00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

At least I don't think so.

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

Okay, and Facebook we should be good as well. Can anybody on the

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

Instagram Live let us know if there's any sort of echo or

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

specifically but honestly, the entire community or rich community

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

that we have online. We welcome you to join us here

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

through Instagram Live and Facebook Live to have a

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

conversation with myself and other thoughts in the lead. Who is Masha

00:01:35 --> 00:01:42

Allah in Atlanta, I believe. Yes. Nice. Very cool, humble. And and

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

so so flotsam was in Atlanta visiting family and spending time

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

with them. And we're still able to kind of connect here through you

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

know, masha Allah, that was amazing kind of idea of technology

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

where we're able to go live on two platforms at one time, via this

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58

confusing, put together headphone situation that for

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

me, I'm like what?

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

Exactly, I don't really know what a telemarketer right now.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

But hamdulillah so we wanted to keep the session really nice and

00:02:12 --> 00:02:18

practical and short and sweet. And so we had together covered the

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

story of profit. And so in this other series that we're doing

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

called stories from our past. But now today, we get a really cool

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28

chance of and I noticed how the Fatima does some amazing work with

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

Calum as well going over the lessons from the story of Prophet

00:02:32 --> 00:02:36

Musa as well. And so this kind of just shows everybody that the life

00:02:36 --> 00:02:42

of Prophet Musa is incredibly in depth, it's incredibly in depth,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

there's so many things inside of this, this life, there's so many

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

lessons to extract from his life. And so today we're going to take a

00:02:48 --> 00:02:54

part of a conversation that he has, and take away the theme of

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

bravery and courage from an inshallah. So that's another

00:02:58 --> 00:03:01

thought from what we're starting with is those of you who are

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

following. And if you're on Facebook, obviously you know that

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

there's kind of like we have discrete the screenshare of the

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

verses that we're covering together already up there. But for

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

those of you who are on Instagram and you're listening more than

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

obviously, we're on verse 36, a circle plus us which is the 28th

00:03:15 --> 00:03:18

chapter of the Quran. And we're gonna go through a couple of ideas

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

that talk about a conversation that Prophet Musa has with throne.

00:03:22 --> 00:03:27

Now Previous to this, there was a really very amazing conversation

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

that Prophet Musa had with Allah. Okay, it's almost like a pregame

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

warm up to his really big, scary daunting conversation with the

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

Pharaoh. So so the Fatima what are some of the really amazing moments

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

from that conversation that we talked a little bit about with

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

Allah the Prophet Musa Salam he had, you know, honestly, this

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

portion of the story and was how they swam is probably one of my

00:03:53 --> 00:03:57

favorite parts of his life simply because imagine just having a

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

conversation with the last month and I know you guys talked about

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

that last class now unfortunately wasn't able to join at that time.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

But the ending portion of the conversation that Musa has with

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

the last Musa they swam has with the last one time is so beautiful,

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

you know after masayoshi son asked his last point though he's very

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

clear he so last month out of a help, he asked us one time to

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

grant him his brother to come with him on this journey. Then last

00:04:23 --> 00:04:28

month I tells him You know, he says that la casa manana alayka

00:04:28 --> 00:04:32

Moroccan okra last month hotels well first he says call aka OTT.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

