We then
enter
enter
before I
begin,
mention some statements
in this
And
Allah said, look at the alley keep it
at the now when they get to the.
Because when they woke up
or when they was rise
from the from the state that they would
sleep, but after now,
they start asking questions,
but, you know, between themselves.
And he said,
How long was we actually
we were sleep?
The old man,
We will sleep for a day or maybe
a half a day.
And he said, only I know it. Only
our master
asked the one who know,
knows of how long did we stay in
the state.
And then so so one of them appoints
to
to go find something, and he has some
coins, silver coins. The word,
means silver coins.
To to go to the city,
and and he tell me to go to
the city and to go watch.
I'm
sorry. It's I actually to watch,
to pick up the weather, the food that
is spirit.
But before I begin, I keep
continue with the.
Before I begin with the Surah and Surah
Ta'ala,
I always say I do a recap.
And among the recap of this,
I always,
talk about what was talked about previous.
And the thing that what we discussed
last time
about the boys of of Elikaf,
the boys at Ephesus actually waking up.
And then the laws of Hanover was to
allocate the description
and what they would actually look like.
Actually, what they would look like.
And one of the things
he discussed he talked about the dog, how
the dog was stretched out,
you know,
in the cave, at the mouth of the
cave, or inside the piece of the cave.
And then he said if you was to
see me, you were actually you would be
running.
And he used the word,
you be running with fear.
And
Allah
turned around,
and he said,
And the boys, when they woke up,
they started to discussing
among themselves
how long they will sleep,
how long they stay in a in in
a place.
And then one of them made a very
profound statement, and he
said,
which was
very beautiful. And water she is.
And so
in one said, only our master actually is
the one who really know
how long was we actually sleep.
And if we go back because to them,
they really, in reality,
thought they was only sleep for a day
or maybe a half a day.
And then they came to the conclusion as
we know what was the thing that took
place. And, honestly, I would like to ask
you a question
about this.
After
they woke up from out of their sleep,
what was the first thing that hit them?
And and, you know, I would like to
ask the question and should I tell them?
Oh,
it oh, it is?
Okay.
The first thing that he hit them,
the first thing that they remember was their
master.
The second thing that they of course, when
you get up, there's how we sleep, and
then they return back to Allah.
And one thing that my teacher made a
very beautiful statement, and he said,
it shows
how the
boys
as had they was in a state of.
It's a sunnah,
and it's a practice
of the MBI and it's a sunnah
Then when you wake up, you remember your
master.
Especially when you're having discussion with not discussion.
When you're discussing
how long was this or that,
they immediately return back to Allah
And what the say,
the one thing that people of knowledge that
they do, and this is,
part of the
part of the the of the NBI.
Not the and not of the NBI, but
the of the of the Sahaba. Because the
Sahaba, when you ask them a question and
you have the question know the answer, it
meaning they would respond. They would say,
and his Nabi know the know the question
to this answer.
And the way of the NBIA
that they will always respond,
only Allah, subhanahu, wa ta'ala, know this when
you don't know. And true enough,
the real people of knowledge is the one
that if they don't know the answer,
they can't respond to the question.
And this was the way
many of the great Ulema,
media of the great.
If they didn't know anything,
they they they wouldn't answer with something that
they have no understanding about. One person, and
I think we'll show if I'm not mistaken,
and he made a statement, and he said
that one time when he
was answering the questions of the people,
meaning when he was answered the question because
because when they were sending a masjid at
a certain place,
the the will sit there to answer the
questions for the people.
And he made a statement that he was
only able to answer only a few of
those questions
because he didn't know. And these are the
people of real knowledge, the people who feel
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Because when you when you don't know something
and you answer it without having the information
of the knowledge or without having the knowledge
of the situation,
You could be accountable for that. And this
is why in hadith that
that when you when you study also hadith
and you study the kind of hadith,
that's a very rigid
situation because
when you did it with hadith,
you can't speak on the behalf of Nabi
alaihis salam. It's something he did not say.
It's very dangerous.
And we know some of the icons sometime.
We know
the.
One thing he mentioned
that there are times when you can use,
according to the, when you can use
to increase the of the air clock of
something.
But you cannot really use
when it's concerning rulings. And this was the
way of Imam Nabi alaihi.
You know, he was Shafi'i, but, you know,
that
was and that's how they work with the
great of their time, how they work.
So what the boys of the cave, what
they did, they respond.
In other words, we don't know and only
our master Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala know. And
before I go further, I'm going to say
this.
When you go further into Surah Kukaf,
the thing that you would discover
in the Surah
that you will see
that
when the people ask Musa, alayhis salaam, who
is the who
is the most knowledgeable
among the people?
In reality,
just from a a a layman point of
view.
Musa,
alaihis salam, answered answered the question he said
he is.
And when you look at his statement of
course,
you may be gonna feel like that or
he made that statement because why?
He was the of that time, and he
was given the great one of the greatest
of the time, which
of course, he heard the
and he communicate with Allah
So the question is, he respond he respond
to the answer, I am.
