The Kaaba was central to the Quraysh. But here we have Abraha coming to destroy this carrabba And the person in charge of its affairs is more concerned about his Anam about his cattle, his camels and his sheep, this was a dilemma to other Ah, but how is it that here you have the kava at stake and you are not even debating me about it. You are more concerned about the preservation of your wealth. He said, well as for the wealth than that belongs to me, that is of my concern, and my worry. But as for the Kaaba, then it has a load and that load will protect it. So Han Allah
Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Mashallah.

Dean will begin to Name of Allah subhanho wa taala. And we request praises and blessings upon Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to my brothers and sisters in Islam. The Cabal Allah Minami consol Allah, may Allah subhanho wa Taala accept our deeds. I mean Mashallah. It's so nice to see the youth in the numbers attending we Allah subhanahu it Allah bless them. My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, we continue with the biggest Surah of Tawheed Surah Al Anam. They saw that is the
biggest explanation of one verse in the Quran.
Er can Abu er can sustain the verse in Surah Al Fatiha.
The general guidelines of the surah that I highlighted for you all yesterday was seen
again today
and Allah subhanho wa taala.
At the beginning of tonight's recitation, the recitation by Imam Sahib went on to highlight to us some of the rules the legislation, the matters of halal and haram, pertaining to Al Anon
Al Anam meaning the cattle and the surah that we are, or that we completed this evening before Surah talara is named Al Anon, because cattle was considered the most prized wealth of the Quraysh. And even when Abraham was coming to destroy the Kaaba
Abdulmutallab was more concerned for his cattle. Then he was for the Kava.
And this was of amazement, to Abra, that here I am coming to destroy that which is the most prized matter to you, the Quraysh were considered elite, because they were in charge of the affairs of the Kaaba. The Kaaba brought countless people from countless lands, to Mecca. And because of people coming and settling around the Kaaba for periods of time, and with the different goods, to sell from different lands. This brought great economic growth to Makkah, the Kaaba was central to the Quraysh. But here we have Abraha coming to destroy this car. And the person in charge of its affairs is more concerned about his anatomy is more concerned about his cattle, his camels and his sheep, and so on
and so forth. And when asked about this, this was a dilemma to Abraha. But how is it that here you have the kava at stake and you are not even debating me about it, you are more concerned about the preservation of your wealth. He said, Well, as for the wealth than that belongs to me, that is of my concern, and my worry. But as for the Kaaba, then it has a load and that load will protect it. So Hannah Allah, and we all know the surah LM Tara kefir for either Rob Booker, the US have been feed what the Lord of the kava did to
the people of the elephant. So sudo Tula Anna M is named after the most prized possession of the Quraysh.
And Allah revealed at the beginning of the eighth ages, the latter end of lnM the rules of halal and haram regarding these cattle because the Quraysh transgress the boundaries, they made haram, what was *? And they made halal, what was haram? They would dedicate cattle in sacrifice for the idols and they had to for
rules and regulations, what could be consumed and what couldn't be consumed? Munzer Allah Who behind me so done that which Allah subhanho wa Taala didn't reveal. Remember yesterday we said Brothers and Sisters in Islam, that Allah subhanahu athearn Not only revealed to heat, but he revealed the system of the heat. The heat has a system. And this is why we comfortably say that Islam isn't just a way of life but and isn't just a religion, but an entire way of life because Allah revealed its system as well. And in Surah Tula Arraf, which came after Al Anam Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed Allah Allahu Allahu Allah Subhana Allah, that just as it is for Allah to create, than it is for Allah to
legislate Subhanallah that if he is the creator, then he is only worthy of legislating of telling you what is halal and what is haram. And that is why speaking about Allah's religion without knowledge and making Halal haram and haram halal, this is a transgression on the rights of to heat on the rights of the one who is one in His Lordship, and one in his worship, and one of his names and attributes. If he is ultimately the Creator, then ultimately he decides what will be and what won't be, what is and what can be and what cannot be Subhana Allah Allah will call it is for him to create. And as it is for him to create, it is only for him to legislate. And Allah is correcting all
