Shangri La Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala so you didn't mostly know how to mean in the beginning.

Muhammad come about Dr. Allah Ibrahim
Ibrahim in the Garden of Eden Majeed specs and listeners, we gather once again for the continuing the seed commentary of sorghum on AF.
So far we've covered
for verse three verses
of two weeks
and
much of the introduction
and
characteristics and traits and hypocrisy have have been covered in these two previous sessions.
Allow me to just quickly translate the beginning three verses and then I'll vont comments on the fourth verse
where we left off. So are we lurking in the shade long regime? Smilla rahmanir rahim. Allah says, When the hypocrites come to you,
they say, We testify that indeed you are surely the Messenger of Allah.
And Allah knows that indeed you are surely His messenger. And Allah testifies, that indeed the hypocrites are most assuredly lies.
They have taken their oaths as a shield.
This they have prevented
from the way of Allah
evil indeed is what they do. This is because they believed
then they disbelieved.
So it was stamped on their heart, it disbelief was stamped on their hearts. So they don't understand. This is the translation of the first three verses. Moving on.
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says without our aid the home that Rebekah at some
and when you see them,
and the address is singular,
it's not plural. So Allah has addressing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam individually rather than everyone collectively. So he's being addressed in particular with our ADA or gibca at some
that when you see them
their bodies please you impress you
were in your all the smiley coalition.
And if they speak, you listen to their words.
Got a non kosher boss another
it seems as though they are timbers
propped up.
Yeah, suborn Coolessay Hatena ally
they perceive every shot
to be against them.
And when I do go for help,
they are the enemy. So beware of
Orthodox Allah, Allah perish them. The Nile, for whom?
With how and where are they being turned?
This is the simple translation of this fourth verse.
Just to recap,
as I've explained in the previous two sessions, law
addresses the prophets of Allah Hardy who was in them
and
tells him about the hip hop rights.
And in the first three verses we've covered in detail, some of the key characteristics of the modern African in general at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu. Ali was one
their false testimony, either Jacqueline afikomen, Aldo Nisha doe in Nicola rasool Allah, when the hypocrites come to
they say we testify that indeed you are surely the Messenger of Allah. So number one, one of their habits was false testimony, shahada zoo, something which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has repeatedly and very strongly warned us against and I've covered that in detail.
At the end of the first verse, Allah also says, well Allah who you shall do it and then we'll have a cleaner look at the moon. And Allah testifies that indeed the hypocrites are surely lies. This is another one of their key characteristics one of their chief traits, hypocrites lie, lying is the behavior not of a Walkman buts of homeownership.
Another trait in the huddle a man who Jinnah
that they have taken their roads as a shield. So they swear falsely in the name of Allah. They take Allah's Name in vain for them,
vowing in the name of Allah swearing an oath in the Name of Allah, pledging in the name of Allah is merely a ploy and a mechanism of deception. There's no belief there's no sincerity.
So this is another characteristic of the one hour for all of the hypocrites, which is to pledge falsely, take the name of Allah in vain and to violate and break and dishonor one's promises and trusts.
And then a third verse tells us because of this persistence behavior, they through their own deeds
creates a seal and a lock on their heart. And this is because
when a person sins
the effects of that sin are cumulative. Each sin
makes the subsequent sin simpler.
Each evil deed paves the way for the next evil deeds.
And each act of disobedience creates momentum. It's like a snowball, he has a snowball effects an avalanche. And before one knows it, one's whole character
becomes reflective of sin of corruption of iniquity and disobedience. So this is exactly what happened with the hypocrites. They are persistent ly, they're persistent, false pledges, their persistent violation of their trusts, and their dishonouring of their promises in the Name of Allah, their false testimony, all of this had a cumulative effect on them, to such an extent that their own deeds and behavior, placed a lock and seal on their hearts so that they couldn't understand.
This is where we stopped. Now Allah continues to address the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam individually in fact, even the very first verse, in which Allah says when the hypocrites come to you, Allah is not addressing all of the Sahaba or the alarm, rather than either jakka individually, Allah is addressing the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam. So similarly, in the fourth verse, Allah individually addresses the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and tells them
some more that tells him more about the some of the characteristics and traits of them on afikomen other than their lying their false testimony and their false pledges.
So what are these traits that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is being told about is being informed off in relation to the one Afghan the hypocrites Allah says without our aid often when you see them Torah dibaca at some their bodies impression
what in your guru the smartly call him and when they speak, you listen to their words. Now, you
During the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam.
This verse is actually not just general about all the hypocrites, because not all the hypocrites were handsome.
And not all of them were eloquent, which is
a simple fact.