And we know when we're looking some of
the the stories of and Musa,
And you can look at some of the
statements of the and some of the and
some statements of the and he said,
there's
one
that he has way more knowledge than you.
And you look in some some,
they they say
that's when
they have so more more knowledge than you
that you're not even willing to even tie
your shoes. And this is.
So the
and we look at the
and they said, if Musa alayhi would if
Musa alayhi
would've responded, allahu alayhi,
only Allah knows this question,
the answer to this question.
They said that Musa, alaihi,
it wouldn't have been it wouldn't have been
easy
for Musa and the people to come
to reach the level of of Al Makikah,
meaning to to get the the gist of
that knowledge. And when you tools, when you
ask from Allah,
he respond very fast to me. But when
do I that I always say I'm not
getting on someone to discuss.
When do I that I always recite that
when I give it a?
Oh, you will hear me. You always recite
the
In other words, I'm asking that Allah to
strengthen me
when
I carry on this task.
Because why? According to hadith
even though the dua
is is is is dua, there's some duas
that when you
when you commit when you ask Allah
is so powerful powerful,
But Allah
loves it, then he respond, give you what
you need.
And one of those statements according to,
he
said,
if
you
call
upon
Allah
Allah
will respond to you or he would give
you something that is he will reward you
for it. We look at the other hadith
of Prophet
it does say that the person who recites
the beginning of
and this is one of the heavy,
du'a alham, and when you recite the first
two eyes of Surah Alai Muray, Allah
will respond to your du'a.
So so when we go back to the
boys as, the boys of the king,
the fact they didn't know.
Look how they responded.
Only our master know
how long we we stayed in this place.
And he didn't use, you know,
It it it didn't use the word.
It didn't use a place of of a
permanent place or other than a place that
that has a stone at a time that
is a permanent, like, with Allah
used
in
in
when he, you know, when we say,
I think I think, when
he
they would stand up for a long time.
They'd be in the state of of of
of anxiousness.
Right?
But what they do in this,
they didn't use the word.
They used the word,
which is, I think is so beautiful.
The word that they used was what?
Sorry. How long we stay in this place?
So
for long,
you know,
let me continue and show that to either.
Any questions?
Oh, okay.
I'm
sorry.
There was continued questions, but
let me continue.
And one word that keep pop popping up
in this in this in this story of
the boys as,
the boys of the cave,
is. This world keep popping up. You know?
And doctor
doctor Hamoudin,
Hamoudin,
one of the great most of his time.
One day he said,
if you ever wanna see the gist of
a sorter,
look at the word scheme, the word game
that's being that's being displayed displayed to us
in the sorter.
And, sometime, it can give you a deeper
understanding
what the sorter is con is actually concerned
about.
So when you see this word of Ba'ath
keep popping up popping up,
it's going to explain
what Allah
is explaining in this Surah.
But let me continue into the.
And the thing that what the boys as,
as cow,
the thing that they discussed among themselves let
let me continue.
In that,
They appointed 1 among themselves,
and his job was was to what? He
had some coins.
Now what's so
strange about this story, and I don't mean
to say this,
the boys didn't bring any food to them
from from themselves,
for themselves when they ran away from the
king. Actually, when they broke out of jail
or something happened.
They didn't bring any food.
So the only thing they had was a
few coins.
Well, these you know, a few coins. What
a *.
The,
They are silicone.
And so this also is going to highlight
something that is very important in the story.
And look how highlighted
it. Because one thing we have to remember,
when Allah
when he said in the in in the
first when he said,
When he explained
that that we have present to you a
profound
narrative, a profound story. Now look how Allah
is highlighted. They had civil coins.
And then once they have the he he
had the.
So when you go to that city
but they all do.
Be very, very, very
careful.
Be very, very careful.
Now
in what she said,
Once you get some food
that is
as god, that is pure food. Now look
at this. And some old Hamas say that
that
that maybe the boys of Abqab did under
they did understand what consists of the halal
and the haram.
As doctor Ekram,
he made a a statement concerning this,
and he said
even at the level basically, at the level
of the imam, they was even being.
And
one thing, when he said, hey. You had
as
character.
When you get some food,
there's some food that's gonna help us at
the risk.
That's going to help us. Look how he
was thinking.
In other words, stay away from that food
that is haram.
Matter of fact,
observe what you're getting it from. Now now
they know now look how we we learn
so much at confidence.
The money they had came from Halal Resources.
So we do know in the if
I buy anything
for myself or for my family,
that income have to be it have to
come from Halal Resources
in order for me to get the benefits
or the reward from
So once it come from our resource,
pure resources.
Look how they was thinking.
They even want them to even observe
where you're getting at.
Who's the individual observing? But matter of fact,
would you be extremely careful?
Now
in this
I know some of us already made a
statement and said,
even when you you had a schedule,
make sure because, you know, they see not
and I look at it thinking, make sure
that someone is not even trying to pause
in this. Be paying close attention to where
you get this from, and be very careful
when when you
or, when you walk out there.
