Orleans at the time that I was there. But you were kind of raised in Atlanta for the most part. So
you have more of an affinity towards Atlanta, which is forgiven in Charlottetown. And just because
of the amount of years that you spent there, but what can you have you ever been back to New
Orleans? No, I have to confess I have not Chef harmar however, I was introduced to the cuisine

			through my dad he made sure to take us to this restaurant in Atlanta that had shrimp poboys so

knows it and balancing multiple responsibilities. Most plants I bless you and reward you and give me
on demand. on my back, we can pray Bismillah inshallah, we're going to start with just 27 in sha
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:34
			Allah Tada. And we will be starting with, you know, truly something I think that fits the theme of
angels and the themes of the melodica certain Najam and there, of course, multiple sources in this
book, and that speak to the idea of the response and, you know, testifying to the truthfulness of
the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, but also the idea of the baboon, the the response of the prophets
lie some in the heavens and then the earth and this is really a powerful notion that the prophets
lie some of them is being embraced as the Messenger of Allah in the heavens and the earth by the
angels, by the jinn and by some of those who are human beings and you see that throughout this
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:20
			particular journey and so for example, shows that a man is in this juice and sorta rock man when it
is revealed febby a lot Jambi Kumar to help me back Then which of the favors of your Lord Oh, gin
and man Okay, Robbie Kumar to cap the band will you deny and the gin were responding to the profit
slice on the believing Gen as the profit slice I was reciting that and saying are better than OCAD
that our Lord we do not deny or Lord we do not deny. So, the response of the gym the response of the
angels the response of the early believers to the Prophet slice Allah, but certainly najem has a
rich CSR background to it, this surah as it was revealed, it speaks to the the proof of the prophets
		
00:04:20 --> 00:05:00
			of Allah Harney, most of them and it speaks to particularly the integrity of the message. And so it
starts off when najmi either hola las pantai swears by the najem the star when it sets. Now one last
law he will call one hour your companion has neither gone astray, nor is your companion delusional
meaning the Prophet salallahu it was to them when a young declining power he never speaks out of his
own desire in her Illa when you have everything he says, His revelation that is conveyed to him in
one form or the other. And then Alas, pantai says I lemma OSHA diesel Cola, that the the strong The
one who is severe in his power in
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:36
			Part of it to him taught him who is the speaking to or who is the speaking about this is Djibouti.
Islam should you do Oh, and sometimes the prophet SAW someone referred to him as such, by the way,
Shadi, the who and why was debate I'm so strong, because you bleed it his Salaam would guard the
revelation he would receive it from the highest heaven and bring it down to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and the angels would surround you believe it his Salaam, as he's coming down, the
other beings would try to steal of the revelation or catch of the revelation what they could but God
is not in his strength, carrying this powerful word comes down to the Prophet sallallahu some of the
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:24
			angels eagerly following to hear the revelation as it comes on the heart and the tongue of the
Prophet slice alum. After Judea, Isla imparts it to him. Now most practices do middle attend for
stellar, that he is free from all flaws that read it Islam is beautiful, and free from flaw, because
stoah and so he came forth, and he stood in full view of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam were
horrible, awful collana and he was in the highest horizon. The Prophet slicin them describes the
time he saw to beat it his salon the first time and he said to be in it his Salaam was sitting on a
throne between the heavens and the earth. And he took up the entirety of the horizon. And he had 600
		