So like I am Musa he says that we've granted you we've requested

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

you granted you what you requested, you know your DUA has

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

been answered, but then he tells me Sally, so now what I've got on

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47

my Nana, I like Mr. Lawton, Okla. Don't forget that we helped you

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

out before. Don't forget that previously. We've helped you out

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

there previously before. We've been there for you and was so

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

beautiful is that I lost 4000 takes Mousavi sound down memory

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

lane here

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

says it oh hey now in our own mica you have when we when we inspired

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

to your mother what we inspired her and the beginning of this

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

entire you know story in the beginning of us discussing

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

circuses we actually did talk about what a loss was gonna

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

inspire right

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

we did talk about what a loss panthella inspired and so then the

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

last one says I'm Nicola de vie, he fit taboo difficulty fee he

00:05:25 --> 00:05:30

felt young so the UK HE Jambu beside that we told you to put

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

your child into the chess and then placed him in the river and the

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

river will take him away and then the last one says yet hold the

00:05:37 --> 00:05:43

whole I do will be what I do will that that are our enemy will take

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

him and your enemy will take him as well as it continues to go then

00:05:47 --> 00:05:52

last month ah says well what are they gonna have better mini well

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

they chose now Allah AMI and then the last one says that Musa to

00:05:56 --> 00:06:02

Musa the exam, I showered my love upon you that he tells Musa song

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

that Listen, he's basically giving him a lot of confidence. Like

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

you're not you're not in this alone. You're we've showered our

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

love upon you. I was further saying I gave you love like I

00:06:13 --> 00:06:17

helped you out, you know I love you dearly, I would not just put

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

you in a situation where you would just kind of be stuck. And then

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

the last one ta says one of the twist. Now I like Amy last one

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

toes tells him that so that you can be raised underneath my

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

watchful eye so that you can grow up underneath my watch for it so

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

that I can be there for you and help you out like you weren't just

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

raised by a bunch of hooligans, and nobody was looking at you, you

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

know, rather

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

rather a last chance I was there for you.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

And then well, they're saying it's kind of staticky. So I don't

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

really know

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

yet we'll change up a little bit of

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

y'all let us know when to stop being started. Go ahead.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:04

So then, last month, I says is the term she ought to Kapha Taku *

00:07:04 --> 00:07:08

I do look I'm Allah maniac follow you and your sister was there and

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

she asked them like sharp point you'd have somebody to help you

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

out and we talked about all this for the job NACA you got only

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

coqueta kodra a new hire and we returned you back to your mom so

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

that she we can call her eyes when that doesn't and that she wouldn't

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

be sad. What gotta have something that JMac gummy or putter nap NACA

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

Fortuna. And what's one thing I've done tells me sorry this time and

00:07:29 --> 00:07:32

you killed a person by accident. But what did we do? We saved you

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

from that we saved you from that situation. wolferton laka Fortuna

00:07:36 --> 00:07:39

last month I recognizers and telling you sort of tell Musa

00:07:39 --> 00:07:45

Islam that we recognize that we have tested you many times? That

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

yes you have been tested in your life no your life has not been

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

easy by any means for the business in

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

Katahdin yeah Musa and then he says you are made and ready and

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

for many years for some time through magic the accordion and

00:08:01 --> 00:08:06

you came here at this precise moment all Musa was there not too

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

close enough. See and I chose you specifically for myself. I crafted

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

us specifically for myself and what Allah subhanaw taala is

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

telling us how they swam here is that this is by no means a

00:08:16 --> 00:08:21

coincidence. This is by no means a coincidence that was happening now

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

your situation you being here right now is not a coincidence by

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

any means. That rather this is exactly where you're meant to be.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

This is exactly where Allah subhanaw taala wanted you to be

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

and then Allah Tala continues on he details you know him telling

00:08:38 --> 00:08:43

metallics now he says it hub. I'm telling a hawker be it Well, I

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

tell me I see decree. He tells me sorry, Sam, you know what? You and

00:08:46 --> 00:08:51

your brother, you guys should go with my signs, take my signs there

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

and make sure you remember me. That's the first thing you're

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

scared. I know. You think this is very difficult. I know take my

00:08:58 --> 00:09:03

sons to sit down and make sure that your task is the remembrance

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

of Allah subhanaw taala and that's so beautiful because they have

00:09:06 --> 00:09:08

this huge task of bringing

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

their religion bringing the Oneness of Allah smartcar to this

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

people, especially to a pharaoh who's like the most wretched and

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

the last frontier tells him what make sure you do not forget my

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

remembrance and then I was formed process it how about you that

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

fitted on in the hotel ah, that go both of you guys go to fit all but

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

know that he's exceeded all boundaries, know that he is

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

someone who transgressed know that he is someone who crosses people's

00:09:34 --> 00:09:38

boundaries. But even though he crosses people's boundaries for

00:09:38 --> 00:09:43

coolabah who code and they you know, make sure that you both talk

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

to him in a way that is layin that is lenient, that is soft, you

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

know, do not go there. And think about Allah Samantha has.