Even if you look at the grammatical structure
of the word
of how Allah
is talking about look. Listen to it.
Take home the beauties.
I'm sorry.
You said you,
you should eat right now. Be cool.
Be very careful.
Even when you're looking around, or you're trying
to get you know, you know, you're trying
to get the food beef beef. Just kind
of just be very careful. Don't don't bring
us anything,
but just
just pick the scene now, in in other
words. Be very because why? We don't want
nothing to track back to us. So look
how you're looking at it. Make sure
that the money could that that we're getting
that is coming from Halal from from resources.
Make sure
that no one see you. Be very careful
of what you're
doing,
and make sure and pay close attention.
And do not cause,
awareness to yourself.
Keep the scene in other words.
You know what's amazing? And I'm going to
say this. When you look at some people
when you look at the
the 10 within the 10
When Allah
talks about the,
you know, how he did about the, and
this is a test in it's a you
know, in all these things like this.
Allah
is also letting us know, and I'm going
to explain this.
Sometimes people go in a state
such of a state, Zulit.
Not just as a bad thing,
but they go such in a state of
Zulit that they denounce everything.
They take on the role as we look
at the people before us. Remember one time,
there were some kids in in in in,
in Medina
during the time I would have been.
And I'm gonna walk in, and he saw
these these young these young people,
and they were sitting down. It was in
a masjid. They were making liquor.
And he he asked him, you know,
what are you doing?
We said that you remember.
And I'm gonna ask them, do you have
any,
a job, or do you work or anything?
And they said no. Basically, we sit here,
and we
are remembering Allah.
Became angry.
Why?
Because also remember Allah
as well
is also
trying to find,
provision to take care of yourself.
One thing that my teacher made a very
profound statement,
and he would just explain some of the
theories of of the soul.
And he said some people,
when they make
the,
they make and
they recite making in certain ayats.
But sometimes they treat it as a risk
from Allah
to fall from the sky.
He said, if that, it can happen.
But he said, but Tawakul also consists of
you making you doing your.
And he said, the way of the
they do their part,
and then they put their trust in Allah.
And he said, when you look at the
the boys of Ephesus, the boys of the
cave,
all the things, what they were doing, they
was making effort first, and then they asked.
And so he said the problem was sometimes
it's okay to ask,
but the problem with the Muslim sometime I
mean, you speak better. Probably with some of
us,
we ask
and we don't make any effort.
The sooner the prophet is
to make the effort. One thing Nabi
what he would do, he will always pray
to Allah
He will make the effort. Then he will
go back and he will ask Allah
again. Now when you look at the voice
of the cave, the one thing that you
would discover from them,
Look how they sit down, and they had
shoulder with each other.
They appoint 1 among themselves.
He had a few coins.
Their coins mustered out the cape and good
resources.
And when you go
in the city,
make sure you found something that is feasible,
that is good. Don't don't burn don't don't
get too much, but get enough that, you
know, that
we can eat. And while you're doing it,
Be very careful.
Watch
also with your watch them and with their
dealings and observe the individual that's confronted.
So this is how they even when we
look at that even when we're doing things,
we have to make effort.
Gender doesn't come free.
Gender comes comes what? Actions
and the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Because in reality, what are we trying to
do?
Through our action, we are trying to win
the mercy of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, and,
hopefully,
that this thing
would enter us into gender
from the mercy of Allah
So Let me
continue into
the.
Okay.
Another thing that we have to observe,
and show that to Alaa,
when Allah
Sir?
When Allah
made the statement and he said,
about the boys of the conversation,
because we do know they were hungry, and
Allah and Allah
made the statement, and he say,
pretty much,
be very careful. Try not to be seen.
Now look at this.
Wenshake
made
a
a statement,
and he said,
but why is the word
is in this?
And then you go to the
ayat
number
21,
you're gonna see
again.
And he said, but when you look at
these words,
it has a domino effect. And
let me explain my
second. Allah
said in the Quran, he said,
And Allah
made the statement and and and he said,
if if
they was to
if they was to find out about you,
if you was to become
very clear, they will,
they were,
means to throw something at you.
They will
not overcome you,
but they would try to stone you or
they would try to cause problems to you.
So look what the eyes are saying. If
they really know who who we are or
who what is it, if you're not being
so powerful,
what's gonna happen, they're gonna try to bring
some problems to you.
And so it means that those problems,
it can follow back to this direction.
And if if they find out who you
are. So be very discreet.
Or and he said, look at look at
the other statement.
Right?
They will,
force
you They will force you, and they will
they were trying to, in other words,
to, to cause pain to you. I was
for you to return. Now look at this.
This is a very heavy statement. Or oh,
yeah.
It's a very heavy statement.
You know, they would cause so much pressure
on you and give you so many problems
because why? They want you to return back
to what they was on.
Now and he used the word.
The word
in
Arabic, it kinda would take us back
to Ibrahim. See, is a is is is
a is a
beautiful word.
