of the people who are engaged in war, try to out outsmart and deceive the enemy.
And that's why actually nakara is used in this in the sense of scheming against and therefore using
intelligence to defeat an enemy outsmarting an enemy being clever against an enemy. Okay. So this is
the meaning of nicaea. Now understand that's one meaning of nickeil cleverness against an adversity
right. The other meaning is actually uncovered is that which is unknown.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:50
			That which is unknown, what is denied for example, and you can see uncommon smartlace little honey,
the most unusual, unheard of kind of sounds the most, you know, something they're not used to at
all. So to me, right from it, we get to you know how we say
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			the word worker is used there, not because it's evil, we actually it's not sharp, it's not the same
as sharp.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:10
			Now we'll find one cover actually antonyms actual antonyms THEY ARE A versus B noun phrase that
which is known Moncure is that which is unknown nobody knows it nobody's familiar with it. It's
completely hidden
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			yet inshallah
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			Nakuru
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:44
			was sarova. Nikita Nikita also means for something to become very difficult. So now we've got a few
minutes clever scheming. That's one meaning clever scheming against an enemy. We've got something
that's unknown, unfamiliar. Nobody's ever heard of it. We've got difficulty. Okay, for counting
nikiti different extreme difficulty, okay, for kinda nikiti and of course, the last one encountered
from encounter is denial.
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			I don't know this at all.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:55
			Now, all of these add flavor to the meaning of okay for kinda nikiti How did it work out scheming
against me?
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			How did that work out for you? Okay, fukada, nikiti, Yamuna, karate.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:14
			You know, you you wanted to make some schemes and even you do the above are the most awful they
could be the MFI. So in that meaning what that means is what that suggests is how did it work out
for you trying to make all those schemes against me. Now, they never made a scheme against the law.
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			However, they did make make schemes against
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:22
			profits. But when you scheme against profits to a law, there's no difference.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:35
			He considers that a scheme made against him. So we'll deal with you as though you were enemies to
him. This is why men cannot do well in law he was when he was in number one.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:50
			You know, allies enemy, your enemy, the enemy allies enemy to you, you know, so now, that's one
meaning. The second meaning is, how is the unheard of thing that you thought will never happen?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:57
			It's so denial easily deniable to stop after you ask her. How is this unknown thing? Does it look no
now?
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:43
			How's it sound? And some other meaning? Another meaning of Nicolas incar denial how they work out
denying me. How's that looking for you? Okay for Canon khiri it is it this is actually sarcasm in
the Quran, Canada, Canada vdk for Canada Kiri? How is it that you know, and then Nikki in the sense
of difficulty? How do you like tasting the difficulty I give you like this, you thought you were
gonna make things difficult for my profits. My followers? How do you like difficulty when I dish it
out? You know, very powerful language, okay, if I can and the key people came from before and the
How do you think they tasted it? How do you think their schemes worked so hard Allah, I will, I'm
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:55
			yellow in a tidy verse switch all of a sudden. And here you should learn something about this
passage. I don't talk about the organization of a passage until the end of the discussion. But in
this case, you need to know
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:04
			there will be two rhetorical questions, followed by a call to reflect followed by two rhetorical
questions, followed by a call to reflect.
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:25
			Allah will say I'm into Memphis summary and yuxi fabrico I'm into Memphis sama and usila alaikum
How's it going? Do you feel safe that the Earth was follow you? Do you feel safe that the sky will
shower on you? Because people before you have come with these attitudes and didn't work out for
them? As soon as he says that, there's a call to reflect which is reflect on the word.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			What's going to happen after this a man has
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			done nothing. A man has
		