00:09:53 --> 00:09:57

I mean, he has literally talked about all the horrible things but

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

don't have done up until this moment and now

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

In last week I was kicking Musa and Haruna from out the door and

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

what does a lot of times I tell them to do? He doesn't say go

00:10:07 --> 00:10:11

break down for those door. He says go and speak to him lay him out

00:10:11 --> 00:10:16

softly slowly speak to him with leniency I let him get to Dakota

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

Oh Yatra that perhaps he would remember our take heed of the

00:10:20 --> 00:10:25

sides Oh Yorkshire or he will show some respect or be in all of our

00:10:25 --> 00:10:30

last month our and there was one process for them to go to him and

00:10:30 --> 00:10:34

this is where we are in certain cases where they ended up coming

00:10:34 --> 00:10:39

to town and they talk they start talking to front on Carla Rapana

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

in color they say to a watchman first that we're scared and then

00:10:43 --> 00:10:47

Nana Hoffa that we're scared and a half and yet Fuka Elena that he's

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

going to harm us that he's going to try to fight us that he's going

00:10:50 --> 00:10:55

to be mean to us okay oh yet Oh, and yet ago or that he's gonna try

00:10:55 --> 00:10:59

to exceed our own boundaries. And the last one says latter half.

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

Don't be scared in many nakoma is not aware at all that I am with

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

both of you all and I see it I hear everything I hear and I see

00:11:08 --> 00:11:11

everything. And last month I was telling them you're not going in

00:11:11 --> 00:11:15

blind you're not going in alone. And then they go to fit own and

00:11:15 --> 00:11:19

they say to him to Yahoo they go to him and they say to him in

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

narrow su Arabic that we are messengers from your Lord you

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

think your God but we're messengers for your from your

00:11:25 --> 00:11:29

Lord. For understand my Bani Israel is so silly with us the

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

children Bani Israel of the tribe of Bani Israel, well that to

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

assemble them and don't try to torture them before you send them

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

to us. Because they know how fit on things because they get NACA be

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

I attend neurotic we came to you with signs from my lord was so

00:11:44 --> 00:11:48

then well I laminate cover I Hooda. And whoever follows the

00:11:48 --> 00:11:52

right path, whoever follows the right path, and that person will

00:11:52 --> 00:11:56

have peace upon them. And this is where we are now in certain

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

classes and verse number 36.

00:12:00 --> 00:12:02

And so in verse number 36 is really interesting, because it's

00:12:02 --> 00:12:06

another Phasma kind of gave us a really, really good precursor to

00:12:06 --> 00:12:09

the conversation that Musa actually had with Allah, it's

00:12:09 --> 00:12:12

almost like we were talking about, it's almost like a prep, like a

00:12:12 --> 00:12:15

like a pregame conversation that he had with God, that was

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

extremely difficult and intimidating, because he didn't

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

really want to do the task that he was told to do. Right? He had to

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

go up to their own and tell him that he was doing things that were

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

wrong. And one of the things that a lot of people forget when we're

00:12:27 --> 00:12:31

talking about this is he grew up in the house of furrow, right?

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

That's actually one of the most daunting things is that the

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

Prophet Musa alayhis salam grew up in this man's house, if this

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

person was a random human being that he had never really met

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

before, he just kind of heard of him. He heard stories about how

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

bad he wasn't how cruel he was to his people. It may have been a

00:12:48 --> 00:12:52

little bit of a difference in situation. But imagine a man that

00:12:52 --> 00:12:58

literally helped raise you. Right? You grew up in his home. Now it

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

makes the situation a little bit more interesting. And so in is 36.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

It shows here we've got a call from a great job of kind of

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

leading us to the conversation between Musa and Pharaoh. And in

00:13:10 --> 00:13:15

verse 36, he says, Allah says Allah Majah Musa, so he went to

00:13:15 --> 00:13:20

the pharaoh, okay, the IR Tina, he once had them with our signs,

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

what's your what's our signs? You know, you've been to them with

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

proof. And, you know, I don't know if anybody's you remember, but we

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

talked about this before is that the miracles the Prophet Musa

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

performed? Was that you know, Allah said, Hey, what's in your

00:13:34 --> 00:13:38

right hand? Oh Musa and Mr. Willis, my staff, he goes, throw

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

it down. And as soon as he threw it down, it became like as though

00:13:41 --> 00:13:45

it was like a live slithering snake. And he said, Yeah, Musa put

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

your hand underneath your arm and raise your arm out and you'll see

00:13:48 --> 00:13:54

a glistening light. And so he goes, the IR Tina, be nothing go

00:13:54 --> 00:13:59

up to our to to get our own with Our Clear evidences that you met

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

and means like, it's very clear, there is no sort of, you know,

00:14:02 --> 00:14:06

question that you are a prophet of God or not, or you know, there's

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

nothing like that. This go up to him with confidence. You talk to

00:14:09 --> 00:14:12

me, this should be confident enough for you. And then the you

00:14:12 --> 00:14:15

now go up to her own, someone you are worried about someone who

00:14:15 --> 00:14:19

you're sort of scared of, but you have me to back you up now, you

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

know, and that's one of the biggest things about this

00:14:21 --> 00:14:26

confrontation with with Prophet Musa and Fidel, and is that one of

00:14:26 --> 00:14:29

the things that we have very big anxiety about is our preparation.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:33

