Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi as mine, or prayers due to a loss of Hannah to Allah and peace be upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or testify that there is no god except alone at least for the Mohammed is the problem the Messenger of Allah brothers and sisters are thank Allah subhana wa tada always, for every single moment that Allah gives us and every single opportunity that lots of handled Allah grants us to get together for the sake to learn more about loss of Hannah to Allah, the religion of Allah, the prophets and the messengers of Allah. And we'll be talking about the stories of the
prophets and messengers, and we'll be talking about the most comprehensive story in Napoleonic idiom and the most detailed story Napoleonic game, which is the story of Musa alayhis salam, the most mentioned proper messenger in the Quranic game. And tonight is the eighth lesson that we talked about Musa and you know, we haven't finished yet. So there's two more lessons to go before we finish the story of Musa alayhis salam. masala is Salam Islam as mentioned prophet messenger in the Quran, Karim. More mentioned than any of the Prophet messenger who said the loss of panatela mentioned 25 prophets and messengers in the Quran again, but Allah subhanaw taala sent over 124,000 profit
messenger the Prophet Mohammed saucer makes mention of the in the Hadith but 25 elements in the Quran Academy. We spoke about the second phase of the prophecy of masala Salaam which is Muslim Bani Israel. And that's after Allah subhanaw taala says masala salam wa ala from for our and the army of around. We all know that Venezuela were oppressed and persecuted under the reign of Iran and his people Allah subhanaw taala destroyed for the iron and aluminum anodized destroyed the entire army of around and Allah subhanaw taala saved many Israel after the cross the sea in which Allah subhanho wa Taala paved the way for them right in the middle of the sea a dry land they walked over to the
other side. And we heard what they did after they cross the sea run thinking Allah subhana wa tada they saw a tribe worship and either they said or Moosa, why don't we make an order for us to worship somehow Allah, Allah saved you and Allah, Allah subhanaw taala made you see miracles are in the eyes now you want to replace the laws of adelantado with an idol. And then we spoke about how Allah subhana wa tada commanded and ordered masala Salaam to come to him for 30 days in seclusion and Masada is left behind her on taking care of the affairs of many israa in but then because of a mistake that Masada Salam did, he had to stay 10 extra days to make up for the mistake they did. So
from 30 days became 40 days, Benny is sort of waiting for Musa alayhis salam during that moment they tend on Harun Allah is Allah and they start to worship a golden cup that later on when Musa returned he returned to the tablets from Allah subhanho wa Taala and the commandments of Allah azza wa jal. I'm fast forwarding what was breaking about last week. He returned to the tablets from Allah subhanho wa Taala what are the tablets
a block of rock well Allahu Allah block of rocks that Allah subhana wa Taala had written His commands in it's more than one it's not just one some narrations say to summarize and say three or four Allah subhanaw taala refers to them in the Quran, Karim Allah tablets with the commands of Allah subhana wa tada or the commandments of Allied xojo written on them. And some of the scholars say the 10 commandments, the laws of anotehr revealed to Masada Islam is the actual Torah, the Old Testament and that were written on tablets.
And then after Masada is Salam had reprimanded Bani Israel for them worshipping this golden calf, he cast the golden calf in sea and He punished the person that was behind them. Allah subhanaw taala punished him his name was samity. Fast forwarding when Masada Salam returned back to Benny is trying to return back with the tablets and the commandments from Allah subhanho wa Taala, which is also the Torah he said take what Allah subhanaw taala commanded you. So what is meant for him respond back to Masada is Salam after Allah subhana wa Taala China miracles with an O is not 123 more than 10 miracles. They saw the N eyes they experienced with the N eyes. They told Masada is no No, no, no,
we're not gonna take these commandments from Allah lightly. We need to look into him. Even if you're a prophet, messenger, we need to look into those commandments. What does Allah want from us what he doesn't want from us, whatever we agree to, we're gonna follow whatever we don't agree with to we're not gonna follow Allahu Akbar.