the ills of the legislation of the land, the legislation that comes from the minds of grown men, the minds of people, those with limited foresight, Allah sets those wrongs, right. And he reveals legislation from the heavens and legislation that is based on a knowledge that is from ever and a knowledge that is forever SubhanAllah. So this is what Allah subhana wa Tada does in earnest at the beginning of the eighth Jews that we heard tonight. And then Allah subhanho wa Taala goes on just before Al are off to reveal the 10 commandments. When we were growing up in school, we heard about the 10 commandments, the 10 commandments of the testament, the final testament also has its 10
commandments. Allah subhanho wa Taala revealed it and he revealed it again to highlight that not only is the heat to heat, but it has arrived with a system and these 10 commandments are from the system of the heat. And the Quran, is Grandin is eloquent SubhanAllah. And that is why it is the unchallenged book and the timeless miracle. It was revealed in a language that the Arabs who first received it spoke and at a time when the Arabic language reached a level of eloquence that was unmatched. And then here comes the Quran, not with poetry, with life, with reality, with the truth, the truth that is physical, and the truth that is physical, and its linguistic arc is unbroken in
any capacity. It is something that no human being can match. And also it only speaks the truth. It is not a poet making up some fiction to try and fit the line of poetry with words that can be true to the poetic function that the poetry is trying to achieve. There's no fiction here, everything is the truth. And Allah reveals the 10 commandments in three sets, each set ending with Wehrli Komazawa can be he first he says rarely come wasa can be La La Quinta Archelon then he says Valley conversa can be La La Quinta karoun. When he says rarely come wasa can be La La contact contract upon Subhanallah
unmatched eloquence that hear you getting legislation which is heavy, but it comes to you in a manner that is so sweet to your ears. Your ear wants to hear it. It's like you want to say give me the next set of commands. Oh my Lord, this is so beautiful. I want to learn and I want to hear more. I can sit and listen to this for hours. This is the reality of the revelation of the Lord. It falls from the skies as the pitter patter of raindrops. The only difference is the Arab sowed the pitter patter of raindrops onto hard desert soil. But Allah was revealing it onto hot, hot desert hearts and it was giving light to those hearts as they sought the pitter patter give life to the desert
soil of Arabia around them Subhan Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals I think we've lost half a decade today are those Is he here Masha? Allah Bismillah come on the microphone Habibi if you can. We'll put him on the spot mashallah who I mean Ali Radek?

Allah subhanho wa taala. And as he ended the last two sets, this has he instructed you, that you may become righteous. So these are the 10 commandments, My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, and then Allah subhanho wa Taala closes off the surah. As he began, he began with Tawheed and he ended with to heat he began with to heat in one of the two genres of instruction of the surah remember we said the first genre was the confirmation airy genre we Allah tells you as it is. And the other genre was that which is normal normally
found during debates where a person says something and then you have a counter argument. And we said that Allah counter argues the narratives of the Kurdish when he says, Cool, and he brings about the truth in a confirmation anyway when he speaks about Him meaning ALLAH using the pronoun he when he says Hua, he began with Tawheed in the confirmation airy style, saying he meaning Allah is the One halacha somehow it will Arbor lumati When you recreated the heavens and the earth and he made the light and the darkness at the end, Allah confirms is to heat with the other genre with the coal genre. And Allah subhanho wa Taala he says to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam call in any had any Rob de la sirotkin Mustafi indeed, my Lord say to them or Muhammad, that indeed my Lord has guided me to the straight path, Dean and TMM mill letter Ibrahim Hanifa a courier

