00:00:00 --> 00:00:07
			Salam aleikum. This is the Quran,
a new translation by M A. S. Abdul
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09
			Halim me
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			this begins, choose number 19.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			Those who do not fear to meet us
say,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:32
			why are the angels not sent down
to us? Or why can we not see our
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Lord,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			they are too proud of themselves
and to insolent.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			There will be no good news for the
guilty on the day they see the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			angels.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:49
			The angels will say, you cannot
cross the forbidden barrier. And
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			we shall turn to the deeds they
have done and scatter them like
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			dust.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			But the companions in the garden
will have a better home on that
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:03
			day, and a fairer place to rest.
On the Day when the sky and its
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			clouds are split apart, and the
angels set down in streams.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			On that day, true authority
belongs to the Lord have mercy.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			It will be a grievious day for the
disbelievers. On that day, the
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			evil doer will bite his own hand
and say,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			If only I had taken the same path,
as the messenger, Woe is me. If
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:32
			only I had not taken so and so as
a friend, he led me away from the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			revelation after it reached me.
Satan has always betrayed mankind.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:44
			The Messenger has said, Lord, My
People treat this Quran as
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			something to be shunned.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			But we have always appointed
adversaries from the wicked for
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			every prophet.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Your Lord is sufficient guide and
helper.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:02
			The disbelievers also say, why was
the Quran not sent down to him all
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			at once.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			We sent it in this way to
strengthen your profit to
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			strengthen your heart profit. We
gave it to you in gradual
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			revelation.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			They cannot put any argument to
you without our bringing you the
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			truth and the best explanation.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:26
			It is those driven falling on
their faces to help who will be in
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			the worst place. They are the
farthest from the right path.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			We gave Moses the book and
appointed his brother Aaron to
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
			help him. We said go both of you
to the people who have rejected
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:48
			our signs. Later, we destroyed
those people utterly. The people
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			of Noah to when they rejected
their messengers, We drowned them
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			and made them an example to all
people. We have prepared a painful
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00
			torment for the evildoers
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:08
			as we did for the people of odd
thumb mood, and all Ross and many
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			generations in between. to each of
them, we gave warnings, and each
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			of them we destroyed completely.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:20
			These disbelievers must have
passed by the town that was
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			destroyed by the terrible rain.
Did they not see it?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			Yet? They do not expect to be
raised from the dead.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			Whenever they see you profit they
ridicule you.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			Is this the one God has sent us a
messenger
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:42
			he might almost have led us astray
from our gods if we had not stood
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			so firmly by them.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			When they see the torment, they
will know who was furthest from
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			the path.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:55
			Think profit of the man who has
taken his own passion as a god.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			Are you to be his guardian?
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			Do you think that most of them
hear or understand?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			They are like cattle? No, they are
further from the path.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:15
			Do you not see how your Lord
lengthens the shade? If he had
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			willed He could have made it stand
still. We made the sun its
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:25
			indicator. But we gradually draw
it towards us little by little. It
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:30
			is He who made the night to cover
you and sleep for rest and made
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			the day like a resurrection.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:37
			It is He Who sends the winds as
heralds of good news before His
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			mercy. We send down pure water
from the sky so that we can revive
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			a dead land with it.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			And we give it as a drink to many
people, many animals and people we
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			have created.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			Many times we have repeated this
to people so that they might take
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			heed but most persist in their
disbelief if it had been our way
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			Have, we would have sent a warner
to every town. So Muhammad do not
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			give into the disbelievers strive
hard against them with this Quran.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:17
			It is he who released the two
bodies of flowing water, one sweet
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:23
			and fresh, and the other salty and
bitter and put an insurmountable
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			barrier between them.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:31
			It is He Who creates human beings
from fluid then makes them kin by
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			blood and marriage. Your Lord is
all powerful.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			Yet instead of God they worship
things that can neither benefit
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			nor harm them.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			The disbeliever has always turned
his back on his Lord.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			We sent you only to give good news
and warning. Say
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:56
			I am not asking for any reward for
it. But anyone who wishes should
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			take a Path to his Lord.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:03
			Put your trust in the living God
who never dies, and celebrate His
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			praise. He knows the sins of His
servants well enough.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:14
			It is He Who created the heavens
and earth and what is between them
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:19
			in six Days and then established
himself on the throne. He is the
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:22
			Lord of mercy. He is the best
informed
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28
			yet when they are told, bow down
before the Lord of Mercy. They say
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			what is the Lord have mercy?