00:23:33 --> 00:24:10
			twice two rhetorical questions, followed immediately by a call to reflect from a young Shimon Cuban
Alhaji Adda ammonium she said the analysis was talking so the style of this passage is Allah will
ask you two questions to think about two rhetorical questions. They're not supposed to be answered.
You don't say I'm intamin for summer? Do you feel safe that the wind in the sky When shall you know
I don't feel safe? Yes, I do. No, no, just shut up and listen. It just means you're not safe. That's
what that means. The second time is the questions are going to get actually more aggressive. And
we'll see that in the second part. But now we're switching over to that call to reflect and whenever
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:47
			locals to reflect he makes us look at something in nature. And as I told you, when he makes us look
at something in nature, he's calling on a spiritual reality. So you know, you can see if you spend
your your reflection on, look at the bird, how beautiful its wings are, how they spread, how
beautifully Allah made its beak, it makes such a cute little Twitter sound. And that's all true. But
in the context of the passage, there's a point being made using the burden. So don't lose sight of
the point being made individually. A lot of times when we think of and this is the the problem I
have with glossing over the text of the Quran. Allah talks about we should think about the burden
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			the mountain.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:25:00
			Yeah, but where did he tell you to think about the bird. And when did he ask you to think about the
mountain? What was he talking about before? What was he talking about after? When did the mountain
come up? When did the word come up? They came up for
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:05
			reason they came up with in a certain context. So in what context? Is it coming up now?
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:06
			You know,
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:25
			they look to the bird above them saw thought in way of spreading its wings open and contracting them
in. Guys, let me remind you this is the napkins and Americans are custodians of the Kaaba and the
Kaaba was once under attack by an invincible army.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			And when the Kaaba was under attack by an invincible army use in our house even
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:35
			a finicky birds done Cain
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:40
			bombed the life out of that army and the orphans were gone.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:46
			So look up at the bird Didn't they see the birds? Do this already
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			sarfati
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:51
			in the first memory,
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			but you guys have had a living demonstration of what I was capable of doing. And you think he did
it?
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:03
			Because he was going to physically violate the house, but he won't do it to you because you
spiritually violate it.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:10
			You know, this is the this is the question being posed to Panama. That's from one dimension.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:45
			Then let's let's dig in a little bit more. I love these. I will I'm yellow in a 34 columns or 13.
We're going to look at the bird above them spreading their wings and pulling them in. Now soft
fatten Jenna agnihotra ha, Columbia Colima fall below me, of course, the spread, suffer, suffer
Jenna spread the links. But I didn't mention the wings. Because it's obvious once I'm say Lindell,
not Nevada, Canada in Africa, right. So the meaning is obvious. You don't have to mention it. But
other said Actually, this is saying something more.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:30
			Then they look at the bird as they flock together in rows, they form actual rows in the sky. And
those rows read like they rolls like if they form a V, or they're moving in like an oval oval shape
or something, it doesn't stay the same shape it spreads out. Then it contracts again then it spreads
out. Then it contracts again saw fatin way of witness all the way up they keep going through change.
They keep modifying their formation. This is the image Eliza which describes the question is what is
its calling? What is it highlighting for us? Before we go any further? Allah azza wa jal is
describing the changing nature of creation, right? It spreads and contracts. Was there any mention
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			of spreading before?
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:40
			Yeah, for sure. For monarchy, Hakuna murasky go spread out in the land I spread birds out to then I
pull them back in.
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:55
			And then they wonder how much they spread their wings, I'll make them contract their wings again,
you can spread out anywhere you want. In a mature, he's gonna hold you in this life. Like you'll
keep a bird in the sky. Sooner or later. It's got a Lando
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:25
			you know, sooner or later, you're gonna be pulled in and literally got gotten a little grab, like
grabs equipment literally here means the contract. You know, what is also that alarm. So which I
always do almost consistently, when he talks about birds, he makes a big deal out of them. boards
are not a small sign to Allah. It's a magnificent sign of a love for affliction purposes. This is
the same thing that happens for instance, in Surah Knorr we discussed not too long ago.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:29:02
			Why do we know that because he uses the plural feminine, soft fatin as opposed to taquito as opposed
to the singular feminine, the plural, the plural feminine is actually as a sign of a theme in
Tallinn to magnify something, if it's late, it's not Nakul was late aka whether it's a darker than
then using the plural is actually to magnify it to bring it to life. So didn t look towards the word
burden to reflect upon the bird right above them. And by the way, this is actually calling on the
least bit of reflection. You know why? Because the first bit of reflection was look at the sky, high
Terrapin photo.
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:18
			That's way too much. Okay, don't even look at the whole sky, why don't you just look at much closer
to you, which is what the bird, this is actually indirect, you know, it's directly synchronized with
first you were given warning of something much further away.
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:50
			Then you were given a warning of destruction that is coming now much closer to you. So even
physically, you were asked to look much further and now you're being asked to look closer, it's much
closer to you. So this is the correspondence between those things and imagery. So I will let me
throw in a 3d photo of him. And what he saw fatten is spread out. And it's an essence. It's a noun,
which makes it a little longer, where jacobina is a verb and he and they pull in. And this suggests
that you will have a long life and death will just come as a finit.
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:55
			Right, it'll just just come to an end. So
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			by the way, even from an imagery point of view, you'll notice a bird soaring and its wings.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:32
			out longer, and then it flaps a couple of times, and then it just kind of soars again. So the the,
the soft thought part of it is much longer and the middle part is much shorter. And so that which
you know has more dilemmas given the, the noun and which is more, it's more temporary, is given the
verb. And he says, Now you see COVID-19 number one, nobody's holding them in place except the one.
Nobody's holding them in place in sockets to hold something that wants to move in place to hold
back. Now, we've already learned the earth is being held in place.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:38
			It's being held, it's as though the US oil for us his death.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:45
			The the will our default position is death and the only one holding death off from us.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			Is allows Allah giving us life.
		