Allah subhana wa tada had saved you and after
all those miracles, you are refusing Allah subhanaw taala commands. So Moses says Allah tells you to tell you those commandments by force, you don't have the option for you to negotiate, does not compromise on him. The same No, no, no, no, no. Give it to us, who study them. Wherever we'll agree to who will adhere to whatever we don't agree
We're not gonna lie to you. So Allah subhanho wa Taala gripped a mountain the mountain of tour and made that mountain fly above their heads. And the mountain was right above their heads, like a cloud and the mountain spoke to them and said to them, whoa, no matter
what guru my feet take what Allah subhanho wa Taala had commanded.
And act upon that when they prostrate and said, Now we take it.
Now, we take it, we stopped at the austere remember what happened after them?
Allah subhana wa tada wanted to honor some members from benissa in when we say the children of Israel, referring to a race, who are Israelis, but what's their religion, Islam so the Muslim Israelis like a Muslim, Arab, Indian Arab, though also Israeli Muslims.
Allah subhanaw taala wanted to honor some members from Venezuela in
remember what I mentioned while masala is Salah, was in that seclusion for 30 days then extended to 40 days. They start to worship the golden calf.
All Benny is in we're talking about 600,000 people in that nation, all of them worship the golden calf except 70.
Of that repentance we mentioned that last week for those that worship that come from Allah subhanaw taala to forgive them that repent. Ronna you as a member of the nation of the problem amor de la la la la Santa Monica me I seen you want to repent between you and Allah tonight. Allah subhanaw taala will accept your opinions that alone will forgive you if you are genuine and sincere in your repentance. But as I punishment dependent in that worship, that calf doesn't worship the golden calf, if they wanted to repent from that major sin and mistake that to repent to Allah azza wa jal by killing themselves. And Allah subhanaw taala mentions that Kareem for to boo
boo boo SATCOM
kill yourself if you want to forgive me, so some members from benissa indeed so but then Allah subhana wa tada says
prosomnus Allah if you find themselves eager and keen to stay alive, some numbers from Benny Israel in order to repent our lives or just killed themselves that were genuine repentance ALLAH forgive them and Allah Subhana Allah will deal with them
out of the entire nation of Bani Israel in they all worship the cuff
which means they do not have
the one against the loss of orders except 70 men from Benny Israel who did not worship that calf but with a big boy with a big holiday.
Yes has been a waste of the car but that was sitting on the fence when it came to masala Islam there were also 100% of the Mossad a Salah so they didn't worship the calf. They had done that calf but at the same time it's not like that was so loyal to masala Sam said no no no we're gonna stick to a proper messenger masala is Salaam trimarans.
We mentioned also the story about how Masai Salaam reprimanded his brother Harun and grabbed him from Iran and dragged him by his beat and then he said why embarrassing in front of other people? I tried to do what I can do, but they wanted to kill me. So Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted to honor some members from Benny slightly the 70 men who did not wish him that golden calf but at the same time that was sitting on the fence. So Allah subhanaw taala commanded Masai Salaam to bring their seven men and let them he Allah subhanaw taala speak to Moosa What an honor
Allah Allah to honor them.
And the honor the loss of Hannah to honor the 70 men who we consider to be the best but the best of the worse
but they weren't good. They were the best of the worse.
It's not like that the wish of the cup as a form of loyalty and obedience to
the devil worship the calf but at the same time, the one that loyal to Musa masala so now we're talking about the best 70 out of Benny's line, the absolute best 70 out of the entire nation of islam. Allah Subhana what I don't want to talk to them.
Allah makes mention na Khurana Karim Ouattara Moosa
Toma who Sabrina Raja LAN Lamia, Katarina, masala, Salama chosen 70 men from his nation to come and listen to us listen to her to Allah subhanaw taala speaking to masa we all know Allah says in the Quran Karima kandalama moussaka llama la masataka Lima Allah had spoken to masa regularly
Moses a prophet and messenger of Allah subhanaw taala speak to you regularly.
So now Masada is Salam takes the 70 men who are the best of people for many Israel in and gets to the mountain have we spoken to Allah subhana wa tada before and that's where he was in seclusion for 30 days and then extended to 40 days.
samosa is salam o 70. Men from Bani Israel in get together in the mountain of tour.
And then mozzarella Salaam takes a few steps forward, while the seven men are behind him. And then a big dark, Claire comes and covers them, oh, no one can see anyone.
And then the amazing miracle takes place.
