			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Quran Weekly. I'd like to welcome y'all to the very first
episode of this exclusive series from Quran Weekly stories of the prophets. And we're going to start
off very appropriately with the story of somebody who Salaam, other money his Salaam, the very first
human being and the first prophet of Allah. And to be very honest and frank with you all the story
about Mr. De Salaam is something that's mentioned multiple times throughout the Quran. And there are
different events from his life that are mentioned in the Quran. So I sat down and gave this a lot of
thought what I wanted to share with y'all in this video. And the conclusion I came to was something
		

			that is very near and dear to me personally, something that has a profound effect on me every time I
read it or to think about it, and that is the Toba the repentance of admati salaam. So let me set
this up for y'all really quickly. Are the Mali Salaam is created by Allah himself. His wife,
however, is created by Allah they live together in Paradise and enjoy an eternity of bliss and
happiness together.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala established the status of other mighty Salaam commands all the creation
including the angels mumbrella. Everyone to bow down, prostrate do sujood in front of other Mali
Salaam out of respect, everyone complies except for one, it bleeds shape on Canada managin he was
one of the jinn. When he does not comply he disobeys defies a law. He is ousted from Paradise, the
graces and the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. And he is cursed, damned and doomed by Allah. He makes
a very interesting request at that time he says oh a lot on didn't eat yummy you buy soon. Let me
live till the Day of Resurrection Day of Judgment. And what does he say I want to do with that time
		

			he makes his intentions very well known public. He says the upper Odin Villa home Sara takelma,
Sakina aqui en la hamaji, Marine, I will obstruct all of them, I will obstruct all of them from the
straight path, I will lead all of them astray. And he has a reason for why he's so confident why he
thinks he can. He can be successful in doing so. He says, Well as you do accept a homeshare killing
because you will not find the majority of them to be grateful people. They won't be grateful to you
or law, and they won't appreciate what you've done for them what you've given to them, they'll
disobey you, they won't turn back to you. And that's why I think I'll succeed. But Allah subhanaw
		

			taala also told him something at that time, he said, Fine, you might be able to lead some of them
astray. But there are some people that you won't be able to get to ilari by the come in hamal
meclizine. You will not be able to get to those. You won't be able to lead those people astray, who
are sincere and McCullough seemed sincere people, you won't be able to mess with them. Now let's go
forward. He basically, Allah subhanaw taala had told that Mr. Li salam, there's one thing you can't
do lattakia Bahati shutaura Don't go near this tree. shaytaan basically comes in lies to them and
you know, tells them all types of nonsense, and gets them to eat from that tree.
		

			Once they've taken from that tree, they've done exactly that, which ally told them not to do.
		

			A few things happen. Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us their private parts are exposed or sent down
to the earth or they're basically ousted. They're removed from Paradise. But now what do you do now?
What do you do in this situation? Something very interesting again, a las panatela tells us for
tilaka demo mirabai Kelly, Martin O'Malley Hassan received certain words directly from Allah, Allah
gave certain words directly to Adam alayhis salam, he received them from a law What are those words?
Allah tells us in another place in the Quran. robina our Lord, our master who has given us
everything that we have showing appreciation of the alumna and fusina we have wronged ourselves. We
		

			messed up sincerity. We messed up. Why elemental Finland our handle an akuna Minal ha serene and our
law if you do not forgive us, you do not shower us with Your mercy. We will lose we will fail we
will be doomed.
		

			And so now what happens? Allah subhanaw taala tells us fatale Allah subhanho wa Taala accepted their
repentance. You know, I'd like to interject right here real quick for 30 seconds and explain to
y'all the meaning of repentance. You know, this is something I I talked to my
		

			Students about a lot. A lot of times in, in the Muslim community Muslims, we have certain concepts,
and we translate them into English but the problem is when we don't even understand what the English
means. So what's what what do you call to obey an English repentance? But what does repentance mean?
		

			Toba? We don't really know what repentance means. In the Arabic language Toba is a Roger electric,
Roger Illa set up. It is that when you were supposed to be going north and you took a wrong turn in
you're going south you're going in the wrong direction. What do you do? instinctively? You know, you
make a U turn to turn around and get back on track. That's what obeys doba is a U turn Toba is to
turn things around Toby's to get back on track. And so Adam alayhis salaam turned back to a light
said oh ally shouldn't have eaten from that tree. But I did. Please forgive me and have mercy on me.
Oh Allah, Allah accepted his repentance to come back and put them back on track.
		

			When we see, we all have to reflect our own humaneness. We are all the children of our family salon.
We're all human beings, we're all gonna mess up from time to time. We're all gonna do something a
lot told us not to do. What do we do in those instances? What do we do it? What do we do in that
situation? We get a turn back and head back to Allah. Because you see, perfection is not the goal.
For us. Perfection is not even possible. We're human to areas human. The goal for us is to always
find our way back to Allah, like Adam alayhis salam went back to Allah. And what does Allah subhanaw
taala tell us when somebody turns back to Allah tries to fix things with Allah through magista hora
		

			boo, Allah selected him Allah chose him. What's about Allah He and Allah subhanaw taala accepted his
repentance.
		

			Some mahad was some metabo alayhi wa de su mucha hora boo Fatah alayhi wa Harada. Allah selected him
Allah chose him. Allah accepted his repentance. And Allah blessed him with guidance. Allah taught
him how to live his life on that straight path.
		

			This is a profound lesson for all of us. From the story of Adam Ali Salaam, Allah is reminding us a
less teaching us how to repair things with him, how to make things better with him. So why don't we
seize that opportunity or lie messed up? Please forgive me Have mercy on me. Get back on track, find
our way back to Allah. And when you are repenting to a law No, that shows gratitude that shows
sincerity that shows were chosen and selected by Allah. And Allah will teach us Allah will show us
how to live our life properly. So that's a quick little story and a lesson from the life of other
Mali Salaam. May Allah give us all the ability to constantly keep repairing and fixing things with
		

			Allah. Keep turning back to Allah. Until next time, Quran Weekly does akmola hate on but Salaam
Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
		

			like when you're driving, and you were supposed to go north and you started going south? you
supposed to take a right you took a left. And when you realize in a little while that you're going
the wrong direction. That's a helicopter by the way. It's okay, we're gonna wait it out.
		

			Saying See, we were talking about tober right. I'll make some Toba stuff from the law. I'm sorry
about the helicopter. all right now let's continue. This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central.