00:30:49 --> 00:31:23
			Like the bird being in the air is not its natural position, its natural stationary position has to
be on the ground, it takes great effort for it to be in the air. And for it to be in the air. Allah
holds it in the air, and Ron holds it in the air. The fact that you get to stay alive is actually
continuously an act of mercy from Allah. being alive is not the default position. Being that is a
lie is breaking our natural position every single day with every breath, Allah is going out of his
way to keep us alive. It's like we're all on ventilators.
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:33
			It's like we're all on life support. Literally, that's the imagery of the is we're all on life
support. And this begins with one of the first out of the pseudo helical mode will higher
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:47
			helical mode will help from from where this concept begins. And now it's being parallel with birds
themselves. Others have different different interpretations and different reflections that have come
out of this ayah they say for instance,
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:54
			fallow long usually could be he will always start somewhere party he and Joe homina, Haleakala Anza
terminal Hawaii,
		
00:31:55 --> 00:32:12
			if they were just to hold on to the guidance of Allah, then Allah would keep prevent them from
falling just right out of the sky, you know, and falling apart as nations, just like he keeps birds
from just dropping dead. You know, so he's just as fragile as birds in the year. And he's the ones
making them sort of hotter
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18
			and hotter than the next set of rhetorical questions. Um, and
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:22
			so, um, when
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:37
			you want to hold on to your stubborn position and not think about and not look at the bird and not
reflect and not listen, and by the way, this model Oh, naku there's something in between the smell,
mobile siru, Roku,
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:57
			my smartphone, mostly not Why? You listen, what do you listen to? Don't you look at the bird. If you
will listen to that, what should you do next? Look at the bird. Once you look at the bird, what
should you do? ponder. So there's it's actually three steps, listening, seeing and then thinking
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:07
			then thinking what step is skipped, which is obvious. See, when you're being told to see you should
see later on in this one you'll see on one of the
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:19
			one of Zara either in the order that it's supposed to be. That's the order that's been established
in the suit all along. Anyhow. So he says,
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:33
			I mean, a man had a lovely virgin looking or is it the case if you would like to reflect? Or is this
Who is this the one who's going to be your army harder
		
00:33:35 --> 00:34:10
			and harder as opposed to how Oona Jones is this is from Gemma. And if you want to say these are your
army, you should see how it will that home jendela can have a Navy like this is this little army,
this pathetic little army This is what you have. What is the law pointing to? Allah is actually
pointing to their numbers. That's supposed to be their army. This is the second time sarcasm is
being used for their numbers. The first time was called about will tip her for a second time now.
They're simply called a massive army by the way when you use the word army
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			we can only be talking about war when there's a conflict.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:23
			And in the previous passage we've already seen for Keifa Cana Nikita Nikita has done for
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:27
			Makita schemes against the enemy.
		
