overview of the IRS inserted bacara that are from EIN number 40, all the way to ID number 122 that
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:16
			deal with been with the children of Israel. And the intention behind this particular session is to
show you how everything in this section in this long that isn't chronologically ordered. Clearly,
there's a lot of history of the the Jewish community, the Israelites here, but it's not in
chronological order. And it seems to also switch over to a conversation with the Muslim community,
like a Fatah tomorrow night in New York home, Are you hopeful that they'll accept what you're
saying? So let's talking about the historical Jews, and all of a sudden he starts talking about the
Jews that are living in Medina also. So there's a switch timeline wise between the historical and
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:51
			the contemporary, when the Quran was being revealed? How is all of this organized at the end of the
day, when you look at the bigger picture, there is actually a method of structure to all of it and
this structure and this nevan, really, this order is important to understand that because it gives
you an appreciation of the larger point being made by a large religion, and then that helps you
understand the placement of this entire passage, or this series of passages in the surah. And this
is an important kind of study, because you know, in any book that you read, because Quran is two
things, right? It's it's Quran, it's recited, which means you can recite one IR to IR, and you'll
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:31
			get something out of it. Or it's a GitHub and GitHub, a lot calls it GitHub also. And when you call
it GitHub, any book, you don't just read one, one sentence or two sentences, and you say, I think I
understand, you have to understand the larger context. And that's what we're going to try to do,
inshallah. So to get started, the first thing I'd like to give you is a kind of visual framework.
And that is that what I want you to embed in your minds is that this section, that's 82 yards from
number 40, all the way to 122, is made up of 19 sections. So that's quite a few sections, right? And
how do you kind of make a mental map of these 19 sections? Well, the way to do that is rather easy.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:06
			If you look at this diagram that I've made, this is actually a visual representation of the 19
sections that are in the solar, you'll notice this is you don't have to count their 19 boxes there.
Okay. But there are three of them that are read. Okay, so what happens in the surah? Is that you
have an introductory passage on the Israelites, yeah, but he is slightly less guru named Mattila de
rantala, como phobia de houfy, big como Aya, for HUBZone. And that passage that does that first
passage, it begins and ends with the same call, actually, that the other concludes is also Yeah,
when he saw it as guru near materiality and unto alikum. Well, what only forgot to come under I
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:42
			mean, right. So that that entire passage is the introductory, the Israelites are being called except
this revelation that's in red, because that's where the thing starts. When you travel all the way to
the end, what would I say was the last I have this discussion? I have number 122. You find exactly
the same narrative once again, yeah, buddy. Sorry, let's go to near materiality and unterlagen.
Well, enough about to come to you. So you find the repetition. And in a sense, it is reminding you
of where this conversation began. So and that's those are the items that we haven't covered in our
loose yet. We will today in shallow Thailand the next session. But for now, what I want to highlight
		
00:03:42 --> 00:04:15
			first and foremost is where this conversation began, is actually exactly where this conversation is
coming to an end. But it's bringing it to a close. And it's adding some things that weren't said
before to complete the subject. This is a lovely way of doing it, Manuel hajah. Right, he completes
his case, by mentioning something in the beginning, leaving some things and then completing them way
at the end. And that leaves the middle, right. So I've, I've given you a beginning and an end, and
I've highlighted in this diagram, sort of a middle, that middle, I'll leave as a mystery for now.
You know what that's talking about. But inshallah we'll come back to it, and then I'll share with
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:49
			you why that's so important, why that constitutes the middle. But in any case, if you take the how
many sections that I say there were 19, and I've taken three of them out the beginning, the middle
and the end, I've taken those out how many left? There 16, left, right. And so what happens with
these 16 is seven of them are on one side, and nine of them are on the other side. So these whites
that you see there's seven boxes on this side and nine on the other side. And you'll see why isn't
it eight and eight? Why isn't it just evened out? Well, there's a reason for that too. They're
they're actually organized a certain way where these seven come together and later on the other nine
		
