It's it's about to go live, man. I'll
tell you when.
Alright. Here you go. It's it's about to
go live now. Thank you.
Can we start? Yes, sir.
One thing that I would like to do,
I want to,
put the ask any, questions.
We were discussing,
some of
on, and,
and I want to do, like I said,
like a recap
on sort of 2 caps
and,
and discuss what some of the things of
the terms that we use and
concerning it.
Because
the biblical thing about the Quran,
every word that's in the Quran
is perfect in the Quran,
and every word is have so much depth
meaning to it
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
is giving us detail of the stories of
the. We say the
the the seven stipples of emphasis, as we
say. And I discussed before
that,
actually,
as having the chaos
came from
the story line was really from the Christians
or the Nasadi,
And many of the people,
the
the really didn't have any knowledge
concerning,
And so I mentioned before
that
Okabe and many of them
wanted
to make the. He was selling
periods of food.
And one thing that they did to challenge
the was selling, they couldn't challenge the,
number 1, because the Quran,
it doesn't have the flow of poetry.
And one thing that they used to say,
they used to say they,
you know, they they couldn't say that the
papasani was something you know, they would say
that the papasani was something as machnun,
and we know that the word machnun
is connected to,
one who's possessed.
And
so they figured that maybe the jinn was
teaching him giving him information
of this, teaching him this high literature of
the Quran
because of Nabi alayhi salam,
he wasn't a he wasn't a poet. And
we know that whenever you said the the
poetry, it has a different flow of itself.
So the only thing they can say that
the Hebrew because they that a had to
teach him these ancient
writings and stuff like that.
And so,
let's speak. I'll, look on YouTube. I should
have told. So
so they couldn't challenge or could end.
So now they're gonna challenge from a
religious theology point of view.
So they wanna take it further, and they
wanna go to let's go take it from
1 of
the the the or the olamah, the Pharisees,
the the rabbis,
and let's ask him about this situation.
And I mentioned before
that they went to the rabbi, and they
spoke to him. They say, hey. You know,
it's a man that is among us, Mohammed,
and he claims to be.
And so
we want to,
what should we do when he asks him
the 3 questions?
Put these 3 questions before him. 2 of
them I will mention 3 I would mention,
about the story as Haile Beddakkav, the 7
sleepers of Ephesus,
Who is this person, this ruler?
And what is
the rule?
And what's so beautiful
and then he and he made a statement
and say, if he
answer all these if he answer all these
questions, do what you wanna do to us.
And so
but they come back.
That all 3 was answered, but 2 was
in great detail.
And the third, what is
the rule? Allah revealed it in in Suratul
Islam
that
nobody have knowledge of what it what it
could what is material, what it is. It
is in the knowledge of Allah
and it moves according to the permission
of
But the first one that he mentioned is
that,
which I said before,
this came from the Nasali tradition.
And he explained with.
And the second point,
who is the ruler of the east or
west or who traveled east to the west?
You know? And so and we know there's
different mix of,
And we know some people say
that he maybe was,
He maybe was,
Cyrus the Great. Some say the the time
the the time and what he did and
everything,
it matches
what,
the description of
of of Osiris the Great.
So
now in the thing that I mentioned last
time,
concerning,
verse 18, and I'm just gonna go to
small bits and pieces of verse,
8, 18
and and go into the small of the
pieces of verse 17.
Then we look that we knows we do
know that verse I mean, sorry. Verse 17
verse 18. We do know that the verse
17
verse 16
verse 17 and verse 18
is connected to
verse 10.
We know that this is connected
to the dua,
what Allah
when they asked
And then I mentioned last time how the
boys fled. They was incarcerated. In some form
of fashion, they got away.
They fled from
from, from out of jail. When they got
out of jail, then I mentioned when they
went towards the cave because we know that
the cave
was actually was in in it was in
another direction.
It was it was far maybe a little
bit more farther away from the city.
And so they went to the cave,
and then when Allah
did on the way to the cave,
Allah gave us some depth descriptions
of what's happened on the outside of the
cave and then when we're at the mouth
of the cave.
And I mentioned it.
Then when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he made some profound statements, and he told
but let me finish.
Then when when Allah
mentioned what the sun was doing see, it
shows
that the sun,
the moon, the skies, all of these are
the sounds of and
how they work.
And it's okay to sit back and look
at the beauty the beauty of the greatness
of Allah,
how he brought these things into existence,
and how they work.
One one thing
that is profound,
when Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala,
he take he take the camera
into the mouth of the cave.
And then Allah,
he go
after he mentioned what the sun was doing
with,
meaning
how
the transition of the sun, how it was
moving from right and from left,
and how we look at it, how that
the sun wouldn't even burn them,
how they only got pieces of of the
sun to keep their body warm.