00:34:28 --> 00:34:46
			So is this your army you've got the scheme, which obviously won't work out, but where's your money
or military resources? This is the army you have one Sudoku man that is going to aid you against a
rock man in Boone is an expression of the Arabic language is used in different ways. But here's
being used as against.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:55
			Again, Irishman is being used for a couple of reasons. This is the army that you want to have stand
up against oshman
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			one meaning is they denied the name of a man so Allah slaps them with it again.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:14
			Options army are taking on. The second is, guys, who do you have on your side that you have so much
loyalty to? That is keeping you from switching sides and joining our clients and the benefits are
awesome. He is our freshman.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			He's ever even mentioning him his name in the context of war.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:23
			Who are Why are you fighting with the word loves and cares?
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:29
			But you could say you could you're fighting with the powerful that should instill in your fear.
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:45
			It should instill fear in you. If you're fighting with the mighty, they're fighting with the one who
takes revenge. And these are all possible Names of Allah. You're fighting with the ultimate
authority. But you're you're going to present an army against incredibly loving, caring.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:49
			Now, there's two things one, it makes you question Should I really be doing this?
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:58
			And it will make you question it will make question anybody else who might have loyalties towards
you and say, Wait, who's on the other side of this?
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:10
			There's no grounds left. In an army is only so good is their morale. The morale is crushed by just
to use a little
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:24
			pseudo commando, they're gonna aid you besides a man in a cafe Runa enough. disbelievers aren't lost
and utterly lost anything but confusion. And it also means deception.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26
			You know, the word is rude.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			So Dr.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:31
			Bill Boulton,
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:57
			the one who has suffered from who is someone who has been deceived, and someone who has been given
false hopes, they're filled with false hopes. What are you putting your hopes in? The idea of road
here actually suggests that we should place our hopes in Allah, that Allah is the one that one's
hopes and aspirations should be placed in. And it's also suggest that people become defiant and
angry against a law when they are depressed and hopeless people.
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:10
			Like their animosity towards the law stems from false hopes that are unfulfilled. You know, a lot of
times people become more angry towards Allah when they deny His mercy.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:25
			Why did Allah do this to me? Why did Allah do that, to me leaves a lot of people out of faith. You
know, why did x happened? Why did why happen? and allows a vigil here describes that if you're not
going to place your hopes in Allah because you were disappointed by something, we're gonna put him
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:37
			what alternative do you have? Because people like that, who are angry at God and become atheists or
disbelievers, because they're angry at God. They actually stand with their whole life. It's not like
they find happiness anywhere else.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:54
			They're just miserable people. They're cynical, miserable, angry people. You know, and nowadays, for
example, new atheists are some of the most aggressive, mean people you'll ever meet. There are
actually other intellectual philosophical atheists who want to distance themselves from a theist,
because they're way too angry.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:38:07
			So like, I do just, they're just as fanatic as religious fanatics, if not more, you know. So it's
become a fanaticism against a line. This is an income flown in the furor.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:15
			Now, I'm Manhattan avios ohakune? Or is this in fact, the one that's gonna?
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:24
			Who is this that's going to be providing for you? The first one was, was your army? What's the
purpose of an army to defend you? Isn't it?
		
00:38:25 --> 00:38:34
			And then provision is the next step. Okay. If your security is taken care of, then how do you
prosper with it is so that, you know, obviously peace and prosperity,
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:58
			peace and prosperity, the first I was actually peace? How are you going to be at peace? You're going
to have an army? The previous two, I'd actually said, Do you feel safe? Do you feel safe? Well, how
are you going to feel safe if you have an army, but after feeling safe, now you need to survive, you
need to have risk. So if you're not going to turn to a lawful risk, coma risky, is this the one
that's going to be providing for you,
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:07
			you can fight me, you can make an army against a law. And then when you take your lunch break, it's
still alive, it's going to be feeding you. So you can find him some more.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:18
			You, me and your commanders and all of them and your cavalry and the horses, they will eat from a
little disk, and then they find him.
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:23
			Loyalty if an army is nothing, if not loyalty,
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:32
			where's your loyalty? who feeds you provides for you? people fight for their land because it's their
mother. It takes care of them and provides them and you know,
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:42
			somehow the law just undercuts the idea of why should you have a standing army against the law. Why
should you be in defiance against a lion as messengers are the most subtle sin
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:59
			in America who if he was to hold back His provision, weight holding back is not the first time not
accidental? This is this this is strategic word usage and Quran williamsii COVID. My man. Now in
America, this guy who somebody who holds
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:04
			Your life in place and so long as you're alive What do you need to stay alive
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:08
			and if he will still hold back your risk
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:35
			bonded up over to anyone who for this is an insight into the disbeliever in their mentality you know
this this passage comes to a close rather quickly but I want to share with you some some really
profound things I feel about what goes on inside the mind of a disbeliever sometimes a lot offers us
insight into what they think what they're like on the inside, already gives us a little bit of an
insight about them before in the sutra when they didn't want to hear anything.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:41:16
			And he spells out that in more explicit language, he says but lead you and lead you Jani they are
starting to feel kusuma they are extreme when it comes to argument they cannot have a normal
argument. They can't have a normal disagreement, they explode when it comes to the subject. There
are some people you cannot have a civil, rational, logical conversation with them because they will
raise their voice they will get hyper emotionally they'll start using foul language and you're gonna
just like, I can't have a conversation anymore. That is their tactic for not listening. Before they
said if you only listened now lies telling us what do they do to keep from listening and learn the
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:25
			things they do is become extremely stubborn, loud and obnoxious Istanbul filhos, Suma ledger, Phil
Amrita nada AlLahi, WA onion, Sally Fang,
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:31
			like Jeffrey Dahmer to be, I'm gonna be who I am, I am, this is what I'm going to be until I die.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:33
			That said,
		
