00:01:17
from Russia, he suddenly were silly. Emily looked at me lasagna to Hakone for hamdu Lillah wa Salatu
was Salam O Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, he was happy he married. So mama bad once again, everybody
saramonic como la Ricardo, we are on the final end, last few, maybe 20 or so I left on the discourse
on bunnys sobre el. And here Continuing from where we left off, Ally's going to comment on the
concept of them not wanting to die, we talked about that exhaustively in the last halaqaat the idea
of wishing for death and how Muslims are properly supposed to think about it, in light of the Quran,
and especially the sayings of the Prophet slice on them. But now Allah makes a very sharp comment,
00:01:17 -->
00:01:58
and it begins with what I didn't know, you will absolutely certainly find them that he then is
actually the original for Mr. g do to find or you will find them the alarm is there to add the
implication of an oath like I swear you will find them then the tunes at the end the shutdown on the
noon suggest I you will, you will, I'm telling you, you will find them this way, it's a very strong
way of making a statement. So in Arabic, if I say azabu, I go, and I turned it into law, I swear to
it, I'm going to go, then I could have been I swear to it, I'm telling you, I'm going to go and when
you add one more button that that's like the strongest most emphatic way of declaring I'm telling
00:01:58 -->
00:02:34
you that this is definitely going to happen. So this form of speech by Allah is certainly not
normal. You'll find it in rare occasions in the Quran, like from Allah to aluna. Yama is in our
name, right? and places like that. So here, it's the anger of Allah manifest. But it's interesting
that a lot actually points this verb to His Messenger solar system. This is what you're absolutely
going to observe, watch them do this. So Allah is not commenting at them directly. He's actually
talking to his messenger. So I shot him and telling him this is the criticism that you're gonna
observe. This is important to understand the direction of speech and Quran is important to
00:02:34 -->
00:02:53
understand because it helps you get the sense of what's being communicated. The sense of what's
being communicated here is you're the one that they are offending. You're the one that whose message
they're rejecting. And ally is so intimate with his messenger is that so somebody speaks to him
directly as though you know, and watch they're going to do this too.
00:02:54 -->
00:03:26
And so in this case, now a lot of talks actually about how the reason they're so defiant The reason
they don't really care to you know, give heed to this final messenger is because they don't really
have any any real concern for the next life. And so the comment made is a harasser nasty Allah
hesston you're gonna find them being the most zealous, here's his shed that will errata it's
something that you want very, very badly, passionate, desperate for something, you're gonna find
them the most desperate of all people when it comes to life, either.
00:03:27 -->
00:04:05
This is a comment. Now, you know, discussion came in RFC does this a comment about all Jews? Are all
Jews just only caring about worldly life and don't care about anything else I've talked to
exhaustively about their, what their beliefs and how they shifted across history, and how the Old
Testament completely removed almost mentioned of the afterlife. But there was some mention of the
afterlife in their oral traditions, even the concept of *, and their oral traditions. But I find
the argument of a Lucy Malala very compelling. He argues that this statement is being made
particularly about the Jews that the Prophet was exposed to in Medina. And the reason that I find
00:04:05 -->
00:04:41
his argument even more compelling, that it's not a comment about Jewish people everywhere are all
Jewish people, etc. It seems number one very clear that the Quran makes comments about the Jewish
community of Medina and criticizes some of their beliefs that mainstream Jews don't believe. There
are things said about the Jews of Arabia, that if you study Judaism at large, even of that time,
they have no such concepts. So they it seems to be a very specific targeted discussion at the Jews
of Arabia, the audience, the immediate audience of the prophets, eyes, and that's one indication,
for example, taking Isaiah as the son of Allah, there is no Orthodox Jewish claim across the
00:04:41 -->
00:04:59
variations of the Judaic tradition. Speak to our Rabbi do the research yourself. There is no such
claim. There seems to be a particular deviation of the Jews of Medina, the Arabian Jews, the
isolated Arab Jews that had this kind of deviation, right. The second reason is actually the use of
the verb wallet. I didn't know
00:05:00 -->
00:05:35
You will certainly find them the you're referring to who? The Messenger of Allah so I saw them. So
the messenger you verb was about us, you and I, then we can still find them today. But the prophet
Alayhi Salaam is not finding the Jews of today, he's only finding the Jews in front of him the ones
that lived in his time. So it seems very compelling from a textual point of view, that the comment
being made here, and what you're going to read on is actually about that particular group of Jews,
that that the prophecies are encountered, and the ones that are now interacting with and even trying
to refute the book of Allah and undermine the Messenger of Allah sallallahu sallam. This, I think,
00:05:35 -->
00:06:12
is an important concept to make concept distinction to make because Muslims in our religious
upbringing, oftentimes we feel that the more anti semitic you are anti Jewish you are, that's the
more more Islamic you are because the Quran hates Jews, or some like, we have these these notions.
And these notions are actually pretty far from first of all the original chronic text. And they're
also pretty far from accurate history. And we have to under you know, undo this mess that we've
created. You know, Allah does not write off an entire nation and curse them forever and ever and
ever. That's not how it works. People are responsible for their behavior, not the behavior of their
00:06:12 -->
00:06:45
ancestors, and the ones before them. If they rip, if they replicate the behavior of their ancestors,
then they're accountable. But they're not going to be cursed because your ancestors did this, this
and this, you see. So that's a little bit about that. Now, one comment I wanted to make, before I
move on to the next phrase is about hating. Well, I didn't know whom Allah senesi Allah hayati, by
the way. anass. Here, therefore, will be not all mankind, but all the people that you've come
across, you've come across Christians, you've come across Jews, you've come across the Muslim School
of all their different religious variations, among all of them, the ones who want to live more than
00:06:45 -->
00:07:06
anybody else, and are terrified of death more than anybody else is this group in front of you right
now. That's that's the comment being made by a very scathing criticism of the hood. Now let's talk a
little bit about Hayato makira. See the master the the idea of life, life, you know, in English, you
have three options, you have a, like a, let's say,
00:07:07 -->
00:07:13
an idea. Or you can say the idea. Or you can remove both of them and say idea.
00:07:14 -->
00:07:18
Or let me make it easier for you to understand because it's too abstract for you a chicken,
00:07:19 -->
00:07:22
the chicken, or what? Chicken.
