Nouman Ali Khan – Surah Al Jumuah #22 The Sudden Nature of Death

The concept of death is not just about leaving behind the internal world, but rather how people act on the outside. death is a result of running away from preparation and signing up for Bayonetv.com to create a worldwide community of followers. The structure of the Quran is also discussed, including the return of the person to their true state, the importance of actions, and the use of " Cameron" in the act of a firel. sponsor students are encouraged to visit their sponsorship page and a recap of a video is provided.

You will be returned to Allah.
Make sense?
Allah chose to say, you will be returned
to the one who knows the unseen and
the seen. What What does that have to
do with this conversation?
What it has to do with is
people that look religious on the outside,
but don't actually have faith
on the inside affecting their hearts.
So the death which you are running from,
it is going to meet you.
Then you will be returned
back to the knower of the unseen and
the seen.
Then He will inform you of what you
used to do. That's the that's the last
ayah for the day.
Separated so,
farrah tafaroonaminu,
the death you are running from comes from
farfarrah
or iftarrah, when you show your teeth when
you're laughing.
And to to when someone moves in a
quick fashion when your mouth moves going like
like this. That's farrah or iftarra.
Farfar al Be'een when a camel shakes its
body.
Al Mafar means a place to flee or
run away from. Actually the wise meaning is
not that that important. A well fed lamb.
Wow. That's a really well fed lamb.
I think it's it's called that because it's
fur shakes and stuff because it's so fat.
But anyway, so the idea of farr is
something that moves quickly,
like quick running, quick dashing.
Escaping also
is is is farar. Farrat bin kasfarah.
Right? Donkeys are mules are there, and they
see a lion coming and the donkeys
run dash for it. That's the word farrah
also. Allah says, Tell them, say this,
no doubt about it, the death which you
are running away from.
How can somebody run away from death?
They're not running away from death. They're running
away from the conversation about death.
They're running away from the preparation of death.
They're running away from facing the fact of
death.
They're running away from that.
Allah says, you can run from that all
you want.
Then no doubt about it, it is going
to meet you. Arabic students will notice here
is a
This is an ismfaal from laqa
which means to meet. In the Arabic language
when an ismfaal, mulaq,
or mulaqi is used as a mudaf, it
means it's already happened.
So that would mean it will meet you.
Actually means it's already met you.
It's as good as already done.
It's guaranteed.
You have to think of it as immediate.
It's already passed.
You know, the difference between
he is going to help him,
as opposed to he is his helper.
When you say he's his helper, the help
is already done.
If I say he's going to teach him,
the teaching hasn't happened yet. But if I
say he's his teacher, the teaching is already
happening. It
is your meter
not going to meet you, it literally says
meter but it it what's meant to say
is, it's going to meet you. But the
language used is, it's consider it done.
Consider it already done. That's how immediate we
should be thinking about death. Then he says,
Let's
look at lakya also. Lakya actually means something
that's that's thrown in your path. And
means to meet someone, to come into contact
with someone.
Like, you know Musa alayhi wasalam was told
to throw the staff, That was alkiha you
Musa. So ilqa was used for that for
that purpose.
So,
laqa means when you just stumble upon somebody,
you run into somebody.
This is why enemy forces when they clash
against each other, that's actually called talaqi.
Idya talaqal mutalakkiyan
also
or
actually.
When the Muslims and the enemies met on
the battle of Badr that was attained Al
Takata.
Right?
And similarly when when,
the oceans collapse into each other.
From the same origin when they crash into
each other. So the same way death will
come crashing towards you. It'll just run right
into you, bump right into you. It's not
gonna come with like a fore meeting or
forewarning.
It's just gonna show up.
Then you will be returned. Now let's focus
on the word returned.
Is the shortening of the chin when you
when you pull your face backwards.
And is a whatever organ is shrinking.
Radad is a camel that drinks water, meaning
it pulls back its udders. Now the the
important thing is rududu darahim.