00:06:24 --> 00:07:05
			wings he has 600 wings on his set up. And out of those 600 wings, the prophets lie some saw the gems
and the pearls and the jewels falling from each of the wings of wi snob. So this was a mighty site.
This is the first of two times that the prophets lie some saw wi some in his pure form eating in his
full angelic form. And this is not head off. But this is in fact after the Prophet slicin was
looking for an answer a follow up to Hilah and Djibouti Raisa appear to the profit slice on in the
sky as he was in the mountain and the profit slice and looked up and saw him covering the entire
horizon. And Allah subhana wa tada describes sort of a you know, a point by point stage by stage
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:46
			what happened next from Madonna fetida Allah that He draw near but he remained suspended in the air
for can acaba ko sany. Oh, weather No, this is so powerful. He came from the uppermost horizon and
he came so close to the Prophet slice on him that he was only about to bow length away from the
prophets of Allah. He was someone we know in our body, that GBI Sam started to come so close to the
prophets lie some that the prophets lie some he fell to the ground and then the next revelation came
to the Prophet slice of them as he ran to the arms of Khadija, the Allahu tada and her once again
and that was Yeah, are you helping with that the comfort under certain madatha was revealed to the
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:26
			Prophet slice at that point, that Oh, how you know I'm the Hema Oh Ha. And he revealed to his
servants that which he had to reveal. Now then Allah subhana wa says Maracaibo for Adam Allah, that
the heart of the Prophet slice on them did not betrayed him like and he was not just seeing things,
nor did it add any untruth to it. So there is no exaggeration embellished or added from the vision
of the profit slice on them. But instead, he saw very clearly what he saw and received very clearly
what he received. And the lines are just as efa tomorrow una hora Allah May Allah Are you then going
to argue with him regarding that which he saw, and then Allah says one other Ah, who knows Latin
		
00:08:26 --> 00:09:09
			okra and the similar to the one to her, and the agenda to Allah says and then he saw him a second
time. And this is of course on the night of it is thought when Raj by the low tree similar to the
one to her at the farthest at the farthest boundary of the heavens and then Allah subhanaw taala
mentions that the prophets lie some of them saw the low tree and all of its grand and glory that the
boundary to the highest point, Masako, Bizarro one and I love this inshallah tada and I'll end with
with these two out here, Nakamura Minaya t Robbie L. Cobra, and he certainly saw IoT Robbie, he'll
cook some of the greatest signs of his Lord Japan on what to add. And that could be a
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:49
			mistranslation, but he saw some of the best the grandest of Allah subhanaw taala signs. So the point
here is that the prophets lie someone he got their Mazda herbicidal Well, not all the prophets lie,
some kept his eyes focused. To read it, some was in full view, this time as he was getting to Allah
subhanaw taala at the top of the heavens, so you seem to beat Einstein from top down. Whereas here
he was seemed to be is not from the from the vantage point of the earth. And the prophets I'm remain
focused. He was not driven away. He was not distracted by anything that he was seeing. But instead,
the prophet sly son was focused on what was ahead of him what was ahead of him what stage was ahead
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:59
			of him, what was next what was next and so the focus that Allah gave the Prophet slice I'm on what
was before him. So this is certain najem describing the first revelation and then of course, the
revelation or the site.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			of the profit slice a lump in a strap with mirage. Now what makes this the surah is just so powerful
at the end of the surah there is the is such that okay first you do Lila what I will do that you
prostrate yourselves before Allah and you serve him fully when the prophets lie some recite is
swithun najem even imbecile the Allahu taala, on whom I relates that everyone made sujood, the
Muslims, the mushrikeen, the jinn, the human beings, everything around fell into sajida. Okay,
except for well may have no Hello out of his arrogance, who even he he took some of the dirt from
the ground and he rubbed it on his forehead, because he didn't want to make everybody else don't so
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:20
			do it. And that was how the news spreads to the Muslims and Abyssinia that the the emotion of Cain
had become Muslim that they had repented and become Muslim. That's how a lot this verse is so
powerful, that you know even more honey for rahimullah tiny Mama shafr, you know, hemella some of
the scholars actually say it's obligatory, it's mandatory to do such that in this verse, whereas
with other verses, it is not mandatory to do this such that it is voluntary, it's recommended but
with this verse because of the power of this verse, and what it drove the people to as as they heard
it being recited, somehow they just they were just overtaken by the moment of the prophets, I seldom
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:58
			reciting that and of course, we know that they returned back to their arrogant ways, and they're
ignorant ways. And they're, they're disputing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam so I'll end
with this upon a lie that you find that this sorta was so powerful it caused the revelation was so
powerful, that it caused everyone to fall into such that that which was seen and that which was not
seen sort of like man, you have the the gender responding to the revelation and sort of pull it of
course, is Allah subhanaw taala speaking directly to more sighs them so just as a last spoke
directly to most is now Allah spoke directly to the Prophet slice on them. And just as the response
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:16
			was not grasped by everyone, in this situation, the response also was powerful. And there were
others that responded even when the mushrikeen rejected Milan make as much of that always responds
favorably to the revelation Allah I mean stothers Aina if you have anything to share, inshallah Tata
please do
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			Bismillah
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			Bismillah
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah that often,
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:53
			Mohammed bye by the ABA, you will succeed with a sudden them, such as that from authorship or more
for your reflections on Hamlet, this beautiful shows that just 27 of the put on, you know, I was
going through the shows and just kind of thinking about how the students can connect to each other,
it's so interesting, because you've got suitors that are named for a najem and then you have an
Ahmad and then you have a door. So you have suitors that are kind of named for these different sort
of aspects of creation,
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:06
			that convey a just a sense of sort of, inspires, you know, all and rightly so, in the human
observer. And, you know, and kind of looking at the the the shows as a whole, it just really struck
me
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:45
			that in the time of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam, that the people at that time did not have all
the distractions that we have, you know, they obviously were not encumbered by the things that with
which were encumbered. They lived in a in an environment that, of course, despite the fact that of
course, it's it's permitted by by idolatry, that I think that they were closer to being able to
really appreciate the the natural signs of Allah Subhana Allah, what with, you know, being able to
perceive the skies and the, you know, sort of the the patterns of the celestial bodies and the
mountains. I mean, it's just a really interesting environment in which Islam is revealed to the
		