Rather, Allah has speaking about a few hypocrites. So this is progressive. Allah begins a surah with a discussion of the general hypocrites, and the traits that cover all of them, lying false testimony, false pledges,
and misguidance. Then Alon narrows the group down in the fourth verse.
Now Allah is speaking about a select few, not all of them collectively, but rather a select few.
The leaders in oxygen.
So there were a few leaders of the hypocrites, they weren't formally appointed, because the hypocrites weren't a form or cohesive group.
Rather, they by virtue of their previous leadership, their wealth, their politics, their charisma, their leadership skills.
And therefore, witness, these people naturally became or were recognized and hailed as the leaders of the modern African the hypocrites. So there were a few of them.
And what what made them
the leaders of the hypocrites,
often he was their wealth
there previous positions of power and influence, and the fact that they occupied prominent positions in their tribes and their clans.
So, these few hypocrites, they also had their henchmen and their cronies around them
and their soccer fans
and they would actually come to the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu today
they would come to the masjid
they would pray with him, they would travel with him
and
they had leadership skills, they have the very things that people look up to.
So what do we look up to?
Wealth
beauty,
handsomeness, charm, charisma, eloquence these are the very things that captivate
and the winner of your own had all of these and bucketloads
One example is Abdullah had Norwegian or subtle
and there were others as well.
They would dress well speak well carry themselves well. They will rich, powerful, influential,
good looking, charming, charismatic. And this is what last week's off what is our Aidan Turner jivochat at some, and when you see them, their bodies please she
and the Sahaba of the Allah on whom relate that some of these hypocrites the leaders. They were tall,
handsome,
well built, well dressed, very elegant, charming.
When they spoke, this is why they had their henchmen
and their cronies around them. They were surrounded by their sycophants.
When they spoke, people listened, and they spoke well intelligently, politically, diplomatically eloquently. And they will even do this in the presence of Rasulullah sallallahu arte who was, in fact, a sort of La sala Haile, who will send them recognize their leadership qualities he did. This is why on one occasion in the early days of them at the end of terminal water,
the prophets of Allah, Allah and he was sending them in his eagerness and desire to propagate the message of Islam. He humbly went to visit Abdullah Hypnobabies subtle.
Now
before I continue, just a quick
history of Abdullah Hypnobabies son who was he was from
The Heritage tribes are from the two main Arab tribes of Madina, Munawwara
Oh, and huzzah Raj. He was of the Hazaragi tribe. He was a leader of one of the clans. And since the
the tribes of Arabia were a confederation of clans, and then you had super tribes that were confederation of tribes, so there was no one single emperor or king, rather, like in muckety muck aroma. You had the network, like the Senate, it was a Senate in Makkah, that another one and the leaders of of the individual clans and sub tribes would gather.
And this group of individuals, this collection of chieftains, would be regarded as the leadership of Makoto Makara. Of any area, region or tribe. No one single person amongst them was recognized as a king or a Mamak, or an emperor. So, but again, by virtue of their wealth, their power, their intelligence, their eloquence, even amongst these chieftains one or two would rise to the top. So similarly, in Makkah, Tomoko Rama.
One of the key leaders amongst all the chieftains was unbelievable Mahindra, the father of Harley Davidson will lead and he was very senior in age golfing. He had many sons, powerful, influential. So even amongst these chieftains, he rose to the top, so he was highly regarded. Another one who was very,
again a great diplomat, very wily politician. I will happen
when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam named Abuja,
so he rose to the top as well.
So similarly, in Madina, Munawwara, the tribes of Osen huzzah Ridge had their individual clans, and each of these clans and sub tribes had a lead. So, but amongst all of these leaders, there were some who were very influential by virtue of their leadership qualities and skills. So
one of the leaders of one of the key and chief leaders of all the chieftains of OHS was Sagamore, either the Allahu
wa one of the key leaders and chieftains of the husband was saddled, don't bother but of the alarm. These were known as the two sides who were the leaders of Medina, one from each tribe, but amongst the huzzah Raj and the chieftains of the husband, there was one of the individual who rivaled Saddam Oba in his leadership. And in fact, before the arrival of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, he was actually on his way to be crowned the chieftain of the whole of Medina, and that was Abdullah Hypnobabies solo. So he was from the huzzah Ranch, an Arab
one of the chieftains of the clans have the hazard edge, but by virtue of his eloquence is an influence. His political acumen is a very shrewd politician very widely. He rose to the top and just before the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was about to emigrate to Medina Munawwara.
The people of Medina were on the verge of crowning him, the chieftain of the whole of Medina, they were even they were even weaving
a wreath for him.