And the 70 men are listening without addressing Moosa
Cena and my buddy shivering. Allah Subhana Allah subhana wa tada speaking to Moosa, how does Allah speak in what form in a way that suits him subhanho wa Taala. But Allah subhanaw taala spoke to mozzarella, Salah Moses back back to Allah subhanho wa Taala and the 70 men who are surrounded by dark clouds and they can't see anyone listening to Allah speaking to Musa
asking about Allah.
If you will, one of the 70 men
a new masala is Salam. And he's a proper messenger of Allah is not playing around and you're honored like the seven men to be in that presence of listening to Allah subhanaw taala you put yourself in that position what would you be a law of luck well
unless
you're a man will boost
this will strengthen me man and empower you with a man.
I'm listening to Allah addressing our Prophet, a messenger.
You know, after a loss of Allah speaking to Muslim that 70 men are considered to be
the best of people from Venezuela. He was speaking to Moosa and they listened to a loss of Harry Potter speaking to Moses and Allah subhanho wa Taala covered them with clouds and then Allah cleared the clouds. You know, the seven minute weather turned around, told Musa you're playing games with us. If that's really Allah speaking to you, let us see him.
Allahu Akbar.
If that's true,
if that's really the Allah, you're the one that we just heard speaking to you is your Lord, you're right. Then what doesn't he just show Himself to us? You know happened? Allah subhana wa Taala sent upon them, a thunder that destroyed them all and killed them all. 70 men from the best of men have been killed the ones
Subhan Allah Allah
and Allah subhanaw taala gave you this honor and privilege for you to accompany masala a Salaam and to listen to Allah speaking to Moosa rather than you been on your knees prostrating to Allah subhanho wa Taala and appreciating this honor. Now you duck Moosa and either allow anyone to expose himself to you and you want to show Himself to you. So Allah subhanaw taala out of his anger, Allah destroyed them all.
Imagine seven of them collapsed. The laws were taken.
You know, for masala Islam.
Allah says when the thunder came upon the top of
the grounds beneath them on a loss and a thunder on them that destroyed them all. 70 of them 70 men.
They were all killed at once.
Moosa turns around,
sees the best of 70 of the men of Venezuela in the best 70 men of Venezuela in all dead.
He said collar up below shit, like Tom and kubla Yala. It's up to you.
It's your decree. You want to destroy them or destroy me by Arab oil left to 70 men from Venezuela considered to be the best and the most righteous seven minute bunnies right now returned back with no one what am I gonna talk about is the best people amongst you. I love destroying them all at once.
What's penninsula is gonna say that because the more righteous you become, the more obedient to Allah Allah subhanho wa Taala will punish you. That's the perception they're gonna have.
You could imagine he stands he could imagine his position looking around Europe, or 70 men from Venezuela the best 70 men
When is the best of the best and the most religious people know
that the best people amongst you Allah destroyed them.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala listen to what happened. Allah subhanho wa Taala revive them all
the dead, dead corpses, dead bodies, all over my dead. Allah subhanho wa Taala revived them back and Allah subhanaw taala brought back to life. Some of us now come in body multicam and the old loss of
life, not all at once, Allah subhanaw taala revived one. So this one that came back alive to see the one that's dead, to be revived. So it doesn't say well, what happened? So Allah subhanaw taala did not revive them all at once Allah subhanaw taala revived them one by one, so they could see each other dead, coming back alive to witness how Allah subhanaw taala brought the death back or the dead back of life.
The thing they learned
Imagine you have experienced this and then Allah will you back to life. You know what I'll do?
I'll be in that corner just switching from Allah.
This paper Allah subhanho wa Taala make them he him and then Allah subhana wa tada to their lives and souls away then the lives of life. The thing that these people adid The thing is people surrendered. The thing these people submitted, they became even worse.