00:13:45 --> 00:14:22
			Prophet alayhi salatu salam, however, you know, despite that, as you mentioned, Chef Omar, there's
this arrogance, there's this intransigence that you see on the part of the fish, you know, and one
of the things that I that I've often reflected upon is, you know, when the Prophet peace upon him
comes to them with this message. I mean, it's, it's it's interesting in the sense that for all this
time, they've been really sort of there's a consensus that he is a saw that he's I mean, he is
someone that they employ implicitly trust. But then when he comes to warn them, then all of a
sudden, there's all this hostility. Now, they can't believe him. They're skeptical. They're going to
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:59
			organize these campaigns of, you know, a ridicule of mockery. And as you mentioned, in OSHA, are you
have this incident where the mushrikeen actually do fall down in frustration, they try to cover it
up, they resort to all these different kind of machinations so that they don't listen to the poor,
and they will prevent others from listening to it. And you really kind of have to wonder, like, what
is going on with them? Is it the Is it a combination of sort of arrogance and intransigence? And
sort of just Well, this is the the team of bento Hashim, the orphan upendo hash and we can't listen
to him. Why does he have the status? You know, is it Are they
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			Are they really truly that myopic? Are they just so attached to the status quo? What's really going
on with them? You know, I don't you know, because Pamela, when you kind of
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:48
			learn more about them, you don't get the sense that I mean, you, you, you, you don't get the sense
that they are all kind of uniformly people that are just completely ignorant, that maybe there is
some, some intelligence there but is it true intelligence because if they had just stopped for a
moment to say, Subhana, Allah, that Allah to Allah has given after millennia of conferring Nobu upon
Benny Israel, now that has come to the Arabs, that this could change the world, if we embrace this,
they're not able to see with that clear sight, that clear vision, right, that vision, as you
mentioned, Chef Omar is given to the Prophet little longer they decide to be with them during the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:16:23
			beautiful experience of Islam and Mirage one by the way, which the padishah courses are going to
attempt to turn that against him on a slot wassalam until he actually recounted to them things that
that he witnesses on the assault that and there are others that only somebody could have known that
was experiencing that kind of miracle. So it's just really fascinating because you when you read
this to what I want you to look at the sodas and she was at 27 which are combination of Mecca and
Madani but mostly mechi you know again you're just struck by the just the psychology of
accommodation terms of what's wrong with them, like all the signs are in front of them the
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:30
			environment itself supports belief, but time and time again, they're going to reject the Prophet on
a skepticism to their detriment
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:51
			because our coworkers are very powerful reflections and even have a comment right the moon being
split like that. And that's just a sign the hearts are sealed from what the eyes can see and what
the heart can hear. It's just it's not working some handle on and that's the ceiling of the heart
man lock protect us she's not gonna walk out for the profit reflections published
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:36
			bisola salatu salam ala rasulillah. While early he was talking to he woman when I'm about I like how
you ended with reflections because it's very important that we reflect to connect that we reflect
with a loss of kinda with data about a loss of kind of without his beautiful names and attributes
and what emanates from that and, you know, understanding as a scholar is mentioned in regards to the
names and attributes of Allah. And in that time, the Noxon they don't have any form of deficiency in
any shape, form or fashion bewitching middle module we should know and have full conviction your
theme that there will be things the intricacies we may not know the minute Shea have a last names
		