Then the Prophet sallallahu wasallam arrived. So he was very bitter, and he felt that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had usurped his authority, snatch the crown of Medina from him and denied him his kingship. So he was politically motivated to oppose Rasul Allah and Allah it wa salam, and personally, he bore great bitterness and resentment towards Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, but he was very windy politician. In fact, what he would do is, he knew
when to engage in battle when not to so in the internet sign warfare between the US and the hazard edge prior to the coming of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam he would cleverly keep himself out of all the battles.
So real diplomats,
even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recognized his influence. This is why he suggested to Sahaba the Allah and from there let's go and meet Abdullah Hypnobabies subtle, sort of pseudo Allah so Allah Allah
They will send a man to the animal. And in a group of Sahaba, called the Allahu Arnhem, he went to visit Abdullah hidden away even
when he arrived there, he was seated amongst his people, honored, respected, the focus of attention, the center of the gathering. So when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam arrived, the dust of the hooves of the animals
was the hooves of the animals kicked up dust. So Abdullah, who were humans who cheekily said that
move away from us, do not cause us dust to
reach us. And then he said
about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was donkey. He said, and he he took his cloak and beloved Norwegian circle, and he covered his face with the cloak. And he said to the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, move away with your donkey. The stench of your donkey hurts me offends me. So one of the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu said, By Allah,
even the donkey of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is more fragrant than you.
So some of his henchmen then reply to the Sahaba or the Allahu Anhu. And there began a war of words between both groups. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi, wa salam calm, the calm, everyone diffused the situation and left. But what is telling about this hadith is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam recognising the position and influence of Abdullah ignore Wavemaster, who actually went to meet him himself with a view to propagating Islam. And one of the things I'm delighted more waveless and all said on that occasion is that all Muhammad,
don't come to us to preach to us. This was at the very beginning, most likely before he even embraced Islam before the Battle of Bethel.
And he,
he said, if somebody wants to come to listen to you, they'll come to you, but don't come to us to preach to us. So this was obviously a bit well, it does seem was like it was before he formally embraced Islam.
But this was Abdullah Hypnobabies, subtle after the Battle of bed. As I mentioned last week, he felt that the waiting game is over. There's no point sitting on the fence. Muhammad's rule has been consolidated, he has defeated the Quraysh in the Battle of bedroom, his star is arising. And therefore What's important now is not to oppose him publicly and openly, but rather to join his group. So he declared his a slam.
And he joined the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And then
the others followed with him. They follow him and embrace Islam to now I'm delighted nor even saloon.
Being a man of influence,
he would command he had a commanding presence in any gathering, and this was typical of the other Hippocrates leaders. So even when he would come into the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and he spoke, people listened.
And this is what Allah rehearsed.
That when you look at them, when you see them, their bodies impress you, and when they speak, you listened.
And this is why in a hadith Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Indeed, my greatest fear for my ummah is good Lumina 50 Maleme in the sun, every hypocrite who is eloquence of tongue
these qualities, these characteristics that we admire in others and that we aspire to ourselves, wealth, charm charisma, beauty handsomeness.
They mean nothing in the sight of Allah.
This is why Muslim and others will relate to Hadith or sort of lots of Allah hidey holes in themselves in the law Hello young Pharaoh in Surah command word what are Kenyan zero Illa Rubik, Mahatma they come? Indeed Allah does not look at your figures and your appearances and your wealth and your riches. Rather Allah looks at your deeds and your hearts, beauty. handsomeness wealth, I mean,
these are a test
what's hidden is not a test. What's apparent is a test.
If a loss Chroma who was gonna be
As someone with handsomeness and VT,
it's not for them to gloat over and be proud of.
For Allah will not judge anyone by their appearance. It's remarkable. We are naturally attracted to handsome, beautiful people.
It's well known.
In fact, studies have shown that people are treated better if they are good looking. It's a simple fact of life.
at every juncture, in every situation, people behave well and respond well and treats people better, even if they are total strangers, if they are good looking.
And even if this is without
an inherent or latent desire for that person, so even without any passion or desire, it's just human nature, to be attracted to beauty handsomeness.
And to treat such a person, well speak to them well, in fact, studies have shown that good looking people
get better jobs, get better pay,
art get preferential treatment.
Now, this is not an endorsement of such behavior. Rather, it's an explanation of what we admire and aspire to ourselves.
And this is what the Quran says here. What is our Athan 30 bootcut. Sam, when you look at them, their bodies impress you.
They catch your attention with their appearance.
What in your router smartly told him and when they speak you listen to people fall silent. Everyone listens.
This is why this hobbled the Allah army who say that before the Battle of word in Medina.
Abdullah had not will be even subtle.
Every Jamar
he would stand up when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam imagined in the sea. This Masjid is full of Sahaba the Allahu Allah and
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam arrives for Juma our Salah
and he sits on the member for the gym Ah haha.