00:04:49 --> 00:05:00
			come together. Okay, so let's talk a little bit about that. So this is the overview. And we're gonna
dig a little bit into that first section if you keep moving two slides ahead. So now we are in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:13
			That first group of seven passages three, we've already taken out introduction middle and we're in
this first group of seven passages. The first of them if you tap is the fit islands, if not j
nakoma. Ali felonious una cosa.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:47
			Como esta el campo de la cumbre emmalin. Allah tells the Israelites, he rescued you from the
Pharaoh, you were basically going to die, there was no way for you to escape, he was gonna kill
every single one of you. But Allah opened the water and you were able to escape and he killed your
enemy. Even if, by the way, if you just escaped, and he didn't die, you would have found a way to
cross the water and kill you anyway. So not only that, he helped you cross the water, he killed your
enemy, too. He drowned. He drowned your enemy as well. Right? So there's two parts to the paper. One
is that he rescued them. Two is he killed, they're executed, you know, the one that was coming after
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:26
			them and trying to kill them. I'll move along rather quickly. In the next passage, Allah talks about
the fact that you made it all the way across into the desert. And when Moosa left you for a little
while you started worshipping the calf. And you you know so much of it. He went from Bollywood, you
started worshiping the calf, as soon as he left, not much after him, and you were you're the ones
doing wrong. How could you do this after Allah had rescued you in this way? So that's the second
discussion that comes up, followed by a long discussion. And this discussion is made up of time and
time again, Allah gave them instructions. Allah said, enter into this town, when you enter, enter in
		
00:06:26 --> 00:07:00
			a state of such that Allah tell them Messiah, Sam came and told them, I'll let you slaughter a cow.
One thing after another icom came from Allah, which I call the Old Covenant, meaning the old the
Hebrew Bible, the instructions for musala Islam, one after the other, they were told, do this, do
this, do this, do this, do this. And they kept violating that one after the other after the other
after the other, and it culminates in the story of the cow. So there are multiple violations in the
Old Covenant. And the worst of them are lunches when they made them not only did they not obey, but
they made a mockery out of bizarrely slam, and the instructions also, right. And as as soon as that
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:37
			happens, Allah mentions this really profound ayah. So not such kulu medallic. For here, calahorra
shall be shadow cast a very interesting parable, I'll make some, some reference to it, tell you some
things about it. Allah says your hearts became hard, even worse than stone. That's what he says to
them. Now let's go back for a second. First, he called that I'm skipping the introductory passage in
the concluding passage, right, so I'm starting with number two. And number two, you know, the
pharaoh came in, you know, and he rescued you from the Pharaoh, you ended up worshiping worshiping
the calf instead of worshiping Allah who rescued you, you violated multiple instructions. And after
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:11
			doing all of these crimes, and instead of being grateful and seeking less forgiveness, by the way,
those are the two things keep coming up over and over again, one, they have to, they have to be
grateful. Grateful for things like, you know, escaping the pharaoh grateful for things like the
cloud hovering above their head, or mundane salwaar. They have to be grateful for those things. And
two, they have to seek forgiveness for disobeying Allah. Those are the two things that keep coming
up. As a matter of fact, they're even the two things that come up in the very beginning. Yeah, but
he saw a lot Caronia MIT and lithium to Alico mentioned the favor it when you mentioned the
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:32
			favorite, what do you mean, grateful, but tacoman that a gene of Santa Ana absentia be afraid of a
day when nobody will benefit Anybody else? Meaning seek forgiveness. So there's this gratitude and
forgiveness that come from the very beginning, anyway, unless and by the way, who what kind of
person will see gratitude. Someone who has a heart believer in Canada who
		