00:17:36 --> 00:18:16
			and attributes, but what's most important is that we believe in them so for instance, we now are in
the month of Ramadan, and in the last 10 days, searching searching for related to other and how you
shift from our doctor Omer you mentioned the mana Chica, the manor Chica has a has an appearance
Mashallah in regards to later though Qatar as we know in the chapter with other well last month,
Allah says tener celluma eager to water rofi heavy in the raw beginning cooling armor that the
angels will descend down along with the work since Gaussian gibreel in every situation, so the
angels will come down in this beautiful night. Allah subhanho wa Taala talks about later to cover as
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:55
			well in the chapter of the fun when he says we hire you for a cuckoo and brain hacking, that this
night everything will be established or mentioned. And the scholars mentioned that the McCarthy era
Assia the Sunnah, that the predestination was predestined for that year will be on this beautiful
night. So there are a lot of things that take place on this beautiful night to the degree that it is
played on every shot that it is greater than 1000 months or equivalent to 1000 months. But what's so
beautiful about this is how when you share Homer, we're mentioning the angels, we will not see them.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has talked about them and seeing them but we as human
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:38
			beings, don't see them, but we believe in them. And that is a pillar of our Amen. And when we talk
about Amen, amen. Generic meaning means faith, but it is such a comprehensive meaning coming from
the morphologic form of I mean, which means to have a sense of security or to believe in something.
So there's a connection with security with belief with being Sadiq Khan, me with being trustworthy
when saying, I mean after when we you know we after we recite Fatiha, it all has that realm of
security with believing in something. So when we believe in Allah Subhana, WA Dianna, we are secure
and feel safe with those beautiful names and attributes in which we may not know the total
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:48
			manifestation in them. But the initial belief in them and what he says about him and other than Him,
we have full conviction
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			that is very, very important for the Muslim to have within their mind, body and soul within their
mind. They understand that Allah subhanho wa Taala has authority over everything.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:46
			It has control over everything and has the power and the he is the repository and source of all
things. So when looking at this beautiful verse in the chapter of Hadid, verse number 52, at verse
number 22, and 23 chapter 57, a lawsuit kinda without establishes another pillar of our men. When we
talk about the pillars of humanity skaza mentioned six. One of them is the belief in predestination.
Now predestination may be something that is maybe hard to understand or to grasp, but that is where
Subhanallah we as Muslims, we understand that there is a level that we cannot pass. And, you know,
transgressing that level goes into the realm of lordship of Allah subhanho wa Taala why he would
		
00:20:46 --> 00:21:28
			held certain knowledge and realities from us, him being an alien, he discloses some of those
realities to us and he does not to he does not in the same time, so last month, Allah mentions the
reason for kodra one of the beautiful wisdom, the wisdom behind predestination, as he says, After
all, the name Chicago Jean masaba name we'll see but it will it will Effie unfussy come in Laffy
keytab him in probably a nebula, in America and Allah He ESU Allah subhanaw taala says, No
misfortune can happen either on the earth or within yourselves. Except that it was set down in a
writing in a book before we came into being Verily, that is easy for Allah subhana wa Tada. So
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:50
			firstly, he says men are sovereign, and we'll see but then there is not any, any affliction. And the
word he uses in Arabic will see by 10 neck, you know, he uses the infinite form to show that the
generic will see But anyway, we'll see. But even if it is a thorn that pricks the believer that
pricks a person, you're walking in, you're hit by a thorn, you're stuck by a thorn that was written.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:22:26
			So lots of kind of data is showing you that he is more hate to be cliche that he encompasses
everything, and his knowledge encompasses everything, because he knows what was what isn't what will
be so alive, just establishing him reminding you that his knowledge is endless, and that his
knowledge is complete from that a prick that don't go into, you know, affects a believer, if their
attitude is correct and shallow their perception is right when the last part that I can serve as an
explanation. But in any case, Allah subhanaw taala shows here, that a thing that happens on the
earth, and within themselves, as we talked about in another verse, that Allah will show his science
		