But some apparent reason,
he didn't it wasn't what was you oh,
you you took me feed.
The word that was used
oh, yeah.
They want you to return to back to
what they was con they they was passionate
about.
When we look at the Quraysh
now remember that this is what? A naked
sword.
And I'm not trying to go back a
test, but always what I'm trying to do
then sometimes when explaining the the
the
the eyes of the Quran,
it's it's good to always to trace those
ayahs back to the
Because what was the thing that actually took
place?
The thing that took place
when the people
was coming to Nabi alaihi sulku sulku sulku
sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku
sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku sulku
sulku sulkam down.
We have no problem.
Look at this. Look look at the middle
of the.
We have a problem.
We can't break him down.
He's not compromising.
We have threw everything out of him. We
have threw what's at him. We have threw
beautiful women out of them. We have threw
all these things
out. All these things. Even
even,
one statement that even they was willing to
give,
if I'm not mistaken, I think what I
think was what it was, if I'm not
mistaken, one of the sons
too. Nabi alaihis salatu salam. Or to give
one of their sons to to
Abu Talib.
Listen. If Muhammad Ali Islam is is is
a problem, I tell you what.
If you go here to stop doing what
he's doing,
we would give you one of our strong
good sons. Look what they're doing. They was
willing to even
sell their children.
You know what's you know what's so powerful?
They even we go back to the eyes
of the Quran.
Then when this issue came in the Quraysh,
the Quraysh said,
I'm not worried about it. I can, I
can set my children on the death of
Yama, so I won't go to?
Look at the mentality.
For them to not accept it, I if
if this is true, my admit what you're
saying, I think he still upset it is
true. You know, on the day of judgment,
I can sell some of my sons into
my way into judging that if it's true.
Look at the mentality of how they think.
Always win
when when it's coming to deen and giving
deen to people.
Deen
the the deed of Allah
is such
that it deals with reality.
It doesn't put you the the Islam does
not put you in a fantasy world.
It puts you in the in the world
of the reality. It is what it is.
And look how they felt.
I can sell within my children between
I can give 1 of my children to
Allah on the day of judgement,
and I can enter and that will
actually kick my way into Jannah. Look how
they felt.
Right?
So let me finish.
So the problem came up.
They said, you know
you know, Mohammed,
I didn't need.
I tell you what.
I'll make it we we're gonna make it
deal with you, the council.
Whom we worship what you worship,
your master,
our lord,
for 1 year,
and then you will
worship
our lord,
and our idols
the next following year.
Prophet said,
you are insane. No.
Okay. Okay. Okay. I tell you.
Then
we will worship
our Eidos for 1 year,
and you will worship we will worship
our master, which is your Allah subhanahu or
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
for 1 year.
And me and you will worship what we
worship for 1 year.
What's wrong with you? You you no.
You can't be you can't be Muslim.
You know, you did not,
Islam
for a month.
Right?
If you worship
if you would've been a Muslim for 1
year and then you want us or you
want me to worship what you worship
for 1 month? No. I said, okay. Okay.
Okay.
We will worship
our master Allah with
you
for 1 year again,
but then
you will worship what we worship with our
idols,
worship Allah with the idols
for 1 week. Can you do that for
1 week?
He said, because
here's the deal.
If you say
that if we accept Allah
There's no
except Allah, god.
And Muhammad
Did you told us that if we do
that,
we are going to flourish in this dunya.
Our children will flourish.
So let's get the best of both worlds.
Let's worship for for 1 year because we
we would do good. Then let's turn around.
You worship what we worship
for, like, a week or so.
That way, we get the best of both
worlds. Look at these tricks that they play.
Look at the
villa. Look at the game.
The.
You
you almost be insane.
Okay, Mohammed Ali. Okay. I
tell you what.
We will worship Allah
our master
for for 1 year.
The only thing you have to do
is worship what we worship
for one day.
He said, you
This is crazy. It's insane.
You want me to denounce
my aura,
the reality?
That Allah will honor
for
one day
because you're gonna worship for 1 year?
You're insane.
You know what I that was given, and
I'm going to explain.
This
this was dealing with Mila.
Is when you are
passionate
about something,
passionate about your belief, but your past in
a group where you're so passionate about something
that it entices the heart
so much
that you would you would bribe, or you
would you would you your your your feel
your heart is filled with so much that
you would do whatever you gotta do just
to just to bring it into existence.
You're putting your heart out there so everybody
can see it.
Because of this,
And they say,
You know,
You know? When they say, no. I you
know, I'm not gonna worship with you.
I'm not gonna worship what you worship. You're
not gonna worship what I worship.
That's. And you're not gonna worship what I
worship. They say every time you see,
it's responding to the service
that they was making.
They will cause problems.
They will stone you.
Now
one thing about this.
In other words,
they will force you into the religion.
And then he made the statement, and he
said,
if you do this,
There would be no benefit in this.
One thing my teacher said, and he made
he made a statement, and he said,
one thing about the Quran, and this is
the fullest statements that we do because we
do not study the Quran fairly.