And every soul ends not blame except against itself while at 10 00 to was raw, And no bearer of a burden will bear the burden of another SubhanAllah. And this is a universal principle. And we'll speak about the universal principles just now. Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals. So may Allah be commercial for Yuna Bo comm Bhima Kuntum fi talk telephone, then to your Lord is your return and he will inform you concerning that which you have used to differ. We see Subhanallah throughout the surah what I highlighted to you yesterday that the Quran speaks the truth with reality. And that is the truth stands by itself. It doesn't matter who differs with it. We don't need to change anything
because of the difference of opinion you have regarding the truth. This is the truth and we will not make excuses for the truth. This is when Muhammad is and I will not make excuses for him. This is what he did sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I will not make excuses for him. He married Aisha Radi Allahu anha when he married her, he married her at the age that he married her and he lived with her at the age that he lived with her. That is the reality and that is the truth. I will not make excuses for him. Even if you think it's wrong, it's enough for me that Allah subhanho wa Taala knows that it's right. This is the way of Islam. It is a man of reason honor, there's no inferiority
complex here. Allah subhanho wa Taala chose for the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Quran, the final testament, the timeless miracle, and he chose for the companions of the messenger people of honor the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu humane, do you not see that they were not a people that were following him because they were inferior in the complexities? Allah Subhana Allah reveals and we had this earlier in the Torah week in the past few nights we Allah revealed about them for the Mirage met him in Allah healing tell him that it was Allah's mercy upon you O Muhammad that you are patient and gentle with them well Oh couldn't have done an evil called if you were
harsh with them in a literal way and suck them in how they would have left. These are not a people who are weak that they following you because they need something they're not from the Quraysh refer to them as the poor from society. As the weak from society Allah is revealing visa people with a very high in for inferiority complex think about this. And this reflection I'm sharing with you is from our chef chef Jaffa Idris. It's a unique reflection. He said Subhanallah we learned from this verse that the Sahaba Radi Allahu unmerge, marine, they had a very high inferiority complex, because the only people who stick with you and you harsh with them are those who have a low inferiority
complex, those who leave you and you harsh with them, they are people who stand by themselves. So the fact that they with you Muhammad, is testimony to the fact that they have a high inferiority complex, and they follow you and this book because it's the truth, and they believe it's the truth. We didn't see in them, oh servants of Allah, doing gymnastics with doing gymnastics with the truth. We don't see them doing a play on words. Rather we see them presenting the Dean with honor, with reserve, knowing that they are right, because it's a revelation from the Lord of the Worlds, the One who created everything that exists whose knowledge is from ever and his knowledge is forever, who I
am a result of my Lord, I am the creation of my Lord, who am I to think it is not a case of I think therefore I am. Yes, I think therefore I am. But I am
Because I put the revelation of God before what I think that is the reality of la ilaha illallah, Muhammad Rasool Allah, and that is the reality of Surah Tula Anam are servants of Allah and all children of Adam, before we go into Surah talara we spoke about these universal laws and they pop up in the tarawih and then sometimes I think I need to share it because just for us to there's so many of Allah he I share with you just a snippet, a drop in the ocean, but just to understand Subhanallah how the Quran is central to all our guidance, and all the sciences of Islam that we know we heard of while at 10 00 to visit okra, this is a universal principle. Allah will not hold you accountable for
the sins of another people. Yes, be brief because we are interdependent in existence. Sometimes, the downfall of a people will naturally have a consequence on other people. And that's true. That's true. But in terms of salvation in the Hereafter, Allah will not hold you accountable for the sins of another people. This is a universal principle.