00:22:26 --> 00:23:07
			field FFT with he unphysical any horizons in in yourself external and internal. So now, any
affliction that happens externally, or internally, it has been written in the in the key tab, and
the key tab is the preserved tablet, which is known as the low moku. There are lots of kind of
analysis in the valley callala you see the fact of having knowledge of all of these things, and it
being written, and allows you to without disclosing to the Prophet sallallahu it was something that
there will be one night, on an odd night in the last 10 nights of the best month of the year. All of
this was written, what will take place with you with the congregation, internally and externally was
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:15
			written, there's a small window of choice that we have and that leads to the next verse, The Kaila
attack so I left my fat circle.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:58
			So when Allah subhanaw taala says that all of this being written it was easy. And then he says
Nikkei Yanni lamb Italia so when Allah mentioned some verbs in the Quran, he will mention the reason
why are one of the reasons why. And that is a father and a benefit for you to take heat. He's
disclosing some classified knowledge, right? That is only with him, and he's letting you know. So
he's saying the reason that this is done, meaning that everything being written which may be
perplexing to you, and may be amazing and it should be a loss is why he came that's so I emphatic
consult that you do not agree to so Danny told them that you do not grieve and have full regret.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			Well that's for habima attacking, and you are not
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:41
			gloating over what you gain from attacking. So you're happy to the degree to where it brings
arrogance. What Allah has given that attack always come to you come to you from Allah subhana wa
Tada. And then last word Allah says Allah Julio boo Kula, Matalan fairhall Allah Allah does not love
the conceited nor boastful person. So here, Allah is disclosing to you that whatever he gives for
you, or takes away or whatever has been inflicted upon you remember that job you that job you
received the job you didn't receive, the make the system that you wanted to marry the brother you
wanted to marry, you know, that do I that you made and it wasn't answered, a loss it kind of without
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:56
			a predestined for that to be taken away, or to be given to you. The main purpose or one of the
purposes is so that you do not have full grief to where the big grief can lead to despair and giving
up. We could say on a lot but ultimately on yourself
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			and anything that you have been given
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:28
			It is not get to the degree to where you look down upon people, that you'll be little people that
you think they are lesser than you rather everything that you have been given, and everything that
has been taken away. The middle response, there's lots of the oma once or the or the person that
does not go too far to the left or to the right is to be is a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was, as Aisha, his wife, mentioned that whenever the prophet SAW Selim, in every situation,
		
00:25:30 --> 00:26:13
			he would say, Alhamdulillah, Allah kuliah, that Praise to Allah to Allah subhanaw taala upon
everything that has happened to me, because when you realize that it's all taken care of that it's
all within the predestination of Allah, this Ultimately, the goal of that knowledge that you have,
is to bring a form of serenity, security, amen, to strengthen that amen with the loss of kind of
with data, and not to go too far off to the left or to the right, by totally being angry with what
has happened to you, or boastful of what you have been given not thinking a lot, or to be saddened
to the level to where it brings grief, despair, depression, in totally giving up on a lawsuit kind
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:27
			of went down. So my last point, I thought I'd make this of those, that search for this beautiful
night of laser cutter, the last one. So those that believe in the beautiful predestination that he
has furnished for us in this life, to really be pleased with this. And then next is Kamala Hall,
Kayla,
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:56
			how long we're celebrating, obviously looking for labor to other and the just contains Wi Fi, I'm
coming to the profit slice of them and giving him that revelation. So we're searching for Allah
using that revelation, but also, sometimes we forget the obvious the degree itself that this is the
night in which the decree of the next year is to come we asked the last panel to honor for it for
the best of it and to enable us with the best of this life and the next dilemma I mean, the familia

00:26:58 --> 00:27:37
			Mashallah, there's just so much to to reflect upon, but a couple things, you know, that it's so
interesting, you know, the idea of cobalt and other and if you kind of ask people today, what is the
main obstacle in terms of their faith journey? What do they really struggle with the most? It is
that kind of perennial question of why bad things happen, you know, to good people. And, you know,
some humble The answer is, it's, it's in the put on time and time again, you know, that Allah
Subhana Allah is telling us in these revelations and and, of course, Heidi does a later revelation
of Medina and Sula. But there are themes that are certainly and earlier revelations. But this you
		