00:07:23 -->
00:07:33
When you say a chicken, you're referring to just some chicken. When you're saying the chicken,
you're pointing at some particular chicken that you must kill. But when you say I love chicken,
00:07:34 -->
00:07:39
you didn't say, and he didn't say the because if you say I love the chicken, then you have a
problem.
00:07:43 -->
00:07:49
I love a chicken, then there's a particular this one chicken. But if you say I love chicken, you're
00:07:50 -->
00:08:08
talking in like broad terms, right? In Arabic, of course, you have L which means the you have 10
wheat in Arabic own under n which means a then how do you say a word without the A or without the D
in broad terms. That's actually also an
00:08:09 -->
00:08:50
l can carry agency. I mean, in categorically when you speak about something, you put an L on it. So
the ayah expected languages when it then homosassa nasionale hyatts. And then I would have
translated, you find them the most zealous of people, the most enthusiastic of people when it comes
to life, not a life or the life but what life and I would have said life because there would have
been an L there, I wouldn't have put any prefix before it. But the interesting thing about this word
is that it comes in the Nikita form it comes in, which actually means technically, any life. Any
life now, what is the purpose of the 10? When they say one Hayato Matata, Willa, I don't mean any
00:08:50 -->
00:09:26
life, just give me any kind of life. I don't care if I have to be poor, miserable, sick, I just
don't want to die. And I just I just want to keep on living. And by the way, everybody here knows
the longer you live the older you get, the sicker you get, the weaker you get, the less capable you
get. That's fine by me, I don't mind I just want to keep on living though. I don't care how
miserable I get. You're gonna find them wanting to live when anybody else says I don't want to be at
a state where I'm just completely helpless and you know, can't even move around or whatever, I don't
care I just want to live. That's it. And then I'll have this I will have this this idea of is attend
00:09:26 -->
00:09:59
we are in the 10 when an Arabic could be used like I explained it can be any life Just give me any
kind of life I'll take it that desperate, right that's actually a comment of how desperate they are
to preserve their life. But the the mean can also be a lien which means they are the most zealous to
preserve a good life like it can actually in a sense mean the opposite. linguistically speaking but
contextually speaking, I'm find it far more convincing than a lie saying they don't care about what
kind of life they just want to live. They just don't want to, you know, face the prospect of death
and here, there's this
00:10:00 -->
00:10:33
Embedded comment that when the prophet SAW I said on this calling people to ascend, it's very well
known now it's been around for a while now, it's not a new phenomenon by the time these ions are
coming down, it's very well known that if you join the Prophet isotopes around, basically you're
joining the Muslim army, because the prophet SAW Selim is in a constant conflict ever since he's
moved to Medina with the people of Makkah. So if you join him, you're going to be putting your life
on the line. So it's not like today when you take Shahada and you're like, the my biggest problem is
getting up for fudger. It's not that kind of problem there, you're gonna have to sacrifice life and
00:10:33 -->
00:11:11
limb, you're gonna have to let go of family maybe even give up some of them that your precious
belongings and go out on the battlefield and loyalty to those who love them. Right? And so, I take
life in any way. I don't want to deal with those risks. I don't want to take the shot. I don't want
it, you know? So that's either hayati. Now, notice, even Allah azza wa jal describes that our life
the way our luck created life, and I'm highlighting this because of the word Amara, you know, which
is coming a little bit later on, you will do I don't know you amaru and fatahna. That one of them
wishes that they can live for 1000 years they could be given the age of 1000 years literally means
00:11:11 -->
00:11:51
they'd be given the age of 1000 years. Allah says woman nor American workers fulfill Hulk and Sophia
sin. He says whoever we give old age to whoever we prolong an age and preserve that they don't
experience death. New nutcase who fell while we start deteriorating them in creation, their eyesight
starts getting weaker, their bones start getting more brittle, their back starts bending and they
can't walk straight anymore. They have a harder time mobilizing their muscles, everything about them
starts deteriorating. If alata Why don't you think then why don't you understand this life was meant
to deteriorate and you were meant to come to an end? Even at Lucy Rahim Allah at one point, he said
00:11:51 -->
00:12:06
something so beautiful about that, I like that that'd be reverse people in creation and a child
using scaring me. Okay, so is the, the idea that when, when an old man's back bends, he's always
looking down.
00:12:07 -->
00:12:12
Right And basically, he's looking at his future home like Allah makes him look at his future home
all the time.
00:12:14 -->
00:12:25
That's That's a lot of design and creation. And then when people get older, they have a hard time
sleeping. As they get older, that sleep is much more difficult for them. And that's a lot preparing
them for more pmla
00:12:26 -->
00:13:07
like to stay up and I now made it easier for you. You're getting you're getting closer and closer to
meeting with Allah so just stay up, you know. So how Allah so here woman No, I'm really lucky. So
Phil Hulk is kind of furthering the idea that you shouldn't want to live a very, very, very old age
as a matter of fact, this is something even the proper size on sought refuge from the sought refuge
from old age, you know, and the weakness that comes with it. Listen to this Hadith of the Prophet
slicin them for understandably, unnecessarily Malik or the Allahu taala and who Allah calling me
Sorry, salaam, laity, la ma n, mouth, mouth, I mean, Lauren asaba, who none of you should ever wish
00:13:07 -->
00:13:28
for death because of some bad thing that happened to them for in Canada, but for Ellen folia, Paloma
Heaney, Mark mecanizado Heron, and if you have to become really desperate, and you just can't take
it anymore, here's what you say, oh, Allah keep me alive. As long as life is good for me. What are
funny is accounting for far too hastily, and take me away of taking me away is better for me.
