00:00:50 -->
00:01:32
Alright guys, so, we are now in the sixth and final section of the surah Allah so Allah says Allah
Allah it item in Laconia, lahoma, Marian tell them or say do you actually perceive our item in
Arabic is not just physically seeing but also perceiving thinking, have you ever pondered or
reflected that if a lower to kill me violently or give me violent death a lark in Arabic is a
violent death as opposed to imata for most multi simply death, but HELOC is a violent death. Right?
So if a lover to kill me and this is the Prophet saying, if a lower to give me a violent death about
himself, well, I'm not here and along with me, whoever is with me, if he was to kill me and the
00:01:32 -->
00:01:53
people along with me, I would have a minor or if he was to show us mercy, incredible words, instead
of saying, if he were to give me a violent death, or leave me alive, yet again, across comparison,
instead of saying, kill me or spare me, he said, kill me, show me mercy and loving care. So to Allah
life itself is Rama.
00:01:54 -->
00:02:38
Life itself, and we don't wish for death. We wish for Allah Rama. So anybody who has hopes in the
law is not hoping that they die soon or something. That's not that's not the way the Muslim thinks
Subhana Allah. I mean, you deal with caffine nomina Dobbin Aleem, then who is going to rescue or
save the word interesting vocabulary yujiro ajala yujiro Jonathan comes from G and J and G Ron which
is used for neighbor and an actually Giada means for all of you to be protected in the vicinity
you're in. So the who is going to give you a vicinity like you know genre is literally when a
neighbor comes and says I'll take care of you come and hide in my basement or come and stay with me.
00:02:38 -->
00:03:18
And that kind of protection is actually called ijarah Okay, so Allah neighbors you when he protects
you a llama a German Amina now protect us with your company from the fire. Right by being our
neighbor. So bigger bring us close to you and away from fire. That's that's actually Giada as
opposed to Pina Ababa not protect us that's just protection raw, but a job My job is actually to be
in the company of someone and protect them. Okay, and that's why you get the word neighbor from it
ajar. giran, things like that. Okay. Anyway, well, maybe you'll deal with caffeine. I mean, as Robin
Aleem, who is going to protect disbelievers from a painful punishment a few interesting things to
00:03:18 -->
00:03:23
note here is it began with our item Do you all see Do you all see
00:03:24 -->
00:03:57
and if it quite the question begins like that it should end with familiar yujiro comin Avineri Do
you all see who's going to save you from painful punishment? But it says from a Nigerian Katharina
Mina Davina name, it actually stops addressing them, this is actually a third degree on top. What do
I mean by that? In the beginning, Allah was talking to them directly, then Allah said, I'm not going
to talk to you directly, I'll have my prophet talk to you. Now the Prophet is talking to them and
halfway through, he's not even talking to them directly. He switches over for a new job, you've got
freedom and
00:03:59 -->
00:04:35
it's this third degree of separation just get lost. Other implications of the use of caffeine here
is Allah highlights. It's not just you're not just being thrown into * or being thrown into
painful punishment, because you're you. It's because you're in denial. It's because you're burying
the truth inside. So the cause for you being treated this way is not just there's some animosity,
it's not personal. If it's simply personal, you don't have to highlight the quality caffine the fact
that the quality has been highlighted is suggesting that this is the reason for which you are being
treated this way. Please understand that the word caffeine and no Quran is never used as a generic
00:04:35 -->
00:05:00
term or as a soft term. Caffeine is a pretty bad word in the Quran. You're not in a good place if
you're a coffee. You're not you're not in the good books with a light you're not a general just
neutral term for non Muslims in the Quran. You know, we use it that way. We actually use coffin for
any non Muslim and that may be something became coined in Islam in a Muslim civilization in
sociology. We kind of just as convenient started talking
00:05:00 -->
00:05:15
About every non Muslim Escoffier right? But the Quran does and the Quran is actually very emphatic
in how it talks about this particular brand of non non believer, this particular brand and it has
other language for other kinds of non Muslims. Okay.
