Dear brothers and sisters,
Islam. Today,
we will have a very special
chapter
in our
a new series,
the treasures of Quran.
Konusal Quran.
The chapter that we have today, it was
revealed
in very early time in Mecca.
It was revealed after chapter Al Halak, Al
Mudathir,
Al Musamil,
Al Qalam, Al Masat,
At Takwir.
And our chapter
was revealed in number 7
of the revelations.
This chapter
has number in the most half, which is
87
and the chapter contains
19
verses
and 72
words
and 291
letters.
And when we look at this chapter,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
talked in this chapter
about
3 different
categories.
The first one
from
verse 1 till verse 5
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talked about
the oneness of Allah and the glorifying Allah.
Glorify
the name of your Lord, the most high.
And after that, the second,
part of the surah talking about,
proving
the revelations,
the and
prove that the Quran
is the words of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And Allah gave glad tidings
to his beloved prophet Muhammad.
Peace be upon him. That he will memorize
Quran
and he will never forget it again unless
if Allah choose some verses
later on to be forgiven
and it will happen.
And the last
part of the surah is talking about
the
compensation
in hereafter
for good people
and the punishment
for bad people.
When we look at the first word
of this
chapter,
sabbeh. Sabbeh mean glorify,
And the word of sabih, it's a command
from Allah.
It's an order.
Do it.
Like when he said pray
or
do Zakah
or do Siyam. The same idea. Sabih.
And this is
when we look at
the different
sentence in the Quran
that Allah
mentioned
in the past sentence.
All the creation of Allah
glorified
him in the heavens and the earth.
And Allah mentioned also Yousef
You know the present sentence.
It's
right now. You said
all the creations.
And also Allah mentioned
All the creatures and the creations,
are glorifying
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but we are not
able to understand their languages.
And this is why Allah commanded our beloved
prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him.
And prophet Muhammad
practice
how to glorify Allah
and he told us how to glorify
our Lord the most high. And he told
the companions
when you go to sudood, when you prostrate
yourself, when you put your face on the
floor, say
Allahu
Akbar. You know, when you go down and
and you will mention
the the name of your Lord, the most
high, and this is the most
closest
area between you and your Lord.
When you humiliate yourself
for the sake of your Lord, Allah will
honour you. Allah will elevate
you
in his
goodness.
And this is why prophet Muhammad
taught his companions when they finish prayers,
they have to say 53
times.
And when
when we move how Allah described himself.
The one who created
and the one who
make his creation
in perfect way. Subhan Allah.
To
he mentioned in other in other verse,
that Allah created
us in very,
perfect
shape.
And we will not look at our shape
only. We have to look around us for
the whole universal.
How Allah
create
all the universals
around us.
All the trees, all the nations around
us. No one is able to compare himself
with Allah
Even
nerd or a very knowledgeable
people, but
they are not able to compare themselves
and their knowledge with our Lord Almighty Allah.
You know,
and Allah
has a plan for every single creation.
Guided.
Allah
has a plan, has the system, has the
programs
for all the creations.
And Allah guided them to figure out how
to follow the rules that Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala put for them. When we look at
the birds, subhanallah,
how they
take thousands of miles
every year
in
their migrations.
And for the fish, it's the same idea.
They
swim for long distance
to go back again to the the place
to put their
eggs and to start a new generations
for them. How about honeybees?
How long? They have a trip every single
day
to go to,
look at the flowers
and bring,
you know, the blossoms
and come back to create
the honey for mankind to enjoy
our life. And how about the trees?
You know for every single season
we will look at the trees how they
submit
to Allah's will. And the and the spring
you will see the leaves comes out of
the trees. In the fall, you will see
the leaves
just dropped from the trees, from the branches
of the trees, and all the creation
worshiping Allah. All the creation,
glorifying
Allah, glorifying the Lord,
and accept mankind,
accept us.
And this is why Allah
always
sent the messengers and the prophets to mankind.
Since our forefather Adam,
through all the prophets and the messengers,
tell our beloved prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon them.
And
Allah
mentioned
and this is other
explanation
from Allah
for us to understand.
And Allah
The word of akhraj,
you know, like
to split
the the the land, the soil, the the
earth
to let the
plants comes out of
the land.
Means the gray, the grace,
or any green on on the the earth.
It's
for
our animals
to eat.
And quickly
the plants
was
green
and become dry very quickly. And this is
an example for our life.
Allah
mentioned about
like he is able
to split the land and the earth. Let
to let
the plants comes out of the earth
and
it's a proof
for people to be resurrected
from their graves in the day of judgement.
And Allah will make it dry very make
it dry very soon.
It means that our life is temporary life.
It's not longer
like
the hereafter.
Only hereafter will be permanent
life because we will stay
in our conditions
forever.
It could be good or bad. And this
is we have to be wise and we
have to choose
which dwelling, which
condition
that we would like to have in the
day of judgement. And Allah
after that
mentioned
that he said
we will help you out to recite and
to read the Quran
and we you will not be able to
forget it except
what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will make you,
forget.
And after that, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
mentioned that the prophet Muhammad
should remind,
mankind.
Remind them because
reminder,
our reminder is good for people, for believers.
They will accept
these reminders
and they will help
them self out
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala after that he
says,
indeed
the one who will benefit himself from the
reminders
of Allah,
the the one who fears Allah
and,
the wicked.
He will not
take advantage of the reminders
came from Allah
and he will stay in hill after in
in in in * fire in here after,
and he will wish to die,
but he will not be able to die.
Means he will stay forever
in hellfire
in hereafter.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala explained
indeed you are running behind the temporary life,
the worldly life, and you forgot
to work hard for hereafter.
But,
and hereafter it's much better
than our worldly life. And it will remain
for people,
in here after.
Indeed
these reminders
and these revelations,
were revealed
in the previous
reminders, which is the previous books. The
the tablets
of Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and the
tablet of tablets of Musa,
peace be upon him. And this is the
end of the surah that Allah
was
revealed
in early time in Mecca,
ordered
prophet Muhammad
to glorify
the name of his Lord, the most high.
And don't forget
to glorify
the name of your Lord, the most high.