00:13:29 -->
00:14:10
Actually, the language here is so beautiful, because you don't say give me death. admit me, give me
death. He says, Take me away. You take me, like put me in your care, in a sense, right? So he's not
even describing death. As you know the end of suffering. He's describing death as a law taking one
in their care. But in any case, now, Allah says these people, you'll find them the most zealous
about any kind of life possible. And then the phrase that caused two different interpretations woman
and Latina Shaku you'll find them even more zealous than those that have done share. First of all,
said that, you know, they're the most zealous of all people and I mentioned to you, the audience of
00:14:10 -->
00:14:46
the Prophet is Jews, Christians and and the machine. But then on top of that, it has the most
experience of the prophesized cylinders with the machine. So it's and by the way, far more than even
the machine like he's highlighting it again, even more than them. Why would he highlight it more
than them? The reason for that is because when the companions were migrating to Medina, I thought
we're already starting to come down about the people of the book. And we the mushy Kuhn, and even
the Muslims who used to be more strict before they had heard some things of the Christians and the
Jews, they knew that they talked about a man named Musa, and an ISA and all of these things, and so
00:14:46 -->
00:15:00
much about Muslims had already come in the Macan Quran. So the Muslims were hopeful that when
they're going to go to Medina, they're going to find a very eager audience that is going to hear
this incredible word of Allah and they're going to say
00:15:00 -->
00:15:33
Hey, this is hazama who are in Santa Monica live Albania. Dana, this is exactly what we have. I mean
Idina, this is what we've always had. This is perfect. This is the exact message we were waiting,
anticipating to hear. So they were optimistic that they will become Muslim. And Allah says,
actually, you're gonna find them more averse than even though Michigan, you think they're going to
be easier? They're not going to be easier for tomorrow new new Lacan, we've already read this
higher, are you actually hopeful? They're going to accept what you're saying? No, no, no, no, no,
don't be deluded like that. They're actually in many cases even worse than those who have helped.
00:15:34 -->
00:15:51
Why? Because those who had shark actually had some concept of afterlife. Some of them thought
they'll come back as a different creature. Some of them thought there may be maybe there is a
heaven, some of them thought there's no afterlife, but there was some variation here for the vast
majority of them. Whether there is an afterlife or not, I just don't want to die.
00:15:52 -->
00:16:31
I don't want to die. And the other thing about the machine is they didn't care about death. like
they'd rather die glorious deaths on the battlefield so that somebody can make poetry about how they
had to take me down after 20 spears. like they'd rather that, you know, for them actually, if you
study the the the thought process of the people of Arabia, the mushy goon of Arabia, for them, the
most horrifying thing was in depth. for them. The most horrifying thing was a humiliating death.
Like is described in what's described in social hedge. They thought that dying if I was to die, like
running from my enemy, and like my enemy was gaining on me and I was on top of a cliff, and in my
00:16:31 -->
00:17:01
escape to try to run away from my enemy, I slipped and fell off the cliff and died. And then people
remembered me as the coward who couldn't face his enemy and died the other way. Took the easy way
out. I can't handle that. And I'll let compares that ugliness to shit. Like if you think that's
humiliating, why don't you think sure, because humiliating the sort of letters in Koran, right? But
the idea is they weren't scared of death. They were scared of humiliation as a result of death. You
find the opposite scenario here. These people don't care about dignified life, not dignified life.
Give me any kind of life. Just give me life. That's all just keep me alive. That's all I care about.
00:17:01 -->
00:17:37
I mean, I live in Ashoka. Now, another interpretation of the same phrase. And among those who do
shake is that this is actually a new sentence. The first statement is done, you're gonna find them
the Mozilla stuff people. And when it comes to any kind of life, they're just they just want to
preserve life. Additionally, now Ally's saying when minella Dina Asher aku Amaro alpha Santa, that's
a new sentence. Now. That's a second interpretation, which is even among the people that do share
it, there are those who will find one of them will end up saying, Oh, if only I could wish, I wish I
could live 1000 years. In other words, this statement could either be attributed to the Jews or
00:17:37 -->
00:17:42
Allah saying among the wish rakuen there is somebody who says I wish I could live 1000 years and
this was something that
00:17:44 -->
00:18:23
some Sahaba actually thought was, that was their opinion also, that this is talking about the
Michigan separately, especially some of the idol worshippers, azura stereotype people from from
Iran, the you know, pharis the Persians among them, for example, they had a very famous Persian
phrase, which now actually those who who speak Urdu will easily understand it G has our Sol it's
actually 1000s of years old phrase, and they used to say to each other to wish that you know, I wish
I wish you live 1000 years, you know, and so literally they heard one of those Austrian say Kala
Hello, Hello, Mr. unfasten. I wish I could live 1000 years, you know, and this, something has
00:18:23 -->
00:19:01
Admiral john also, which is a festival they have, I wish you get to see 1000 yearly festivals is
like saying, I wish you get to see 1000 leads or something, which means 1000 years. So that's one of
the other interpretations. You will do i do Hello, you Amaro alpha Santa, each one of them which one
of them even wishes that if only they could live or they could be given the age of 1000 years. Now
this phrase in particular, there are two possible interpretations. I share both with you then I tell
you what I find more convincing, but you have to make up your own minds. One way this has been
looked at historically is each one of them wishes they could live 1000 years. Another way of saying
00:19:01 -->
00:19:38
this is actually you'll even find among them, a person that might even say I want to live 1000
years, if only I could live 1000 years. So one interpretation is suggesting that, you know, every
one of them has this idea. Another interpretation is suggesting Yes, they are the most zealous of
people. And among them, there are such extremes also, that one of them might even end up saying I
wish I could live 1000 years. In other words, this phrase, if only he could be given the age of 1000
years is not a comment on all of them. But actually some of the more extreme elements among them. If
you might have guessed it, I'm more inclined towards the latter position that this is talking about,
00:19:38 -->
00:19:59
you know, just the few extreme cases even within them, there are extremes. So it's like the IRS
building these extremes. First, they're the most extreme on this matter than other people. Then even
on top of that, even more so than the machico. Then even within them, there are those that are crazy
extreme, they want to live 1000 years, and then they add the word low If only I could In other
words, they live in depression. If you
00:20:00 -->
00:20:35
In your amalfitana, if I could live 1000 years, then the word in has a possibility. The word low is
actually limited Hazara. It's a word used to describe regret, Oh, if only I could have, you know,
when you use that phrase when you know it ain't gonna happen. Okay? So the word low is actually like
the prophets, I send them for betas from using the word load too much for our wishes. You know, can
you met loads after Ababa shaytan. He says, the word low opens up the doors of shaitan. For example,
if you are Hi, if I only registered a week before I could have gotten if I only
00:20:36 -->
00:21:10
if I only applied for my password, I could have gone to hundreds if I did this, if I did that, like
all these had I done this. Had I done that about the past and lamenting and beating yourself up? Why
did I do this? Why did I let that opportunity get away? Why did I say no to that proposal? Why did I
you know why, why, why this is you're never gonna be grateful in life, you're always going to be
thinking about what you should be complaining about. And that is exactly what Satan wants he wants
to do you think about the negative and not think about the positive. now realize actually
highlighting inside this one house, a deep, deeply rooted Jewish psychology that of depression. I
00:21:10 -->
00:21:51
know I can't live 1000 years, if only I could. And now the looming prospect of death, every single
passing breath. Hi, Attica and fast and your entire life is just a bunch of breaths. Every time a
breath passes, I'm getting closer to it. You know, I'm having a crisis every day because I'm getting
older and older. So the inevitability is kind of looming in on them, you know, what we call
nowadays, in modern life Nowadays, people say like midlife crisis, that kind of thing. They have
like a daily crisis on this stuff. It's dawning on you, I've noticed some gray hairs now. I'm
starting to notice, you know, I can't keep up with my exercise or whatever else, or I sleep more
00:21:51 -->
00:22:18
than I used to, you know, I can't take it anymore. I can't stay up like I used to before things
physically are changing in me. And so it dawns on a person that their mortality is hitting them
right at a certain age, it starts hitting them. When you're 1819 2023 25 years old, it doesn't hit
you. You're just doing whatever you're doing. You eat whatever you eat, you know, when you get a
little older guy, I can't eat that I'm gonna pay for it later. Yeah, I can't, I won't be able to
sleep it's gonna.