Basically if you give somebody fake money and
they give it back to you, that's not
real money.
Those are not real euros.
Like you just drew an e on there
and give it to me. Then that's mardood.
It's rejected because it's not of any value.
So there's the Arabic word for returning,
and there's returning when you have no value.
Return because it's faulty. Like when you somebody
ships you a product, I don't know. You
guys get Amazon here? You got Amazon? Okay.
You got Amazon. Because some countries don't get
Amazon. I'm so surprised. Anyway, it's still dajjal,
it's every should be everywhere. Okay. Anyway
So I don't know. Yeah. My weird humor.
Anyway
so you get you get a faulty product
on Amazon and you return it because it's
faulty, that product would be
that
would be That's that's rad. Okay.
Allah says you will be returned,
meaning, you are going to be returned in
a faulty state.
These people are being told you're faulty.
If it was just a normal return, it
would
be
or
or or
you know, so there would be different words
that we or actually.
But here
means you are going to be returned back
as faulty as you are.
Meaning you're not gonna come to Allah pure,
you're going to come to Allah
impure. And that's inside the word rad, you
know.
Now,
You will be returned to the knower of
the unseen and the seen. Why is it
important for Allah to say the knower of
the unseen and the seen instead of just
saying you will be returned to Allah.
Make sense?
Allah chose to say you will be returned
to the one who knows the unseen and
the seen. What does that have to do
with this conversation?
What it has to do with is
people that look religious on the outside,
but don't actually have faith
on the inside affecting their hearts.
And when we go back to Allah,
how religious I looked on the outside,
how religious I sounded on the outside,
how religious I practiced on the outside, that's
all Shahada. Shahada means you can see it,
You can see somebody praying, you can see
somebody giving a lecture, you can see somebody
reciting Quran, you can see somebody dressed religiously.
You can see that.
But what you cannot see is what?
Somebody maybe worshiping Allah
in the scene but running away from death
in their hearts,
right? Because this running from death is not
a seen thing, it's an unseen thing.
Guys, sorry for the interruption in the middle
of this lecture. Just before you continue, I
wanna let you know and encourage you that
I want you to sign up for bayonetv.com
and help others sign up. Or even sponsor
students for bayinatv.com
so we can create worldwide communities of students
that are studying the meanings and the benefit
and the wisdom of the Quran,
and are insha Allahu Ta'ala spreading that in
their own circles. Thanks so much.
What is going to be exposed on judgment
day? Something that could not be exposed in
this life, which is the unseen. So notice
Allah put priority over the unseen here. He
said Alimil Ghayb
was Shahada He said you will be returned
to the one who knows the unseen
and also the seen.
All both of them together, you know, this
takes us back to the letter of the
law and the
spirit of the law. Kitab is seen, Hikma
is the unseen spirit of it, isn't it?
And
by the way also Tasqiyah.
There's a physical washing
in this religion which is seen and there's
a spiritual washing which is
unseen, right? So all these terms are now
tying in with each other.
Then he shall inform you of what you
used to do. Again coming back to the
actions.
First it was what you prioritized.
What you prioritized. Then He says, what you
used to do, the things you were up
to, your actions are all gonna be laid
out in front of you. So in other
words, Allah is now interested not just in
our claim to our faith, He wants to
see where our actions are.
You know, put your actions where your mouth
is. If not just put your money where
your mouth is, right?
And lastly just a quick comment about Amal.
Amal means to do something and firil also
means to do something.
But when you do something without thinking about
it, it's a firl.
So any action can be a firl. Breathing
right now for me is a firl.
When I open my eyes and I see
you guys, that's a firl. But if I
choose one person to stare at, then that
would be a 'amal
because it's a conscious act.
So 'amal includes intent.
Fa'il does not include intent
necessarily but amal absolutely includes intent. So Allah
is saying, He will inform you of the
things you did intently,
knowingly,
consciously. Okay? Now we're coming to the most
exciting part before the break.