Of course in those days initially there wasn't a member. But wherever he sat on a trunk, and he leant on that trunk. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he would arrive for the gym or our hopper, before he began his hotbar Abdullah had no allegiance at all would stand up before the entire congregation in the masjid. And the Sahaba say
people would listen to him and pay attention because he was a man of influence.
And he would actually say, oh,
oh people, this is Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, Allah's messenger to you, amongst you.
Allah has honored you through him.
Allah has granted you dignity through him
listen to Him, follow Him, obey Him and then He would sit down it do this every week every Jamar
so he was someone that people listen to this hub out of the alarm and no one would say a word this shows his position. This is the meaning of the verse where you are at home to Angelica at Sam when you go to the smartly told him that when you see them, their bodies impress you please you only speak you listen.
But Allah goes on to tell her prophets Allah Allah Marlene will send them and all of us that this is all on the surface. This means nothing.
Good looks good talk.
Mean thing
within
Allah says Gan pushable Mohsen.
They are like propped up timbers
What's the meaning of Prop timbers
sometimes
at home,
in villages and towns, but even in villages
imagine a log of wood
or timber.
It's not in the building. It's not performing any functions.
not fulfilling any role. It's not holding up a wall. It's not holding up a beam, it's not holding the roof. It's not structural in any way. It's, it's adding nothing to the structure
is providing no benefits,
providing no support. It's not being used in anything.
So what do people do with it, they leave it lying on the ground outside, or they leave it propped up against the wall, it's there, maybe in the future, we might use it. But over time, because of its exposure to the elements, it rots. And what happens when you approach the timber it looks solid,
it's propped up for such a long time, it looks solid. And you think maybe I can make use of this, you go to it, but over time because of its exposure to the elements, you realize that
wood worms are have started eating it, or it's crumbling in part, and therefore it's useless.
So far is provided no role, no function is fulfilled no purpose. And it's now rotten and useless Until now it was just propped up against the wall.
Some of the orlimar relate that so this is the meaning. Apparently the Mona Lisa gone. Then as well. They looked good. They spoke well. They dressed well. But within they were hollow, they were empty. They were useless, worthless, about as good and as useful and as worthwhile and as worthy as propped up timbers against the wall. Another meaning of propped up that will amount of explained is that when they would come to the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam
I'm just quoting what's mentioned by the Allah amount of Islam don't take offense. But when they would come to the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, they would come
they weren't too interested.
So they would sit rather comfortably propping themselves up against the walls and pillars reclining comfortably. So horrible Musa timbers Pratap
This is how they were.
Whatever the prophets Allah Allah it was salam said to them,
just wouldn't penetrate them from lie have gone as the previous verse states, they just don't understand. Imagine they will be seated in the masjid of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam will lead them in salah, give them a hookah from his noble member,
address them admonished them advise them
and yet he had no impact or effect on them whatsoever.
The hearts will seal
and one of the reasons is they refused to observe the ethics
and the other verb of the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He has a major effect. Once Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was seated.
In the gathering,
the large gathering,
a man came
to the edge of the gathering, eagerly looked for some space, found a space towards the front mean further away from the back. So he made his way
found that spots and sat down.
Another man came,
came to the edge of the gathering, made no effort to find space at the front or move forward.
Where he found space at the edge of the gathering. He just sat there. Another man Kane saw the gathering made no attempt to stay there and moved on and left.
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
there was a man
who puts himself forward. So Allah propelled him forward.
There was a man
who stayed where he was. So Allah kept him where he was. And there was a man who turned away. So Allah
the simple act
of finding a spot in the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu it was
a limb had such a major impact on the heart.
Someone who looked eagerly looked for looked for a space and put himself forward. Allah propelled him forward.
Someone who made no efforts come forward but didn't go back either. He stayed where he was sort of like Captain where he was. And someone who saw the gathering, looked at it turned away. Law turned him away. By the testimony of Rasul Allah Subhan Allah he wasn't. This is why they were Allah ma have always emphasized the etiquette
and the other
and the decorum of a gathering in the name of Allah.
And in which Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam, his words and the words of Allah who mentioned
Imam Muhammad Rahmatullah. He was ill.
He was ill.
He was reclining against the wall. It was just a private gathering wasn't a religious gathering or speech or private gathering.
He was ill, so he was reclining against the wall.
Someone mentioned the name of Ibrahim. In one narration, Ibrahim Al Rahim, Allah, very saintly figure. So Imam would humble despite his illness, he sat up. They never mentioned the verse of the Quran or Hadith. They just mentioned the name of a pious person. Ibrahim had not heard him. So Imam Muhammad and a humble in forward, stop reclining step forward. And he sat forward and he said, It is not befitting is that the names of the pious are mentioned amongst us, and we sit reclining against the wall. That was humble.
