Saif Morad – Simple Tafsir, Episode 5 Sura Abasa, Even The Prophets Will Be Saying Myself

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. What's going on? Hope you

guys are doing well. Welcome to another episode

of Simple Tafsir. In this episode, we're gonna

be looking at Surat

Abasa,

which means he frowned.

Bismillah Alhamdulillah, Assalat Wasalam Ala Rasulillah.

The scholars of tafsir, they mentioned

that one day the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

he was sitting with some of the leaders

of Quraysh, the leaders of Makkah

and he was inviting them to Islam.

You know, he wanted them to accept the

message.

That way many people would follow their lead.

These were the influencers of that time. If

they accepted Islam, many people would follow suit.

And then a blind man by the name

of Abdullah ibn

Maktoum he came and he was very keen

on learning and benefiting from the Prophet Sallallahu

Alaihi Wasallam.

So he was asking the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam to teach him and he didn't realize

that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was busy.

And he kept insisting and the Prophet Sallallahu

Alaihi Wasallam frowned and turned away from him.

And this is when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

sent down this Surah

reprimanding the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and instructing

him how to behave towards the believers who

are keen on learning.

The messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam frowned

and turned away.

Because of the arrival of Abdullah ibn Maktoum

who came asking for guidance.

He was blind and had come when the

Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was busy with

the seniors of the mushrikeen

hoping that they would be guided.

Oh messenger,

what do you know? Maybe this blind man

may be purified of his sins.

Or he may take heed of the advices

he hears from you and benefit from them.

As for those who feel they have no

need to bring faith in what you have

brought due to the wealth they possess

You persevere behind them and are attentive to

them?

What blame will there be on you if

he is not purified of his sins by

not repenting to Allah?

As for the one who comes to you

running, searching for goodness,

And he fears his lord,

you are preoccupied

from him with others, the senior mushrikeen

That's not how it should be. It is

only admonition and a reminder for those who

pay attention.

So whoever wishes to remember Allah should remember

him and take heed of what is in

the Quran.

Because this Quran is in blessed scrolls with

the angels.

They are raised on a high place,

pure. No dirt or filth reaches them.

And they are in the hands of messengers

among the angels.

They are honorable in the eyes of their

lord, frequent performance of goodness

and

obedience.

The disbelieving human is cursed. How severe is

his disbelief in Allah?

What substance did Allah create him from that

he has the right to display arrogance on

earth and disbelief in him?

He created him from a small amount of

fluid

and managed his creation in stages.

Then after these stages, he made the exit

from his mother's womb easy for him.

Then after spending the amount of life decreed

for him, Allah caused death upon him and

made a grave for him wherein he remains

until he is resurrected.

Then when Allah wishes, he will resurrect him

for accounting and requital.

It is not like the believer imagines. He

thinks he has fulfilled the rights of Allah

upon him, but he has not fulfilled the

obligatory

actions Allah put upon him. So the

So the human who disbelieves that Allah should

look at the food he eats,

how did he come to acquire it?

It originates from the rain descending from the

sky with force and in abundance.

Then we split open the earth so it

springs forth with plants.

Then we make grains grow on it like

wheat, corn, and other things.

And we make fresh grapes and fodder grow

on it so it can be feed for

your livestock.

And we also make olives and date palms

grow on it.

We also make abundant gardens and trees grow

on it.

And we make fruits grow on it

together with things your livestock

grays.

For your benefit and the benefit of your

livestock.

So when the great shriek will come that

will deafen the ears,

the second blowing of the trumpet,

on that day, a person will run from

his brother.

And he will run from his parents.

And he will run from his wife and

children.

Each one of them will be in a

state where he will be preoccupied

from them due to the extreme anxiety of

that day.

The faces of the fortunate ones on that

day will be bright.

Laughing in happiness due to what Allah has

prepared for them out of his mercy.

And the faces of the wretched people will

have dust on them on that day.

Darkness will come over them.

Those described above in that state will be

the ones who combine disbelief

and transgression.

One of the things that Allah directs our

attention to in this Surah is to reflect

over what we are created from. You know,

the fact that we came from dirty liquid

and that eventually will be turned to dust.

This should make a person humble because that's

the role of the human being to be

humble

and obedient to his Lord. And Allah also

directs our attention to reflect over our food.

You know, what's the origin of our food?

Where did it come from? How do you

get to our plate? So the next time

we sit down for a meal, we should

look over this, you know, all the processes

that it went through in order to get

to our plate. And this leads us to

being grateful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That

without any effort, we have this abundance of

food in front of us and this is

a huge blessing. Another important thing in this

Surah is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala describes the

state of the people on Yawmul Qiyamah.

When the second blowing of the trumpet occurs

and the people are resurrected, the prophet salallahu

alayhi wa sallam said

that we will be resurrected

barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised.

And one of his wife said that we

will be looking at one another, we'll be

looking at each other's nakedness.

And the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that

the matter is gonna be much more severe

than that. We're not gonna have time or

even be concerned about looking at one another

because we'll be only concerned about ourselves.

And even the prophets on that day will

be seeing Nifsi Nifsi, myself, myself.

And who do we turn to when we

need something? If we need help, we turn

to the ones who are closest to us.

And it is the people that will be

asked are the ones that are gonna be

running away. The closest people to us. We

might need one good deed just to tip

the scale in our favor and we will

go to the ones that we love, the

ones who will do anything for us But

our brothers, our sisters, our parents, our children,

our spouses,

everyone will turn away and will be only

concerned about themselves.

We will only be concerned about saving ourselves.

And Allah tells us about the events of

the hereafter so that we prepare for it.

So that we utilize our time in this

life to prepare for the hereafter.

Because this is temporary and that is everlasting.

And we try to utilize our time and

put forth our best effort

so that on that day, our faces will

be radiant,

and we will be the ones who will

be enjoying

and laughing

and not the ones whose faces will be

dark, and the ones who will be doomed

forever. Until next time.