00:41:34 --> 00:41:36
			you cannot make me move from this ever.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:49
			And I and he refuses to move from that position. No matter what happens, I will not go back on my
word. If I said I call him a liar. Well, that's what I'm going to take to my grave. I don't care how
many people think he's telling the truth.
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:56
			That I said it. And I said it's not because you're convinced is because now it's a matter of pride.
Okay, Piero.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:41:59
			LSR,
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:03
			then we'll touch on Moji. album.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:41
			Why integer actually means when when a wave rises up, and wants to crush everything in its path.
These are people of no charge. They're there. They're completely persistent, stubborn, absolutely
stuck in their ways. And they want to crush anyone, anything that comes in their path. They don't
want to hear it, but not you. But then he adds fuel to win win four to two states, for you to win
one for the way that we do in Arabic actually means at the job was Anil had to go past the limit in
something to go overboard. They say that
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:59
			when a woman stops listening, and becomes arrogant and starts acting like the man of the house and
beats up the guy, that that actually she's got a lot of otu in her she's way or the sheep, like
thrown out the window or something. This is the heart that food is actually unfollowed.
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			You know, Stan,
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:24
			Winston for the you know us that want to run away, want to run off. And so the world war two on the
floor, one of its meanings is actually on the one hand defiance and arrogance. And on the other hand
flight running off. What does that mean? They are as stubborn when they are on offense.
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:29
			As they are when they're running away from argument with you.
		
00:43:30 --> 00:44:08
			It doesn't matter if they're actually winning or losing, they're not going to change their position.
Some of these people have lives describing the most stubborn of the disbelievers. He's not just
describing any disbeliever please understand and look at on when the law talks about people who
aren't Muslim there are at different levels. They're not all the same, and so on. They're not the
same as this surah Allah is describing the most stubborn of them, the ones who don't want to hear a
thing, and whether they're winning or losing or to wonderful, whether they're aggressing or winning
back. There's their persistence to stay disbelievers does not change that doesn't budge. There were
		