00:05:16 -->
00:05:30
So there is there's a subtle difference in terminology. Anyway, kinda I'm in Botha Attila machinery
keen and Yoruba many halakhah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam ala Kima Muhammad Al muslimeen,
Lacan Hakan Koran,
00:05:32 -->
00:06:11
una una de basura he labeled monsoon actually alight. The commentary, but even offshore is that this
is in response to something that disbelievers were hoping for. Even even planning for killing the
Messenger of Allah, soulless and killing the people around him. These people have become too much of
a nuisance. I'm far too offended with them. Of course, it's a thug society, it's against our
society. So if you rub somebody the wrong way, especially their pride, in a society like that one
pride is enough for you to kill somebody. Right? So they're ready to kill. And yet the language
isn't in the UK to loony. If you people kill me in cattle to boonie if you were to kill me, or spare
00:06:11 -->
00:06:18
me or kill the people with me, he said if allowed to give allow a violent death to happen to me. You
don't control my life and death buddy.
00:06:20 -->
00:06:36
That's in the hands of Allah, it's actually still defiant. And the language is still defiant.
They're ready to kill the prophets like Selim. And Allah loves messenger is still reminding them
through his words, actually life and death doesn't belong to you. And if a violent death shall come
to me it is because Allah allowed it to and like any Allah.
00:06:38 -->
00:07:19
If that's the way Allah wants me to go, it's not a love violently killing me, when I'm not allowing
you to violently kill me is the implication here, along with the people that I'm with, or if you
were to show us some mercy for up to another Hayato Rama, the other beautiful thing, before we saw
everything Allah created is full of mercy. Matter of money means half hour, this time. The
implication is life itself is a lot more from Allah. Life itself is an act of love and care from
Allah. What an attack he'll actually mean a Nam and actually having a prolong life is one of the
extensions of Allah's mercy. The Prophet slice of them compared dying violently, versus being spared
00:07:19 -->
00:07:46
or remaining alive with being shown love and mercy. Okay. And number symbol hyah tarak Mehta Allahu
walima holy NFV hayati near mountain near Madonna who was NASA Madame Allahu mercadien Hayato while
Hayato mcminn Rama Liana who Taku lofi ha Baraka toliman without malice Allah, what a beautiful
thing to say. Believe for a believer a longer life is actually more chances to sow the seeds of a
better afterlife.
00:07:47 -->
00:08:16
So having a longer life just means you have more time to do more good. So it is a mercy from Allah.
It is something we should hope for if we are going to continue to stay on this right path. So our
you know, our hope isn't we die quickly. Our hope is not in when we die, our hope is in how we die
to offer them algebra. take us away in the company of the righteous, you know, until after Salim
enters in the company of the righteous that's it. Other than that, we don't wish for it. You know we
that's not that's not something we hope for.
00:08:17 -->
00:08:25
Then, of course, familiar with caffeine, I mean, what's the point of this ayah the Prophet is saying
look, whether you kill me or not your problems not going away.
00:08:27 -->
00:08:52
If Allah was to kill me, and people with me who's gonna save disbelievers. The entire argument is
not whether or not how much I've offended you, you can shut me up. That won't change reality. Allah
is talking, the messenger is talking about our reality, and it won't disappear just because the
message disappears. It's as silly as thinking the meteorologist says there's a there's a
thunderstorm coming this way. There's a tornado watch. Let's kill him.
00:08:55 -->
00:08:56
Or let's turn the TV off.
00:08:57 -->
00:09:00
Ha finally we're safe. Stupid.
00:09:01 -->
00:09:10
He's just telling you that it's coming. He doesn't control what's coming. Whether he's there or not.
It's still coming. You should be grateful that he at least sent was sent to tell you
00:09:11 -->
00:09:13
my menu geographie denominado.
00:09:14 -->
00:09:40
And then Okay, fine. You know what you guys do what you're gonna do. Whether we warn you or not,
whether you kill us or not. Looks like you're not gonna listen. By the way when someone's come to
the point where they're ready to kill. Then clearly they're not interested in conversation anymore.
So just tell them who are Romano. He is absolutely incredibly loving, caring and Merciful One, the
fact that he didn't just kill you because you were thinking about killing his messenger
00:09:41 -->
00:09:43
is enough of an indication that he spears
00:09:44 -->
00:09:48
and we believe in him. And Abby, we believe in him.
00:09:50 -->
00:09:53
And in Him alone, we have relied
00:09:54 -->
00:09:59
notice our mana be it's not be here Amanda Lee takana the gentlemen who are not no condom both time
00:10:00 -->
00:10:35
I'm one of them is after one of them is before Let me tell you what that means in Simple English, we
believe in him. And as a result of believing in Him, we believe in his promise. We believe in His
Messenger, we believe in all of what has what he's come with. And we believe in his warnings, it's
not limited to just believing in Him. And everything that he has given us to believe in is itself a
mercy from him. So the fact that this surah is dominated by meanings of *, like descriptions of
*, and warnings to disbelievers, and the destruction of people by the earth swallowing them, or
the sky, ripping them apart and things like that doesn't take away the fact that even those warnings
00:10:35 -->
00:10:36
are coming from Obama.
