00:00:36 --> 00:00:41

We example of those who carried the Torah but did not carry it

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

are likened to a donkey which carries books.

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

Now this famous parable in the Holy Quran is what they call fish

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

be who Moroccan it is suddenly which is a compounded simile. In

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

other words, it captures much, in a very few words,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

this famous parable of the gross Quran,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

we find reference to those who carried the book, but did not

00:01:07 --> 00:01:13

carry it. And people they interpret this see, it can imply

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

two things. On the one hand, those who had in their hands the Torah,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

because it makes reference to the Torah, the divine scripture

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

received by the be Musa, those who had in the hands the Torah

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

revealed soon to be Musa Ali salaam, yet, they did not bother

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

to understand the contents of his message, and therefore could not

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

really access the full benefit of what they had possessed within

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

them. In other words, they had a book because they did not bother

00:01:45 --> 00:01:49

to understand his message, they could not fully benefit from what

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

they had in their possession, or

00:01:52 --> 00:01:55

those who have in their possessions valuable information,

00:01:56 --> 00:02:01

in this case, divine revelation of the Torah, which provides guidance

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

and guidelines for the human beings. Yet those human beings who

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

have it did not act upon the guidance at their disposal.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

Therefore, they could not really fully benefit from the Torah which

00:02:16 --> 00:02:16

that

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

you see, they say in order to get a cosafa Rancic Yakuza, you say,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

what does a donkey know the benefit of saffron? To him is like

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

red grass. Those who know saffron will know it's very expensive in

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

gray, but those who don't know will just think it's the grass

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

it's colored maybe in green. Now this kind of parable, masala Rena

humbleth Terrazza Mala Mia beluga commercial Rahima the middle as

00:02:42 --> 00:02:48

far as those like donkeys carrying books. This is Cathy categorized,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:53

specifically as Dutch beaten feeling in other words, a parable

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

which draws a concise competitive image that conveys a very clear

00:02:57 --> 00:03:02

lesson and the Mufasa lien or the interpreters of the Quran, they

00:03:02 --> 00:03:08

interpret this suddenly to mean human let me rotarod Let me I'm a

Kuta guna Duna st father de Mina, in other words,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25

these are people who can scripture who have divine guidance at their

00:03:25 --> 00:03:30

disposal, but neither act upon it nor bother to comprehend it.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:37

It is like a donkey that may carry valuable beneficial books without

00:03:37 --> 00:03:42

benefiting whatsoever from the information or the knowledge that

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

the books contain which they carry.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

I would like us to reflect on this not so much in the term of Musa

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

alayhis salam and his people, but try to look and introspect

00:03:52 --> 00:03:57

ourselves in our situation from this parable. I would like us to

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

critically introspect that we have the Quran, we have divine

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

revelation, like the people of Musa had this unique book called

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

the Quran the most read book in its original preserve in its

00:04:08 --> 00:04:13

entirety in its original as revealed to Rasulullah. The most

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

interpreted book, the most memorized book, the only book

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

which has a science which evolved regarding is the station called

00:04:20 --> 00:04:20

the Jew in

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

this book of Wu Chang Ali Karim Allah which has said, for who

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

module Iman?

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

To whom are you now? Who are you?

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

Worse I feel Islam when Yahoo will od to hackable he thought. He said

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

this is the book, the Quran. It's a mine of belief in the center of

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

belief. It is a source of knowledge and the ocean of

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

knowledge. It is the plantation of Justice and the pools of justice

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

is the foundation stone of Islam and the construction of Islam. It

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

is the values of truth and the plains of reality. That book of

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

which Allah Subhan

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Anwar Allah says in other Khurana yeah dealing with the upon where

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

you bus you mean a Latina Yama Luna Salah Anello whom agilone

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

Kabira surely the Quran guys to that which is manifest and

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

manifest the highest expression of integrity and gives glad tidings

00:05:17 --> 00:05:21

of a tremendous reward to those who have faith and those who

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

manifest that faith in good and beneficial action. This is the

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

book of Bucha Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

in a hadith documented by Mattila, Miriam Wahab, Lulu Hill Mateen

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

were with the crew Hakeem was robbed from snowpine who will love

00:05:44 --> 00:05:48

of Allah which if you hold fast to you will never be divided. It is

00:05:48 --> 00:05:52

the wide reminder is a wise reminder, it is the straight path.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