00:08:33 --> 00:09:09
			will seek forgiveness who feels bad in their heart, but Allah describes their heart and what does he
say if you go to the next one Posey from kosaku, calm, your hearts became hard. They even became
worse than stone. And then interestingly, Allah describes three kinds of stones like they're worse
than stone. But there are three kinds of stones. In other words, there are three kinds of hearts.
And I just want to highlight one of them which I put in the title here, stones fall, the last of
them. Were in the Minghella, Maja Vito, in Hershey Attila among the stones, there are those that
fall out of the fear of Allah. By the way, you have to understand stones are being compared to
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:37
			hearts. That's the comparison in this ayah. And when a stone falls from the fear of Allah, Allah is
describing a heart falling out of the fear of Allah and a heart falling out of the fear of Allah is
the image of such that because when we fall into such that what are we doing, we're falling out of
the fear of alarm. That's what that is. Okay? Now, from there, Allah mentions it not in another
passage, this is rather long also from 75 to 91. A lot so it just says they're not going to accept
the Quran.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:59
			Why do you think they'll accept the Quran they didn't even accept their own book. In other words,
previously, the argument made while you I gave you multiple instructions through Moosa, you didn't
even follow those. Then the Muslims of Medina are being told by the way these Israelites, they're
not going to have any courtesy to the Quran. They didn't even have courtesy to the Old Covenant.
Forget this new one, not even to the old one.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:36
			You know, California for many years marijuana llama la familia, una comunidad de La Colonia lagoon.
They used to hear the speech of a lion change it knowingly. So you think they're just going to
accept what you're saying? That point is made very emphatically in these ayat, followed by he takes
them back when they say, No, no, we don't have to believe what you have. We already have something
we believe in. Allah says, really? You have human? Aren't you the people who worship the calf? What
kind of human is this? So he brings up the calf again. And then at the end of this discussion, he
says these people their problem is they love this life too much. They have no concern of the hero.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:12
			They wish each of them wishes they could live 1000 years. Yeah, what do I don't know. You're Mr.
Alpha Sana ma Hua Musashi, he may not be a new ama, none of them will escape the punishment of
death. You know, under the onslaught of death, no matter how long they get to live on the law will
be lawfully non matamanoa. Now, if you look at this entire group seven, if you count the boxes,
there are seven of them. Something incredible is happening. On the one hand, they escaped to Pharaoh
because they were about to be killed. You remember, if you look right across at the very end, they
are afraid of dying, and they wish they could live 1000 years. The second discussion was they
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:46
			worship the calf. And the second last discussion is also their worship the cat on the third and here
there's the Old Covenant the instructions Allah gave to the Israelites that they failed to follow.
On the flip side of it, Allah azza wa jal is giving them instructions, telling the Muslims they're
not going to follow the Quran because they didn't follow their own that so the arguments are
actually entirely symmetrical. And what's the heart of the whole thing, the pun intended, the hearts
became hard. That's the real reason all of this happened. The real reason all of this occurred is
because their hearts turned into stone or even worse than stone, you will be so far. That is group
		
00:11:46 --> 00:12:21
			one. So now let me take you back, just to help you visualize where we are once again. So that that
was the group I just covered. And that's the whole thing. If the next slide, that's the whole
picture, right? That's the entire thing. And now I'm going to take you to the second group.
Remember, I'm skipping beginning, middle and end I already talked about those, right? So I'm just
going group one and group two. So let's do the overview of group two. The first thing that comes up
here, in a couple of ions 104 to 106, is that they make fun they first of all, they doubt
revelation. They say How come no miracles come to us?
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:44
			How come we don't see it? I mean, he we don't see the angel coming? Why should we accepted and on
top of that they make fun of this revelation, they make a mockery out of this revelation that's
happening in 104 to 106. Then Allah azza wa jal reminds them you're not just making a mockery out of
Revelation, you're making a mockery out of Allah. Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, Allah Allah homolka
sumati love mmamoloko mundo de la him invaluable and
		