00:10:37 -->
00:11:03
So that needs to be reconciled by the end of last man kept coming up in this world, I didn't it over
and over and over. Why would that be the case? Why would he keep mentioning a rock man in a suit
that's dominated by punishment? He would mention this, this this is an act of loving care and mercy.
Do you know that the Jewish sacred texts, the Old Testament and the New Testament, actually not the
Jewish testament, but the New Testament also have virtually no description of Hellfire?
00:11:04 -->
00:11:11
completely gone? completely gone? There is not a single idea about the fire, not one.
00:11:12 -->
00:11:15
Not one of our judgment day? Nothing.
00:11:16 -->
00:11:19
There's only two possibilities. One possibility is it was never there.
00:11:20 -->
00:11:23
It was never there, except,
00:11:24 -->
00:11:39
well to see ronell hayata dunya Well, asilo to hirundo upca you prefer worldly life next life is
better and last longer. In nahata lufisto Whoville oola So have you ever I Hema Moosa
00:11:41 -->
00:11:51
the scriptures of Abraham and Moses contained, that the next life is better, and it would certainly
contain why it's better. And it's always been there, except it's not there anymore.
00:11:52 -->
00:12:01
It's just not there. You can find it actually, in some secondary Jewish texts that aren't even
considered sacred. There are descriptions of * in heaven, very similar to the Quran.
00:12:02 -->
00:12:13
But they're not considered part of the Torah. It's removed from this a lot, entirely. It's, it's,
it's incredible what they've done. I'm amazed at how much you can clean out the outside. Oh,
00:12:14 -->
00:12:17
yeah. What do I do home low Yamato alpha sonatine.
00:12:18 -->
00:12:22
Mousavi, mosaic z minella Dobby, no Yama.
00:12:24 -->
00:12:32
Each one of them wishes to live 1000 years and they can't get away from that punishment. Even if
they were given that much years. They tried to get away from the punishment so much they removed the
punishment.
00:12:34 -->
00:12:38
And they're actually similar to if we don't hear about it, it ain't gonna happen.
00:12:40 -->
00:12:59
It just won't happen. My god. What an amazing erasing that has been done across the old scripture.
It's mind boggling, mind boggling. And they say, well, we want to believe in a merciful God, we
don't want to believe in a God that has *. And that's what the Christian comes and tells you.
Your books got a lot of hail.
00:13:00 -->
00:13:01
What kind of merciful God is that?
00:13:03 -->
00:13:03
You know,
00:13:05 -->
00:13:08
Hellfire is gonna cook people, it's gonna burn them boiling water.
00:13:09 -->
00:13:12
There's a lot going on there. You know.
00:13:13 -->
00:13:18
And I say, Okay, here's what we believe about our our master a lot about,
00:13:19 -->
00:13:52
we're living in this life, he created this life. And by the way, he's our master first. He's our
master, which means he has the ultimate authority for Allah, you live, he does what he wants, and he
creates reality, I didn't decide that the sky should be the color it is, or the earth should be the
texture that it is, he made it the way it is. And I didn't decide that I should have five fingers
are the faculties that I have. He has a plan for what he makes. And what will allow him he's the one
who creates over and over again, and he knows what he's doing. So he's the one who created heaven
and * done. He also created the system by which you will what will be determined by whether one
00:13:52 -->
00:14:01
is going to end up in heaven, and one is going to end up in *. Now, you guys and I imagine we're
in this this word this room represents this life.
00:14:02 -->
00:14:12
There's a door that way. There's a door this way. One door, open it, it's held the other door, open
it it's what it's having. But those doors are closed.
00:14:13 -->
00:14:20
With both of those doors are closed. And there's not even a window. So I don't know what's on this
side. I don't know what's on that side. I only see what's in here.
00:14:22 -->
00:14:31
What did I do with our scripture? He made sure he describes what's on the other side over there. And
what's on the other side over there so well, then you can see it
00:14:33 -->
00:14:42
without ever opening those doors. He with his words, he showed me what is on both sides. Look
whether you want to accept reality or not. That is reality.
00:14:44 -->
00:14:59
It is a mercy of Allah, that he painted the picture of * as graphically and as disturbingly as he
did, because if he didn't, would have taken it seriously. No. And if I take it seriously or not, it
doesn't change the fact that it's still there. He already made it. It's already part of the plan.