00:44:08 --> 00:44:42
			people who were actually pretty aggressive against Islam. But when Islam became more powerful, and
they they said, You know what, let me just take a look at it. Let me just see what they have to
offer, even higher than you believe falls in that category. Even though soufiane falls in that
category. They had to do but they didn't have no clue when Ford came they weren't there was no
modjadji left. There was no stubbornness left, you know? But then there are people who doesn't
matter what I am not going to listen to much pride you could have nothing left in your pride is the
only thing you're holding on to, you know, and that's the disease that's being described. The other
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			meaning of new food, however, is hatred.
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:59
			of food, nephila in Arabic also means hatred. So when you're arming a nurse, or manoukian nurse
behold, birth in Russia for one minute can feed to me to be hateful and spiteful. So disbelievers
are just hated.
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:07
			They just hate you. They don't want to hear anything. And they're not going to give this a shot
because they filled their hearts with hate. So karnala.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:25
			Now, go back to these two criticisms, again, let's get her get an overview. Two rhetorical questions
were answered. One was, is this your army are going to tape a tape up against old white man? How
bloated? Are you? How confused? Are you? In other words, do you think you're gonna get your safety
from somewhere other than
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:52
			the one who gave you all your risk? The one who created everything with Rama? On the other hand, I
don't think you're gonna get provisions from anywhere else. how stubborn Can you be winning or
losing, you know, we won't budge. And by the way, this is a mechanic incident. So to bohan describes
this incident to Quraysh were very aggressive against the prophets. They were in a position of
power, they put the Muslims in boycott. Muslims were living in a cave. They were
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:56
			sucking off of twigs to survive.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:03
			But then the tables are turned lessons, you know, the Han from the sky for Tokyo might
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:26
			be in your shadows. Wait, wait until the lessons that that Red Cloud dust from the sky were nothing
alive was left. People were literally chewing on bones to survive. In NACA people were like looking
for insects to eat. That happened in Makkah, they still remain disbelievers, actually, during the
time they settled.
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:29
			in Milan,
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:34
			just get rid of the punishment, we're ready to believe. As soon as the briefing went away.
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:59
			They were back in it. So Allah describes that in this this particular idea that you know, won't be
people so long as you're provided for you guys remain this way. And even when it's taken away, you
have a little bit but it comes back and you go back to your defiance. And this passage then
beautifully concludes with a description of their stubbornness with an image here's what you should
ponder upon. What What do you need to ponder upon before the bird
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:11
			and the bird was a symbol kind of the the feature the mortality of life I can't short life is like
Allah is holding you alive. You know, watch out for my cabin analogy
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:28
			is then the one that walks around, continuously falling on his face, we'll keep an eye on our G.
McKibben combine Arabic or acaba actually needs to turn down, turn downwards, you get to look
downwards, or to be touching the ground even.
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:34
			You cannot walk in such that that's not what this means. Like you just got your head on the ground,
you're walking,
		
00:47:35 --> 00:47:57
			crawl does not paint unrealistic images. The Quran actually paints something imaginable, every time
and the purpose of a marathon? Is that something you can relate to? That's one of the functions of
it, right? So the purpose of this example of someone who's walking and they keep tripping, and they
walk again, and they keep trying keep tripping. And it's almost like I don't know what to do more,
walk more or trip more.
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:34
			Why would somebody do that? Imagine the scenes the scholars have seen, and the people who tried to
understand this mythical, started imagining a scenario in which this would be happening. One
scenario is it's totally dark, you're walking, you tripped on your face, you get up on your face,
again, because you don't know where you're going. Because it's dark. When you're walking on an
uneven path, it's Rocky, it's jagad. Every time you take a step, your foot slips you fall again, you
take another step, your first steps, you follow him. So one image is that of walking in the dark,
the other is of walking in an uneven path. A third image is you're blind,
		
00:48:36 --> 00:49:13
			you're blind, and you don't know what you run into, which is similar to being in the dark right?
Now, each of these holds true, a lot closer to a straight path. And even path because you're Latin,
so we are calling you to an even path. And that's why the contrast is going to be a medium, she's
Serbian, as opposed to the Red Rocks evenly. And actually even means walks on an even path. You
could even look at it as above. So as I was describing every other lifestyle as jagged and crooked
and you don't know which way you're going and you stumble this way, then you decide to go that when
you stumble that way, and you fall on your face that way and you will this when you fall in your
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:46
			face that way. People keep looking for happiness and list and satisfaction and you know, internal
peace, and then turn from one one, you know, stumble to another stumble to another stumble to
another tumble. That's what they'll keep on doing. Until they if they could only find an even path
to move on, where every time they take a step. They feel like they're making progress, things are
getting better than before. You know, obviously the the idea of being on a straight path, the
imagery of being on the straight path is the more you traverse it, the more progress you've made. If
you're on an uneven path, not a straight path, a crooked path. It doesn't matter how much progress
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:52
			you made, you don't even know if you went around in circles. You don't know. And by the way, every
time you fall on your face, does it hurt.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:59
			Yep. And then it hurts more and then it hurts more and your ability to tolerate that pain decreases
over time.
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:24
			ability to move decreases, you might even become impaired. The other images that have been in the
dark, which of course Allah calls this religion, not just the straight path, he calls it a new, he
calls it light. Blue Mattila No. So that imagery holds true here to the third imagery is that of
someone being blind. And of course, you know, the the AMA and double seal are not the same, you
know, is the will armor will, Albacete
		