Should we bow down before anything
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:39
			you command and they turn even
further away. Exalted is He Who
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:43
			put constellations in the heavens
are radiant light and an
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:48
			illuminating moon. It is He who
made the night and day follow each
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:53
			other. So anyone who wishes may be
mindful or show gratitude.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			The servants of the Lord have
mercy are those who walk humbly on
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:03
			the earth and who want aggressive
people address them reply with
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			words of peace. Those who spend
the night bowed down or standing,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:15
			worshipping their Lord, who plead
our Lord, turn us away. Turn away
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20
			from us, the suffering of how its
suffering goes on and on. It is an
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:26
			evil home a foul resting place.
There are those who are neither
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:32
			wasteful nor niggardly when they
spend, but keep to adjust balance.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:38
			Those who never invoke any other
deity beside God, nor take a life
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:43
			which God has made sacred, except
in the pursuit of justice, nor
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			commit adultery. Whoever does
these things will face the
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			penalties. Their torment will be
doubled on the Day of
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:55
			Resurrection, and they will remain
in torment disgraced, Except those
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			who repent, believe and do good
deeds.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:04
			God will change the evil deeds of
such people into good ones. He is
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			most forgiving, Most Merciful.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			People who repent and do good
deeds truly returned to God.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			The servants of The Lord of mercy
are those who do not give fall
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:23
			test false testimony and who, when
they see some civility pass by
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:28
			with dignity, who, when reminded
of their Lord signs, do not turn a
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:33
			deaf ear and a blind eye to them.
Those who pray our Lord,
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:39
			give us joy in our spouses and
offspring. Make us good examples
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:44
			to those who are aware of you. The
servants who will be rewarded with
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			the highest place in paradise for
their steadfastness.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			There they will be met with
greetings and peace. There they
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:56
			will stay a happy home and resting
place.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:03
			Prophet, say to the disbelievers
What are you to my Lord without
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			your supplication? But since you
have written off the truth, as
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			long as the inevitable will
happen,
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			this is the end of Surah number 25
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:21
			SUTA number 26 the poet's
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:30
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy, da seen
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30
			meme.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			These are the verses of the
scripture that make things clear.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			Profit
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			Are you going to worry yourself to
death because they will not
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:42
			believe
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:47
			if we had wished we could have
sent them down a sign from heaven
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			at which their next would stay out
and utter humiliation.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			Whenever they are brought a new
revelation from the Lord of Mercy.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			They turn away then deny it but
the truth
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Have what they scorned will soon
hit them.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:08
			Do they not see the Earth? And
what noble kinds of things we grow
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:08
			in it?
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			There truly is a sign in this,
though most of them do not
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14
			believe.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			Your Lord alone is the Almighty,
the Merciful.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:27
			Your Lord called to Moses, go to
those wrongdoers, the people of
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			Pharaoh, will they not take heed?
Moses said,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			My Lord, I fear they will call me
a liar. And I feel
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			and I will feel stressed and
tongue tied. So send Arun to,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			besides, they have a charge
against me, and I fear they may
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:52
			kill me. God said, no, they will
not go both of you with our signs,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:57
			we shall be with you. Listening.
Go both of you to Pharaoh and say,
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			we bring a message from the Lord
of the Worlds. Let the children of
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			Israel leave with us.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:10
			Pharaoh said, did we not bring you
up as a child among us? Did you
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			not stay with us for many years?
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:18
			And then you committed that crime
of yours? You were so ungrateful.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			Moses replied,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:27
			I was misguided when I did it. And
I fled from you and fear. Later,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:31
			my Lord gave me wisdom and made me
one of his messengers. And is
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:36
			this, that you have enslaved the
children of Israel, the favor with
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:37
			which you were approached me?