Right? One of the things that we always worry about is Man, am I

00:14:33 --> 00:14:33

prepared enough

00:14:34 --> 00:14:38

that I study enough for that test? That I prep this conversation

00:14:38 --> 00:14:42

before I go to my mom and talk to her about it? Like, is it? Am I

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

ready for this? One of the key takeaways from this, for me

00:14:46 --> 00:14:52

personally, is if you prep, you're good. You know, you gotta leave

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

the rest to Allah as long as you took care of your preparation and

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

you took care of your getting ready for the situation. Then be

00:14:59 --> 00:14:59

calm.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

To Denton and Allah says Bulama, Jah Musa, the IR Tina, the unity,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

that you have my clear proofs. You don't gotta worry about this, you

00:15:09 --> 00:15:14

practice this already. And it says here follow Maha that Illa Saharan

00:15:14 --> 00:15:19

muffs are on right that when he addressed their own throne, he

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

says, Now not have that elastic rune

00:15:22 --> 00:15:28

meaning that he said this is not accept a clear evidence of magic,

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

because because you're you're a magician, and it's something that

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

no prophets had, you know, every prophet had gone through this

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

before, right Prophet Muhammad was on them was called the magician,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

you know, profitable. I mean, to a certain extent with all the suits,

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

they're magicians, these different prophets were called these names.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:47

And this is the thing that was confronted with him as

00:15:50 --> 00:15:50

the miracle

00:15:52 --> 00:15:53

divine.

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

Talking about

00:15:58 --> 00:16:03

what are some of your deeper ways? When he approached there? I said,

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

Well, this is what Allah told me. And Pharaoh says, I had that.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

Like, what do you say? I think it's crazy, because that was that

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

metallic sound was already terrified.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:21

You know, he was terrified before he got there. And now he's there,

00:16:21 --> 00:16:25

and for almost like, you're just a magician. You know, so it's kind

00:16:25 --> 00:16:28

of like, I'm already scared to talk to you. And now you're

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

denying me in front of all of these people. But Musa sama came

00:16:32 --> 00:16:36

with something very strong. And that's he came with the backing of

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

the last one, fella. And so the thing is to that you'd like you

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

said, there's a bunch of prophets that came before, and they were

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

all accused of the same exact thing.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

So it's really incredible how

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

you just said that Pharaoh was already scared.

00:16:56 --> 00:17:00

Like he knew it, you know, like truth sometimes cannot be hidden,

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

right? When you see it in front of you, and this is very apparent,

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

right? And so in verse 37, Allah subhanaw taala he says that he's

00:17:07 --> 00:17:11

coming from Musa Allah Musa Robbie, Robbie, Allah move be

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

manager. So he says, My Lord is more knowing than you. And

00:17:16 --> 00:17:20

so he doesn't respond within or No, trust me, like, I'm right, and

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

you're wrong, and you shouldn't be scared, he goes on, I must be

00:17:23 --> 00:17:30

Allah movie manager, the Houda that ALLAH knows more than you and

00:17:30 --> 00:17:35

me, and he knows who's right and who's wrong. He goes, I don't want

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

to continue to argue I did what I was told to do, and Allah will

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

help me out here. And this is a beautiful thing apart from this

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

old prophet.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

And this bleeds confidence

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

in the metallic sound was like, I can't speak son, my brother.

00:17:52 --> 00:17:56

And now you have, like, dripping in this amount of confidence.

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

And literally, he goes, you know, Allah is more annoying than you

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

and me with cases his ultimate objective is always back to Allah.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:08

You know, sometimes when we kind of go through a confrontation with

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

somebody, or we talk to somebody, you know, we think that you know,

00:18:11 --> 00:18:15

oh, like, at the end of the day, if you're gonna kind of contradict

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

me, how does like, personal animosity between us right, like

00:18:19 --> 00:18:19

sometimes

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

even when we're never wrong, and that happens? Often I know, you

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

for sure have siblings? I have siblings? We both have parents and

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

family humbler? And sometimes when you get into these arguments with

00:18:30 --> 00:18:34

your family sometimes you know you're wrong. Yeah. But because

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

but because of that kind of idea of necessity necessity, right?