00:22:21 -->
00:22:23
And then the obnoxious 18 year old lecture is why not
00:22:25 -->
00:22:30
good knocking on the cheese doodles, like staring at you like it was oh, you know can do it. You
know?
00:22:32 -->
00:23:14
The word Rama actually or hamara from which the verb is being extracted, you model the passive form
of it. So Mia Raja amaranta, Allah, Allah and yoga, and yoga, the you know, the word hammer was a
famous Arab name. And a person was called amor, out of optimism that hopefully he'll live a long
life, they would actually even have a prayer for each other American law, America law, May Allah
give you a long life. That's how they would actually you know, a wish Well for one another. Here,
the idea of your model may or may be preserved be kept safe. But Lola Lim Tina, he knows it's
impossible. He just knows it's impossible. And so Allah makes this very scathing comment, he says,
00:23:14 -->
00:23:17
Well, now who will be Museo de Manila Dobby Rama.
00:23:18 -->
00:24:02
And you know, to understand the power of the sentence, you have to understand what the word who is
doing in the ayah first the word who means he and a pronoun is typically used for what is mentioned
before just like in the English language, you know, once upon a time there was a man he left he
traveled the word he now refers to what the man you just mentioned in the previous sentence, right.
So pronouns their general function is to make reference to what came before the Arabic language and
its rhetoric is rather unique. The word he can actually refer to what is coming also. And when you
when what is coming is extremely profound or the speaker wants to raise your curiosity about what is
00:24:02 -->
00:24:10
coming, you know, then they use who are in this way and I can give you an example in English also.
So this concept becomes a little bit easier.
00:24:12 -->
00:24:32
For example, about people who die in the past have a lot you can say, they are alive, right? They
are aligned, listen to the sentence, quote, unquote, they are alive, is said about murders. They are
alive is said about murders. I can flip it around and say it is said about martyrs, that they are
alive.
00:24:33 -->
00:25:00
When I say it is said about martyrs, if I if I pause there for a little bit, what does that create
in the ear of the audience in the mind of the audience carry out what what is that? What is that? If
I started with, you know they are alive? I already told you I killed a curiosity. Here, Omar who was
asking what is the it referring to is actually a new armor. That part a new armor is actually
00:25:00 -->
00:25:23
The Bayan of Hua Now let me tell you what that means in Simple English that he be given that life is
not going to rescue him. That's what you expect a lot of say, because he says I wish I was given a
long life of 1000 years, Allah says, Even that he be given that kind of a long life isn't going to
rescue him. But he doesn't say it that way. It isn't going to rescue him.
00:25:24 -->
00:26:02
What isn't going to rescue him? that he'd be given any, any life at all, but rescue him from what
what does he want to run from? Do you remember what he wants to run from? From death? Because the
opposite of hierarchy is what mode. But if you look at the IR OLED, it's something remarkable. He
said, Well, ma who ob Moses II mean Allah de la mcaleenan mode. He didn't say, and it's not going to
rescue him from death that he gets along age. That's obvious, he already knows that Allah is not
going to tell him that. Unless there's something far more far worse. He says it's not going to
rescue him from punishment, that he's been given a long life.
00:26:03 -->
00:26:41
Run all you want from death. And by the way, by using the word punishment here, what Allah has done
is remarkable in that not only is punishment waiting for you after you die, that your life itself
will become what of punishment you're not escaping anything at all, by wishing for a long life and a
new armor by not repeating a new Amara alpha Sunnah, that he be given the life of 1000 years old,
saying even if I give you two years to live, even if you live a month from now, you're still gonna
get punished now and and later on. One of those punishments has already been alluded to the fact
that they live in depression, but they live a life of low. Another one, you're gonna find later on
00:26:41 -->
00:27:01
the fact that you oppose a messenger knowingly, this is the highest of crimes, Mashallah goon were
ignorant people, they refuse the messenger out of their ignorant arrogance, you refuse the messenger
out of your knowledgeable educational, well educated arrogance, that's far worse. So you're going to
pay the price here. And then later on, well, my whoever was
00:27:02 -->
00:27:37
in Arabic, a four letter route actually means look into someone who's distanced or pushed far away
from something, you're not going to be able to ward off or push away or escape get away from the
punishment, no matter what kind of life you've been given. And perhaps this is actually an
illusionary reference to, not only in the US, Canada, but also to the idea that pretty soon just in
a couple of years, the treaty with the US is going to be break broken because of their own
treachery. And they're going to try to distance themselves from the Muslims, and they're going to
run off into their camps, and the Muslims are going to go after them. After the events of Al Azhar,
00:27:38 -->
00:27:50
we're going to be going after them. And those accounts are described in so little harsher. So it's
maybe even an illusionary reference to that, but you know what's going to happen? Then the other
thing here is that how can this life become a punishment?