00:12:45 --> 00:13:19
			don't make a mockery out of Allah. Allah reminds them of his power. Then he says, Are you
questioning your messenger the way Musa was before you people disrespected Musab today do not enter
saludos Hola, como como su ella musalman COVID? Are you going to disrespect your messenger challenge
him and question him the way Musa was before? This is you replacing your faith with your disbelief.
And then the conversation goes on. And Allah describes how defiant they are. On the one hand,
they're being asked to accept this revelation. They give their ultimate reason they say we don't
have to accept or odd nobody's going to generally accept us and Christians anyway. Hello Jana 11
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:58
			cada houden una Sora they just came out and said it. So that's the progression of the conversation.
I'll take you to the middle. Allah says no, no, no, you've got that wrong tilka my new home will
have to go Hannah Coleman quantum Sadiq been using using Christians are the only ones going to
Agenda These are your wishful thoughts bring your evidence is better. When a slimmer watch how hula
whoever submits his face to Allah. Whoever submits his face to Allah and excels fellow who are Judo
who ended up be what I hope when I lay him when he's the one that gets compensation with his master,
there's no fear and no grief for them. When you submit your face to Allah, what is that an image of
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:37
			submitting your face to Allah? So dude, does that remind you of anything? The middle of the previous
group was what? rocks falling and the rocks were a reminder of what the hearts falling which was
should salute and now the one who submits his face which is also what so dude once again Subhana
Allah. Then on the flip side, you as the conversation continues, unless as we'll call it Ilya,
hoodoo laziness Allah Allah He will call it a masala do who do it, don't get up. Jews come out and
say Christians have no basis they're completely wrong. And then the Christians come out and say,
Jews have no basis they're completely wrong. In other words, previously, when they ganged up against
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:46
			the Muslims, they said the only people going to heaven are Jews and Christians. But later on, they
even invalidate each other they end up contradicting and conflicting with each other.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:59
			Allah then says woman of a massage de la nuit Coronavirus, Mousavi Harada who could be worse than a
person that corrupts massage. It basically keeps his name from being mentioned in the houses of
Allah.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:34
			tries to corrupt them and, you know, disrupt them, distort them. This is actually what we talked
about in our last dose. It's two things. It's the wish raccoon putting idols around the Kaaba. And
it's the yahood who turned this the masjid, the synagogue, which they call now the machine into a
place for their politics. It wasn't a place to worship ally anymore. It was a power struggle who's
going to be leading who's going to be in charge? Because for them religion and politics became
inseparable. So the machine became a political place for them. Right? So unless as that's also not
mentioning a last name, so there's two kinds of corruption, one done by the Jews and Christians and
		
00:15:34 --> 00:16:11
			the other done by the machico. And then Allah says, will you know will Illa * machico al Mosley
boo for a nama to a loofa Mashallah. And he says, but do somehow it will out with acaba de la
Miranda and mia akula, Hakuna allies the unique one that created the skies in the earth. He doesn't
take a son he mentioned his though he'd he mentioned how unique he is and how he created everything.
He reminds them of the lost power. In other words, you can desecrate the last question, you think
ally doesn't have the power to restore his massagin? Who do you think you're wrestling with, you
know, and then from there, the conversation ensues. And Allah mentions yet again, doubts they have
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:46
			about the Quran. And again, then I mentioned that they're stubborn, they won't change their ways.
You know, Linda Blanca, Hola, masala, Tata, Dr. maletto, they're not going to be happy, they're just
going to be stuck in their ways until they, you follow their religion, etc. So now if you if you
look at the second group, once again, an incredible symmetry has taken place. The first passage was
about their doubts and their mockery. And if you look across the last one is also about their doubts
and their stubbornness. Here on this side, the second group, the second group of my awkward was
about a less power. And the second last group is about Allah's oneness, because both of them were
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:12
			important to internalize. On the one hand, the messengers are being disrespected and disregarded.
And on the other hand, the massages are being disrespected and disregarded, on the one hand, using
Christians come together against you, and on the other hand, are using Christians invalidate each
other. They nullify each other. And what's left in the middle is the only the only positive passage
and the only positive passages you need to be those who submit your faces to Allah but I'm an Eslava
who lillah
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:49
			Allahu Allahu Allah. Allahu alayhi. Salam, yes or no. So if we move on once again, and go back to
the overview I gave you, there's a there's a beginning, there's an end, I didn't talk about the
middle on purpose. And I kind of gave you the one group on the left side and the other group on the
right side, right, I just want to highlight for a second, the two middles in the next slide, there's
two middles just those two boxes, what were they, the rocks fall from the fear of a lot that was on
the one side, and then people submit their face, which means they fall into such that for the fear
of Allah. So what seems to be the heart of the matter in both cases, such that is directly related
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:01
			to the call of Islam? Such that is, one of the primary invitations to the hood, is one of the
fundamental to the hood is such that why is that important? You know, because they stopped doing
such that.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:40
			If you ever see them pray, they go like half Roku. It's not even Roku. That's why Allah says workato
arakelyan because they don't even go into Roku all the way, right size that is out of the question.
But so is that is also really important for another reason, this entire discussion about the
Israelites is the second historical discussion in sort of Bukhara. The first one was Adam alayhis
salam, and he believes that was that that was first and then this passage came. And in that passage,
what is the police's biggest problem, refusal to do such that and our lives saying to Israelites,
you have exactly the same problem. You're not falling into such that which means you are following
		