Rahimullah and this has always been the case.
Imam Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah says, I have never stretched my legs towards the house of my teacher hammer did not abuse a lay man, even though there are seven streets between my house and his house.
Some of the old amount of Islam said, I have never drank water in the presence of my teach.
This there's a history of other of respect of etiquette. So the moon if you wouldn't observe the etiquettes and the decorum of the gathering of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and some of that some of the rolling out of seed and commentators have said that this is also part of the reason why there have been referred to as pushable more Sanada as propped up timbers because it will sit there reclining against the walls against the pillars.
As I said, this is I'm just quoting what the what they've what the real amount of seed have said, if someone genuinely needs to recline and sits in a comfortable position because of health and fatigue or age then at handling there.
There is no offense whatsoever. This is no recrimination or center of anyone, but it's an encouragement that those who can should attempt to sit respectfully in the hope that through their
observance of the etiquettes and the dabs of the gatherings of Allah. Is that a source of Allah Almighty Salam, Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah will honor them with knowledge
that's why Allah says in the verse of the Quran
yeah you're Latina on what you they are dealing with the facade filmer journalist of Sir Who, if sila
what you that Leland Xu Zhu from chisel, your fairy love and Medina Armando Minka. Ladino. Today muda Raja,
that all believers, this is again about the gathering of Rasul Allah, so Allah, Allah Almighty, Allah, what would happen? Some some would come and they would look for space where they couldn't find space.
So Allah says to the Sahaba, or the alarm, will believers when it is said to you, the facade
filmer journalists, expand,
create space, in the gatherings, for subtle and make space. That means huddle together so closely together, so that you can create more space for others. How will Allah reward you and these are the words of the Quran, you create space.
Allah says, you have say Allah Allah, Allah will create expense for you.
You create a little space
for your companions in a gathering. Allah subhanho wa Taala will create horizons expenses and spaces fee
without even choosing from Shazam, this How about have the hola Arnhem in their eagerness to sit with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam,
they would remain seated.
So when he would hint at them that he needs to go or even say to them, they in their zeal would remain seated Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam in his desire, in his humility, and in his
because of his manners, and his gentleness, he would sacrifice his own privacy and his own needs, and he would remain seated with me. So this inconvenienced, but you wouldn't say anything. So Allah subhanho wa taala, Allah recognizing the zeal of the Sahaba of the Lavon said to them, what you are dealing Xu Zhu.
And when, when it's a set to you rise
from Shazam, so rise, when you told that the gathering is over, go, rise, then immediately rise don't sit around with our dean and shazam from Shazam, when it is said to you Rise, Rise, Rise and go.
So see, see, how Allah how Allah rewards a person? What did the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam say, Allah rewards like with like, but like, Allah rewards like in the material world, with like in the spiritual world, how soon allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Someone put himself forward, I physically, so Allah propelled him forward, obviously, which means spiritually.
Someone stayed where he was. So Allah kept him away.
Someone turned away so Allah turned him away. Here as well in the verse, Allah says, you create space for one another, Allah will create expense and space for you. Which doesn't mean physically mean spiritually. And then the second thing which Allah says, without even choosing function, when it's a set to you Rise, Rise and go. So Allah rewards like with like, if you rise physically, what will Allah do? In return, you get a very lovable living in I mean, c'mon Latina, automata Raja, Allah will raise and elevate the believers in the ones of knowledge amongst Allah rewards like with like, but like in the physical world, Allah awards with like in the spiritual world, and all of this
is just for observing etiquettes nothing else imagined. So, for those of us who can let us observe the etiquettes of the gatherings, this is something that when I would say they would sit reclining, lounging about No wonder they didn't learn anything. And Allah describes them partly for this reason, as it will amount of deceit of said, getting the impossible Cinda as though they are propped up timbers Hello, useless, worthless, empty.
So, they may look the part they may walk the walk and talk the talk, but and they may look the part but inside they are empty. This is why as that hadith Muslim says, Allah does not look at your figures and your appearances and your wealth. Allah looks at your deeds on your heart. That's what matters to Allah subhanho With that,
being rich, being handsome, good looking, well dressed, well spoken. These things don't matter. That's why during the time of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was one seater with his Harbottle the love and and a man walked past. So how about all the love and spider sold Allah Allah Allah he will send them What do you say if such a person
he was a leader of his people was a lead
achieved.
Now obviously, no one could have arisen to be achieved and without being wealthy, powerful, influential without those leadership qualities charm charisma. eloquence.
So this How about are the Allahu Anhu said the auto suit Allah, a man of honor.
A man looked up to respected and listened to if he speaks he's heard.