We take the Quran, and we put it
towards yesterday,
and we think
that the Quran does not deal with our
reality.
Well, the stories
of Nabi alaihi salatu
salam, of the, of the stories of the,
it does not deal with our time.
But in reality, it does. That's why the
Quran
is so profound
that the Quran is something that will last
forever where everything will happen. The words of
Allah will last forever, but it didn't with
our reality.
What I'm trying to say to you is
that
things would come up to you.
Tests would be given to you. All these
things is gonna is going to take place
to you.
Test is not to break you. It's to
strengthen you.
But what's so beautiful with the Ola monster?
Never ask Allah without a protest.
Why?
Because she maybe don't have the capability
to deal with it. Even when looking to
Yousef, we look in the Quran.
When Yousef alaihi set up to Salam,
when the woman,
was lacking, as some say, was,
if I'm not mistaken. When she was locking,
locking the doors.
Boom. Boom. Locking the doors. When she was
chasing after Yusuf Ali Yusuf. Now one thing
we have to remember,
she was the wife of a governor or
a king.
That means she was extremely beautiful,
but she just couldn't
she just had to have use of.
So look what
the
said to
use of
Islam. If it went before the mercy of
Musa not Musa,
you probably would've failed.
You probably would have failed for her crunches.
If it went from the mercy of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala. It mean that Yusuf,
recognized
the beauty of this woman. And what did
he say? Oh,
surely prison is better for me.
It's better for me. It wasn't because why?
He did not want Elijah's deader to be
disappointing him. It has nothing to do with
how he thought the woman was so beautiful,
how he was attracted to her. Of course,
he was.
He was being enticed by this woman. Her
beauty was coming out of her. She was
come and she was a person of high
class.
So in his mind,
it wasn't like he didn't find her attractive.
Of course, he did. But the same with
Yousef Alaihi Salam,
he said, oh, surely prison is better for
me.
He's not he's not saying that, you know,
he said that
this can affect me permanently. Meaning that if
I was to do something, this can put
me in
permanently.
Matter of fact, I don't want my manager
to be disappointed. See, one thing about the
NBI, and we've got to realize,
even Nabi
alaihi sallam, I mean, Jannah wasn't the factor.
It wasn't about gender with him. Even though
I see
I'm seeking gender from you and
but you know what their gender really was?
It's Allah
be peace with them.
That was the genuine for them.
If Allah
would disappoint with
them, that was worse than.
Even though
made a statement,
will make the statement to Nabi alaihi salam.
They said,
is there any any salah in paradise?
He said, no salah.
Then what type
of paradise is Jannah? They're so beautiful. What
type of place is this if I cannot
pray to my master?
Remember Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Jahannam wasn't a thing, but he didn't want
his master to be to be displeased with
them. What I mean to hand them *
for,
he was he didn't want a lot to
be displeased with them. So we look at
Yusuf
He said prison just
would be better.
Be better. Allah, we know in the ayat,
they'll also had a one time and say
what?
If it wasn't for the mercy of Allah,
Yusuf would have failed
to the conscience of
of this woman.
From the mercy of Allah,
that means
that the guidance and the aided the guidance
and the assistance of Allah
is from this mercy. And this is when
we so shook it. So the boys at
the cavalry, you look
at
look.
Don't go out there and try to challenge
the,
so I can take it on. I can
do it.
Even Hadith
said, what did he say?
If the jail
was here
so in other words, go out there and
try to challenge you.
The thing that they would help you would
be what?
So
when when how do we are being tested?
We are being tested
many times.
When Allah put a test on a person,
they mean that they have the ability
to pass the test.
And if they fell at it,
through the mercy
of once they realized that they fell,
then
they
to return to him to because Allah has
given them the reality
to seek the forgiveness
of their master.
So the boys of Ephesus of the cave,
they said,
if we was to turn to this,
there is no success in this.
This thing can mess us up permanently.
So
how about
so look at the how they was how
they was
understanding this.
It was that work.
In other words,
we don't wanna go out there and seek
this problem.
We have to have the aid and assistance
of Allahu.
He was always in the China being the
state
of looking for the Hiday of
and look what Allah
is telling us because Noah's so beautiful, but.
We do
know that
many of the people there, when they was
in Mecca, they was being tortured,
And they
just won't
they just won't to pray to their master.
And sometimes the touch of the prosecution
was so
much. Even when
the was
was kicked out of Mecca, we noticed, you
know, we noticed, you know, when he was
in the in the forest or they was
in the desert, and we know that
we look at the hadith of the papa
Sahid was on them. We know that some
Sahabas used to eat the leaves.
When Sahaba,
he saw something that was
salt on the ground, and he would roll
it up like this. He would roll it
up, and he would eat it. And he
said, I didn't even know what it is.
I just need something to to just clench
my stomach for for me grounded for being
hungry. I just need something to give me
a little bit of strength.