And once it was said to Aisha Radi Allahu Allah, that it was understood from a narration of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that indeed, the diseased they are punished because of the crying of the relatives who are alive. And Aisha Radi Allahu Allah and her responded by saying that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was misunderstood. He didn't mean this. Have you not read the verse in the Quran? Allah tells us to withdraw Hara Have you not read the verse in the Quran that no soldier shall be punished because of the mishaps and misdemeanors of Inaba. It cannot be possible that those who are alive that transgress the boundaries, they may wail because of the passing away
of a relative and that is haram in Islam. They must Dini Domina is has no bearing on the person who passed away. Allah doesn't punish a person for the sins of another person. This is a universal principle. Also, we see at the beginning of tonight's reading Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals we're into to a thorough men fill out, you will look on civilian law, that if you were to follow the majority of the people on earth,
there's a real chance that you can go astray. We live in a day and age where we are told that the view of the majority is the heck, what the majority wants is what should be what the majority wish is what should come to be. Allah subhanho wa Taala reveals this to be false. As a universal principle, Allah reveals that it is the reality of the life of this world that the majority can be upon misguidance and if you follow the trend, and if you follow the majority, you will be Lucca answer Videla, it will take you away from the straight path, the straight path that you ask Allah subhanho wa Taala about in Al Fatiha every day illustrata Mr. Team. So this is from the universal
principles that we had today, and there's many others but insha Allah title is moving swiftly. So we will move as well because we have sort of two graphs in front of us. And so the two are off is a mountain. And I say that metaphorically, but also because of the meaning of a lot of a lot of is translated in many of the Messiah HIFF as the heights, because a lot of carries the meaning connected to it. But before we get there very quickly, the introductory matters, like it's free like an amp. It is a murky Surah it was revealed before Hijra from Mecca to Medina. But as the scholars of Syria say it is similar to Al Anam. It wasn't revealed at the beginning of the Prophetic Mission,
but much later and evidence to this is the same evidence we had in Surah Toulon am that the verses are longer. Yes, the themes are the same. The instruction is direct and candid. But the verses are longer was the verses that were revealed. Immediately after the Prophet began his message were short, and I gave you the analogy of a sculpture who is who is sculpting an ice block to try and create a piece he wants to remove what he doesn't want from the block of ice and keep what he wants from the block of ice. You don't hammer that block of ice with a big hammer, but rather with a chisel and small knocks. So at the beginning, they were the small knocks, but then later on
the discourse increased in length, and we see this in Surah talara as well. So that will arrive is from the seven long tours of the Quran. In fact, it is the seventh long surah in the Quran, and it consists of 206 verses
and
regarding its name out of then as I said it refers to the heights why does it refer to the heights?
The scholars have to see to say, an hour of imaginary letaba dimensions this who are jamberoo Earth and some say jamberoo Earth and is plural is RF and our know
Names are called the URL fanaroff In the Arabic language because our norms are so known, it's as if they hide the above the crowd, everybody can see it. That which everyone can see is known,
but are off linguistically and technically refers to just that something which is high, something which is high. And that's why he said we have a mountain to climb because mountains are high.
The scholars of the CDC are off refers to a bridge between Jana and Jana.
And we know bridges are the low or the high, the high, they take us over
a spot that is low. And this bridge is of significance, because the scholars of Tafseer say they are off this bridge will hold people between Jana and Jana, May Allah save us.
And these people will be a people who has good deeds and bad deeds.
balanced.
So yes, they had bad deeds, but they had equivalent good deeds that prevented them from going into Jannah sorry, into the hellfire. And yes, they had good deeds, but they had equivalent bad deeds
that prevented them from going into John, Allah will hold them upon the hour off upon this bridge, until Allah subhanho wa Taala decides on the plight
or servants of Allah.
This is the reality of our off and Surah to our offers many messages, not just about this reality in the Hereafter, but also the US hub of the people of this bridge. And the people of the Hellfire, and the people of Paradise, and the people of the day of PM. And they function in reality, whilst they lived on Earth, before moving into the hereafter. Their reality on Earth prior is also taught to us here for Surah two hour off consists of 14 stories 1414 stories connected to historical events, the people of the past prophets that were sent to them, their attitude towards the prophets, revelation that was given to them, their attitude towards revelation, and what Allah decreed to be there and,
and and that is real. And that is testified to
in the corpus of books of history. This is all what we find in Surah talara. It's one of those sewers that you read, thanking Allah, that you are a believer when you read it, that you are on the right side of the line between truth and falsehood. And that Insha Allah, you will be on the right side of history, when they are off are called upon. On the day of Day of me, Allah save us from being from amongst them, I mean, and that is where my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, we need to appreciate the month of Ramadan. And we need to appreciate the last 10 nights of Ramadan, we need to appreciate the first 10 days of the hijab, we need to appreciate the seasons of worship. It is the
seasons that are so fundamental in deciding whether you and I will be on the bridge or will be safely in Jannah life oh servants of Allah and our children of Adam is not about minutes and meters. Really, it's about milliseconds and millimeters.