If he instructs he is obeyed.
And if he proposes for marriage, his marriage his proposal is except
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam fell silent. Another man walked past
Rasul Allah Almighty himself himself what do you say of such a person? He was humble.
Unknown, well, relatively unknown. No position of power
No influence, no wealth, no riches.
Someone who kept himself to himself, someone who was looked down by others. Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said what do you say off him? So the Rasul Allah, a man
who is not respected or who is not looked at
who is not followed. If he speaks, no one listens if he instructs no one obeys, and then they go on to say that if he proposes
if he puts forward a proposal for marriage, his proposal is rejected.
No one would marry him.
Luck
sort of lost the love it was his words were
one of these
is better than a world full of those.
One of these is better than a world full of those.
And there are some children have spoken in the cradle.
spoken in the
arms of the mother as a baby be seven Imodium? It was Sarah.
And another that Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam related
that there was a mother with a child
and a powerful man walked, rode past with his entourage in a procession. Animals robes
surrounded by people on it.
Imagine
caravan with a whole entourage.
So the mother cradling her child in her arms
preyed on Allah make my child
grow up to be like him.
So the child spoke up and said, Oh Allah do not make me like
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam related this hadith.
This is one of the miraculous incidents when the child spoke up.
Then, the mother saw a young maid must have been a servant.
Being driven away, publicly, rebuked, abused, verbally scolded.
She was unkempt and disheveled and appearance, held in contempt people were drunk driving her away.
Soudal the mother said, looking at the pitiful state of that young maiden. The mother cradling her child in her arm said Oh Allah, do not ever make my child grow up to be like her. And the child spoke up and said of Allah make me
not that you are driven away, but rather, you would rather be held in contempt by the people of the world and the creation than be held in contempt by the Creator Allah
and that's why I'm a heavy sort of law. So the law my legal system says
there are many
disheveled,
unkempt people covered in dust.
But for him will have warp driven away from the doors.
So if you look at them, what's their appearance? A chef
the chef, disheveled, unkempt.
covered in dust
Motherfu in Bill abre driven away from the doors, there's a knock on the door someone opens a door takes one look at them slams the door shut.
They knock again the person opens the door shoo them away, get rid of them.
Look for him bill of work driven away from the doors. That's their position as far as a creation is concerned. But their position with Allah lo aksumite Hola. Hola, Barbara. If they were to swear in the name of Allah, Allah would fulfill their oath. The meaning of Allah would fulfill their oath is if they say by Allah, this will happen Allah will make sure that it will happen if, if they swear in the name of Allah and say this won't happen. Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah through His grace will answer their door and ensure that it doesn't happen.
That's how honored they are in the sight of Allah. So this is the reality close ups
Lawrence's eloquence all the qualities that we aspire to and that we admire in others,
that may not mean much in the sight of Allah.
But the very things that we fear, simplicity
humility,
seclusion,
being uninvolved
and an emit
these things are beloved to Allah Subhana Allah
so, Allah says what either I will cut in your call this morning Oh Lincoln SHABOOM was another when you look at them, their bodies please you
and when they speak he listened.
But they are in reality like Pratap Tempus worthless, useless hollow.
Then Allah says yes, a Munna, Coolessay hatin Allah him. Allah describes the hypocrites during the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
How were they?
Although they appear to be confidence, this is a facade. This is a mask within
within.
They are very,
very brittle.
very fickle,
very unbalanced, very fearful. They are uncomfortable in their own skin.
always fearful, they were always fearful that there would be caught out.
As I mentioned at the very beginning, in the introduction, what's a good definition of a monad?
Where did the word come from? As I've explained, there are lizards and rodents that dig holes under the ground. And as part of their deception and their defense strategy, they have
open holes through which they end.
And then they have their burrows and their tunnels and their labyrinth of tunnels underneath. And if ever they are pursued by a hunter, man or animal through the hole,
then they have other exit holes which they have prepared beforehand, but which aren't open, so they dig and burrow all the way up to the surface. And then right near the surface, you have a thin layer of soil which isn't visible from above, it just looks like normal ground, but it's a very thin layer, and what the animal and the rodent would do, then the mole is go straight to that prepared hole and finally dig through the ceiling, which is very thin and managed to escape. So this exit hole was known by the Arabs I used to refer to it as Nafi.
And Norfolk means tunnel and FARC plural. So this is who the munaf own. This is what in the follow up is
deception,
a labyrinth of tunnels, an exit strategy, entering into Islam openly and exiting in a very conceivable deceptive manner.
So
one of the good single words to describe a Munna FIP is a mole.
A mole.