00:27:37 --> 00:28:05
			know, but but almost kind of Tom is telling us this world was never intended to be an abode of ease,
that this dunya was never intended to be a place where we were where we would not have to struggle.
And, you know, I'm reminded of a couple things. One is that when we look at the example, the prophet
Alayhi, salaatu, wa, salaam, you know, I think that sometimes given our distance of 1400, some
years,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:47
			you know, we don't really, it's hard for us to kind of really picture and understand kind of
visualize just the, the, the the sort of intransigence, the animosity, just the the rebellious ness
of the palatial kind of environment that must that must have been for the profit. So the love on the
other side, it was so loving the operation really kind of wanted things very easy. And one of the
things that the Quranic revelation is going to do is going to tell them that, in order for them to
embrace this message wholeheartedly, they're going to have to put aside certain assumptions,
assumptions they make about Allah Subhana Allah assumptions they make about the angels, assumptions
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:32
			that they really kind of make about the very nature of existence. So they'll hold on really kind of
depicts this, this balance of that there is going to be trial and hardship. However, it's also going
to be sort of inter intermixed with ease, because almost kind of to how the tells us in sort of an
armor and this is verse 32, for example, well upon your sermon or analytically Feldman would duck
here. So again, this idea of things being easy on a certain level that is, it is easy for a lot to
how to write these different decrees. It is it Allah Allah has has facilitated the Quran in terms of
the ease of learning and memorization however, the key the key to all of this is that the mindset
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:55
			has to be receptive and of course the poor are not able to successfully change the their mindset IE
when there's a when there is some kind of misfortune or whatever they want to kind of put that on
the doorstep of everybody else. And you also kind of see this trait echoed also with the one after
lien in Medina to be honest there's an area
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			and one of the the other suitors and there's just it's escaping me at this moment which which
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:36
			I think it might be headed. But you know this, where there's this juxtaposition that set up between
the believers and the one I feel clean and how that light, you know that vision is going to really
kind of elude the homeowner if you're clean because again, they've making the mistake of throwing in
their lot with the disbelievers, and wanting the things that come very easily to them. They don't
want to sacrifice they don't want to struggle, they don't want to be challenged. They don't want to
rise to the occasion. So I think, you know, these I have to look around are very reassuring in the
sense that Allah subhanaw taala is telling us that again, there is a variety in this dunya there's
		
00:30:36 --> 00:31:18
			hardship, there's ease, there is happiness, and there's sadness, that these things are all written
by Allah Subhana to Allah, and the time that was pre ordained. And I think it gives us a lot of
comfort to understand that the best way really that we can answer this question of why do bad things
happen to good people, that Allah Allah never promised us that this dunya would be an abode of
constant ease. I mean, if the most beloved of creation to Allah Subhana Allah, the prophet alayhi
salatu salam experienced hardship beyond that, which we can imagine against a very tough
environment, right, one of the one of the rest of us so hamdulillah there, there is just so much in
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:57
			this visit that we can reflect upon just one one last thing very quickly that I wanted to share is
this a that I keep coming back to and really kind of echoes what Shahab Allah is saying here, this
idea that, you know, if we become embittered, by our circumstances, we are going to lose that
ultimate refuge. And that refuge is to Allah Subhana Allah and we have a very beautiful area for
federal ilahi in the law come in the lack of men who love Iran will be in this verse 50, of the
zodiac chapter 51. And it has echoes a sort of Toba where Allah tala describes the people that were
left behind from the Battle of Cyborg. And we have this very beautiful area of
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:05
			analogy, I mean, Allah in that era, that there is no refuge from Allah except in him.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:41
			Medical Office vehicles, that is enough. So when you're talking about these hardships, and you're
talking about this idea of of going towards something, you also were sort of indicating in our
discussion, the idea that there's something on the other side that we're not seeing as well, like
the quarter and sort of addressing the very observable side of this, that, you know, there's East
coming, that there are, the power of Revelation is being seen, if you look around, there's the power
of Allah subhanaw taala, working us through these hardships and bringing us to a place of ease and
refuge. But what about the other part of this, the hereafter part of this and the other side of that
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			working?
		