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

Like you can't back down at this point. You got to continue on it

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

kind of as this continues to argue for some reason that satiate our

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

own human ego rather than our actual objective. Right? So

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

Prophet Musa Here he goes a lot is more known than you and me I'm

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

gonna gotta I don't got his PhD at you know, whatever request that

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

you're trying to kind of get out of me. Allah told me to do what I

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

got to do and this is my objective as a prophet as my goal as a

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

prophet. Right.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:07

And then we go to verse 38. Now this is really interesting here

00:19:08 --> 00:19:15

here in verse 38. So that we get this scenario where now bear on is

00:19:15 --> 00:19:20

so in denial so scarier than tell

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

workers one of them

00:19:24 --> 00:19:29

right? And they tell he tells them he says I want you to ignite for

00:19:29 --> 00:19:34

me a fire Okay, so it says here locum min Eli.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:41

That a fire Exactly. There's there's no God. I have not known

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

you to have a god other than me. That's so he's completely

00:19:44 --> 00:19:49

delusional. I'm the one one is worship in this land. I've never

00:19:49 --> 00:19:53

heard of a dog other than me. And now he tells him who's go Yeah,

00:19:53 --> 00:19:59

man. Really? Go construct a fire, calm display and make

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

A tower

00:20:01 --> 00:20:07

and so why on earth is he asking his people to make a fire and make

00:20:07 --> 00:20:13

clay What's he trying to do here? So here he wants to build the

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

tallest building you know he wants to make it seem like he's God he

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

wants to be a high you know so your own goal is to make it seem

00:20:21 --> 00:20:25

like he's God you know and he wants to show Musa lay some that

00:20:25 --> 00:20:31

he's got but really you can build the highest of buildings that you

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

want but you will never be higher than last month which is so

00:20:35 --> 00:20:41

interesting that you know says because getting to Tahoe that we

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

were talks about last month our you know the beginning of search

00:20:44 --> 00:20:48

for Tahoe was panda is providing constellation to the box so um,

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

and last one has given the process some some type of confidence and

00:20:51 --> 00:20:55

loss ponto says that he says about himself he says mountains and now

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

Lake and Khurana Latasha Williamson the grand down upon you

00:20:58 --> 00:21:03

to cause you stress to make you depressed to break to break you in

00:21:03 --> 00:21:07

that type Kyra Turley maniac shy rather, it's a reminder for those

00:21:07 --> 00:21:11

who hold a loss Panther in our turn Zerah min min Holika the

00:21:12 --> 00:21:16

older he is, it is sent down from the One Who created the heavens,

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

the earth was semi to Allah and the high heavens, you know, like a

00:21:21 --> 00:21:26

pre refutation to fit your own who thinks that he can build the

00:21:26 --> 00:21:30

highest building and be at the top of this high building to be above

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

Mousavi farm to show moosari founder he's got well last

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

quantize letting them know that you can build buildings as high as

00:21:37 --> 00:21:42

you want. But know that last one tell Holika or the Western why to

00:21:42 --> 00:21:46

Allah that last one time I built the earth and he made the earth he

00:21:46 --> 00:21:50

created the earth was somehow why to do that and the highest of

00:21:50 --> 00:21:54

heavens, the highest skies and so I thought that was really

00:21:54 --> 00:21:58

interesting to see things come back in full circle in a

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

completely different format. And it's really interesting to hear

00:22:01 --> 00:22:05

that you know, there's a there's a tafsir done by this scholar, his

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

name was Murthy, Sheffield's Somani he wrote this tafsir called

00:22:07 --> 00:22:11

mod or on the very, very good, you know, kind of comprehensive tafsir

00:22:11 --> 00:22:15

of multiple tips are put together. And he says here that, you know,

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

his you know, it says here he reached a young man who I know

00:22:18 --> 00:22:25

Clini fed John Lee, sort of Han lonley AppFolio Isla de la isla,

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