Look at this. The test,
they was happy to turn up. And how
long did they stay in a place? They
stay in a place of what? I think
it was 2 or 3 years.
2 or 3 years,
if I'm not mistaken.
So the
test, it was hard for them, but the
Sahaba that I I don't have the ability
to face the trial. What Allah
doing, he was increasing.
He was beautifying the iman.
When the boys asked,
asked Khalib,
what happened?
When the test begin to hit them,
it became
so much.
Allah strengthened
them. Not just that. What did Allah
do?
He beautified the iman,
the faith.
He beautified.
So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is giving you strength in situations that is
very difficult,
and you hold it on.
We have to look
at there's a reason why
in
they recite
17 times a day or more.
Because we continue reminding
us that Allah is reminding us that they're
what we're hanging on the mercy
of the
And in in reality, Allah's reminder,
You who we worship, you Allah, and you
You alone who can only assist us and
can help us.
So look how Allah explained this story
of the bull as it the balls of
the cave.
They was hanging
hanging by the mercy of the lord.
Now we look at the next
item.
But you keep seeing that word, but because
I because I and some say, this is
a domino effect.
What they say
that
because the boys woke up,
and then
it was a point. 1 was appointed.
And then 1,
the one that was appointed, then he went
to the to the market.
What was the person the purpose of all
this? And you see, well, because, they could
because, they could something like this. Something like
this. Something like this. It was like that.
It was like that. It was like that.
Download that because each one of these eyes
is leading to something.
What is it leading to?
That this like,
we brought them with the people's attention.
The word I thought I I thought I
need to discover.
We cause him to be discovered.
So that you will know.
So you would know about the promise of
the.
What is Allah speaking about?
Let me go into the detail.
If I have enough time, maybe, this time.
853.
And, mister Tyler, what I would do, I
would end it right there.
But there's some reason why
this eye was given by.
Well, Allah
with emphasis
that while all this all this had a
domino effect. And let me say something. I'm
gonna give 2 things.
Number 1,
Allah
was dealing with the reality of the boys
at Ephesus,
and Allah
was dealing with the reality of a generation
that when they woke up because it was
a discussion.
They were discussing something,
debating something
about
how does the body be risen of the
death of the of judgment, or is it
the soul?
So look how Allah used
the boys of the cave.
He used him in such a way
to prove a point for a generation of
people to come
by causing them to go to sleep.
So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in
the Quran,
when did he say
When I lost
Oh, I'm gonna show you
the real process of the story
from story by story, and I'm going to
go into great detail the truth of the
story.
So when we look at the ayat,
when Allah
is said in in ayat
in 19.
All of these I like
like this, like that. And then Allah subhanahu,
he explains what goes on, and then he
comes up with again
like this like this. What is the law
is explaining? He explained that all these events
are taking place for a reason and how
all these events are connected to what?
For them to be discovered.
He was placed off for them to be
discovered.
All of this is with what purpose of
them? So they discover for a reason. And
some of the
say, and we look at the eye of
the Quran because Allah want to explain to
the generation that they were dealing with
about the resurrection. And what that would say
is this.
When they was discovered and I'm going to
go into detail. And some
make this statement, and I I don't want
to waste your time.
When Allah
when he said, and we're calling to be
discovered, and
the teaching be brought to them, They show
that the promise of
and
then show that there's a,
about the
That the that the hour is reality.
Wow. See, in this statement,
we know that the way in means when.
Wow. They are discussing.
About
what? The connection of the meaning of
mean, while the person is being is the
soul being resurrected under the age of or
is it the body? So what is
answered the question.
What is the meaning to the whole person
you resurrected on the day of judgement, or
is it a soul? Because why? We do
have information that the king
it was a argument among the people
about the soul on the on the dead
judgment or the body.
So the world we say
Why are they all debating
a a month themselves about this issue? So
the scholars and this is the one thing
I learned at at Bayona.
That he made a very robust, and he
said that the word eve, even though it
means wind, but it means wow. So that
means that when Du Bois,
them waking up. They was already having this
discussion
before Du Bois were discovered.
So a lot of had a with the
other. He wants to answer
the questions, brother.
He wants to get the knowledge of something,
how he can cause somebody to sleep
and to be resurrected.
Very easy for Allah
You know,
when we look at in pseudo 2,
I think it is,
I think it is pseudo 2, if I'm
not mistaken.
Yeah. I think it is.
In in
in
when Allah
talks
about
how he give the soul and the body
the ability to hear.
And when a look what he say.
How he fast and then he and he
then the soul is born in.
I will, well,
He give it the ability
to to hear. He give you the ability
to observe something. He give you the ability
to feel well after that while in the
message. You know what? You don't even so
shook it even for the small
things. Even for the the the the the
small things I I give you
to hear,
to even feel,
and your heart is connected to that.
You don't even so to this. Then look
how to handle with the, and he goes
into line of story of the conversation with
the Sahabi. And you know what's amazing? Look
what the Sahabi once I came to Nabi,
They were always debating trying to use their
intellect.