00:32:43 --> 00:33:18
			Absolutely, that's like, and we can't make the mistake that most of the team that they make during
the time the craft audience helps them where they think like this is the end all be all and they
they cannot see beyond what's immediately in front of them again, they don't have that vision, you
know, so there are beautiful Ayad in chapter 52. So that's sort of the fool that's a name for Mount
Sinai where and I'll just get these these few is here, I was really intrigued by them. So the
scenario is that this is these are the believers in paradise enjoying the the pleasures and the
blessings of paradise. And, you know, because sometimes we when we think about the alcohol we don't
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:50
			make like we feel like this is really disconnected from like, these are two vastly different
universes, there's no connection. It's like memories are wiped clean, and we're and the believers
are in the afterlife. And there's no sense of what the experience in the dunya what's so interesting
is that here you have this area, after I would have been back into shape auto gene will appear on a
ba ba, ba, ba ba notice they are either believers will approach with one another, and they'll
actually initiate conversations asking questions of each other. Although in that corner, others
		
00:33:51 --> 00:34:21
			believe they will say need we were previously amongst our people. And we were much fiddling IE we
were fearful of a lockdown as punishment, we were eager to please Allah to Allah we were you know,
kind of avid for that. For that reward of Allah Subhana Allah and then this beautiful area here the
next one's a 2752 and then the La Nina will walk on either the moon so Allah conferred favor upon us
and protect us from the punishment of the scorching fire. And then in The
		
00:34:22 --> 00:35:00
			Nether Oh, who in level who has ever Rahim? Indeed we used to so they're remembering their existence
in the dunya. But now, Brahma that pain don't remember that. Indeed, we used to call upon him alone.
He is truly the most kind, the Most Merciful. And then I'll add to this, say that it's actually
recording say that you should from this group and say that you shall be lawful. I'm happy that won't
say that I shall read this area. Amanda La Nina Simone, she actually will make your art in her
prayer. And she would say Allahu Allah, bestow upon us and save us from the punishment of the
scorching fire. Literally You are the
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			The most common the Most Merciful and that was for my mother say that insha Allah
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:10
			Subhana Allah so powerful Allah you know the thing is Subhana Allah like that Hadith of the Prophet
slice lm where
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:14
			you have to be a shutdown nasty either been dunya
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:53
			shut the nasty either. I mean a person who had the hardest life, you'll most often 90 lumps has
dipped in paradise one time and is told how to look at some putt. Do you remember any sadness and
says what sadness I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember the grief. So Allah wipes
away the sadness, but not the memory. That's that's so powerful somehow, am I so they still have a
short memory of the moments in the days and sort of the struggle but the pain of the struggle is
gone, as you're saying. And that's, I think sort of like non right it's there's a point in sort of
Oman, where the imagery of Paradise is so strong, but then it comes to when the people of Paradise
		
00:35:53 --> 00:36:26
			gather. What do they do? They remember the old days. And I think that's that's that's a mercy from
last time so I imagine if like we leave this realm and we see our loved ones again and we don't
remember each other it's kind of like let's start this all over again. It doesn't work that way.
It's where we united the believers are united and Alas, Felicity and righteousness and then they
remember their struggles. And they remember how a lot power them through it. So how does that
qualify for that reflection? So it was a very, very very powerful shift from the learning any any
final words or reflection and
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:38
			I could see him moving Yes. Yes, hello. Just any any of the gender monologues or dialogues is enough
for me. It's like Subhanallah you know, millimeters from them, you know?
		
00:36:39 --> 00:37:00
			It's just the power of da Yeah. in condemning public leather. Oh, I they recall just like you
mentioned when they made the shows the importance of do they remember that? You know, that they used
to supplicate Subhanallah and just, you know, just being in general just that I love just reading
what they say in Genesis you know, Allah make us from them inshallah.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:39
			I mean, I was pants I gather so for those that I know when the Prophet sly Salam and the righteous
ones May Allah make us all amongst the righteous left forgive us for our shortcomings and accept our
Laila to other Ramadan our seomra piane las panatela forgive us for any of our shortcomings that
would prohibit us from receiving his vast mercy has unlimited mercy alone I mean, there's our call
no hate on them or someone of you know, Muhammad Ali. He was like the US Marine this was a wonderful
sessions panel last Zaina we hope to have you back then enough and always always always refreshed
and benefit from your lights about to come off he can share from the law as always Exactly. Well no
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:39
			final
		
00:37:40 --> 00:37:43
			Thank you. Let me know that I can make a comment.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:38:08