00:27:51 -->
00:28:30
This life a lot created it as fitna increases as a test fitna does not mean punishment. It means a
tough test. It's a fitna for you and me in the mamanuca mo, da, da. That's what it is. But for
hypocrites and Vanessa of Medina, those people, Allah azza wa jal added another dimension
specifically about hypocrites and sort of the Toba. He says filetto Angelica Amala Houma la la de
Haan, in nama UNIDO, la Hulu as the VA Home Bihar, what does haka and foster home or home curfew,
don't be impressed with their monies and don't be impressed with their children. This is the two
things you get to live by in this life. He says we a lot only intends to torture them by means of
00:28:30 -->
00:29:06
these things. In number you read the law Hulu as the bahuvida. What does haka and foster home and
they lose the the they completely obliterate their own selves. They eliminate their own selves while
and they remain in a state of cover. They remain in a state of disbelief. This is actually a law
describing how even money and children will become a curse. They'll become a form of torture because
Allah wants to intend intend to punish them people by means of this thing, living a long life on its
own is not a bad thing. We talked about that in our last session a couple of weeks ago, you should
you know, you none of you should wish for death in another Hadith, that if you get a long life, if
00:29:06 -->
00:29:41
it's a good person, then perhaps they'll do better, they'll do have a chance to earn more good
deeds. And if they were a bad person, perhaps they get a chance to undo some of the damage because
they get a longer life. Look at new holiday some lobbies a female facility in LA some Senior Airman
he lived 1000 years, say 50 950 years. So living a long life isn't the problem. But it is a problem
when you're running away from a law judgment. And when you don't want to take responsibility for
your actions. That's the criticism that's being made here. Well ah who will see it won't be my arm
alone and allies in full view of what they do. Now this statement seems generic right? You see, so
00:29:41 -->
00:29:59
many times in the Koran Allah say, Allah is in full view of what they do Allah hobo see Don't be my
arm alone. But you have to understand from a from a language point of view from a literature point
of view and from a loss wisdom really, every time he says these things, they have a new flavor and
they have a particular purpose. In this particular case, if you notice the ayah began with
00:30:00 -->
00:30:02
You messenger will find them this way,
00:30:03 -->
00:30:15
there'll be wishing that they can live without you, and they can't escape that and they can't escape
punishment. It seems that now, it could be that you and I might become obsessed with finding this
criticism in them.
00:30:16 -->
00:30:31
And keeping an eye on them. Allah says you, you'll notice this, let me tell you, you will absolutely
notice this. But don't you worry about keeping an eye on them and what bad and evil they're doing?
Unless got the watch on them, you have other things to do? Well, a lot of us even though it is an
ally, in fact, in view of what
00:30:33 -->
00:31:11
you know, you don't have to be in view of what they do. You don't have to obsess yourself with what
evils they're up to, and how they're undermining this mission, etc, etc. That's not your Let me deal
with them basically allows way of saying let me deal with them. Well, law who will see Don't be my
on my own and leave them be. Now we get to a deeper problem of the Israelites. They, on the one hand
allies now in this previous talks about how how much they want worldly life, but they also know that
a lot of punishment descends sometimes, and it will when it descends. They know even from judgment
in our revelation we know that Allah will send the angels themselves will descend, but the first of
00:31:11 -->
00:31:27
them to descend, Yakumo rule roho one Malaika to write today I miss the the angel of war, meaning
jabril Allah Sarah, and then along with him, the rest of the angels descend, right? So they have
this particular problem with God.
00:31:28 -->
00:32:02
They associate him with judgment. They associate him with punishment, actually, in the Hebrew
language, because the word Gabriel or ghibelline, is used in Hebrew and it's actually borrowed into
the Arabic language. The word eel is their word for Allah for God in Hebrew, given either given or
given in the algebra, or as the English now version of it is Gabriel, right? The word Gov actually
comes from a similar to the Arabic root Java, which means power. And Java are given in actually
means the powerful one that belongs to God,
00:32:03 -->
00:32:29
the powerful one that belongs to God. It's really interesting that the the Arabs of Medina and the
Arabs of the entire region actually we didn't know Hebrew, the prophet SAW Selim doesn't know
Hebrew, but the Koran would actually take the name jubelin and you would think that I found the
translation of gibreel by looking up Hebrew references right Jewish references and that's true. But
it's really cool that in the Quran, Allah will call the release around Lu maraton.
00:32:31 -->
00:32:33
You know, and then the coverting
00:32:34 -->
00:33:15
Hello column shadow Chua powerful possessing my possessing strength. In other words, a lot of
translates up Lisa Rams name in the Quran, without teaching as Hebrew. He just does it directly. And
so when you look up Gabriel's name in Hebrew, you'll find this exact description in the Quran,
without any education of the Prophet himself in the Hebrew language, or the people around him so
panela right. But anyway, so even in their theology, Jebel Ali Salaam is associated with great
might, and they feel that Jubilee Salaam has it out against them, that he's been tough on them. The
angel that likes them is Mikan. Michael, and the angel that doesn't like them is Gabriel, actually,
00:33:15 -->
00:33:45
in Jewish theology. God's throne is there and left of his throne. Gabriel Gabriel sits there and the
right of his throne, Mika Michael sits there. So perhaps the left isn't as impressive as the right
yo gibreel. The left side that's the one that comes to you would have been much more impressive. If
it was Michael though. That would have been I mean, that's it. That's all that's the best you can do
with the law. Like you just got your view. That's, that's one of the implications possible. You
know, when they when they make a scathing comment about you will
00:33:46 -->
00:34:25
notice also that the IRS has called say, declare to them, like the prophet SAW Selim is supposed to
speak on behalf of God and so awesome. Derrida and Islam defends the prophets later gvi salaam and
the legions of angels defend the prophets are set up. And now the prophets of Salaam is supposed to
defend GPRS Allah, it's actually now he's gonna stand up for the angel that teaches him that Hizmet
the US Rasul Allah is the messenger and estado de todo Sula, Hassan gibreel is the messenger. That's
his lawsuit, right? That's the one who teaches him revelation. So he's gonna stand up for his
messenger and says, Whoever is going to be an enemy to Djibouti coal mine can actually read whoever
00:34:25 -->
00:35:00
is going to be an enemy to gibreel. And so, Allah responds for inner who knows Allahu Allah pelvic.