And then we saw you know, we have
this reality nowadays.
But, yeah, but this time is different as
we say, compared to that time. You They
asked in the public sign, let us in
a break of golden letter down to go
get the book. Ah, this is very tough.
This is what the people nowadays will say.
They will say that nowadays. But what's so
strange,
we are more ignorant today than the people
yesterday.
Because
why? We say that the, you know,
that the human being some people believe that
the human being was just dropped off
on this planet.
Some people believe in everything it is heading
towards what? Atheism.
Till it became a philosophy and a theology.
That's what the ulama say.
Don't try to take on
trials.
You go to philosophy class.
Because why? Stay away from things that can
give you problems. Don't try to challenge this.
If it comes to your table,
then
Allah will he will he will.
So don't go out there and try to
and and and and try to bait with
the stuff. Oh, just just wait a little
bit.
Just wait a little bit. Here's what I'm
getting at.
When the when the people came to the
and I mentioned this before.
Now you're talking about
we're gonna be risen on the day of
judgement.
How is it so? And and then when
when when when person from the, he he
had some bones in his hand.
I don't know who's,
whatever,
but he had some bones in his hand,
and he broke the bones,
The bones. It was old bone. Broke it
and and blew it,
and the dust
went everywhere.
So you mean that Allah
is going to bring that back to life
when my
my ashes are scattered all around the earth?
How is the most of is going to
do that?
You know what's profound?
And I believe it was Musa.
Forgive me. Who is that?
Then when he asked
all about how we're going to be risen,
and when the lord
said, take the birds and cut the heads
up and take different birds and and separate
and put some over there and put some
over there. Different is now the hadith is
saying that different different species of birds. When
you take a duck, then you take a
parakeet, and then you take a a,
I believe it was Musa,
and then you take
you take a peacock
and and, you know, slaughter it, and then
you separate them and put one over there
and one over here in different places.
Or I'll show you how you're gonna do
it on the death test, and he just
called them. What happened?
The parakeet assembled with his body. The peacock
assembled with his body.
They'd have assembled with his body.
Very easy for Allah
to do this.
Right? But look at the. How my my
my dust I'm I'm gonna be all over
all over the place. Look what he said.
Oh, they
saying.
When I'm scattered
or close to
earth,
you mean I'm when I'm so look at
the word the la la. The word the
la la also mean a individual. They said
a person who calls violence, but a individual
who's all over the place.
Look at the word.
I'm going to be you said I'm gonna
be a new creation?
Oh, yes.
Oh, you're going to a mutual
mask?
Because all that you and your daddy
always gonna be reality to you in that
day.
They wouldn't say,
So you say to me, there's one that's
appointed over
them. His job.
He's
the over them.
He tries to take your soul. You know
what's gonna happen?
And you're gonna return
to no one but your
master. To your master.
So when we look at
is giving us
detail to detail
dealing with our reality,
how we're going to be brought back on
the dead judgment. He just took 7 boys,
put them to sleep
without the need of any food,
without the need of anything
to close them to sleep.
And when they get
up, the only thing they feel is hunger.
Very amazing.
So I just showed up to Alla. I
will
end
right
there,
and I will,
I just want to give these small pieces.
But
if you have any questions, and
you can send it to.
And
he can answer it, or he can send
it to me.
But,
to everybody, like I say always,
become friends with.
Very beautiful and very important.
And
And he said,
the greatest thing they would intercede for a
person of their or any person of their
judgment is the Quran.
That's the greatest intercession.
It's the Quran. It's the words for all
of
the.
It's the Quran.
It's the greatest thing to make an intercession
before you and the lost and the.
And your
the members of Allah
Allah, It's the thing that will protect you
from problems.
In the dunya and.
That
said, the
would push you into.
So look.
The Quran will complain to Allah
and
say, yeah, Allah,
He read me.
Now look how the Quran will make intercession.
Not just that.
The Quran will even intercede,
make will even protect you when you are
placing your grave.
So even when the mokkah and Nakkah begin
to question you, what will happen?
The Quran will stand up and will protect
you.
So the greatest intercession
is the Quran.
The greatest thing that will push you into
Jannah
is the.
And the thing they will
raise your level into Jannah is.
It will keep you it will benefit you
in this world, this dunya.
He will raise you in this dunya,
and he will also raise you in.
So imagine if we do 3 of these
things.
The person read the Quran.
He make
a
Quran is
make a
All these things will raise your level, your
maqam,
in this world, in the, and it will
raise you in.
So imagine for the people who attend
just to listen to this.
Can you imagine that there's maybe a caravan
of Malaika that's between me and you?
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine that when we are making
the remembrance of Allah
and their zikr go to Allah
and mention
the people
who was making the zikr. Look at the
hadith to the Poposai, alaihis salam. Wherever the
Quran is being told it,
that's the place you would not find the
punishment of Allah
So even though all of us is not
together,
Allah
had made a way
for us to be together
on the net.
So may Allah
and and when hadith did the prophet
said that you're going to say that you're
going in?