he moves. So he goes, he tells his right hand, man, hey, man, he goes

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

build me a tower out of clay. So I may climb on top of it. And I may

00:22:33 --> 00:22:38

look at the God of Musa because I want to see him. And you know, the

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

scholars of the future, something really interesting they go, you

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

know, when your homeboy like say something really, really crazy,

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

and you know, they're crazy, but you still gotta go with it because

00:22:46 --> 00:22:50

he's your homeboy. That is how the court of Musa was acting at this

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

point. Like what kind of a human being is like, okay, you know

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

what, like, go up to the tallest tower so you can see a God, like

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

all of us are sitting here we're like, that makes literally no

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

sense. And even the people of the pharaoh knew that made no sense

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

that this isn't how delusional Pharaoh was, is that he was so in

00:23:04 --> 00:23:09

denial of Allah, that he said, he allowed his own ego to say

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

something as crazy as let's build me a tower so I can climb it. And

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

then on top of that I'm going to get to and I'm going to look at

00:23:15 --> 00:23:19

Isla ulang Musa, but I'm going to look at the God of Musa and then

00:23:19 --> 00:23:23

he says, we're in Nila. I don't know who Minal Kelvin. And he goes

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

and indeed I think he's lying. He's for sure one of those who's

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

lying um, but you know like when you look you know like one of the

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

ones that our teacher says something really beautiful he goes

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

you know when you think other people are crazy sometimes you

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

need to go look in the mirror and you'll see what crazy really is.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

Yeah, actually the crazy one like you're actually the crazy one

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

because you're calling everybody else crazy. But when you look at

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

yourself in the mirror, you're like oh man, and you see yourself

00:23:44 --> 00:23:48

on top of a tower looking at the sky trying to talk to something up

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

and eating you see yourself who really is crazy

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

Are you okay? The last just fell was just

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

like Allah knows what we're talking about this.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

Impromptu y'all. All of you are watching this is not planned at

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

all. So the five was limping off ball in plan is just happened

00:24:09 --> 00:24:10

randomly.

00:24:11 --> 00:24:15

happened. I will be moving out and just continue on. So now and now

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

from the light. And the final idea that we're going to cover today

00:24:17 --> 00:24:22

with everybody. It says here that stuck about up okay. And he was

00:24:22 --> 00:24:25

the one who was arrogant. He was the one who sort of was stuck

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

about it. He was the one who was arrogant that Pharaoh himself

00:24:29 --> 00:24:33

thought that Musa was a liar. He tried to convince himself that

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

Musa is delusional that He's a magician that he's this he's that

00:24:36 --> 00:24:40

Allah says we're stuck about okay, that you are the one that's

00:24:40 --> 00:24:45

actually arrogant. And him and his soldiers who knew who him and his

00:24:45 --> 00:24:50

soldiers are in the land without right Subhanallah without right it

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

says eating healthy.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

And and this is kind of like I don't know, it's not a fun way if

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

you have any sort of kind of thoughts about this. Um,

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

When Allah says, you know, no, you're the one that's actually

00:25:02 --> 00:25:06

arrogant was stuck about who What do you know to fill out of the

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

ladle help? Like, how do you like how do you translate that off for

00:25:08 --> 00:25:11

people, so like people kind of have like a reflective kind of

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

take away from it. What's interesting here is that first it

00:25:14 --> 00:25:20

was stuck data actually is like a verb and embedded Hawaii, right?

