Taraweeh Reflections – Israel In The Quran

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was early he was like We will send them to see him and cathedra how do we feel about Islam in

the Pin drop silence I was expecting like a protest chant or something like that.

You guys get where I'm going with this we are about to go into Surah Yusuf. And in sha Allah to Allah as we get into Surah Yusuf will be studying the story of use of it his Salaam and his father Jacoba Alayhis Salam whose name is also a straw in it his Salam, but not let's just put it to the site so that the Zinus can have their fun in the comment section of this video, wherever they find it. We are not talking about the settler colonial project, the illegal genocidal maniac Cal State of Israel, which is a complete abomination of the name Israel, that we attribute to our core values, nor the people that claim lineage, because neither of those things are true. Jacobi is Salam lived

in a place it was not called, is to heal, nor is it called this not yet after he passed away, nor are the people who claim a connection through covenant or through lineage, to be referred to in a noble way, when they carry out these acts, these maniac will acts against our people may last kind of give victory to our brothers and sisters and Philistine, Allah whom I mean. So now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's talk about Islam eel, the prophet, and why he's named that and who he is, and what's the story behind his name and what it means for us today. Because we're talking about claiming the purity of these things, the purity of the symbols, he has two names, one of them

is Yaqoob. And the name Yaqoob, comes from the word active, which means successor Subhanallah, there's something so deeply profound about his name, there are multiple implications of his name, one of them octave, is because he was born as a twin to his brother and Aries. And he was the second twin. And so when he comes out of the womb, and you can imagine Subhanallah, a family that struggled with the idea of lineage, the idea of children coming, right, not only is the wife of his Hawk blessed with Yaqoob, but there is another child as well. And Yaqoob comes out right after his brother. And so that's one of the implications of his name, to follow along his brother, there is an

interpretation of his name that we would not accept from an Islamic perspective, which is to supplant and that is the suggestion that he used to trickery, which is not found in the Quran, obviously, at all that Yaqoob use trickery to take away prophethood from his brother, and or use Esau and replaced him. And obviously to us, a prophet would not employ trickery to become a prophet of Allah subhanaw taala right. So we would reject that interpretation, but this is one thing he is an active, he followed his brother immediately in coming out of the womb. The other one Subhanallah is the Bushrod the glad tidings think about Ibrahim alayhis salam and Sarra when they receive the

glad tidings of a child. They have not been able to have a child for all of these years. Allah subhanaw taala blessed him with this man at his salaam through Hotjar alayhis. Salam 13 years prior. And then suddenly, the angel comes to these older two people to this old couple. And what is the angel tell Ibrahim? It is Salaam and Sabah. Not only did they get the bush that I have is half the Bush era of a child is hack woman what is hack Jaco like Subhanallah look how Allah answers the prayers and look how Allah subhanaw taala fulfills the covenant towards his people, that you have a child that is coming and we have gifted you from that child, a child from that child, and there will

be many, many children from that child, and you will live to enjoy both of them. And that is actually part of the bush law. Subhanallah part of the glide times is that Ibrahim Arnica Salam got to see with the coolness of his eyes, his son is happy, and his grandson Yaqoob, as well. And Yaqoob is a beautiful child and noble prophet of Allah Subhan Allah, someone who embodies so many of the traits and qualities that we wish we could have. And we learn about his patience and the story of use of ITSM. And that's just one dimension, one dimension of his life it his setup, right. And so that's one interpretation as well as the succession, the story of succession, a family that gave up

hope on children, and Allah subhanaw taala blessed them with nations. Right? And here's Subhan Allah, in that is what the prophets like some said about use of it his setup, the most noble lineage, think about his lineage, a prophet, the son of a prophet, the son of a prophet, the son of a prophet, there is no person who ever had a lineage more noble than use of ideas salaam, Yusuf the son of Yaqoob, the son of his hack, the son of Ibrahim, what a noble lineage that he had Prophet probably

Prophet prophet. So there's the story of succession. Now the name is Surah eel, when does it come to Jacoba? Salaam and what's the implication of the name is thrown at you. Now a rule of thumb when you are reading the name, eel eel refers to what?