00:50:25 --> 00:50:46
			will go see, the one who was blind and the one who can see are not the same, you cannot compare the
two, the one who's blind is going to keep running into stuff. So now is basically saying by the end
of this, someone who keeps falling on their face, obviously, because they don't know where they
don't see exactly where they're going. They're in the dark, they're blind, or they've chosen an
uneven path, which is a stupid thing to do.
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:58
			If you have a straight path, and you have an uneven path, and you decide to go on the uneven path,
then the fact that you're crashing follows your default. Just imagine this scene, there's a straight
road, and there's this jagged, crooked thing. I want to go this way.
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:05
			Okay, if your car's in the ditch, don't call me. You took that road.
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			So this is mamc. McKibben, he
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:27
			is a person who's gonna keep falling on his face more guided, they have better guidance, you know, a
mom, she's a we accept. Or, as opposed to that the one who walks straight, somebody who walks evenly
on us, you know, Mr. Kim, on a remarkably straight path, I say remarkably straight path because it
can wind in
		
00:51:28 --> 00:51:30
			a great and amazing straight path.
		
00:51:32 --> 00:51:36
			So now, let me give you a quick overview of this passage.
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:51
			This passage is actually about what might come very, very quickly. And if you pay attention, I mean,
to Memphis sama, the one who's in the sky, we destroy, destroy you in two ways. Do you remember what
two ways he might destroy you?
		
00:51:54 --> 00:52:00
			He might sink, you sink you into the earth. That was the first threat? What was the second threat
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:23
			he might take you out from notice again, Earth sky. Right punishment can come from either one earth
or sky. Now if you switch over to the two rhetorical questions, the next two rhetorical questions do
you feel safe from the earth? Or do you feel safe from the sky? Now if you skip a couple of hours
and go to the next two rhetorical questions?
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			Is this your army that's gonna help you install rock mine was the army,
		
00:52:30 --> 00:52:31
			earth, or
		
00:52:32 --> 00:52:35
			the earth will swallow you up, and you think you're gonna bring an army?
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:40
			You see the correlation?
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			Excuse me, you're being an army. You won't even have a ground to stand on.
		
00:52:47 --> 00:52:48
			To this way.
		
00:52:50 --> 00:52:53
			And by the way, the only reason the earth is the way it is, is his little one.
		
00:52:54 --> 00:52:58
			She doesn't need to bring an army to destroy you. And he has pulled the ground from under her feet.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:01
			The battle ended before it began.
		
00:53:02 --> 00:53:13
			Now remind me go back again. The Earth can swallow you. So there's no point bringing in army because
whatever army you bring will stand on the earth. Right? What was the next thing argued?
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:17
			He might bring you punishment from the sky.
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:20
			What are you looking for us from again?
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:23
			somewhere else? Where does this come from?
		
00:53:24 --> 00:53:25
			The sky.
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:40
			rain comes from the sky. provision comes from the sky. And if he stops that provision, if he starts
bringing punishment to you, instead of just waiting to get whisked from the fact that he's holding
the punishment off and keep sending this to you, is his gift.
		
00:53:42 --> 00:53:54
			That's his gift. I'll break the mystery now because the subject has come up. But of course he could
be even more arrogant and say we don't need rain. We don't get it anyway. We have some some
		
00:53:56 --> 00:54:10
			convey. Couldn't they could say it right. There is okay, fine. You don't send us rain. Don't send us
this from the sky. We'll get it ourselves. We have it already by the end of the solar cooler item in
US Bahama. kouwenhoven.
		
00:54:12 --> 00:54:13
			So cool.
		