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:45
			Pharaoh asked, What is this Lord
of the world? Moses replied, He is
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:50
			Lord of the heavens and earth, and
everything between them, if you
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			would only have faith.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			Pharaoh said to those present, do
you hear what he says? Moses said,
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:03
			He is your Lord, and the Lord of
your forefathers. Pharaoh says,
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:03
			Pharaoh said,
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:10
			this messenger who has been sent
to you is truly possessed. Moses
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			continued,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:16
			Lord of the east, and west, and
everything between them, if you
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:20
			would only use your reason. But
Pharaoh said to him,
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			if you take any god other than me,
I will throw you into prison. And
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:32
			Moses asked, even if I show you
something convincing, show it then
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			said Pharaoh, if you are telling
the truth.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:41
			So Moses throat threw down his
staff, and lo and behold, it
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			became a snake for everyone to
see.
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:49
			Then he drew out his hand, and lo
and behold, it was white for the
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			onlookers to see.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			Moses said to the counselors
around him.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:59
			This man is a learn sorcerer. He
means to use his sorcery to drive
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:03
			you out of your land. What do you
suggest? They answered,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			delay him in his brother for a
while, and send messengers to all
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			the cities to bring every
accomplished sorcerers to you.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:16
			The Sorcerer's were to be
assembled at the appointed time on
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:22
			a certain day, and the people were
asked, are you all coming? We may
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			follow the sorcerers if they win.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:30
			When the sorceress came, they said
to Pharaoh, shall we be rewarded
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:35
			if we win? And he said, Yes, and
you will join my inner court.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			Moses said to them, throw down
whatever you will.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:46
			They through their ropes and
staffs saying, by Pharaoh's might,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:52
			we shall be victorious, but Moses
through his staff, and lo and
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			behold, it swallowed up their
trickery.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			And the sorcerer's fell down on
their knees, exclaiming, we
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
the Lord of Moses and Aaron.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:09
			Pharaoh said, How dare you believe
in him? Before I have given you
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:15
			permission, he must be the master
who taught you sorcery. Soon you
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:19
			will see, I will cut off your
alternate hands and feet, and then
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			crucified a lot of you.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27
			That will do us no harm they said,
For we are sure to return to our
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:32
			Lord. We hope that our Lord will
forgive us our sins, as we were
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			the first to believe.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			Then we revealed our will to
Moses.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			Leave with my servants by night
for you will be pursued.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:48
			Pharaoh sent messengers into the
city proclaiming these people are
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:54
			a puny band. They have enraged us,
and we are a large army on the
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:54
			alert.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			So it was that we made them leave
their gardens and their springs
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			their treasures in their noble
dwellings. We gave such things
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			later to the children of Israel.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:13
			Pharaoh and his people pursued
them at sunrise. And as soon as
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			the two sides came within sight of
one another, Moses, his followers
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:24
			said, We shall definitely be
caught. Moses said, No, my Lord is
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28
			with me, He will guide me. And we
revealed to Moses,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:35
			strike the sea with your staff. It
parted each side like a mighty
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:40
			mountain, and we brought the
others to that place. We saved
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:44
			Moses and all his companions, and
drowned the rest.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:50
			There truly is a sign in this,
though most of them do not believe
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:54
			your Lord alone is the Almighty,
the Merciful.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:00
			Tell them the story of Abraham.
When he asked his father and his
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:06
			people, what do you worship? They
said, We worship idols and are
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:11
			constantly in attendance on them.
He asked, do they hear you when
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			you call? Did they help or harm
you?