Then, in fact, he is the one who sent it down on your heart. This is remarkable folks because the
word Nasrallah to send down which is used for revelation in the Quran, is pretty much talking about
Allah knows Allah Allah can Kitab ins are now feel a little closer, every time I use it. And as
Allah uses it, for who Allah Himself in this ayah it's very explicitly clear that allies using the
verse
00:35:00 -->
00:35:31
Nasrullah for what gibreel does. gibreel is the one who brings it down onto your heart. If they have
a problem with you basically in Simple English, if they've got a problem with you bleed if they want
to be the enemy of God, and they've been that way, by the way, the word Karna men who are eligible,
as opposed to men cannot do algebra, they've clearly had done had a problem with geometry. And if
they've been this way, then by the way, let me let you let them know. And they can't do anything
about it. He's the one who's bringing it down on your heart. So let them be enemies.
00:35:32 -->
00:35:37
So you told lies basically saying at this point, you want to be mad about it. Go ahead.
00:35:38 -->
00:35:40
Well, he's the one sending it I'm not sending anybody else.
00:35:41 -->
00:35:43
Oh, it bothers you, does it I'll send him again.
00:35:45 -->
00:36:19
And another fella who as opposed to Angela, Angela means to send down one time. Over time, he keeps
on sending down keeps on making them mad keeps on exposing their secrets over and over again. But
then this creates kind of a philosophical problem because of the verb Nasrallah is used for Allah
and now nonetheless, use being used for gibril the satanic mind like the ones that some of these
Israelites had, might say, Oh, so is that the word of God or the word of who? jabril because you're
saying he's the one who sent it down. And so the the perfection of the Quran What does Allah do? Be
a vanilla?
00:36:21 -->
00:36:53
for India, who knows Allahu Allah kawika be a vanilla by our laws leave, he sends it down to you. So
even when sending it down, is attributed to the release ROM. And you might think well, wait a second
is that is the reason the author immediately authorship has returned back to a lullaby what phrase
be there nothing is extra in the Quran. Everything serves a purpose. Everything has a reason for
being there, right? So it preserves the integrity of Revelation. Now, having said that, it must be
stated that Jebel Ali Salam has a very special status in the Quran.
00:36:54 -->
00:36:59
In that the verb Nasrallah, which is only used for Allah was still used for him as an honor of his.
00:37:00 -->
00:37:36
It also is incredible because Allah I Lama who Shadi Dong Hua, the Mighty One, the prince, the one
who possesses great might intense might is the one who taught him meaning tartar sauce. Hmm. Now the
verb teaching has been used for who up later on. And the verb teaching is also used for Allah.
Allah, Allah, Allah Quran, right? He taught the Quran. So this is actually a pretty high status
granted to jabril Ali Salaam, so when you're messing with him saying anything to him, you become an
enemy to him. It's also pretty interesting that you're becoming an enemy to a very mighty messenger,
00:37:37 -->
00:38:16
who you really don't want to mess with. You really don't want to mess with him. But Allah is not
saying he's an enemy to you. He's just saying you're being an enemy to him. So keep in. Keep in
mind, like, you know, people say we're enemies to each other, or they're, they're their enemies
against each other, which means the animosity is mutual. In this phrasing, the animosity is not
mutual, the animosity is directed from who to who? From the Israelites to Djibouti. Okay, so keep
that in mind as we progressed, because that's gonna play a role. Now, look at the progressive stress
also, for India, who Nasrallah who they have a problem, then actually let them know, doesn't matter.
00:38:16 -->
00:38:34
He's the one who sent. Another way of interpreting the same phrasing is actually that Fair enough,
was looked at a suburb, which would translate a little bit differently. Now pay attention to how we
would translate differently. It would mean, whoever is an enemy to gibreel, because he sent it down
to you.
00:38:36 -->
00:38:55
So they're there, they hate you. They hate him, because he chose us we'll also tell them to send
down to as if this was actually suggested by some debate hates us so much. He didn't even pay
attention to which address the messenger was supposed message was supposed to come to. He came to
the wrong address and delivered to the wrong man, he gave it give an error message.
00:38:56 -->
00:39:14
You know, and so we can't stand him like what did he do? He gave it to the wrong family. The wrong
lineage. How could you make such a mistake? And Allah says for it, because he sent it on you. Hmm.
So their their racism is now coming out. So much so that they're even able to say things about
jurulatih salam.
00:39:15 -->
00:39:39
And so now that turns the page and basically says to them, and you have a problem with him for what
reason Masada Kalima been a, because it continues to, you know, vividly confirm what is ahead of it,
what is ahead of it means authority in the revelations, the oral tradition, the entire corpus of the
Jewish faith, all of it is being the good of it is being confirmed by the Quran.
00:39:40 -->
00:39:59
And all the prophecies of a final messenger coming being being confirmed by the Quran. You shouldn't
have a problem with this. You should be welcoming this. You're becoming his enemy because he's
giving you what you've been hoping for. How silly is that? So they, you know, on the one hand, I was
saying why don't you just believe in it? Why are you so offended anyway?
00:40:00 -->
00:40:33
confirming what you have. And what I wanted to highlight here as a reminder of what I said in a few
lectures ago, the highlight of Masada con, it's an important thing to understand. And this is
something this is this piece of it is living in the Quran, because there are people of the book are
still here, right? They may not be enemies of gibreel. But Quran is still mosaddek on this part of
it is universal. You know, a piece of an IRA may be historically contextualized. And there are
pieces of an IRA that may live forever, whose relevance is forever. So we can't even discount an
entire idea. You have to go word by word, phrase by phrase and see what has historical ramifications
00:40:33 -->
00:40:38
and what has universal ramifications. Now, let me remind you of how this works. If I say,
00:40:40 -->
00:41:22
a nice car, a nice car, or a new car, for example, or even make it a living thing, or living person,
let's say a patient man, right? That's an adjective of a man that is patient. Let's say I'm talking
about my father. I don't know my dad is in Europe right now. I don't know if he's sleeping right
now. or eating right now or losing it with my mom right now? I don't know. But I just called him
What a patient man, when I called him a patient man, I described the quality he has, but not
necessarily a quality that he is exhibiting at the moment. You understand the difference, right?