Illa God Allah. So for example, those you might remember when I taught to breed it has set up Gibran Gibreel. Gibran is Abdullah, the slave of Allah. Right. So Jable, you will extract the meaning of the first part, and then you will take the second part of it eel refers to God himself, is thought you'll what does it refer to? And what is his name? And why is this the name that's given to him? Again, an interpretation that's not found in the Quran is that at some point, he wrestles with God or wrestles with an angel and his name changes from Iacob to Islam, right? Like an upgrade is slot eel means the one who is bound to Allah by covenant is refers to a binding, like when you have a

prisoner and you tie up a prisoner, the way shift he asked if he tied me up, what would he call me his a CH, right? So he is bound to his Lord, not by compulsion or hatred, he is bound by covenant. Right? He's bound by his covenant it his Salam with Allah subhanaw taala. And this is something extremely profound and extremely beautiful in the story of Jacobi has Salam, a man who honors His covenant with Allah subhanho wa taala. And the call to Bani Israel eel the children of Yaqoob is honor the covenant honor that honor them without the covenant that you took with your Lord, the covenant that Allah gave you, and directly tying the favor of God to the covenant that you honor

with God. And yeah, Kobani has Salam is a man who is devout in honoring his covenant with Allah subhanaw taala and here you see Subhanallah the beauty and I don't have too much time to go into this so I'll make it very quick. The beauty in the Quran in when Allah uses the name Iacob and when Allah uses the name Israel, when they're both interchangeable. Yaqoob refers to the story of succession. Bunny is thrown eel Israa eel is whenever his name is brought up, in invoking the covenants, invoking following the prophets, keeping to what was given to you, you're not just chosen and then the covenant has nothing. No, you are given victory. When you abide by the revelation.

You're given God's favor. When you respond to God's revelation, those two things are interchangeable. And we find with him it his Salam is Surah Al Ali has Salam Jacoba has Salam.

This beautiful honoring of the covenant. I'll just give you two things very quickly. Subhanallah, the only prophet of Allah, whose death conversation with his children is recorded as the arco varicella and quantum shahada is halala Jacoba. Note if Karla Lee bunny not abdomen body were you present when yaku was with his children, right the succession Ma sha Allah Allah blessed him with 12 children and as you can see, that came with its tests as well. But nations were born out of them Bani Israel has prophets has beautiful worshippers as well right the prophets of Bani Israel and rabada Bani Israel and and things of that sort right there are worshipers that are there as well.

And yeah, cool the speaking to his children says What will you worship after me renew your covenants called Do Not but do ina Huck wa ILAHA Ibrahima was marido is how we worship your Lord, we worship the Lord have your father we worship the Lord of Ibrahim the lord of Israel, the Lord of is hack the One Lord and we are to him mostly moon we submit ourselves to Him so Subhan Allah, the story of succession is deeply tied to the story of covenant. What will you hold on to and here's where it becomes so beautiful. When Zachary Yanni has Salam made you're at the end of Bani Israel right when prophet hood is about to leave Bani Israel at you. He said URI Sunni wajarri. Filming earlier coop,

grant me a son, because the Korea sees the end of Prophethood amongst Bani Israel, you grant me a son who will inherit from me not money knowledge, and prophethood and early Yaqoob. All of the goodness from the first to the last of the story of Bani Israel. Let my son embody that and indeed Yeah, it has Salam embodied the best of Bani Israel at tamasic the Torah. He was someone that held on to the Torah and authority he had the best qualities that you could possibly have a beautiful Prophet of Allah subhanaw taala. And finally, dear brothers and sisters, when Allah then talks to the children

of Israelite you, Benny is slightly

what's the first month

of Bani Israel in the Quran

Surah Al Baqarah Yeah, Bani Israel in kurunegala to Latina M to aleikum wa Oh, full Brd Ophelia decom. The first time they come up in the story in the Quran, remember my favorite upon you hold on to my covenant and I will fulfill My covenant to you.

It's the story of grabbing on to the Covenant, the favor of Allah subhanaw taala is indeed through the covenant. And the prophets like Selim said, that we the prophets, we do not leave behind inheritance we leave behind knowledge, whoever takes their share of it has taken a noble share. We become the extension of those prophets not through blood, but through covenants, through abiding by the revelation, and by following the revelation of Muhammad Sallallahu when he was some of the last of the prophets, we pray that Allah azza wa jal will make a shahada with all of the prophets on the day of judgment as the owner of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as honoring the revelation from

Allah Subhana Allah Allah humma Amin does that Camilla Hokkaido was Santa Monica Monica until every cattle
