We continue our theme for this Lavon de Rowsell higher middle

classes in Umbria vikita Billa. Life lessons from the stories of

the prophets in the Quran, incidences from the lifetime of

Prophets, peace be upon them, gleaned from the pages of the

Quran, with the aim of reflecting on the wisdom that we find in the

stories and incidences to take place in a time of these profits,

and the lessons we can learn

and which you could implement in our daily lives. Tonight we focus

on lessons you learn from my particular incident occurred in

the night in the lifetime of the Musa alayhis. Salam, an event

that

is so significant that in fact Surah Al Baqarah. The second

chapter, in the clear logical order of the Quran, is titled

after it.

In this particular incident, Musa alayhis salam, his people had some

issue in the society and the wish to have some crucial meta

resolved.

Salam instructed by Allah as the verse is what he called a Musa,

and they call me in de La Jolla, Moroccan Interborough Baqarah.

Remember when Musa alayhis salam told his people that Allah has

commanded you to sacrifice a cow

or a turkey Dona Hua, the people responded to Musa and said, Are

you making a fool of us?

Now Musa alayhis salam would never make a mockery or take lightly the

Command of Allah. And certainly he would not take matters affecting

the community for which he was responsible to guide and he said

Carla beliee, an akuna minal Jaya, he, he said to his people, you

know, I seek refuge in Allah from such kind of ignorant behavior,

where I would make a full on such an important matter.

Basically, the people of Lusardi salaam did not want to follow the

Command of Allah, as was conveyed by him. So he started to

procrastinate by getting technical in some way. And using sarcastic

remarks, and engaging Musa by asking him

what kind of cow is it?

What age was the cow? B? What kind of color was the cow? B, what

shade of color was the cow? B, all this was part of a delaying

tactic. Eventually, radioactively sick sacrifice the cow, without

the hearts being engaged in that action. And the Quran says further

but who were massacred if they did it, they did sacrifice the cow.

But they did it almost as if they did not do it. In other words,

they did not really want to do it. Though they perform the act.

They understood in their minds, what was being commanded by Allah

through Musa but they did not feel in the hearts, the desire to

fulfill and follow that command with sincerity. And Allah alludes

to this when he says at the end of the verse, where you recomb it

he'll talk,

the talk and you will remember, we show you our signs and provide you

these verses.

That you may think that you may reflect so it means you may use

your intellect you may use your reasoning, you may use your mind

immediately after saying about talking about the mind the next

words that follow through

Whoo, whoo coming back Italica for Java to do customer, Allah makes

reference to the mind and immediately goes to the heart.

After all of this, your hearts have become hardened, your hearts

have become hardened, and they become like rocks. And then it

goes on to describe different kinds of rocks, which I will

elucidate upon.

So Allah says, Your hearts will become like rocks. In fact, some

of your hearts are worse than rocks, and he gives three

categories of rocks. And we shall reflect upon that.

Some hearts are like rocks. And this simile creates a particular

imagery in our mind of a thought provoking image. These rocks are

somewhat symbolic of hearts. In the water, it says we're in the

middle jollity that might affect our each of these rocks, or two of

them. Allah speaks about water flowing from that. And these rocks

are therefore symbolic, some Allah might say, of hearts, obviously.

But the water that emanates from it may represent the potential for

faith, and the potential for goodness. So let's look at the

three kinds of hearts and the three kinds of rocks. Allah says,

The first kind of heart is the kind of heart filled with

goodness, open to five

rocks and hills, from which water springs forth. You find water

flowing from it. We're in nominal IGRT lomaia gentleman who

rocks from which water flows, you find water flowing there. This is

at the heart of Seda Khadija who will need to accept Islam on

healing of the first revelation, and believe in the Prophet even

been before he announced his prophethood

she did no debating. She required no argumentation.

No convincing, she witnessed the truth. And a heart overflowed with

the fountain of faith, as well as a fountain of goodness. And as you

know, there are so said about Khadija and it be it covered a

nurse is covered to be a nurse, or wha certainly if you Maliha either

Harmonia nurse. She believed in me when no one believed, she assisted

me but everyone refused to help.

She needed no inspiration or motivation. She witnessed the

truth, and she embraced it. The second kind of heart is a troubled

heart, a heart that has the potential for faith, but only

comes to faith after some kind of a disaster, or some kind of a

traumatic event.

And this traumatic event may bring the person to the realization of

truth. We're in the mean ha the Maya Chicago for your Corojo

middleman. The second kind of rock is the one that cracks open, it

first opened by some force, and then you find water flowing

through it. And this kind of heart is like the heart of the companion

of rasool Allah through mama, from Allah, who thought it was a well

known King, powerful Arab ruler, and challenge King,

to whom one of the keys to whom the prophet sent a letter

to embrace our to invite them to Islam. He was one of those kings,

the Roman king in the Persian and he Gyptian and one of them was

through mama, and he had the intention of killing the Prophet.