That's how life is. That is how life is. You shoot the ball, a millimeter to the right and you hit the post and a millimeter to the left and it's a golf
a millimeter to the right and the manager loses his job and a millimeter to the left and his contract is extended for three years such is life. This is life.
How will the hereafter be Subhan Allah
when Allah placed us here
to make manifest for ourselves, whether the end of life the hereafter will be a make for us or a break for us. May Allah subhanahu wa tolerate us to be from the right side I mean you're a big island
Surah Tula have
has as its composition 14 stories. Some we heard tonight and many we will listen to tomorrow night because we still have three quarters of a juicers to cover
which will all be about soda two out of the next juice we will listen to tomorrow night is the ninth juice. Three quarters of it is dedicated to the Surah Surah TL out off and a quarter Surah tool and today's Jews that we heard half of it was Surah Al Anam and half of it was Surah Tula RF
Not only the surah two out of have stories, but it also covers like we said many of the Macan themes for it is a makan surah. So we heard and we will hear
evidence is about the Quran. And the Quran being the word of Allah Allah will establish this and he established it at the beginning. Kitab Clonezilla ILEC remember, the Imam when he started there could have redacted he started with the disjointed letters.
He started with the disjointed letters, what do we say? When we look into the Quran, there's a pattern whenever it starts with the disjointed letters immediately after Allah speaks about Revelation. And in Surah Aarav. We see this again, Allah establishes the Quran as the Quran. And we spoke about the truth standing by itself not so as a key lesson from Surah Surah Anam at the beginning of Surah, two out of Allah proves that Falletta couldn't fi NFC coverage, there should be no hemorrhaging you. That should not be there should be no negativity in you for that which Allah revealed and that which you have to preach to them. Immediately at the top of Surah to the heart of
Allah begins with this instruction three is nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, no hemorrhage, Allah revealed it don't feel Subhanallah How will I say this to the people? How will they react to this? How will I manage the situation? Yes, you can think about it from the perspective of wisdom, but not think about it from the perspective of feeling this inferiority complex. Don't have hemorrhage help from Allah subhanho wa Taala SubhanAllah. And here we see the interconnectivity and suitability between Surah to the era and Surah Tanana. Allah then teaches us here, our beginnings that every human being is from Adam, and they share one father, we heard this again in the recitation of heavy
Decker. We look at the Halacha confirm Mr. Warnock Allah tells us about the mighty Salem and the battle between Adam and a bliss. And Allah teaches us that Allah honored mankind, for he honored at the mighty Salem for us. For after creating him he commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam and his salah. And this frustration was a frustration of honor, not a frustration of worship. We should be clear, in case anyone brings to us misconceptions. It was a frustration of honor, and is Allah subhanho wa taala, who decreed it? We also seen sort of tariff highlights regarding the reality of Chopin and that she upon is our enemy, not our friend. She thought he is our enemy, not our friend,
he attacked our father and our mother. What do you think he will do with the children of our mother and our father? And Allah tells us in the Quran, in the shape on Allah Komodo, one, photography, the who are the words that indeed shape onto us and LME, so take him as an enemy. When Allah teaches us, he teaches us he reveals the reason why Adam Alayhis Salam was shifted from the heavens to the earth. This is part and parcel of Surah talara, highlighting for us the sin that did it, and teaching us the harms of the sins upon us that don't ever sin and feel that it's just a sin. No coming off of the sin is a consequence, except if Allah covers that sin for you, and blocks the
consequence from reaching you. Every sin is connected to a consequence. And the pious before us used to say that we used to know our sins, through seeing the attitude of our wives in our writing animals to us on the Day Subhanallah that sometimes our writing animal would be stubborn, our camel would be stubborn, our horse would refuse to play with us to be with us upon our instruction, and we would know Subhanallah that's what that's in that I did. And we would seek forgiveness from Allah and the situation would ease sometimes our wives would be indifferent to us, we would wake up and it will be quarreling. And we would know that Subhanallah This is a result of my sin that I did. And we
would seek forgiveness from Allah subhanahu otile. Today, how many husbands again, they point fingers, not realizing three fingers pointing back at them.