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

So in the embedded in it is actually for the home. But then

00:25:25 --> 00:25:25

Allah

00:25:27 --> 00:25:32

stuck about our horror, what drew the WHO that both him and his, his

00:25:33 --> 00:25:40

army are so arrogant, and they're even behaving arrogantly, Phil,

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

already be graded up, how are you so arrogant about something that's

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

not even yours? You know, how do you have pride or something that

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

doesn't even belong to you? How do you How can you claim a power over

00:25:51 --> 00:25:55

something that you don't have power over? That rather, they're

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

oppressive? You know, they're walking through the earth as

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

tyrants, and they're treating people in a way, as if their own

00:26:03 --> 00:26:06

people when they don't have any right to these people? Nor do they

00:26:06 --> 00:26:10

have any right to the land? What does he know, I know whom, Elaine

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

ally, your jungler. And they thought that they weren't going to

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

come back to our last one guy and be held accountable. And so last

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

month I in this particular part portion, by saying that, you know,

00:26:20 --> 00:26:25

we know that the biggest form of of disbelief is arrogance, that a

00:26:25 --> 00:26:28

lot of what stops people from believing. And the last one

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

thought from dedicating and devoting themselves to the last

00:26:30 --> 00:26:34

month our is their arrogance. And here you have Finn own and his

00:26:34 --> 00:26:38

entire army being so arrogant, and not only are they doing that

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

they're being you know, oppressive to the people in the land through

00:26:41 --> 00:26:45

their arrogance, when and claiming rights to a land that they have no

00:26:45 --> 00:26:49

light over. And it reminds us a lot about the climate that we live

00:26:49 --> 00:26:52

in today. You know, right now we're talking about social and

00:26:52 --> 00:26:56

justices and people being treated in ways that they're not that they

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

should not be treated, that they're being separated into

00:26:59 --> 00:27:03

factions and sets, and groups of people based off of, you know,

00:27:03 --> 00:27:08

what you can say, like skin color, and treat it in ways that are not,

00:27:08 --> 00:27:12

they should not be treated. All because people believe that they

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

own the land that was built on the back of bats are the same people

00:27:15 --> 00:27:18

that you're trying to like, kick push out, you know, the same

00:27:18 --> 00:27:22

people that you're treating badly. And so we see this type of

00:27:22 --> 00:27:26

repressive nature that keeps repeating itself in history, where

00:27:26 --> 00:27:29

people are walking through this land and treating the earth

00:27:29 --> 00:27:33

Ellsberg are created as, as if they're the ones who spent their

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

hard earned energy making it.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:39

So Han Allah, that's really

00:27:41 --> 00:27:44

malice, really thought provoking that Allah has not given you the

00:27:44 --> 00:27:48

right to do like it's a privilege in and of itself, that you are

00:27:48 --> 00:27:52

able to have an authoritative position over some people. And you

00:27:52 --> 00:27:56

abused that privilege by completely taking advantage of the

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59

people that you're in charge of. And that's one of the most

00:27:59 --> 00:28:03

oppressive things that can happen to somebody. And so the problem I

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

kind of mentioned at the end of verse 39, it says here, London,

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

new unknown ie Lena, Hola, Euro Jerome, that, you know, is the

00:28:10 --> 00:28:14

last idea, like their biggest deception, or their biggest denial

00:28:14 --> 00:28:18

was that they didn't think that it would go back to Allah, you know,

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

everything that they were doing, they were thinking that like, you

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

know, what, we're gonna do what we got to do now, and then we'll deal

00:28:22 --> 00:28:25

with whatever later, right? It's almost like that same kind of,

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

it's almost like that same mentality. As you know, the

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

brothers or Prophet Yusuf when they said, what's it gonna mean by

00:28:31 --> 00:28:34

the common Saudi Hain that like, oh, after we get rid of Prophet

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

Yusuf, like, then we'll become good people. It's like, kind of in

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

denial of the fact of time that like time will catch up to you,

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

right? How do you know that you're gonna live for another 30 years?