By the multicam, who brought you back alive after you were dead, seven of them. Allah subhanaw taala struck him and took the locks away. And then seven of them Allah subhanaw taala brought him back to life
for that matter, Rama, Rama Raja
when Allah subhanaw taala took the souls and Allah subhanaw taala killed them all. He said, Allah if you wanted, you could destroy them and destroy me with them. It's up to you to lacuna Bhima for Allah subhanho wa Taala he destroys because of the deeds of the evil people in here in Panama so
it's up to you it's your decree it's your aura whatever you want but Allah what I'm gonna get into
that the best play for amongst you Allah destroyed them. The alternate me
in here 11th Nautica to little bit her mentorship DB Harmon Tisha and
our ham no and the huddle often and your Lord forgive us and have mercy upon us. What to blend IV IV dunia has an orphan status applicator lots of panel that is alive though they report back to Masada is Sarah balada ob ob HeMan.
Mati was he at Kula shy Allah subhanaw taala report back to Moosa after masala, whatever you want, it's your punishment. It's your Rama, you do with your punishment, whatever you want, you deal with the way you want. So lots of hands, I said, My punishment, I punish whoever I want, and my mercy encompasses everyone. Subhan Allah. Allah didn't say my punishment encompasses Iran. My mother encompasses Iran does not believe him and those that don't believe in me, but my punishment, I punish it whoever I want.
So Masada is Salam.
After a loss of Hannah tala made them Inca, he returned back to Benny's right after masala is Salam returned back to Venezuela even though the mission their mission they've been taken out of Egypt and now they've been promised the Holy Land God to the Holy Land and these are the verses are resorted to in Asia.

Allah subhanho wa Taala taking benefits
from Egypt, and Allah save them from the tyranny and the persecution of Ron and his people. And now a lot of thought has given them the promised land, the Holy Land, but Kunal naka de la de Casa La La come, enter the Holy Land Allah subhanaw taala promised you what holy land is Allah subhanaw taala referring to this to narrations.
It's been mentioned the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as India,
India
So the Holy Land and the promised land was earlier.
Some of those colors are alien is Jerusalem, Betamax of color say it was Jericho. Whatever it is, whatever it is, allow Allah, it's most likely it's Jerusalem. But whether it's Jerusalem, or jerrica Allahu Alem. It makes more sense that it's Jerusalem because it's happened to Islam. And his son Yaakov Israel in another name for Jacobi, Israel. They were the ones who built the Luxor in Jerusalem. So these are the children of Israel. They are back to where your father came from, which is Jerusalem. Regardless, Allah subhanaw taala said, elbaite
Allah subhanho wa Taala had promised benefits in the promised land, you have
entered the sacred land, the Holy Land, the promised land,
let
Allah subhanaw taala drill for you. While
on kalibo ha serene but danga back, don't turn back otherwise you lose.
Banner yamasa in common, jabbering lips Lexa it was Jerusalem Ilia
regardless of the narration but let's say it was Jerusalem, that's the promised land the Holy Land Allah subhanaw taala promised Ben Israel, but at the end of the day, there were Jews or Muslims, the Muslims. There's no such thing called Judaism, the way Benny saw Muslims, the children of Israel,
Prophet messenger, Jacobo spoken about his story before
Allah subhanho wa Taala commands Bani Israel to enter
the promised land, the Holy Land and for the people of the land and then turn back.
They said our masa, masa in Burien or masa, who you know, the people that live in that land, that are gigantic people, they're Jabarin torn big people that are not as the can, I mean, no humongous people, and they talk most of most of these people are very well experienced people when it comes to walls and flooding. We asked Vanessa, we farmers, we've been enslaved for the last four centers 400 G's, we haven't even carried a weapon for a very long time you are asked to face to face and confront these humongous people just buried. So they said to Musa Musa, we are not going to fight Subhan Allah. So Allah azza wa jal revealed to Masada, Salah, Tobin Israel
to march towards the promised on holy land and to fight on our guarantee them victory. Just getting fight and alive those are guarantees you victory. They want a better guarantee than the laws of Alabama's guarantee.
So they said yeah Moosa in the Fie her home and Jabari in our in
the
in the promised hominem that you loved with full disrespect and masala is that your Lord had promised us in that land. It's been inhabited and it's been resolved by gigantic Jabarin. Third, big messy people that have a very strong reputation and fighting they've always won. We're not gonna enter that land and to the people of that land come out of that land.
So Allah subhanaw taala revealed to musei Noah
Carla Juliana minella de una Anam Allahu Allah. Allah, Allah.