Gen Z will tell you something else. By the way. You tell Gen Z for every one finger, you point this three fingers pointing at you, you know what they tell you what you can paint like this, with all your fingers pointing out.
That's just a side note. So Allah tells us about the consequences of our sin. And it was the sin that brought our father out of heaven onto Earth. And if you want to get to that gender back to heaven, you need to ascend the ranks of righteousness, not the ranks of sin. And then Allah also teaches us to pan Allah, the words that He taught Adam and his solemn words that Allah told us about, but didn't give us the details about during the first night of taraweeh in Surah Baqarah. When Allah says He taught Adam words, can you imagine metabo ILA and Adam recited these words in Allah forgive him. Allah at the beginning of Surah talara gives us the details of benevolence and
husana are in them to fill in our
Come now Nicola nominal fascinating that oh Allah we have oppressed ourselves alumna, husana Will
Ferrell and if you don't forgive us, then I couldn't nominal, how serene we will be from the losers. Allah forgave our Father and He forgave our mother, but the consequence was done. And that consequence was to manage life on Earth after enjoying a life in the heavens. So, a lot of teaches us the establishment of the Rasul being a Rasul. Remember I showed you earlier I shared with you that the muck and themes have set ideas that are taught halal and haram was predominantly after migration. Before migration, the Quran, focus on to heat, focus on establishing the messenger as the messenger. The Quran is the Quran, that is life after death, and good manners. These are from the
Moroccan themes again, we see this in Surah ter off and you can understand this from what I'm sharing with you, Allah subhanahu Allah says, Yeah, Benny Adam, and again, this is something different in Surah talara, Allah subhanho wa Taala time and time again, he speaks with the children of Adam, to mankind as a whole, not just to the believers, to mankind as a whole, because the Quran is not just to Muhammad, it's to Muhammad and mankind at large is not just to the Quraysh but curation mankind at large. It is the book that is for everyone, for every color for every nation for every ethnic group, for every language background, yes, it was revealed in Arabic, but the Arabic is
a language, by me a virtue of the Quran being revealed in Arabic and the Quran being a universal book, the Arabic language is a universal Arabic was Allah he will Billahi what Allah He if you try, you will speak it. Do you not see how you read the Quran without understanding it? Who made your tongues loose, to be able to pronounce these letters of the Arabic language to be able to recite it was such eloquence without even understanding it,
to be able to
recite it with the tunes of some of the best reciters even though you don't understand it, leaders, Allah subhanho wa Taala for the blessings that He gave the Arabic language if you try to understand it, Allah will give you that as well. This is the reality of the Arabic language. Allah says yeah, Benny Adam, Oh, son of Adam, all mankind, even Maya Tian Nakamura, Zulu Ming come Yokozuna are they come at? This is establishing the messenger as the messenger, oh Children of Adam, if they come to you, messengers from amongst you, people from you. You grew up with them, you ate with them, you played with them, you chatted with them. You traveled with them, you traded with them, people from
you came to you. Their lineage was known their character was known. Their manners were known. These are not strangers. Allah says if they come to you, messengers from you, relating to you my verses establishing the Quran as the Quran, then Whoever fears Allah and reforms, there will be no fear concerning them, nor will the grief when when the angel of death comes to get them. It won't be no fear for them. And they won't grieve. When the angel of death comes to them, he will come to them with angels from Jen and his instructions from Allah will be clear that the death should be swift and precise. It should be painless and immediately the soul should be given to the angels from
Ghana. This is for those who believe and listen to the word of the messenger. Allah reveals us in Surah, Allah reveals about tianma, a theme from the themes of Maccha Tiama being real, and that we all will be brought there, as Allah says, Come by there eQuilter will do as you were brought out of nothing into something, you will be brought back to Allah subhanho wa taala, establishing life after death, then also the historical events and the importance of taking heat from how Allah dealt with sinners in previous arrogance, and what will make you understand or servant of Allah,
the hum of arrogance. Finally, Allah subhanho wa Taala discusses falsehood, and the falsehood of idol worship. And in honor of Allah takes us through many angles and avenues connected to all these themes that I've shared. One standout point from the recitation today was how Allah subhanho wa Taala showed us that sins are also a pawn a level of gradation, that sins are bad, but some are worse than others.
