And we'll come back again to our series,
for today insha Allah, we will have
another example
of
the
prophets and the messengers that Allah
obligated them
with the prayer, with the salah.
And today,
our example will be about prophet Yunus ibnumatah,
prophet Jonah,
peace be upon him. And we will see
how Allah
obligated him in Surah
to perform a prayer, and he used to
pray
and Allah
explained
in Surat the Saffat
verse number
143.
Allah
mentioned the whole story of prophet,
Jannah
when he left his village, when he left
his people,
when he gave up and just he decide
to go
and to leave his people and to leave
the job that Allah
appointed for him.
When he left and Allah mentioned,
And, you know, he arrived the ship, but
the ship was loaded
so much, and they need to to throw
some,
stuff,
into the the sea. And, and
they did make a lottery,
and they choose prophet Juna
3 times. Each time they did not
follow, you know, the
the the command because they knew him that
he he is a a a righteous man.
He is a pious,
and they repeated 3 times in the end.
You know, they decide to threw him into
the sea. And what happened after that?
When when he jumped into the sea, Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala commanded the big fish, the
the whale
to swallow
him
up. And it's a miracle.
The whole story, it's a miracle from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You know, if Allah did
not tell us in the Quran,
you know, we will really have doubt
to to believe in a story like this.
And he
remain for
a while inside the big the stomach
of of big fish.
So how long? You know, there is different
narration.
It's not our point. Some narration said
he stay for 3 days, and some narration
said for a few hours. And other narration
said for 40 days, and this is not
our point. Our point
to emphasize
that Allah
obligated
all the messengers and the prophets before our
beloved prophet Muhammad
with the salah,
obligated them to pray and to to perform
a prayer
on time.
And this is what we have today.
You know? And Allah mentioned
If he wasn't
among
the one the the the one who glorifying
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he
will stay in the stomach of big fish
until the day of
resurrection.
SubhanAllah.
But Allah because he was,
praying,
because the meaning of Musa'bihin
means,
you know, to pray.
And he used to pray in
the easiness tie easy time before that. And
this is why prophet Muhammad
encouraged all of us
to get to know Allah
to come close to Allah
as much as we can in the time
of easiness.
Because if something happened
and become
hardship for some of us, Allah
will protect
us and Allah
will defend us.
This is what happened,
with our,
beloved prophet Junah,
peace be upon him. He used to glorify
Allah
before that. He used to pray to Allah
before that. And when we
he received the hardship time
and Allah
protected him, and Allah
helped him out. And this is why
the the the scholars explain
that
If you act as a real servant of
your Lord, and Allah
will protect
you in the time of hardship.
And this is what Allah
explained
in Surat Asafat,
and he says,
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala saved him. Allah
commanded the big fish to put him outside
of of his stomach.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
commanded
the the tree to grow, which is the
tree of,
pumpkin
or the tree of zucchini, different narration,
you know, because the the tree of zucchini,
growing so fast
and has some chemical
to take the flies away because his his
body was injured.
And if if the the flies figure out
his body, it will be a big mess
with his body. This is how Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
saved
him inside
the the stomach of big fish, and how
Allah saved him even after
the fish put him outside of his
big stomach. And this is how Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala mentioned in the other chapter.
You know, that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
And this is our glad tidings today that
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala like he
respond to,
prophet Jonah and saved him and helped him
out. And Allah
will respond back
to Al mumineen,
the true believers.
If you feel that you fear Allah,
if you feel that you are a good
believers, a a real believer to Allah,
don't worry because Allah
will save you from any
bad situation or from any
hardship time, especially
the the time that we have right now,
the,
COVID 19, the quarantine that we have, the
pandemic that we have, and we ask Allah
to
protect all of us and to help all
of us out and to make all of
us among those
who glorifying
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