Allah, Allah revealed to Masada he said on the first revelation
they said no gain on fourth and is guaranteed victory. They said no. So Allah revealed to masa Okay, Tobin is just too much, not too far, but I'm gonna give him a victory.
You can't ask for a better deal than this. Just March.
But March just marched towards the Holy Land Ilia Jerusalem, or whatever city it is, just march towards that city, walk through the gates of the city and will guarantee victory don't even have to carry a weapon. Colorado law dreamin
from the nation of Venice right from the people of Musa Tumen. They said Fiala marched through the door and Allah will give you victory will
depend on Allah and Allah subhanaw taala was from his countrymen. It's a big mistake that some people say to men from Venezuela I know those two men were Muslim Mr. Harun
even the 70 righteous man did not even support moves on her own.
So he told them, Allah subhana wa Tada.
Those who just match move forward, enter the land go through the gates of this city and Allah subhanaw taala will give you victory. So they responded back to him and they said Paulo Moosa in London Hola, Abba. Movie ha,
enter. Boca katella in una Cardona lives under makes mention of that is when I responded back to masala in
March, then fall on Mount give me victory. They said oh my god, you and your Lord, we are not going inside. We are not gonna fight we're not even gonna match. We're not even gonna walk through that guide until the people of that land walk out of it say go you and you look look at the disrespect guy you and your Lord fight on our behalf. We are waiting outside this land when you win call us we'll come in

just
was the rest. Alicia 70 people feel
alive and you saw it with the noise no one zero support not even one person
not even one person from Benny Islam in support of masala Islam.
So Allah says in the Quran Karim, Tara be in Nila Emily qu in nuptse
look at the verse masala Salaam generosity Allah it's only me and my brother, his brother, Prophet, prophet to her own
it's only me and my brother.
Bobby in Nila amiko
frog by Nan our by non common festa Kenya Allah don't punish me my brother because of these bad people.
Don't punish us because of their disobedience. So what are the laws of hanadama database right Allah punish them.
Allah Allah, Allah made them see miracles. And then I'm gonna give you this land the promised land. Just March walk them for and you get it, and they refused. And they turned against musala salam in a very disrespectful way.
But during the time of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam when he asked the Sahaba to help him and support him in a better a better
homosassa do you think we're gonna say to you What?
moussaka you and your Lord For we are sitting over here on messenger of Allah Muhammad by Allah we're gonna say to you and your last fight we're coming with you. These are the companions of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and this is Benny slowly get you a new load file. We're
so
what's the punishment that loss of handle data punishment is a pile of her in her Mahara Matan Allah him. Albertina Santa Yachty hoonah Allah on the Spanish law in the punishment of being lost, l St. Lost, lost in the lands, Allah subhanaw taala punish them a punishment for 40s for zero 14 is a punishment called the punishment of t in the Chronicle, the punishment being lost wandering in the lens can't find any city or town or village

Travel travel travel in the desert is harder not to do sir. Allah subhanaw taala is the creator of lens and Allah subhanaw taala
All Mankind 40s Yeti hoonah fill out fella
recipe a lot of most of them feel sorry for the disobedient people. That's how they want to act. That's how they want it. That's what they get. So a lot of punishment is wrong in 40 years to be lost and wandering in the lens can't find a city, a town, a village nothing last 40 years in the desert. Why 40s
some of the scholars have an opinion on it, because 40s that's when an old generation goes and a new generation comes so lots of panel data wanted to clean them all out.
A lot wanted to clean the old generation that worship that car and turned against a lantern against the proper messenger allowing it to clean them all out. 40s
and that's why after 40 years when Israel entered the promised land
the old generation is gone. A new generation came in so 40s Okay, you think about a 40 years Okay, we'll look at 40 years stuck in the desert. They need food. They need water. They need shelter.
They need garments and clothes
ALMOST LOOK why the disrespect they had to musasa look to us well it's your fault a lot of your gang get this promised land this holy land but you're the one that refused even thought you just walk in and then even five analyzer they'll give you some authority come to work didn't even work and I'll pay you but nah
No, no, no, I'll get paid staying at home doesn't work that way. doesn't ever want to come to work and not work.
So the start to reprimand Metallica. They were very disrespectful to Masada and Salaam to