I need 5 minutes guys. Is that okay?
5 minutes. Inshallah.
Okay. We've gone We finished 2 sections of
the surah
today,
and I'm gonna give you a review of
section 1. Section
1 was like this, everything in the skies
in the earth just to speed. You said
be hulu lahi mafis samawati wumafil a'ud. You
remember that?
Then he was the king, Al Malik, then
Al Quduz,
then Al Aziz, then Al Hakim.
Then Allah said,
He sent a messenger among the unlettered.
Yeah?
Then He said,
the signs
He purifies them. You can see the connection,
right?
Which comes from the authority.
He teaches them wisdom. And finally He said,
They were utterly lost before. Notice the bottom.
1st he sent a messenger to who?
The and at the end he described, they
were utterly lost before and then finally he
ends, others will be joining and this is
a favor from Allah. (QS. 3) And at
the end he described, they were utterly lost,
before and then finally he ends, others will
be joining and this is a favor from
Allah. (QS. 3)
Notice in the beginning the opening, the blue
and the blue at the bottom. In the
beginning the whole skies and the earth are
doing tasbih, and by the end more of
the world is doing tasbih.
Right? Because the ummah is increasing and tasbih
is increasing. This is a summary of which
section?
The first section. First 4 ayaat. Okay. We
just wrapped up section 2.
First thing
They failed to carry the burden of the
Torah and they lied against the revelations.
Okay. Then Allah says,
Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. Yeah?
Then Allah said, Say, if you have special
status with Allah What was that special status
called?
Yeah. Then wish for what?
Death. Okay. Then Allah says,
They're not gonna wish for death because of
what their hands set forward
the the priorities.
Then Allah says,
Allah knows the wrongdoing people. Then He said,
Say death will meet you, the one you're
running from, it will meet you and then
Allah will inform you of what you used
to do. Yes? So this is what we
went through just now. Now watch.
Let's start over.
No, no, no, it's coming.
What was the first thing?
You feel the burden of the Torah
and you lied against the revelations.
And the 4th item was you won't wish
for death because of your past actions. Now
what are the past actions?
What are the past actions?
Fill the Torah and light against the revelations,
isn't it?
The second thing he said was Allah doesn't
guide the wrongdoing people.
And then he said, Allah knows the wrongdoing
people.
The third thing he said was, Say, if
you assume the status with Allah, wish for
death. And then he says, death will meet
you and he will tell you what you
actually used to do. So you'll notice
14,
25,
and 36
correspond to each other.
Suhala
So that's the first two sections of the
surah. What I am trying to show you
in these lectures also at the end of
every section, I failed to do it in
the last one, is how the Quran is
organized.
You don't sense it when you're reading it.
You can't tell that there's actually a structure
to the Quran.
And every time I study a surah and
I work on a surah, I also work
on the structure of that surah. How is
Allah constructing the arguments? How are they being
built? Do you see how three d this
is?
Like how you how are you gonna can
you speak like this?
The Quran was given to the Prophet
as speech. Surah Jum'ah was revealed at once.
He recited the whole surah to the sahaba.
We're gonna see that study that tomorrow. When
was the surah given? I held back from
that story because the Ayat of Jum'ah are
coming, right?
So
that that
The whole surah given at once, was it
written or spoken?
Spoken and I have to construct a power
point presentation
to show you how well organized the speech
is,
how structured the speech is.
This is actually
more and more evidence how the Quran is
actually not
spoken,
It is written. It's written in the Loh
Mahfool and it's spoken by the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. But it's not just any
speech. It's the written speech of God.
SubhanAllah. Okay. Let's take our break from
and being able to learn that and share
that with family and friends, and they need
sponsorships, which is not very expensive. So if
you can help sponsor students on Bayinah TV,
please do so and visit our sponsorship page.
I appreciate it so much. And pray that
Allah gives our mission success, and we're able
to share the meanings of the Quran and
the beauty of it the world over.