00:54:14 --> 00:54:20
			What do you think if your water was to get drowned your water meanings awesome. Now,
		
00:54:21 --> 00:54:26
			if that was to just get swallowed into the earth, it could be my name who's gonna bring clear water
to you now?
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:29
			Are you gonna be looking on mud
		
00:54:32 --> 00:54:55
			is just the way Allah disarms the Quran. And what really just baffles me absolutely baffles me about
this passage. I mean, I've given you two things. Now. The first two questions correspond beautifully
and complete. The second two questions you see that now right. Now check this out. After the first
two questions, unless head Didn't they look at the bird
		
00:54:56 --> 00:54:58
			then to look at the bird sarfati
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:06
			Yeah, to look at the birds spreading its wings and collapsing its wings. Where do you have to look?
This guy?
		
00:55:07 --> 00:55:18
			Then after the next two questions, he asked another question. He said the one who keeps falling on
his face, is he more guided except the one who walks straight. Walking or falling on your face is an
image of
		
00:55:19 --> 00:55:21
			sky Earth. So how
		
00:55:23 --> 00:55:42
			it keeps corresponding between those two images, the sky and the earth, the earth in the sky, the
sky in the earth and the earth in the sky, but then also there's just wind blowing, absolutely mind
blowing. You know, since I did give this dose recently, I will tell you, some of you were here, it's
a good reminder for you walking straight
		
00:55:44 --> 00:56:04
			as opposed to, you know, as opposed to, compared to the bird. Actually, we have three images the
bird walking straight and falling on your face, right? These are images that are mentioned elsewhere
in the Quran to particularly the two extremes, the one who walks on his face or falls on his face
and the one who walks straight. This is one place you'll find is a sutra Lara
		
00:56:05 --> 00:56:09
			sutala rafiu find for masala huka methylene calb.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:51
			Right. And he's the dog is constantly updated. The imagery is that of the one who is inclined
towards the earth. And he's actually even described like a snake friend Salah caminhar Athena who is
enough and Salah Caminha, he slithered out of the signs of Allah, like the snake has his face to the
ground, just like that. So it's almost like describing the snake. But then he says below shipping a
lot of fat now who have you wanted we could have raised him. And when you raise the creature, the
human being what happens he walks upright. So the moon has exactly the same image from in Houma.
Yep, Sheila botany, a long run. It's not before Knights mean whom, among people are those who walk
		
00:56:51 --> 00:56:53
			on their belly, it's actually imagery.
		
00:56:54 --> 00:57:08
			When we are buying, you know, an average line, you have people who walk on all on Tuesday. So people
are compared to be in the States, people who walk on their face, people who walk upright. And by the
way, when people walk upright, they can actually look up
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:46
			when people are on floors on their face that they can't look up. So all the imagery that came
before, look at the sky, look at the sky again, you know, look at the bird, you can look at the bird
if you keep falling on your face, you'd have to at least be standing up straight. So the imagery of
walking on a straight path, being on the path of Islam. standing upright, being upright is also one
of being able to see the world around you and not be immersed in worldly things, material things,
looking down all the time means you're just engrossed in your own greed and you don't see anything
else. From a style point of view, I'll show you that we are now even though from a pseudo point of
		
00:57:46 --> 00:58:22
			view, we're almost at the end of the solar. This is the 22nd if there are three more sections left
so this these last few islands are broken up, even though they're very few ion. They're broken up
into three sections. Okay? And I'll show you that soon. But I'll tell you something amazing from a
style point of view is so remarkable. The one who walked straight on my young she's been I lost a
lot of stalking, who's the primary case study of someone who walks straight and stands even the and
walk straight on the straight path. Also, I thought was amazing. It was so awesome. Now that watch
this, from the beginning of the surah I'll just read the last words. Last phrases well who couldn't
		
00:58:22 --> 00:58:23

			All the RS man.
		
00:59:12 --> 00:59:14

00:59:33 --> 00:59:48
			At what I'm arguing is the half point of the surah. The last I have the half point of this breaks
the hours, wasted hours and switches to a meme. And that particular phrase is a reference to our
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

			My Yoshi Sabina la Salatin whose name begins with me too, anyway, well, but anyway, that's something
else that's

01:00:00 --> 01:00:05
			Check this out. From here on till the end of the surah Allah will talk to him.
		
01:00:07 --> 01:00:12
			Corn, corn, Hakuna Cole, Cole Cole.
		
01:00:14 --> 01:00:24

to my messenger Salallahu alaihe Salam suku
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:26
			How's he doing?
