Sajid Ahmed Umar – Moments with the Qur’an #11

			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone welcome to Episode 11 moments with the Quran
today we take another Ayah from Surah Nisa in which Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Why Allah
		

			Allah wa who be by
		

			little region in Mecca Sabu
		

			nissa you know Cebu Mecca Serbian was Allah humming fatherly in Allah hi Can I be cool Nisha in nine
EMA, Allah some kind of way to add up in this particular Ayah he forbids each gender for wishing for
that which Allah subhanahu Allah gave or made specific to the agenda. So hon Allah, then Allah
subhanho wa Taala highlights a law and that is that for the males is everything that is this and for
the females is everything that is this ownership is held by the males for that which Allah subhanho
wa Taala has given them and ownership is held by the females for that which Allah subhanho wa Taala
has given them and then Allah subhanho wa Taala guides us to a better practice. Allah says rather
		

			than wishing for what Allah has given the other agenda, ask Allah to give you from his blessings.
And then Allah reminds us to a universal law and a reality that is timeless, in the law cannot be
equally Shayna Halima, then Indeed Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah is upon all omniscient and
knowledgeable. So Allah subhanaw taala brothers and sisters in Islam, the Quran and the Sunnah. They
protect our faith, and the paradigms of our faith. But then we have our environment. And there's
this discussion between the atheists and the philosophers about nurture versus nature and are your
products of nature? Are we a product of nature, right? And the reality from an Islamic perspective
		

			is we are a product of our fitrah. Right, our natural disposition that which Allah subhanho wa Taala
created us upon but Islam does recognize that our environment, our nature, and to an extent our
nature, hat can have an impact can have an impact in terms of the Salah, the safety of our fitter,
right? Our paradigms, or the paradigms of the fitrah can become skewed because of our environment,
and to an extent because of our nature and how we interact with the external forces with our
environment, but also kind of way down and never left us alone. He sent to us prophets and he
revealed to us the Quran and we have Al Hamdulillah the timeless knowledge of the Quran and
		

			hamdulillah and the message of the messengers and the books that Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed
they guide us in our case the Quran, no doubt because the Quran abrogates all previous revelations,
and then the
		

			the sending by Allah subhana wa at the end of the final messenger Muhammad Ali Abdullah Saleh AlLahi
wa sallam and with his Advent everyone had to follow him. It wasn't enough to be followers of other
prophets, you had to be a follower of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So what Mohammed said on
level and he was sent him the Sunnah, and the Quran, we have the tools to recalibrate the fit,
right? So in this day and age brothers and sisters in Islam, so panela, where modernity, for
example, is doing its part in skewing the paradigms of our fitrah Yeah, like this definitely guide
and recalibrate I had like this teachers, that yes, everyone has rights. But don't forget how the
		

			Quran nurtures you upon responsibility to handle law, right? And the responsible thing to do is not
to focus on what other people have. Right? But other but rather but rather ask Allah to bless you
from his blessings. And remember that Allah is just and Allah subhanho wa Taala gives one gender
something that he doesn't give the other end gives the agenda, something that he doesn't give the
other based on a wisdom that is without loss of kind of where to end and we will never, ever be able
to appreciate in an instance, right, and Subhanallah so many a time we see people questioning the
wisdom of Allah subhanho wa Taala then through experience, they realize that Subhanallah if I knew
		

			then, what I know now, to handle I would have respected the law of Allah first, and not put my mind
and intellect in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala decides no doubt Allah subhanho wa Taala his
knowledge is timeless. We learn through experience and trial and error. What we must understand
brothers and sisters in Islam, that is Allah subhanahu Allah has placed responsibilities on the
males that he hasn't given the females and responsibilities on the females that he hasn't given the
males. But in terms of building our agenda, our opportunities are the same on Santa Maria level and
how she went to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that oh prophet of Allah, the males
		

			they got in the path of Allah, they defend Islam. Right. And by doing so they earn from the spoils
of war and they have the ability to gain the status of martyrdom.
		

			right and then we, when we inherit from them, we inherit half the amount that a male inherits. She
was asking she was not complaining. And Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed this verse as a member of
poverty says in his seat, I have a brothers and sisters in Islam, even though the males have the
ability to go out in the path of Allah and defend Islam in the part of Allah subhanho wa Taala the
females have a similar opportunity except that it has no fighting in it. And we learned this from
the Hadith version of the Allah.
		

			When she mentioned that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam about the males having this this
concept of defending the deen with their lives and and with with the sword. And the females Do they
have anything similar the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said they have a jihad in which there
isn't any fighting. And that is hedging Allah Subhana Allah so the rewards that the males get from
putting their lives on the line, the females get for going for hygiene have the opportunity to build
gender is the same and this should be the focus brothers and sisters in Islam, that Let us praise
Allah subhanho wa Taala for the Islam He's given us and for our belief in the timeless guidance of
		

			the Quran and the Sunnah, that stems ultimately from Allah subhanho wa Taala, whose knowledge is
timeless, who is absolutely wise and absolutely just and let us use these realities to recalibrate
our fitrah every time but modernity steps in and forces us into a corner. And Allah subhanho wa
Taala knows best it is a large topic, but our moments our food for thought is hidden until another
moment Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