Sins are bad, but some are worse than others. And Allah takes us through the stages.
And what was interesting was that Subhan Allah, if you ponder over Surah telera Have you actually see that there's a sin greater than idol worship
Subhanallah there's a sin greater than idol worship.
Read first the verse, half a decade.
What intercooler what intercooler Allah He may lead to animal just above that.
go above and
that one to hold water Allah He my letter
will tell Oh to our Allah He made a mistake before that we would invest now
all in one out of me Alpha ha ha ha Amin both are similar to what we had yesterday that Allah subhanho wa Taala has made haram immorality that which is apparent and that which is concealed holy morality is haram well is Neville web lady will help and sinning and belly this kind of transgression. berate will help without right now we're to Chico
Okay, so now we got we're going up the ladder, Allah made haram for Allah Hush. Allah made haram immorality, Allah made haram transgression. Then he goes up the ladder He says 123 Kobe law higher than that is idol worship, and associating partners with Allah Nam bill, Hema Adam Nunez je will be here soon on.
Taco while Allah Hema Allah, higher than this is to say about Allah, that which Allah did not say that which Allah did not reveal.
You see, if you worship an idol, that is between you and yourself. But if you start calling people to it.
Now it's a matter that's transcended the boundary of you and yourself. Not only are you misguided, but you are a promoter of misguidance.
And that is why even the scholars of the past and the scholars of Hadith, they will differentiate between an innovator and a person who calls to the innovation.
They will differentiate between the two.
And this is an
understanding of the religion when you ponder over the Quran, Allah subhanho wa Taala separated between these levels. So this was something Subhanallah that stood out from the recitation today to say about Allah, that which he didn't review is worse than idol worship, because not only are you astray, you are working against the work of Gambia, Allah He was salat wa salam they came to bring the masses into guidance you are taking the masses into misguidance. May Allah protect us from ever speaking about him?
In falsehood, remember we said Hola Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. As the Imam read today, it is only for Allah to create, so it's only for him to legislate. Now, so here are some of the ins and outs. Now inshallah we'll end here and we'll take more tomorrow but before we we go off, I try and share with you standout themes. Surah Al Imran is the commerce steadfastness surah. Nisa being vulnerable, looking after the rights of the weak and those who are susceptible to being oppressed and punished. We said Surah Tula learn to heed right
Surah to our off, yes, it's full of Tawheed. But if you listen to the verses carefully, it comes across as having this theme,
which I can't say in one word, but I will say it in a phrase, you know, now act, and don't doubt
this is Subhanallah the thing that you get from it, you know, now act, and don't doubt, do what you have to do. And don't doubt along your way, you will hear voices, you will hear whispers You will hear snippets, you will hear screams whatever happens, don't doubt and this is fundamental idea Brothers and Sisters in Islam. Because if you don't doubt, you can use your brain to do a lot of things. If your brain is busy doubting things that are from the muscle limit. Things that do not need your thoughts.
If you are busy thinking of things that do not need your thoughts, you are too busy to think about things that require your thoughts.