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:22
			They replied, No. But this is what
we saw our fathers doing. Abraham
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			said,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			those idols you have worshipped,
you and your forefathers are my
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:32
			enemies. Not so the Lord of the
Worlds who created me.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:39
			It is he who guides me, he who
gives me food and drink, he who
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			cures me when I am ill, he who
will make me die and then give me
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:49
			life again. And he who will, I
hope, forgive my faults on the Day
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:53
			of Judgment. My Lord, grant me
wisdom.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:58
			Join me with the righteous, give
me a good name among later
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:03
			generations, make me one of those
given the garden of bliss. Forgive
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			my father, for he is one of those
who have gone astray.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:11
			And do not disgrace me on the day
when all people are resurrected.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			The day when neither wealth nor
children can help,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			when the only one who will be
saved, is the one who comes before
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			God, with a heart devoted to him.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			When the garden is brought near to
the righteous, and the fire is
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			placed, in full view of the
misguided it will be said to them.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:36
			Where are those you worshipped
beside God? Can they help you now,
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:41
			or even help themselves, and then
they will all be hurled into *.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:47
			Together with those that misled
them, and all IBLEES his
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			supporters.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			There, they will say to their
gods, as they bicker among
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			themselves,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:00
			we were clearly misguided when we
made you equal with the Lord of
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:05
			the Worlds. It was the evildoers,
who led us astray. And now we have
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:11
			no intercessor and no true friend.
If only we could live our lives
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			again, we would be true believers.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			There truly is a sign in this,
though most of them do not believe
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			your Lord alone as the Almighty,
the Merciful,
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:27
			the people of Noah to call the
messengers liars, because their
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:31
			brother Noah said to them, will
you not be mindful of God?
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37
			I am a faithful messenger sent to
you. Be mindful of God and obey
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:42
			me. I asked no reward of you. For
my only reward is with the Lord of
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:43
			the Worlds.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:49
			Be mindful of God and obey me.
They answered, why should we
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:54
			believe you and the worst sort of
people follow you? He said, what
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:58
			knowledge do I have of what they
used to do? It is for my Lord
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:02
			alone to bring them to account. If
only you could see,
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:08
			I will not drive believers away. I
am here only to give people a
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:09
			clear warning.
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			So they said,
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:21
			Noah, if you do not stop this, you
will be stoned. He said, My Lord,
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			My people have rejected me. So
make a firm judgment between them,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:32
			between me and them, and save me
and my believing followers. So we
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			saved him and his followers in the
fully laid in ship
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:41
			and drown the rest. There truly is
a sign in this, though most of
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			them do not believe your Lord
alone is the Almighty, the
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			Merciful.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:52
			The people have to call the
messengers liars, their brother
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:57
			who had said to them, will you not
be mindful of God? I am a faithful
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			messenger sent to you be
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			mindful of God and obey me. I
asked him to reward a view from my
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:08
			only reward is with the Lord of
the world. How can you be so vain?
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			That you set up monuments on every
high place?
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:17
			Do you build fortresses because
you hope to be immortal? Why do
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			you act like tyrants? Whenever you
attack someone, be mindful of God
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:25
			and obey me. Be mindful of him,
who has provided you with
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:31
			everything you know, he has given
you livestock, sons, gardens
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:36
			springs, for I fear truly fear
that the torment of a grievious
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			day will overtake you. They
replied, It makes no difference to
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:45
			us whether you want us or not, for
we only do what our forefathers
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:50
			used to do, we shall not be
punished. They denounced him as a
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			liar, and so we destroyed them.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:58
			There truly is a sign in this,
though most of them do not
		
00:20:58 --> 00:20:58
			believe.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			Your Lord alone is the Almighty,
of the Merciful.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:09
			The people of Thamud to call the
messengers liars, their brother
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:15
			Sally said to them, will you not
be mindful of God? I am a faithful
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:21
			messenger to you. Be mindful of
God and obey me. I asked no reward
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25
			from you. For my only reward us
with the Lord of the Worlds.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:30
			Do you think you will be left
secure forever and what you have
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:34
			here? Gardens, springs, fields,
palm trees laden with fruit,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			carving your fine houses from the
mountains.
