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

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

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