So, a mole. Imagine a mole in the masjid of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam, I'm gonna fit in the masjid of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam How would he be he may be well spoken and well dressed, but always fearful that he will be exposed
as Allah says of them in Africa in the Quran
what you their mountains and it sorta to another about boom Illa about when Surah has revealed they look at one another the hypocrites. They're always looking at one another, their eyes catch one another's eyes, and they are the one article
in another verse, They are forever fearful that a surah will be revealed about them that will expose them.
They are comfortable in the uncomfortable in their own skin. In another verse, although this isn't about them on our own, but it describes a feeling in general Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says, when other level minimum mineral massages Allah He youth Gadhafi, smo wasafi Hara via Hula,
hula Allah Hi Fi, a ILAHA fina Allah and forsaken
The who is more
sinful
and who is a greater rounder than one who prevents the name of Allah being mentioned and taken in the misdeeds of Allah?
And who strives to create ruin in these mustards of Allah?
Who would do that?
Would anyone sympathetic?
Try to harm the masjid of Allah. Would anyone sincerely believing in Allah, try to prevent the name of Allah being taken in the mystery of Allah? What greater sin is there? Then harming the mystery of Allah ruining the masjid of Allah, preventing Vikram Eva da of Allah in the masjid of Allah?
So Allah says, These people will like Magana Lahoma yet Hello, ha ILAHA ifIm it is not for them. It is never for them to enter into these machines, except fearing it for themselves.
So this was the state of them on our football. This is the meaning of the verb of the word. Yes. suborn a Coolessay Hatena la him. They perceive every shout to be against them. What does that mean?
Tune the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they come to the masjid of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam they sit in the gathering of the Muslims.
Suddenly, there's a clap. I have something falls. someone shouts
someone screams
because they are always on the edge. always fearful of being caught out. always suspicious. They literally jump out of their skins. They think that that shout is for them, ie they've been caught out.
Someone screams their first thought is oh, now I've been caught.
Someone calls out their name.
Their instant reaction is oh no, I hope I haven't been caught.
That's the nature of a mole.
So yes, the water cooler say Hatena la him. They perceive every shout to be against them.
Allah than says these are their characteristics. These are their traits. Hola. I do have a hero whom Allah addresses the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, they are the enemy. So beware of them.
All of whom Allah, Allah perish them.
And one of the reasons for saying Allahu Allah
is that, although the hypocrites lived with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam all these years, and they harmed him so much.
He never did anything.
He took no action against them.
He took no retaliatory measures against them.
There were one or two exceptions, but that was very clear like mustard there are where they built a masjid. And then it was called by Allah. There are missions which they had built to harm the Muslims, that forever known as Masjidul. There are the mystery of there are the masjid of home that was demolished and burned down. But individually the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam never took any retaliatory measures against them, did not fight with them.
And one of the reasons is, it's so difficult. This is the nature of lying. This is the nature of deception. This is the nature of hypocrisy. What do you do? What can you do? There is no defense against lie.
This is why VHS we should never laugh at anyone who has been deceived.
We shouldn't find it fun.
We shouldn't think that he's an idiot.
For trusting for believing, she's an idiot for trusting for believing.
Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself says and want me to get in a believer a milkman is innocent, naive.
Noble.
That's why I translated zero as innocent rather than first and then my evil hidden literally means naive. But he doesn't mean naive in a negative way. It means in
is
a belief that is not suspicious.
That's the character of I'm gonna.
I'm gonna fit this forever suspicious, uncomfortable in their own skin.
Everyone thinks that the other person is just like them. That's human nature. We see others as a reflection of ourselves. So a believer, being soft, gentle, kind, trusting, innocent, honest, thinks that everyone else is good and honest.
And
a rascal, and a rogue thinks everyone else is a rascal in a row just like him.
So, a moment of little room getting in a belief that is innocent to noble.
So if you speak to a believer, he thinks you just like him.
honest and truthful and noble,
and innocent.
So he believes you.
And that's how a believer is a believer, he's not paranoid and suspicious. A believer is careful and cautious. That's different. And that requires another topic.
careful and cautious yet,
but in general believe it is innocent. And nope.
So we should never laugh at anyone who has been lied to and deceived or taken for a ride. Betrayed. We should never think even for a moment that are stupid.
Why that's a character of a belief. And what better example could there be than this? Even Rasul? allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had no defense against them on our football.
They lied to him.
They came to him, they lied, they made their excuses and they said, We won't be able to join you. So grant us permission to be excused on this occasion from joining you on this campaign. The walk
to the prophets of Allah Islam said,
he accepted what they said less than to Allah says to him, if Allah Who limited internet
May Allah forgive you a Messenger of Allah, may Allah excuse you. Why did you grant them permission and leave
women Holcomb mineral out Robin

Law.