And an incident occurred where he was going towards pilgrimage from

Yemen. And there was an altercation with people who

happened to be Muslim, and in an altercation, he was caught, and he

came as a prisoner to measure the number we're Sharif where he was

held as a prisoner in the masjid of Rasulullah. And then he

witnessed how Muslims behave, this enemy who wanted to kill the

Prophet,

he witnessed the behavior of the companions and the family of the

restroom. And you witnessed the benevolence and the compassion of

the Rasul. So when you will set him free, he went for a distance

and he came back. He said, No, I want to embrace this faith.

He came to Islam through a traumatic experience, a hater of

Islam, one wanton killing of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi

wasallam, but a traumatic experience like imprisonment. He

saw the reality and then from that rock, which is cracked open, they

float the faith. Then there's a third kind of heart and many

people have that. They may be in faith purely out of fear. We're in

the MaHA Lama. Yeah. Shatila that if you don't believe in Allah,

they don't do certain things. Allah will punish them. So to

avoid the punishment, they worship in the pray, but there's no deal

maybe faith coming from them. There's no Eman flowing really

within them. Of course they are Muslim. But this is a different

kind of heart. So remember that we believe in Allah's reward. We

believe in Allah as punishment is part of our belief. We should have

the faith because we genuinely

Believe

in Allah subhanho wa taala. And we do good, because it's good and the

right thing to do not because only of reward what is required is the

opposite of that kind of heart. And the opposite of that kind of

heart is the heart of Robbie, Elijah we are basally who said

Ilahi ma but to kick off a monadic welcome Onfi jannettek Bell what

it took,

but took Allah I did worship your to fear for your *? No, do I

worship you out of desire for your paradise, I found you worthy of

being worship. Therefore, I worship you

know who's one of the other points can hijack it or should do casa,

there are people whose hearts besides these three are worse than

rocks harder than rocks. And these are the hearts of Abu Lahab. And

Abu Jamal, uncles of the prophet who knew their nephew, who called

him by himself, Assad, Al Amin, the truthful and trustworthy, yet

neither the minds nor the hearts were open to the truth. And there

is an important relationship here between heart and mind. Because we

need to be able to identify our deepest values. And then those

values, guide our actions and then be influenced by rational thought.

What are the lessons we learn? From what we've heard so far?

Three points. Perhaps we can reflect upon

three lessons from this incident related to Musa alayhis salam and

his people, one.

Don't procrastinate. Don't delay if something needs to be done, do

it. If you have to do some things do what needs to be done, as soon

as it can be done in the best possible manner. Hadith of

Rasulullah and Mr. Muhammad have been humbled in combat.

Where fee for sila to fully agree Sir, if you have in your hand and

see to plan and the trumpet goes Akiyama, you still have to plant

the seed.

Because why we must acknowledge the reality that living is

temporary,

the certainty that life cannot be too long. The possibility that

life may be shorter than we anticipate. And all of this should

motivate us to action.

Do what needs to be done, as well as you can do it as soon as

possible. If not, we will have too many missed opportunities in life,

which we may eventually regret. Number two, some of us get so

technical in matters religious or otherwise, they'd be forget the

essence of why we do what we need to do. We get so technical,

specifically in religious matters.

That we forget why we do what we need to do. From looking at booths

as people there the choice of slaughtering any girl any girl

dakara Allah gonna specify lady can technical, what kind of cow

how old must be what color must be? And eventually, they found it

almost impossible to find out. And when they did it, the kind of cow

they were asking about. And eventually, they did it half

heartedly or no heartedly. Why? Custom Enos and because of the

excessive questioning. That is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam one Hadith documented saya Bukhari and Sahih Muslim man he

took my gopher just unable to convey to me who must have taught

him what I forgot you stay away from it completely. What I ordered

you to do, do it to the best of your ability.

Then he said, For innama

publikum Khasra Tomasa any him worked in our home, in the people

before you will experience annihilation and destruction

because of the extra questioning and because of the argumentation

with the prophets. And there's another Hadith it's

in Allah Korea confer Latin ki lover call what are the

three things Allah does not like? Killing tails kilo Akkad. He Said,

She Said She Said he said, getting stories. Secondly, the misplacing

of wealth. In other words, unnecessary spending, and the

third one is unnecessary, excessive questioning. And the

third lesson we learn from the simile of the rock and of the

heart, we learn the importance of having a good and a sound heart.

In fact, the Quran emphasizes the most valuable asset we take from

this world to the next about Dr to solve the permanent consequences

of good action. The good actions you do is never wiped out the

permanent consequence of good actions that flow mean carbon

saline from a pure heart. So I leave you with the message of the

third point. Always be is good

but do it with sincerity from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise,

it does not really count as the prophets Allah Allahu Allah was in

a hadith documented in the salary of Imam Al Bukhari said in Allah

Allah young guru la sala de Kooning, Anwar lickin wala ki

young guru la Kulu become Malik. Allah does not judge you by your

physicality, no by your position nor by your possession, but rather

by the sincerity of your hearts and the actions that flow there

from a cold call. The Hydra was tougher Allah wa salam aleikum wa

rahmatullah