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:45
			Be mindful of God and obey me do
not obey those who are given to
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:49
			access and who spread corruption
in the land instead of doing what
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:54
			is right. They said, You are
bewitched. You are nothing but a
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:59
			man like us. Show us a sign if you
are telling the truth. He said
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:05
			here is a camel, she should have
her turn to drink. And so should
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:10
			you eat on a specified day. So do
not harm her or the torment of a
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			terrible day will befall you.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			But they hamstrung her.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:20
			In the morning, they had cause to
regret it. The punishment fell
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25
			upon them. There truly is a sign
in this, though most of them will
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			not believe
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:31
			your Lord alone is the Almighty,
the Merciful.
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:38
			The people have lot to call the
messengers liars. Their brother
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:44
			lot said to them, will you not be
mindful of God? I am a faithful
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:49
			messenger to you. Be mindful of
God and obey me. I asked no reward
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			from you. For my only reward is
what the Lord of the Worlds
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			must you unlike other people lust
after males, and abandon the wives
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:02
			that God has created for you. You
are exceeding all bounds.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:08
			But they replied a lot. If you do
not stop this, you will be driven
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:14
			away. So he said, I loathe what
you do. Lord, saved me and my
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:20
			family from what they are doing.
We saved him and all his family
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:23
			except for an old woman who stayed
behind.
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:28
			Then we destroy the others and
poured a reign of destruction upon
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:33
			them. How dreadful that rain was,
for those who had been forewarned.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:40
			There truly is a sign in this, the
most of them will not believe
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			your Lord alone is the Almighty,
the Merciful,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:50
			the forest dwellers to call the
messengers liars show Ayub said to
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:56
			them, will you not be mindful of
God? I am a faithful messenger to
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:02
			you. Be mindful of God and obey
me. I asked no reward of you. For
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:05
			my only reward is with the Lord of
the Worlds.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:12
			Give full measure, do not sell
other short way with correct
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17
			scales. Do not deprive people of
what is theirs. Do not spread
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:22
			corruption on earth. Be mindful of
God who created you and former
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			generations.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28
			But they replied, You are
bewitched. You are nothing but a
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:33
			man like us. In fact, we think you
are a liar. Make bits of the
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:38
			heaven fall down on us as if you
were telling the truth. He said
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:44
			My Lord knows best what you do.
They call him a liar and so the
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:49
			torment of the day of shadow came
upon them. It was a torment of a
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:54
			terrible day. There truly is a
sign in this though most of them
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			will not believe your Lord alone
is the almighty the merciful
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			Truly,
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:06
			this Quran has been sent by the
Lord of the Worlds. the
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:10
			trustworthy spirit brought it down
to your heart Prophet, so that you
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			could bring warning in a clear
Arabic tongue.
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			There, this was foretold in the
scriptures of earlier religions.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:23
			Is it not proof enough for them
that the learned men of the
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			children of Israel have recognized
it?
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			If we had sent it down to someone
who was not an Arab,
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			and he had recited it to them,
they still would not have believed
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:41
			in it. So we make it pass straight
through the hearts of the guilty,
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:46
			they will not believe in it until
they see the grievious torment,
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:50
			which will suddenly hit them when
they are not expecting it. And
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			then they will say, can we have
more time?
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:00
			How can they ask that our torment
be brought to them sooner? Think
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:05
			if we let them enjoy this life for
some years, and then the promise
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			torment came to them?
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			What good will their past
enjoyment be to them?
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:16
			Never have We destroyed a town
without sending down messengers to
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:21
			warn it. As a reminder from us, we
are never unjust.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:28
			It was not the jinn who brought
down this Quran. It is neither in
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:33
			their interests nor in their
power. Indeed, they are prevented
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:38
			from overhearing it. So Prophet,
do not invoke any God beside God,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:44
			where you will incur torment, warn
your nearest kinfolk and lower
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			your wing tenderly over the
believers who follow you.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:54
			If they disobey you say, I bear no
responsibility for your actions.
		
00:26:55 --> 00:27:00
			Put your trust in the Almighty,
the Merciful, who sees you when
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:04
			you stand up for prayer, and sees
your movements among the among the
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:09
			worshipers. He has the All
Hearing, the All Knowing,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:13
			shall I tell you who the jinn come
down to
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:20
			they come down to every lying
sinner who readily lends an ear to
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			them, and most of them are liars.