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

How do you know they're gonna live for another 40 years? And I think

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

most of the thoughts were mentioned with the people who are

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

so oppressive right now. Whether it comes to like the racial

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

injustice that's going on, whether it's social injustice, whether

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

it's, you know, economical injustice, whatever it is, that a

00:28:56 --> 00:28:59

lot of people are taking advantage of other people are truly in

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

denial of the lack of reality of time. Yep. Like, eventually, man,

00:29:03 --> 00:29:07

what goes around comes around, and that is the reality of the world

00:29:08 --> 00:29:13

is the most just and he will take into account every single person,

00:29:13 --> 00:29:17

Japan Allah, and so inshallah we'll stop there with our coverage

00:29:17 --> 00:29:21

of these three to four Iots and other fosmon. One last thing I

00:29:21 --> 00:29:24

want to kind of ask and maybe you can end off with this inshallah is

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

so this theme proved, provides a really interesting kind of

00:29:28 --> 00:29:34

scenario where Prophet Musa basically confronts a fear of his,

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

what would you say if it was one tip for people who have a lot of

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

anxiety, a lot of fear in addressing situations in their

00:29:41 --> 00:29:47

lives? What would you say one tip would be in order to overcome that

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

fear and kind of have the sense of courage? What would you advise

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

everybody? What do you think? I think it's important to recognize

00:29:53 --> 00:29:58

that fear is not a weakness. That is a very natural feeling that one

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

has and

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

And once you're able to acknowledge your fear, you're able

00:30:03 --> 00:30:07

to overcome it. And overcoming it doesn't mean that you're no longer

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

scared, it means that you push through, you know, Allah subhanaw

00:30:10 --> 00:30:14

taala tells me so I have a slam that he's with him. He says, in

00:30:14 --> 00:30:20

the Nima Akuma is not a word that I am with both of you all I hear,

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

and I see every single thing. And you're recognizing that you're not

00:30:23 --> 00:30:27

going into any situation blindly. The last one is

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

greater than you can bear. Yes, it's hard. Because burdens are

00:30:32 --> 00:30:37

heavy, they're heavy, by no means is a burden light they are having

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

you do feel like you're weak in the knees, you do feel like you're

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

going to give up you feel like

00:30:43 --> 00:30:47

I can't handle it. But recognizing the loss on power is there with

00:30:47 --> 00:30:51

you. And the last one power will take you through, but you have to

00:30:51 --> 00:30:54

realize that was plant hour is there and you have to actually

00:30:54 --> 00:30:58

really reach out to a lost month for your own sake. That even makes

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

dua to Allah spawn kind of reaches out to you last month out with us

00:31:01 --> 00:31:04

last month, I tell him, he says that we've granted you your

00:31:04 --> 00:31:08

request. But we're like, I got my Nana alayka my rotten oak product,

00:31:08 --> 00:31:12

but we've been taking care of you for a very long time. This is the

00:31:12 --> 00:31:15

first time you're recognizing that you're in a difficult situation.

00:31:15 --> 00:31:19

But you've been in many difficult situations, oftentimes says we're

00:31:19 --> 00:31:24

for 10 NACA for tuna. We've tested you many times before. And we've

00:31:24 --> 00:31:28

we've saw you through that test. That Musa shot was tested from the

00:31:28 --> 00:31:32

moment he was born, you know, so let's talk about I saw him through

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

his test. And he's letting him know that yes, you're scared right

00:31:35 --> 00:31:39

now. But don't let your fear be debilitating, and stop you from

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

your journey, stopping you from what you have to accomplish. There

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

are so many things that we have to accomplish in life, there are so

00:31:46 --> 00:31:49

many things that we can accomplish in life. And if we're to let our

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

fear stop us from not accomplishments, we're just gonna

00:31:52 --> 00:31:55

live with regret, should have could have what I would kill you,

00:31:56 --> 00:32:00

you know. And so being able to recognize that this is a scary

00:32:00 --> 00:32:04

situation, and the unknown is definitely scary. But knowing that

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

last month alone will help me through and I can get through it

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

is going to be hard, is no one saying life is easy. It's going to

00:32:11 --> 00:32:14

be difficult. But I know that I'm not going to go through this

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

alone. I know that God has my back. I know that was one time

00:32:17 --> 00:32:21

that will help me through that will help you to be able to walk

00:32:21 --> 00:32:26

through your fears. You may not ever overcome them, or you may but

00:32:26 --> 00:32:30

it will help you to walk through your fears upon Allah, I actually

00:32:30 --> 00:32:32

have nothing else to add because that was actually a perfect

00:32:32 --> 00:32:37

mashallah kind of ending reflection to our session today.

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

Just like welfare and everybody for joining in whether you're on

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

Facebook or Instagram, I know it was a little bit kind of like you

00:32:42 --> 00:32:46

know, staticky a little today, but this is my first time going live

00:32:46 --> 00:32:50

on two separate devices and platforms. So inshallah for sure

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

next week, we're gonna kind of tackle any of like, the setbacks

00:32:53 --> 00:32:57

that we had auditorially how many of us were, but inshallah We'll

00:32:57 --> 00:33:01

fix that 100 Allah I really benefited a lot from like today's

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

session, just kind of talking with you. Through the few of the verses

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

that we covered today. At the end of the day, one of the most

00:33:05 --> 00:33:10

special things at the end of the day, the reason why these, these

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

reflections will be so cool all the time, because these are

00:33:12 --> 00:33:15

actually the word of Allah. Yeah, like no human being can think of

00:33:15 --> 00:33:18

the stuff, you know, and this is why no matter what happens, the

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

reflections from these is will always be beautiful, because these

00:33:21 --> 00:33:25

are not human versus these are not human things. It's all from the

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

Divine speech of Allah. Someone was just talking about Karen,

00:33:27 --> 00:33:31

00:33:31 --> 00:33:35

Islam, reverting back to Islam, demographic and Sharla there's

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