That that's one statement that they said.
To show the silhouette of the.
There was one man,
and he was
this.
So, yeah, I think he he did me.
He
did many sense.
Some say he was a drunk. We shouldn't
judge and and and, you know, judge it,
you know, put out the Muslim stick.
And he said one time,
this man went to sleep, and he saw
this man again.
And what did he say?
So how man, how you get here?
He said when he saw that man, he
had all the beautiful
crown with with jewels over the crown. He
was beautiful in in between.
He said, man, how you get a you
was a drunk?
You get some. You get some. You get
you get some things that's not good. How
do you get to? How do you get
here? He's asking. He said, tell me how
did you get here. Tell me.
He said,
wait a time when I was sitting in
the hadith pads, the class of hadith.
And when the sheikh was talking about Nabi
Ali, and
when I heard the name
of Nabi alaihi salaam,
I said,
And I rushed to it when I said
it.
And by me saying it,
it was a reminder for the crowd, and
they said,
But I'm saying that
Allah
put me in this place.
What I'm trying to say,
irrespective, sisters and brothers of Islam,
we have to stop beating each other with
the Muslim,
and we have to deal with our reality.
All of us are striving for the for
the he die and the mercy of Allah
The deen of Islam
is about hope.
The deen of Islam is about hope, not
beating people with the Muslim state, as we
say, or looking down upon the people
because they have certain deficiencies.
It's about creating hope in the heart of
the people Because Nabi
alaihi said, what?
Allah is how do you think he is?
So if you when when you focus on
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's mercy,
according to the,
hope in the mercy of Allah
and fear,
disappoint
Allah
and ask
Allah
to put in your heart how does Shushu
continue.
So all these disrespect, these sisters and brother
of Islam,
even though the
say even though
Jannah is mentioned at the same limit of
time, at the same level of time of
Jahannam, but we look in the Quran, Allah
mentioned his mercy more in the Quran, his
name and his mercy more in the Quran
than he mentioned his punishment.
And we know that the word
Allah the closest name
to is what?
Ar Rahman.
And the name that is more powerful than
Ar Rahman is what? Ar Raheem.
And we know that the word
is what.
The being that you love, Allah, is.
Allah want you to love him and appreciate
him. So dear respected brothers and sisters in
Islam,
Reading,
Allah is giving us a reality
that how he showed mercy on some kids
who was not from the NBI, who were
not prophets,
not that they existed in the time of
the prophets. They wasn't they wasn't in the
time of
Easter, Jesus, in the time of yeah. You're
telling the baptist. It wasn't even in the
time. It was afterward.
Neither was in the time of the
These 2 kids, these 2 boys, look how
Allah had mercy on them. What make us
think? For the mercy of Allah, Allah will
have mercy on us.
There's many miracles Allah
show us
that we don't even know that take place.
But like my teacher said one time,
he said, stop sometimes
and smell the roses of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Why?
Because it make you appreciate Allah.
So do you respect the citizen and brothers
of Islam?
I know I kept too long, and I
didn't mean to.
But the thing that I want to explain
to to you today is those small thing.
So and instead of that, one thing I
I have one thing I would say, please,
support Swiss,
help,
8, if possible. If you can't,
help,
And,
make for.
Make for.
For our brothers. And one thing I'm going
to say, all of us getting hit with
a trial because
nowadays in America, because
we have been hit, and now we know
what it's like. You know you know what
you know? The thing about the thing about
living
in the west, we're so comfortable.
And the laws of hadowattah that shows us
at Adam's wake where people feel who don't
have homes.
We have been hit with coal. We have
been hit with no electric. Some people have
been hit with no water.
So we know now we just know what
a small atoms wake like for the with
the person who doesn't have. So and should
I tell you, if you see anybody after
this call and anybody who need help, it
doesn't even matter if they're Muslim. We're all
from the children of. Help them in aid
the system. When you do that, there's a
hadith of the prophet Saudi or something which
you say this hadith and wipe it
There's one hadith that the pop up Saudi
or something that it says,
There was a man one time.
Sometimes he would eat, and he would drop
food.
Little food. Little small muscles of food.
And a person would come behind him, and
he would pick up the little small moistles
of food that he would eat.
What happened?
Rather, that person picking up those small morsels
of food and eating, what did Allah do?
He put that both in a minute.
How did I get here?
There was one thing when you would drop
food that belong to you. He would come
behind you, and he would eat it.
By him doing that, you into gender. And
by he just pick it up and eat
it because, you know, you know, not to
leave waste. Elijah didn't put them in agenda,
but he put the person in general who
ate it. So it shows that even when
the top hand is given to the bottom
hand, both are winning the mercy of Allah.
So please,
the Swiss,
and
may
Allah reward all of you. Thank you for
attending so much.
Thank you, and please keep me and my
family in your du'a. If I had made
any mistakes and because I'm deficient,
know that it's from that me and the
shaitan.
If I spoke on, know that it's from
Allah
So
Thank you.
