Allah He was a Marine, to MANOVA once again everyone salaam aleikum, WA ricotta together, let's try
and get to know salud alenka, Booth surah number 29 of the Quran. Yet again, a late late makansutra.
One of the things that illustrates that it's a very late part of the era of Americans struggle of
the profits item is that this sort of begins with a story of Muslims being tortured, and then being
put to the test. It's narrated about suburban art, who's a famous Companion of the Prophet, that the
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:59
			crush grabbed him because he believed they grabbed him, they took his shirt off, and they dropped
him on top of burning coal. And they stood on top of him until his the back the skin on his back
melted off. And then they left him to rot. And he in that like horrible state bleeding and burnt,
came to the Prophet size alone. And he was completely disheveled. And he said, Why is this happening
to us? Why if we are we are committed to the truth where the true believers, why isn't the help of a
lot coming, that sort of language. And it's understandably, you know, so that a person that goes
through such a horrible traumatic experience would speak like this. And so these I thought were
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:33
			revealed in the beginning of the sort of the first passage of the surah Alif Lam Meem have people
assumed that they're going to be left alone just by saying that they believe and they're not going
to be put to the trial, and literally afternoon was used fraternized Arabic is used for melting
gold, melting gold and his back was melted and afternoon was used. You know, and this is actually
Allah's way of saying your gold to me, it's a lovely way of actually highlighting the value of
people like above and out. And that's how gold is purified. You've been purified by this horrible
experience. And Allah says it goes on the IOD go on talking about how you have to hold on to your
		
00:02:33 --> 00:03:04
			faith and how don't think that the criminals who have committed these crimes against you and yes, be
owner, you know, impassibility namah Luna say yes, and yes, be honest. Am I a common to people think
that the ones that have committed these crimes, and have committed these atrocities have gotten
ahead of us What a horrible decision they've made. You know, you're you think you're the victim,
they're going to be the real victims for what they've done. You know, but you just keep placing your
hopes in Allah. So the Muslims are being told to hold strong. This is the this is the time when the
Muslims aren't just being ridiculed for their faith. They're being tortured now for their faith.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:43
			Things have escalated really badly in America. So now what happens next? It's really cool. As soon
as this passage on the patience of the Muslims is delivered a lot then talks about to two prophets.
He talks about New Orleans Salam Alaikum, Salaam Alaikum III, find a bit of him and fossati
lacantina Allah, we sent new, tense people, he remained among them for 1000 years, say 50. So 950
years, the struggles of new now you're being told look, you have you been going to struggle for a
few years, but there are people came before you who have been struggling for centuries. So learn
from them. And then he switches over and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he switches the subject to
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			Ibrahim alayhis salaam, where Ibrahim is called he called me have Mandala what
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:23
			the other one and also Abraham when he said to his people, be fearful and mindful of Allah and
worship Him that is better for you. If you actually know what's the parallel between New Hanover
Rahim Allah is actually showing us how he rescues people. Ibrahim Ali said oh no Holy Son has been
rescued from water. And Ibrahim Ali Salaam has been rescued from fire from the two extreme opposite
elements. So luck and rescue from anything he can rescue from the most terrible floods, and he can
rescue you if you're drowning in the middle of a gigantic flame. He can do that. And so he's telling
the Muslims, if he can make a way of escape for him, he'll make a way of escape for you.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:05:00
			Interestingly enough, as the story continues, a lot talks about loot, you know, and he says about
loot. Interestingly enough, Mahajan, ihlara, Visa Dean, I'm migrating to my master, He will guide
me, Luke was also in an impossible situation. And he literally uses the words I am migrating to my
master. So now we've got three cases of people who escaped and migrated. Why is this important?
Muslims are being tortured in Mecca. And now through the stories of the Quran. The idea is being
implanted in their minds that it's time for migration. Like instead of spelling it out and saying
migrate, he's telling them to migrate through
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:28
			These stories, it's incredible. And he's then then he starts talking about nations that have just
been destroyed before, but the people who believe are always saved. So don't worry if these people
are on the verge of destruction Declaration on the verge of destruction. That doesn't mean you're
going to be destroyed. You need to find your escape, you need to get away. And so when Allah does
all of this one of my favorite part, this is again, a mucky surah. And in Macau, Muslims were
primarily dealing with idol worshipers, the koresh, the most economical.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:06:06
			But by the end of the surah, he says, well as Alan kitabi lability here said, Don't argue don't
debate with the people of the book The Jews and Jewish and Christian communities don't debate with
them, except with that which is better. That means that which is better in terms of argument give
present better arguments also better ethics, better way of speaking. You know, if they if they
respond to you if they speak to you with harsh language, don't respond with harsh language, if they
speak to you and really don't respond. angrily illegibility he accent lol Athena voila, momento. Why
in American surah? Would Allah tell His Prophet and the Muslim community to deal with the People of
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:39
			the Book kindly and to engage in conversation with them? The reason for that is they're about to
leave bucha and they're about to go to Medina. And when they go to Medina, they're going to be
dealing with the people of the book. So it's so beautifully embedded the instructions to the
prophets, I saw them inside the narrative of the Quran, the people who are living this experience,
could hear the code, they can hear right through it, they can tell what's being told to them, and
they were mentally prepared to now take this step and this is why when Dena Josefina look at the
remarkable conclusion of this message, whether the nyjah has rufina then at the end the home
		
00:06:39 --> 00:07:15
			sabudana. Who those who struggle in our path, with no goal before them except us, we will guide them
to our pathways, we'll figure out a way of guiding them because there wasn't one road to Medina,
there were multiple roads. So it has this general spiritual meaning, but also in the context in
which the pseudo was revealed. It had a very particular meaning, those of you that have been
struggling to hold on to your faith, I will give you one multiple roadways to get away, then as the
unknown sabudana when in Allah Allah Allah Allah Nene and Allah certainly is with those who excel
those who are constantly recognized his presence. And by the way, son, I'll conclude with this now
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:53
			Hassan is to recognize a less presence and Tabitha la Nakata Whoa, that you worship Allah as though
you can see him. If you actually look at the migration story of the prophets of a lot harder to sell
them, and they're in the cave suta Toba will highlight this later on in the Quran, you know much
later that was revealed that he's you know, is your kulula Sahil attacks and in Allah Allah, you
know, he told his companion of a worker, don't worry, yes, the scalpel right above us. If there's so
much is locked down, were dead. Don't worry, Allah is with us. And in this surah Allah says, Those
who struggle in our path, we guide them to our pathways and allies with those who recognize his
		
00:07:53 --> 00:08:12
			presence constantly. And literally, that's what the Prophet did. He was guided to the pathway to
take to Medina and literally he recognized a less presence in the worst of times, and the most the
scariest and the most difficult of times melasma, which will make us recognize his presence in the
most difficult hours of our life. barakallahu li walakum salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