Whoever speaks by the Quran speaks the truth. Whoever judged by the

00:05:56 --> 00:06:00

Quran judges with Justice whoever acts upon the Quran will be duly

00:06:00 --> 00:06:05

rewarded, and whoever invites to his guidance is himself guided and

00:06:05 --> 00:06:06

guiding others to the right path.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

This is the value of our Scripture. And as the sage Ibrahim

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

Adam said

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

in the commentary full Quran from Tamil OB you do know the Quran,

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

but you don't act upon it.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

Let us critically reflect for ourselves this Quran

00:06:26 --> 00:06:31

are we genuinely appreciating the book or are we also neglecting

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

appreciation of it? Like the people of Musa de to the Torah

00:06:36 --> 00:06:40

is the poetry of mahalo Kadri very famous poet he writes about the

00:06:40 --> 00:06:47

Quran lamenting, he said Can a quick Joe Samy perky Sanaya daata

00:06:47 --> 00:06:52

eak Barasa Giotto. So Babu Leia jata we speak on behalf of the

00:06:52 --> 00:06:56

Quran. He says there is no assembly without my recitation.

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

And I make you smile once but I made to cry many times the Quran

00:07:01 --> 00:07:06

says his words he would say Aki that K Dawei are known per day

00:07:06 --> 00:07:11

right okay. You will be muted which there is worker there. ASAP

00:07:11 --> 00:07:16

Satya Jetta who is that this is how they call others to my message

00:07:16 --> 00:07:19

but they themselves follow the laws of others. This is how they

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

abused me and this is how they humiliate me.

00:07:23 --> 00:07:28

Kiss me which go about in the heat kisser ultimate melee Duni PDB

00:07:28 --> 00:07:33

Malkia larreta who Bucha we call him as loomly He says though all

00:07:33 --> 00:07:37

the gatherings you go to in any celebration of the Muslims, they

00:07:37 --> 00:07:42

read me and recite me to begin with me. Yet I feel so lonely and

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

no one is oppressed as I am. The Quran tends to say in other words,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

are we genuinely appreciating the book? Or are we also lacking

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

appreciation of it? Like the people of moose added to the

00:07:54 --> 00:08:01

Torah? Secondly, have we lost our status as a leading nation in the

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

world as a global civilizational force?

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

Because we have lived the Quran and this is a question posed by

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

another board Allah Akbar whose is was among me more assisted

00:08:13 --> 00:08:18

tarbiyah Quran musalman walker or to Karhu a Tarik Quran Walker,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

they do a great because as Muslims they abided by the Quran.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

By chance we have lost the greatness and the grind here

00:08:27 --> 00:08:31

because we also have lived the Quran. So firstly, are we

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

genuinely appreciating the book? Or are we doing other people of

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

Musa not really appreciating what we have? Number two, have we lost

00:08:39 --> 00:08:43

our status? Because little closer third point, we are here in

00:08:43 --> 00:08:43

prayer.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

long prayer listening to the entire Quran being recited in this

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

month of the Quran behind this wonderful father we need to

00:08:51 --> 00:08:56

actually be Allah reward them. We spent the entire month listen to

00:08:56 --> 00:08:57

the whole Quran.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

But the pertinent question for us is

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

are we acting similar to the people who received the Torah and

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

did not carry it? Are we also like masala

00:09:11 --> 00:09:16

Mala Mia, Mia Lulu commercial Hey, Maria middle as far as are we also

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

those who do not really carry the Quran? Because we have it without

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

bothering to understand it, appreciating it, reflecting upon

00:09:25 --> 00:09:30

it and implementing the book which we have at our disposal. May Allah

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

grant the grip you have those who are Tabby Quran, the followers of

00:09:33 --> 00:09:37

the Quran, and not like those who carry it without appreciating it.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

Aquila. Haha, that was the Flula Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