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:27
			Only those who are lost in error
follow the poets
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:33
			do you not see how they rove
aimlessly in every valley?
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			How they say what they do not do?
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:44
			Not so those poets who believe do
good deeds. Remember God often and
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:49
			defend themselves after they have
been wronged. The evildoers will
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			find out what they will return to.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:57
			This is the end of Surah number 26
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			Surah number 27.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			The ants
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:09
			in the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy, dar
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:09
			seen
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:15
			these are the verses of the Quran.
A scripture that makes things
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:20
			clearer, a guide and joyful news
for the believers who keep up the
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:24
			prayer, pay the prescribed arm
arms and believe firmly in the
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			life to come.
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			As for those who do not believe in
the life to come, we have made
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:37
			their deeds seem alluring to them.
So they wander blindly. It is they
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			who will have the worst suffering
and will be the ones to lose most
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			in the life to come.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			You profit received the Quran from
one who was all wise, all knowing.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:55
			Remember Moses said to his family,
I have seen a fire. I will bring
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:00
			you news from there or a burning
stick for you to warm yourselves.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			When he reached the fire of voice
called
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:10
			bless it as the person near this
fire and those around it. May God
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			be exalted. The Lord of the
world's
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:18
			Moses, I am God, the Mighty, the
Wise.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:24
			Throw down your staff. But when he
saw it moving like a snake he
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			turned and fled.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			Moses, do not be afraid.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:35
			The messengers need have no fear
in my presence and towards those
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:40
			who do wrong and then replace
their evil with good. I am truly
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			most forgiving and merciful.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:48
			Put your hand inside your cloak
and it will come out white but
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:48
			unharmed.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54
			These are among the nine signs
that you will show Pharaoh and his
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			people. They have really gone too
far.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00
			But when
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:04
			are enlightening signs came to
them, they said, this is clearly
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:09
			just sorcery. They denied them in
their wickedness and their pride,
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:14
			even through their souls, even
though their souls acknowledge
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:19
			them as true. See how those who
spread corruption met their end.
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:24
			And we gave knowledge to David and
Solomon. And they both said,
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:29
			praise be to God, who has favored
us over many of his believing
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:34
			servants. Solomon succeeded David.
He said,
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:39
			People, we have been taught the
speech of birds, and we have been
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			given a share of everything. This
is clearly a great favor.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:49
			Solomon's hosts of jinn, men, and
birds were marshaled in ordered
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:54
			ranks before him. And when they
came to the Valley of ants, one
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:59
			ant said, ants go into your homes
in case Solomon and his hosts
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:02
			unwittingly unwillingly
unwittingly crush you.
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:08
			Solomon smiled broadly at her
words and said, Lord, in smart
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:11
			inspire me to be thankful for the
blessings you have granted me and
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:16
			my parents, and to do good deeds
that please you. admit me by Your
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:19
			grace into the ranks of your
righteous servants.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:25
			Solomon inspected the birds and
said, Why do I not see the hoopoe?
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:27
			Is he absent?
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:33
			I will punish him severely or kill
him, unless he brings me a
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			convincing excuse for his absence.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:42
			But the hoopoe did not stay away
long. He came and said, I have
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:46
			learned something you did not
know. I come to you with from
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:48
			Sheba with firm news.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:53
			I found a woman ruling over the
people who has who has been given
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			a share of everything. She has a
Magnificent Throne.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01
			But I found that she and her
people worship the sun instead of
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:02
			God.
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:07
			Satan has made their deeds seem
alluring to them, and diverted
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:11
			them from the right path. They
cannot find the right path.
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:17
			Should they not worship God Who
brings forth what is hidden in the
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:21
			heavens and earth and knows both
what you people can see you and
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:27
			what you declare? He is God. There
is no god but Him, the Lord of the
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:28
			Mighty Throne.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:33
			Solomon said, we shall see whether
you are telling the truth or
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:37
			lying. Take this letter of mine
and deliver it to them.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			Then withdraw and see what answer
they send back.
