00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			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.
