Responsibility is something that we all run away

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

from but the first part of the Quran

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

does not allow us as an ummah to

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

escape

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

our prophetic responsibility. In fact, it locates us

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

as a prophetic community with a mandate from

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

Allah to call people to the truth. Check

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

this out, Allah says,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:25

Allah

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

speaking rhetorically to the prophet and says, do

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

you not know Allah is in control of

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

all things? Do you not know that Allah

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

has dominion of all things? And then suddenly

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

in verse 106

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

of Surat Al Baqarah that tense changes

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

doesn't say

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

this is called rhetoric.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

Needs to take a u-turn so the tense

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

literally takes a u-turn

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

and stops speaking directly to the prophet but

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

speaking to him and his ummah

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

to tell us that we as his followers

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

share in the prophetic

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

responsibility.

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

SubhanAllah.