00:18:40 --> 00:19:24
			the way of it at least it's so incredible that along with this argument together, in such in such a
divine architecture, and then I want to share with you the middle of everything, the thing I
skipped, Allah says women cannot do well jabril in nahoon Allahu Allah kobika Milla tell them
whoever wants to be an enemy to gibreel and then later on in that same passage, when can I do well
Allah He Ramallah ekati Hebrew surely he was real because Allah azza wa jal, Catherine, whoever
wants to be an enemy to Allah and His angels and to gibreel and to me God, then Allah is an enemy to
those who disbelieve in other words, alive saying this behavior you have become an enemy to who you
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:52
			are standing against who, the angels, you stand against the angels and in that same passage, Allah
says, What about robotiq Lucia Tito Anna wilkey Suleiman maka, Farah Suleiman Willa kidney shell
Tina cafaro. They followed what the shadow team were teaching them. They become enemies to the
angels, and they become friends with who Shelton. They don't follow her and the angels under gibreel
McClaren sama, I mean under jabril gibreel brings revelation
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:59
			and you follow revelation and you are friends and your family are actually melodica also National
oleocanthal Hayato Nia
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:32
			phylloxera. Allah will tell us the angels come and tell us we are your protective friends in this
life and in the next life. When you follow what the angel brought down, you been brought down, then
the angels are your friends. When you reject what the angel brought down, who are you following?
English he thought and they started, you know, learning magic and all this other nonsense. They
started doing gopher open. And by the way, they did it knowingly, knowingly they did it. They knew
that this is not revelation, they knew that it's from shaitaan they still did it anyway. When naka
de la Mola manage Tarahumara who fill out a document, they already knew, the one who consumes this
		
00:20:33 --> 00:21:12
			is not going to have any portion of al Qaeda. They still did it anyway. So what's interesting about
this middle is there's a there's a comment being made about the Israelites that a good number of you
became enemies to the angels and friends with Shelton, what was the first story in the surah or the
malayalam story? The malayalam story is a contrast between who to which two groups, angels and
chanting. And now and we, of course, we side with the angels because they submitted to Allah. And we
stand against Satan because he refused the last command and you refuse to do such that, and now
Ally's telling them in a demo, like a demonstrated case. Now you see where you stand. You see where
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			you aren't.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:29
			I'm just baffled at how large the agenda says. And then in this middle, you know, you learn
something else. It's not just that they're enemies to angels, the enemy to gibreel First, the
enemies of jabril first, why is that important to note? That's important to note because you realize
Salaam is the one who brings
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:10
			the other salon was told by MIT and accompany houden fermenter Bianca De La, La La Salut. Listen,
I'm sending you to the earth who ever follows my guidance, there will be no concern. They'll have no
concern, no fears, and nothing to worry about. Meaning when jabril comes you better take him
seriously. Right? They're actually denying that promise that was made to other malissa not just to
like their own legacy as Israelites, but even the promise made with other money setup. So that's the
beginning, middle and end of this incredible passage of the Israelites and what it does is it ties
the entire discussion to the previous story. The story of other mothers having such a beautiful Halo
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:17
			is just you're just left baffled by the calamity. Welcome, Hakeem when finally we are coming out
with the Kentucky