From amongst you, there are hypocrites
from the Bedouin, and from amongst those who surround Medina, there are hypocrites
amongst the better
Amin el Medina and from the people of Medina, they are persistent in their NIFA in their hypocrisy, meaning they are so entrenched they are veteran hypocrites laterra lemahieu You do not know them we know them. Allah says to him. So even Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he was liked by the hypocrites. This is why Allah says, Leave Allah to deal with them Allah whom Allah,
Allah perish them. Because what can anyone else do? They are always lying, cheating, deceiving, betraying,
entering, exiting,
changing their colors, chameleons masks personas, what defense do you have against this? Dealing with one month it is a full time job for a whole team of people.
This is why lying so dangerous Allahu Akbar. What defense does a person have against lie? A liar won't hesitate. A lie will swear in the name of Allah and lie a lie will curse himself and lie a liar.
I've been in situations where bearded Muslims have sworn in the name of Allah in front of me, touched the Quran and sworn in front of me.
sworn in the name of their children
in front of me
to this degree, that
I swear in the name of Allah him speaking the truth and Allah strike my child dead. If I am lying,
Allah cast a bolt of lightning on my child and kill my child. You find life if I'm lying, and then five minutes later the same person admits yes share How was life
What defense does a person have against line? No defense. And that's just one of the weapons in the arsenal and the repertoire of the mafia, line, just one.
This is why the words are very telling. Allah doesn't say you take action against them. Allah doesn't say you deal with them. Allah subhanahu wa Tada says, Who will do what for whom they are the enemy, but you beware of them, as far as dealing with them is concerned. Othello whom Allah Allah confound them, Allah curse them, Allah perish them.
Allah shall battle with
and now you for call with our they're being turned mean after all this guidance, the words of Allah the words of his little source Allah Allah Almighty send them His presence such Noren hedaya they still cannot see.
And this is why Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He dealt with non Muslims
with dignity and honor. Of course, he dealt with them on our own as well, but Rasul Allah salAllahu alayhi wa sallam had respect even for those non Muslims
who he had dealings with
a beautiful example is muttering you have no idea
what a midnight it was a non Muslim.
When the prophets Allah Allah Almighty He was salam.
When he granted Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam protection after his experience in five, and he brought him into Makkah, muttering with no ID told him I grant you my Juwon protection Come with me. He took him to the garba from the
gates of Makkah, brought him to the gamba. And in the Gabba, the Quraysh were gathered. multimillion Id had told his sons to come dressed in armor and with their weapons. And that meant that motoring with no ID was granting his protection total Assault allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
that meant he had the back and the protection of his sons, his family that meant he had the protection of his clan. So most of them ignore it despite being a non Muslim. He gave the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam protection after his incredible barley passed away. And he came into the mud off of the garba and he announced that I give Muhammad Abdullah my Juwan protection and then Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the presence of the Quraysh the chieftains of the Quraysh he performed the laugh around the gorilla whilst being guarded by the sons of multicollinearity
Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam remembered him so fondly, that after the Battle of Bethel, when all of those captives were taken in Bethel, imagine, Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, if most ignore it was alive and present, and he wants to speak to me and intercede before me on behalf of all of these captives of mother, and he requested me that I release them in his honor, I would release all of
why, because even though they were unbelievers, they were principled. They were honest.
They had their reasons for not believing. But there was no line. There was no deceit, there was no deception. There was no desire to harm. They were noble and dignified, even in their disbelief
and honest in their disbelief, but the munaf IP, Allah,
the munaf IP, the hypocrite is so deluded, he thinks he is not only deceiving the whole of creation, he's also deceiving the Creator.
And that's why I mentioned the verse last week, that they will stand before Allahu yomo fiam and even swear before Allah, we ask them guna and Nomada che and they will think that they will have got away with the evil in the day of judgment before Allah subhana wa Tada. That's why Allah says who will do what they are the enemy, beware of them and Allah, Allah, perish them a night for goon with the are they being turned.
I would love to carry on with the next verse, but I think I should stop here otherwise, there's a new section, which covers
three verses. And this is now mainly about Abdullah Hypnobabies especially when
The latter two of these three verses. So as I said from the beginning of the beginning of the surah deals with them on our own in general, and then it trickles AND narrows down to the leaders. And then from amongst the leaders, it comes down to mainly Abdullah Hypnobabies Sybil, who was the chieftain of the winner. And if I start on that section, it will take very long I pray that Allah subhanahu Adalja enable us to understand, may Allah make a law adorn us with the beautiful characteristics of email are love protectors from the nefarious
traits of NIFA ark of hypocrisy were sold Allah wa salam O Allah had the he will have soon in the b&m while he was so happy ah my aims chronicle long I should do Allah either land as the physical Anatolia be like