00:15:00 -->
00:15:06
You're already either gonna go in it or get away from it. I'd rather know about it than not.
00:15:08 -->
00:15:29
You're mad at Allah for creating it or telling you about us. You should be You should be grateful to
Allah. It's an incredible act of mercy that he told you about the consequences of and by the way,
what happens? What happens to people that believe, like our Christian friends, or people who
believe, who lose sense of the seriousness of health,
00:15:30 -->
00:15:33
because it's not mentioned, the word should be,
00:15:34 -->
00:15:35
it becomes a joke.
00:15:36 -->
00:15:57
It becomes heavy metal, it becomes Highway to *, it becomes skulls with flames on them, it
becomes cartoons, it becomes movies like Hellboy, it becomes, you know, a literature in which you
can dive into the depths of * and come back out of it. It can become heavy metal parties with
fire surrounding you and people wearing devil horns and tails and holding a fork. It's all a joke to
them.
00:15:58 -->
00:16:02
It's just a joke. It's just a party. That's all it is. You know?
00:16:03 -->
00:16:09
It's not it's not taken seriously at all. For we don't joke about *, Muslims don't joke about
*.
00:16:10 -->
00:16:15
No way. No way. We don't we don't use the word jahannam. No joke.
00:16:17 -->
00:16:18
We just don't do it. They do.
00:16:19 -->
00:16:21
We don't have the expression. What the * are you talking about?
00:16:24 -->
00:16:28
Mojave Jana? Molina alaric
00:16:29 -->
00:16:50
we don't say that. We don't even throw that we don't do it. Because it's not. It's not funny to us.
And it's not a casual thing for us to talk about a lot of remove that from the equation. Why?
Because to us, it's way too real. It is way too real. And whether they believe in its reality or
not, and they actually do believe in *. They're just bothered that our religion talks about it.
00:16:52 -->
00:16:52
You know,
00:16:53 -->
00:16:58
I would say that is an ultimate Mercy of Allah. I would rather hear about it and cry now.
00:16:59 -->
00:17:06
Then even get to see it a little bit. I would rather read something Ola Harsha. He can then actually
hear the shake.
00:17:08 -->
00:17:31
You know, I'd rather not. There was I'm reminded there was a fellow called I forgot his name. When I
was in 1835, when I was in the MSA used to be a guy. He used to come and do MSA programs. Right and
his he used to do a helecloud called remembering the Hellfire remembering the Hellfire and come into
the MSA room. He turned all the lights off.
00:17:32 -->
00:17:37
Okay, no windows, all the lights are off. And he had this. I'm dating myself with a tape player a
boombox
00:17:38 -->
00:17:53
with you know, D batteries. Okay. And he'd put this tape in and played and it's a it's a tape of
loud animal sounds. Screams explosions.
00:17:56 -->
00:18:10
Crazy stuff. And there's people screaming in pain. And please stop and it went on for 35 minutes.
lights are off. And you're hearing this disturbing thing for 35 minutes.
00:18:11 -->
00:18:15
I hit stop. turn lights on. Just like a low hidden
00:18:18 -->
00:18:20
that is not how Allah Tada. so humbling.
00:18:24 -->
00:18:26
It's not all about us.
00:18:27 -->
00:18:32
Huh? Yeah, it's, it's pretty epic experience.
00:18:36 -->
00:18:42
So we used to make stupid jokes about it. Like, you know, like, it was better than the lecture.
00:18:43 -->
00:18:48
This is stupid. Anyway, some people just don't learn, you know? Anyway.
00:18:49 -->
00:19:04
I'm gonna be he's the incredibly and he's the one who would give us death he would never do so
because he's out of my mind. By the way in the previous i o Rahim Allah. Either he will give us
violent death or, or give us mercy. By the way, he's exceedingly merciful, so he won't give us that
death. It ain't gonna happen.
00:19:05 -->
00:19:41
You're not gonna be able to kill us? Because he's a man. And because we're on his side, how are we
on the side? I'm gonna be how do you become loyal to this king? LLC via the hidden work? How do you
become loyal to him by believing in Him. And if you believe in him, then he will take care of you.
You can just rely that he's gonna take it while he can. not exclusively on him. We have put all of
our trust. We don't need to worry about what you're gonna do. Cuz that's not up to you. That's up to
him. And he Toka it is actually not just a statement of faith. It's a statement of defiance against
the Quraysh. Do what you want.