This quality lives somewhere inside him. It comes out every once in a while. So he deserves the
00:41:22 -->
00:41:27
quality. But that doesn't mean that he's living the quality at this very moment. Right?
00:41:28 -->
00:42:11
If I say a man being patient, a man being paid that's a little bit different. Now, I'm not saying
that there's some quality hidden inside, you can actually see it. You understand that? Okay. So when
I say a man being patient that is actually high. And the the fundamental difference of heart is it's
an observable phenomenon, you experienced it, you saw it, it's not just some hidden quality inside
the car. It has been called Musab de Caen as a home, not as a quality. the quality of the Quran
would be it confirms previous scripture, a book confirming previous scripture, but alive seeing it
actively confirms you can observe how it confirms previous scripture. When the book of a lie is
00:42:11 -->
00:42:14
sitting on a shelf in a library. It's not confirming anything.
00:42:15 -->
00:42:55
When the believer in the book of Allah is going out there and sharing what it says, describing to
the people of the book, what it says, then it becomes a hand it starts living the Quran when it was
revealed it wasn't revealed on pieces of paper that can just sit there and that book contains a
confirmation. No, no, no. The Quran was actually words being recited by the Prophet and his
followers, I suppose around the words were being brought to life they were actively confirming
previous sixth scripture in the hearts of people. In other words, by just the necessity of most of
the time, or is demanding to be spoken and pronounced, chaired, talk to have declared all the time.
00:42:56 -->
00:42:57
That's what makes it Mossad De
00:42:58 -->
00:43:09
Lima Avenida de. And if we don't do this, then they're not going to know, you know, the fact that
there are so many today so many today that can say the Quran is from the devil.
00:43:11 -->
00:43:18
The Bible is the Word of God. And this is the word they don't even know the relationship between the
Bible in the Quran, and whose fault is that?
00:43:19 -->
00:43:59
The only time they studied the Quran is to attack the Quran. And you know what, I don't blame them.
Because we didn't go out of our way and show how this is the most loving act of Revelation, a gift
from Allah, that he confirmed previous scripture for them, he gave them this gift, you know? And so
this, they really ought to love Him not hate him, because he's confirming the essence of their
scripture. And this last part, I'm gonna I'm gonna comment on this last part and give you guys your
break, inshallah. Well, who don't mean, and it is it was sent as a guidance, you can actually say
this is unassailable. So it's a continuation of the heart. So he sent it down as a guide. And he
00:43:59 -->
00:44:38
sent it down as good news for believers. Let's understand the implication of heart here first, on
the words Hold on, and Bushra that means that the Quran actively guides you. If a book is sitting
there, and it's a it's a guiding book. It's a book of guidance as the quality of guidance. But if
it's a heart, it actually means it actually guides you as you go. It's living guidance, which means
the believers are now being told, not only is it confirming previous scripture, so it can guide
them. It actively guides you in your life. The more you engage with it, the more guidance it will
give you on a daily basis on an hourly basis. It's the it's the injunction of the five daily
00:44:38 -->
00:44:59
prayers, that more than anything else is testimony that the Quran is active living guidance, you're
supposed to drop the world stand in front of Allah and recite a portion of Quran and activate his
guidance in your life. The next quality that's given is bush law, which means good news actually
means extremely good news. And bush light comes from the word Bishop Bishop
00:45:00 -->
00:45:32
In Arabic means skin. Why is skin have to do with good news? Because some people's skin isn't good
news. But, you know, what does that have to do with it? When you are so happy that it's visible on
your face? Your skin, your texture changes? You know, there are people who noticed I noticed dark
circles around your eyes, I noticed there's a look to something there's there's a pale complexion to
you. Are you depressed? Why do you look like that? And then people say your skin is glowing? What
happened? Wow. I mean, you know, like, you know, like
00:45:33 -->
00:46:02
joy, one of the one of the manifestations of joy is on what on skin. In other words, this book
should give you so much joy. If you start radiating. You start to actively radiates you Now the
thing is, you guys know that the messenger didn't just come with good news. He also came with what
morning, but Ally's describing something very beautiful here. He's saying so how to lie in this.
It's so amazing that this put in this context. Here. They weren't running from punishment.
00:46:03 -->
00:46:05
So Alicia says this is a book of warning.
00:46:06 -->
00:46:24
And you should be warned and beware of punishment. He says no, for people who truly believe they
don't have to worry. It is good news for them. Actually, for people of real meaning right from
people have real eemaan the two things that will define their relationship with the Quran is going
to be guidance and good news.
00:46:25 -->
00:46:47
Look at the beauty of these words. Like now you're learning my relationship with the Quran is
defined by these two things. It actively guides me and it actively brings me joy family gaffa Yahoo,
who are hiring me my age, Marilyn, because of that, and that alone, they should be filled with joy.
It's better than anything else they can collect.
00:46:48 -->
00:47:09
That's the way the more I think about it, the more it makes me personally happy it actually makes me
really sad also, because what have we done with our relationship with the Quran? How is the Quran
quoted and remember, how is the Quran talked about today? Is it a source of guidance and good news
for believers?
00:47:10 -->
00:47:18
As a matter of fact, when somebody gives good news, people come and say, well, we should talk about
al Qaeda to people need to know about Johanna people who haven't told people enough that they're
going to burn
00:47:19 -->
00:47:20
you know,
00:47:22 -->
00:47:56
the AC already isn't working. They have enough reminder of yarmulke It's okay. It could use some
good news. You know, brother but we they get a false sense of security. No, they don't be true with
the word of Allah. For people who really have human heart of their Eman is optimism. Notice that the
contrast now we started with them being depressed, I'm going to die. I'm actually going to I wish I
could live longer. And now you have this book that's giving people guidance and giving them joy. Who
don't want bush law? Meaning, by the way, there's a scathing comment here too. If you notice in the
previous ayah
00:47:57 -->
00:48:05
they in this particular it's a it's good news and congratulations. It's gonna serve as those things
actively for those who believe.
00:48:07 -->
00:48:11
Which is kind of like a slight slight way of saying and unfortunately you don't
00:48:13 -->
00:48:15
you This is for those who believe
00:48:16 -->
00:48:17
you could look at us at home.
