Sajid Ahmed Umar – Moments with the Qur’an #22

			Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh My dear brothers and sisters in Islam welcome to episode
number 22 moments with the Quran today's episode and moment comes from Surah Taha. And in
particular, when Allah subhanho wa Taala spoke to Musa alayhis salam for the very first time without
any intermediary, he speaks directly to Musa alayhis salam. And Musa alayhis salam has this
conversation for the very first time in his life. And this was at a point when he leaves madeon and
is with his family. And it gets to a point in the day during the journey where he needs some fire,
he needs to create a fire so he puts his family at a safe place and he goes out in search of that
		

			which he can use to create this fire for the sake of light and warmth and so on and so forth. And as
he goes out, he has this voice call out to Him in ni n AR buka La, la can
		

			be lonely, low ideal mocha Desi.
		

			Han Allah, he has this voice call out to Him, commanding him to remove his slippers he sandals,
because he's standing in the sacred valley of Buddha. So Han Allah. So this was the very first
moment in the journey of Musashi ceram engage in conversation with his Lord as a prophet of Allah
subhanho wa Taala. And the very first instruction he received was to remove his slippers, or his
sandals. Now brothers and sisters in Islam, no doubt he acted on this command immediately. Okay. Now
this the discussions pertaining to this, this whole concept of wearing slippers, not wearing
slippers. And some of the scholars have said that
		

			we learn from the start whenever you go to a place that is sanctified, or you meet, you're going to
meet someone of a noble
		

			stature or status, then it's recommended that you remove your shoes, but other scholars said then in
this case, this would be only you know, during the time of Musa alayhis salam and after that the law
would have changed. Why? Because all the scholars agree that Massoud Haram in Mecca is more
sanctified. Then the value of thought when Musa was told to take off issues, but we know that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he entered the masjid on his camel and the feet of camel.
		

			You know his file is cleaner than the feet of human beings or even the sandals of human beings and
also, as Imam Ahmed reports, as we learn from the hadith of Abu huraira LaWanda the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stood by the macom of Ibrahim whilst he had his sandals on, and in fact,
he mentions in his book about America
		

			as he discusses stories related to Makkah, he mentions that Zubair used to do tawaf with his
slippers on. So we would say that it is a case that you're supposed to take off your shoes when you
meet important people or go to sanctified places that we say this was the rule with regards to Musa
alayhis salam at his time and that rule would have changed based on what the prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam did himself. Now some have said that Musa alayhis salam sandals were made out of
		

			out of the leather or out of
		

			skin from a dead animal, right. So this is why he was told to remove his shoes as we find in a
report in a to me the attributed to
		

			even Massoud robiola one and report of this particular status and nature would have come from the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. However, this narration does not have the authoritative nature
to be attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam in a way that we can say that this is
something true so this narration is weak. Some scholars have said that he was asked to remove his
shoes because of of the nature of the event we our last panel who Allah spoke to him directly now no
doubt that Allah subhanho wa Taala spoke to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam directly as well.
But this was when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was raised during the Mirage to the
		

			heavens as we discussed in previous episodes, with regards to Musa alayhis salaam, it was extremely
unique because Allah spoke to him directly was Musa alayhis salam was on earth. And some scholars
have said that he was asked to remove his slippers because he had some dead on it. Or it's plausible
that this would have been the reason just like how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam removed
his slippers when he was praying as we find in the hadith of Abu Saeed and Audrey robiola. And if my
memory serves me, right, as we find reported by Mohammed and others, that the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam was praying, and then during the prayer, he removed his slippers and he put it on
		

			his left so the Sahaba the Allahu anhu madman, they to remove their slippers and after the Salah,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked the Mohammed Akuma Allah
		

			Allah ilica in alikum that what has caused you to remove your slippers? And they said that we saw
you do it so we did it so hon Allah so he said, No, I did it because once I
		

			Spring gibril came to me and said there was impurities on my slippers. So I removed it. So some of
the scholars have said that it's plausible that Moosa was asked to do this, because it's a similar
circumstance he had some impurity on on his slippers, and no doubt we know that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam prayed Salah with his slippers sometimes and sometimes he prayed Salah
without his slippers or sandals as we find in the hadith of Amma urban shape. And RB he and Jacques
de amor says that his grandfather saw the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, praying, Salah haffi
and when Medina ala he was praying barefoot at times, and at times with his sandals. So this would
		

			be a plausible explanation that Moosa was only asked to remove his slippers because there might have
been some impurity on it because obviously when you bring Salah you in the masjid and it is a
sanctified place, and as we said, all the scholars agree that must be Haram is more sanctified than
the value of Torah. In any case, brothers and sisters in Islam, this is a slight tangent, just for
our general knowledge, but the point here is to panela the concept of empty head, the concept of
submitting to the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala doing what you told immediately as we see Musa do,
as we see the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam doing in Salah when jabril came down and informed
		

			him and then Subhan Allah the Sahaba so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam do it, and and the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the guide and he is our guide. So immediately without any
questions in their Salah, they saw him do it. So they followed because they knew that the Sunnah is
the the ark of knew in their time, and we considered the ark of law in our time, as well, that
whoever is upon the Sunnah, quote, unquote, in the ark, they will be safe from any misguidance of
heinola. So they followed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that even before he spoke to them,
they watched what he did, and they followed it. This is a concept of submission, because they knew
		

			if he's doing it, then this is something that Allah subhanho wa Taala has told him to do so summit
in our Atlanta, we obey, and we are we hear and we obey La ilaha illa Allah, so brothers and sisters
in Islam, Islam is all about submission. And this is, you know, the most prominent meaning of Islam
we always hear this concept of Islam means peace, yes, from the meanings of Islam is peace but more
prominently. Islam refers to submission, submitting to the will of Allah subhanho wa Taala in the
moment that you are in that whatever moment you enter, whichever moment you are in, you ask
yourself, What does Allah subhanho wa Taala want me to do right now? Or what I'm doing right now is
		

			this beloved to Allah? If it is, I'll do it. If it isn't, I will stop. This is submission and this
is Islam. My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, I love you all for the sake of Allah until another
moment, may Allah make us true submitters. I mean, Europa alameen Assalamu alaykum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh