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:48
			The Queen of Sheba said
councillors a gracious letter has
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			been delivered to me.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:53
			It is from Solomon and it says,
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:58
			In the name of God, the Lord of
Mercy, the Giver of Mercy.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:04
			Do not put yourselves above me and
come to me in submission to God.
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:11
			She said, counselors Give me your
counsel in the matter I now face.
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:18
			I only ever decide on matters in
your presence. They replied, We
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			possess great force and power and
war. But you are in command. So
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:28
			consider what orders to give us.
She said. Whenever kings go into a
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:33
			city they ruin it and humiliate
its leaders. This is what they do.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:40
			But I am going to send them a
gift. Then see what answer my
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			envoys bring back.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:48
			When our envoy came to Solomon,
Solomon said, What are you
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49
			offering me wealth?
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:55
			What God has given me is better
than what he has given you. Though
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:00
			you rejoice in this gift of yours.
Go back to your people. We shall
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:05
			certainly come upon them with
irresistible force says and drive
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			them disgraced and humbled from
their land.
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:14
			Then he said, councillors, which
of you can bring me her throne
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			before they come to me in
submission?
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:24
			A powerful and crafty Jin replied,
I will bring it to you before you
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:29
			can even rise from your place. I
am strong and trustworthy enough.
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			But one of them who had some
knowledge of the Scripture said, I
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			will bring it to you in the
twinkling of an eye.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:41
			When Solomon saw it set before
him, he said
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:46
			this is a favor from my Lord, to
test whether I am grateful or not.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:51
			If anyone is grateful, it is for
his own good.
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:56
			If anyone is ungrateful, then my
Lord is self sufficient and most
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57
			generous.
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			Then he said
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			I disguise her throne and we shall
see whether or not she recognizes
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:04
			it.
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:11
			When she arrived, she was asked is
this is your throne like this? She
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:13
			replied, It looks like it.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:19
			Solomon said, we were given
knowledge before her, and we
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:21
			devoted ourselves to God.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26
			She was prevented by what she
worshipped instead of God. For she
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			came from a disbelieving people.
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:35
			Then it was said to her, enter the
hall. But when she saw it, she
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:39
			thought it was a deep pool of
water and bared her legs.
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:45
			Solomon explained, it is just a
hall paved with glass. And she
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:51
			said, My Lord, I have wronged
myself. I devote myself with
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			Solomon to God, the Lord of the
worlds
		
00:35:55 --> 00:36:00
			and to the people of Thurmond. We
sent their brother Sally saying,
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:06
			Worship God alone, but they split
into two rival factions. Sally
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:11
			said, My people, why do you rush
to bring forward what is bad
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:16
			rather than good? Why do you not
ask forgiveness of God so that you
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:21
			may be given mercy. They said, We
see you and your followers as an
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:28
			evil omen, he replied, God will
decide on any Omen you may see you
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:32
			people are being put to the test.
There were nine men in the city,
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:38
			who spread corruption in the land,
without making amends. They said,
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:44
			swear by God, we shall attack this
man and his household in the
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:48
			night. Then say to his next of
kin, we did not witness the
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51
			destruction of his household. We
are telling the truth.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:57
			So they devise their evil plan,
but we too made a plan of which
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			they were unaware. See how their
scheming ended.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:04
			We destroyed them utterly along
with all their people.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:09
			As a result of their evil deeds,
their homes or desolate ruins
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:13
			there truly is a sign in this for
those who know
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:18
			but we save those who believed and
we're mindful of God.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:24
			We also sent light to his people
he said to them, how can you
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:29
			commit this outrage with your eyes
wide open? How can you lust after
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			men instead of women? You are
foolish people.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:37
			This is the end of June number 19.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:50
			Oh
		
00:37:57 --> 00:37:58
			hello
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:31
			well
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:41

00:38:48 --> 00:38:49

00:38:54 --> 00:38:54

00:38:58 --> 00:38:58

00:39:00 --> 00:39:02