And today and I say this to our Shabaab, our boys and girls and brothers and sisters, we live at a time Subhanallah where people doubt everything, even their own gender,
even their own gender.
If this is where the minds are, what opportunity do the believers have to take the reins back?
Because whilst other people's minds are busy doubting that which shouldn't be doubted, you have the brain power, the brain wave the brain space, the neurons
to deal with the real matters, to innovate, to invent,
to come up with the biggest technology, the biggest medical enhancements, the biggest matters that will plug
of the gaps in terms of the needs of the ummah.
Islam wants to see this from its own man.
And I'm sharing this with the youth in the different countries and cities that he quote, that you got to think big. If you becoming a scientist don't just think of being a scientist, as per the norm of the minds around you start thinking bigger, go think about how to take seawater and converted with little means into water that can be drunk, do we not see that we have our brothers and sisters who are having their water cut off even and they have a seat next to them, but it's salty water harmful for them to drink. This is where the mind of the humor should be thought of now, because we have brain space to realize this was other people's brain space is being used to figure out that
which has already been figured out. Does this make sense?
This is the guidance of Sora
you know, now act and don't doubt
it's as if the collective surah is saying to us Oh servant of Allah. You heard since the beginning of Ramadan, the Macan verses
and at the end of Ramadan, last year, you heard the shortened McCann verses. You have heard the messenger sallallahu alayhi wasallam. You attend the hospice, you've read Hadith, the truth is in front of you. The truth is clear as the clarity of the sun on a clear day. All that's there for you is to submit and be stationed. be stationed, submit and be stationed at the station mean be immovable, be unbreakable, be unshakable.
Do not suffer an inferiority complex with the hawk and the truth and the guidance of the Quran and your Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Surah Tula have spells this out to us. It's telling us that we taught you the Quran, the verses are saying that we have taught you where you came from. And we've taught you where you going. Now stop time wasting. Stop wasting time by doubting the clear. And use that time to learn from Revelation especially the Madani revelation that which has the rules of halal and haram. There is much Halal that you are not doing that you need to do and there's much haram that you're doing that you need to leave. You're not helping yourself. Oh child of Adam.
All that's left for you. You already know where you came from. You already know where you're going. All that's left for us to learn how to get to your destination successfully.
Focus on bet this is if I could paraphrase. If so little out of good speak to us. If it could stand on this microphone at this podium today. And speak to us. This is what I feel from the verses that we had. The Surah will teach us we Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the understanding. I mean, you're a blind me. Before we entered my Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, allow me to leave you on a cliffhanger. Surah talara of teaches us as well. The obstacle remember I said out of is a mountain we have to climb and obstacles are mountains in front of us. Let me collect the end to my beginning. This is from the guidance of the Quran it connects its beginning to the end. Let me try even though
it's in a deficient way. We said that we have a mountain to climb with Surah talara and whenever we have an obstacle we always say it's a mountain that we need to climb
Surah to our off lists for us. The obstacles, the obstacles that block us from living upon our realization that the Quran is the ultimate guide.
So that the RF spells for us these obstacles, I'm going to leave you on the cliffhanger tomorrow when you come I'm going to share with you nine obstacles taught to us by Surah RF that prevent us from being upon the hack. And if you be good, then I will share with you nine because I read the surah in the most part of it to capture this today because I am leaving tomorrow. Tomorrow meaning tomorrow will be my last night in sha Allah if Allah makes it easy. Not only will I share with you nine obstacles, but I will share to you nine antidotes. Not only will I share with you nine diseases, but nine prescriptions as well. Nine antibiotic antibiotics we have doctors here we'll be
late Anna so I will share with you nine of the obstacles and sign for you nine prescriptions insha Allah but that is tomorrow with the later Allah. I love you all for the sake of Allah everything corrected is from Allah alone, and he's perfect in any mistakes or for myself and che upon and I asked Allah subhanho wa Taala for giving us how the whole the whole animal SallAllahu wasallam all about a Canon venum hamadryad and he was a big marine