00:48:18 -->
00:48:48
This guidance is good news for them. If they accept it, no, no, it clearly they don't want to accept
it. So it's just for believers. And not you guys. Not you guys. And might as well finish the flow of
these out and we can get into next subject. Sorry, guys, man, kinda otherworldly, la omineca t
marsudi. He was a real mommycon fine, alojado wooden cabinet, whoever has been an enemy to Allah and
His angels and his messengers, and God and Mikhail, then Allah no doubt is an enemy to disbelievers.
00:48:49 -->
00:48:52
Okay, this statement, Armando De La Hoya and who heard it
00:48:53 -->
00:48:55
and he wanted to figure out what this means.
00:48:57 -->
00:49:06
This is in the life of the Prophet sesamum. He went to one of their mission as he went to a Jewish
Seminary in Medina walked in. So what do you guys say about jabril?
00:49:09 -->
00:49:10
is so cool.
00:49:11 -->
00:49:16
You just wanted to know from them like I know what Alice has already. You know?
00:49:17 -->
00:49:38
What do you say? And this is actually actually according to nobody This is this I hadn't even come
yet. Other I had come and he said they will probably up There's something I want to know. So it just
goes over and kind of just ask them So guys, what's up, you guys? So this is Ali Cardona. That's our
enemy. Yukio Mohammedan. Allah Serena he keeps telling Muhammad Allah dirty secrets.
00:49:42 -->
00:49:59
Well, I know who the husband was. And he is, by the way in our faith and our tradition, he's
associated with drought and punishment, Formiga evil Sahaba wasallam and Mikael now he's the he's
the angel of vegetation and produce and he brings good news and and peace.
00:50:00 -->
00:50:34
You know, so we don't like them too much. Because you don't Quran. Allah kept sending revolution and
kept exposing them and then exposing them again exposing them again exposing them everything they
think they could have been buried away and nobody knows about Allah just opens it up. And then on
top of that, they say no, no, our book never says that. And Quran comes on says, Yes it does. GPS
hands down actually does. That's what the law says. And he's like, How does he know what the rod
says? If he keeps giving it up to him? We came to him and said, No, there's no, there's no such
thing in the Torah. And then nakulan Francis has qualified to be Tara. Thank goodness, I think he
00:50:34 -->
00:50:35
wanted to bring the Torah and read it, please.
00:50:37 -->
00:50:39
And show me where where it says what you're saying.
00:50:40 -->
00:50:48
Did you realize Sam keeps exposing them through the revelation of love gifts to him to deliver to
the messengers is on, and this really, really bothers them.
00:50:49 -->
00:50:52
And so then this ayah came according to
00:50:53 -->
00:51:21
whoever has been an enemy to Allah and His angels and his his messengers and gibreel and Mikhail,
then Allah is certainly an enemy to those who disbelieve. Now, understand what happened here. This
is not the first time animosities mentioned. We started with animosity, men cannot do eligibile
whoever has been an enemy to God. But now allies saying after they responded this way, ally wants to
clarify, when you become an enemy to jury, let me tell you who you're really enemies with
00:51:23 -->
00:51:25
your enemies with Allah,
00:51:26 -->
00:51:27
your enemies with Allah.
00:51:28 -->
00:51:40
And when you're an enemy with gibreel, because he's in charge of the Legion of all the angels,
you've actually not just messed with God, you've messed with, all of the angels will melodica T.
00:51:42 -->
00:52:12
And all of his angels, they are the ones usually or they can have other lessons angels to protect
the believers, etc. You're not just an enemy to gibreel and the angels, you're actually an enemy to
all the messengers, Rousseau Lee. Now the user being told you're not just an enemy to Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wasallam you're an enemy to Moosa. You're an intermediary is your enemy zecharia
you're an enemy to the prophets who came to you do?
00:52:13 -->
00:52:19
You're going to talk about God, then you have basically declared your animosity even against the
prophets you claim to believe in.
00:52:21 -->
00:52:21
Even though
00:52:23 -->
00:52:45
the passage before this one, the claimed eemaan Allah said that's not the man that schofer the
passage, this one, they claimed loyalty to their Prophet, their Angel, the one they like Allah says,
No, you don't have any loyalty, your enemy to all of them. And by the way, gibreel and Mikhail to
because you compare the two of them, right? And I'm including gibreel, because if it wasn't clear,
would you believe me? Can?
00:52:46 -->
00:53:03
Because you know, they would find some No, no, but we weren't talking about the rest of the angels.
We were just talking about gibreel Mika says, I know what you're gonna say, this is the mark of
like, the perfect teacher, when a teacher is going to put a student like, like, own a student.
00:53:04 -->
00:53:24
And he's gonna yell at him before he yells at him. He's gonna criticize him in a way knowing him so
well that I know exactly which excuse he's going to come up with. And I'm going to eliminate way
that that cuts his excuse off, halfway through, I can use that one. He already preempted my strike.
Would you believe me?
00:53:26 -->
00:53:53
This is not additional, this is actually cutting them off in their path. Now notice they were enemy
to God. Now their enemy to Allah, his messengers, you know, Allah has angels as messengers, you
believe me on all of them? What is the consequence of it? The first case he said for it known as
Allah who Allah called Big Deal with it, he's the one who sends revelation anyway, whether you hate
them or not. Now he says, The only thing I have to tell you now is for Allah harder
00:53:54 -->
00:53:57
than find allies enemy in retaliation,
00:53:58 -->
00:53:59
that allies enemy too,
00:54:00 -->
00:54:01
but for who?
00:54:02 -->
00:54:07
He doesn't say. Lacan lahoma says little caffeine for disbelievers.
00:54:09 -->
00:54:50
This is Allah's way of saying to the people who claim to believe in a revelation, but we're being
hypocritical about it. You are nothing but coffee. You are disbelievers. You can tell yourself
whatever you want, you're not believers. Tell yourself however you want to justify to yourself
that's your problem. You are not believers in a large book. Notice how this is in the previous
islands the last time and did hold on virtual meaning and then here for in alojado nail caffeine
both of them a scathing criticism of the Israelites when they're being told you're not what meaning
Well, you are what caffeine and your enemies to align doing. So to Subhanallah this this mirroring
00:54:50 -->
00:55:00
is really important to understand. So we conclude with diamond shallow towel first session. I'll