00:19:42 -->
00:19:45
Do what you want. Key don't make your plans. Go ahead.
00:19:47 -->
00:19:56
Okay, don't forget don't you got us if you got a scheme to make and kill. Go ahead. We'll see if I
can if I can and look at how is my scheme against you.
00:19:57 -->
00:19:57
Let's just see.
00:19:59 -->

talamona men who are gonna move in. Soon you will see who is obviously, obviously in clear open
misguidance and obviously misguided, immersed in misguidance By the way, the law came before Berlin
cabbie, but this this is actually a contrast of one kind of movie and the other kind of movie in
number and zero moving. And now for satella, Muna Madhavi palani movie, right, I'm clearly warning
you, and you're clearly misguided. That's the contrast that's happening here. And when you don't
take advantage of the clear warnings, then clearly you are misguided. That's the contrast that's
drawn here.
00:20:38 -->
00:21:18
The other thing that's interesting about this ayah is he is a man and we've believed in him and
we've relied on him which means Allah's mercy and His care. And His love is going to envelop us and
you're just missing out. Every time the name is used. It's an invitation. Every time no matter how
defined you've been before, you're being invited to make your way back. And the final IR of the
surah is called an item in US Bahama. accom. Hold on, tell them if you were to think about this,

enough for you to survive. Okay, that's the only water supply they have in all of Africa. And so and
without it, the mecca doesn't exist. It can't exist. And so the fact that it's plentiful is captured
inside the word mine.

And then my boss he actually says freshwater might and
00:22:36 -->

00:23:25
that's not going to change the punishment is coming your way. But which kind of punishment or
dabolim that's the punishment in the next life.
00:23:26 -->
00:23:28
And in the last I have the soda
00:23:29 -->
00:23:38
skipped one at the last you don't have to wait for that one to leave a look at bring punish
punishment to you right now by doing what? Getting rid of water for you.
00:23:39 -->
00:23:52
Getting rid of the water and the only way you can spare yourself from the punishment above and the
punishment below is to join us which is Amanda and Ito cola right in the middle. So death above and
death below and survival in the middle.
00:23:53 -->
00:24:25
Right. That's the this is how the last the IOP are structured. I'll tell you something interesting
about the structure of the sutra. There's a famous orientalist, she's pretty good chronics scholar,
she's not Muslim, Angelica Norwich, she talks about the structure of students in the Quran. And
because they look at the Quran as let's see, how can I describe this to you they look at the Quran
is literature. They don't look at it as divinely revealed. Right and so that when they when they
analyze it, and they also critique it, they critique it as literature because when you critique
literature, you say the things you appreciate and you say the things that could have been better. So
00:24:25 -->
00:25:00
she actually argued while writing a critique of this, right, so she wrote some many beautiful
insights about the solar. But being an orientalist. She wrote a critique and she said, perhaps the
last verse of this surah should have been an AVI Wiley hit our Coronavirus, Allah Muna man who have
been, that would have been a more appropriate ending. Look at the end of the day, he's a man we
believe in him. And we have only put our trust in Him, you will know who is clearly misguided
because it's an awkward ending that the surah ended with just water will be taken away. It's kind of
like this subset of an argument
00:25:00 -->
00:25:16
So it doesn't seem like it's a good conclusion to the solar from a literary point of view. That was
her point. Interestingly enough, this conclusion is the best suited again, from a literary point of
view, not even from a faith point of view from a literary point of view. If you go back to the
beginning of the surah
00:25:17 -->
00:25:19
Allah says the body can only be a deal book,
00:25:20 -->
00:25:34
above and beyond expectation, and the constant is the one who has all Kingdom in his hand. The king
is known by his castle, our his throne, and his throne rests upon water as you who Island
00:25:35 -->
00:25:43
and by the end of it, if the king doesn't give you from his kingdom, what does he not give you?
Water? Where are you gonna get it from?
00:25:44 -->
00:25:49
The only place you get water from is the king is the one who has,
00:25:50 -->
00:26:00
you know, has rests upon water. So it's actually and by the way, water throughout the Quran is one
of the most dominant expressions of Allah's kingdom. That's why nano is used most commonly with
water.
00:26:01 -->
00:26:19
I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna allow him it'll be the rest of the I will be singular and all of a
sudden the Royal we will get used when water is talked about. I'll switch over to it. Right so it's
actually It begins with Allah is divine majesty, and the Sula concludes also with His Divine majesty