And then when Allah
he mentioned also,
how they were,
when the sun were moving this direction, that
direction.
How was really when the signs of Allah
to have the certain parts of the rays
of the sun
was touching their skin,
and it wasn't totally burning them from the
mouth of the cave.
You know? And,
please hold.
So
when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he goes and he give us some small
details
that
now he say,
and go to the mouth of the cafe,
fetch you what, Jimmy, and the word fetch
you what? And
is actually some people translate it as the
porch,
but some people translate it that it's an
open area of the cave.
And then he and then he and then
he describes
he
said
Then how Allah
said that these are the signs of Allah
And then and then he mentioned
And then and then he said, then Allah
mentioned
one who was guided by Allah
If Allah
someone,
no one can lead that person astray.
And what's so profound is that they when
a person sits back, it just ponder
on the signs of Allah
And I give you an example.
When Allah
says
we know what the word mean. Some people
translate our sounds
and we know that the word
is is the sign of Allah
but it's also that when people
conquer a place or they own something,
what do they do? They take the flag,
and they put it. They claim it.
So but what Allah did in in his
this this because
some of the
says
that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala meets in the
rock, and Allah Azzawajal want the person to
have.
He want the person to
to study the science of Allah, subhanahu wa
ta'ala, because we do know that the creation
of Allah
is a reflection that Allah
exists.
And so
when we look at it, did Allah
said
Now what's so now what's so profound about
this?
What's
beautiful about this?
That we know that anytime when the island
need a wound,
these
noun
statements.
These are always just connected to a creation
that has intellect.
So
he's a master of everything that exists. He's
a master of that creation that has intellect,
that has intelligence.
So what Allah want us to get into
understanding, how do we build? How do we
develop?
How do we
ponder? Because in reality,
Allah is so vast. We cannot ponder who
Allah who he is, but we can ponder
on his creation. It's.
So when we look at the sun, we
look at the moon.
These are the signs of Allah
and how they function.
What's so profound that Allah gave us that
understanding of some of these things,
how they function.
So when Allah said
that these
that Allah guides so whosoever he chooses. And
when Allah gathered a person,
no one can leave that person astray.
Now when we look at the the next
disconnected tool,
it. When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
you know,
and we look at the word,
what's so profound is
it helps it's it's it's it it has
a aleph and lamb it has aleph and
lamb on it. That mean that this word
itself is a noun.
So whoever Allah guides
is definite
nothing can take
that entity of the path what Allah has
for. It is a permanent silence.
But when he say, well, man, you didn't
need it.
Whoever Allah leads the strength,
what the word the word is
a.
It's a verb.
We know in Arabic,
verbs have the ability
to change.
They could be
They can be,
somehow, they could be present with future tense,
or it can be,
past tense.
Well,
was so profound is that though it's a
verb.
Whoever that Allah subhanahu whoever
is is,
who is led astray or something like that,
you didn't even the person
a lot of that that that keeps the
door open.
If that person who's astray, he can if
he uses intellect
or want to, he himself can can find
the Hiday of Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
One thing that is that is beautiful about
the Hiday of Allah,
but the guidance of Allah.
I
think it I think it's in sort of
to
no. I think
it's
in
Yeah.
I believe.
When Allah
won't for you,
if if you really
if you really
want the hiday of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
Allah
actually would give it to you.
When you're searching hard to find the guidance
of Allah, if
you really desire, if you really want
it, Allah
will open that door for you.
But if you decide
that you don't you're not taking
the initiative
to look for the goddess of Allah. And
and and, too, in, I'm a be honest
with you. All of us is trying to
search
because all of us is trying to find
the guidance of
Allah, and it is a gift that Allah
gathered us
to search for the guidance of Allah. And
once we keep searching for the guidance of
Allah
what's gonna happen?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will open up their
door.
So when whoever
so we do know
of the people that's on the house. And
these are the people that was on the
Ghana's
The
was someone who followed the Sahaba, who tried
to stay on the guidance of Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala. The Taliban as as well as
to what? Long speak keep working and try
to seek the guidance of the in our
affairs. May Allah
open their door for us. So but let
me finish.
So
when Allah said,
who whomsoever
make the effort to go astray because we
know a person even though when a person
seeks to go astray,
he sought to go astray. Allah is going
to give you what you want. But through
the mercy of Allah, what he always do,
and this is this is why
he's.
He's beyond like comprehension and even his mercy.
According to hadith the prophet,
Allah
only revealed
a small piece, one piece of their mercy
into and this is to his
to, to being Adam. And the hadith of
the prophet,
he gave us an example of the mercy
of Allah,
and he said even a beast,
an animal that we
fear or whatever,
even if the mother of the beast has
her host on her young one,
she will lift her hoof out of fear
because she did not want to cope pain
and agony to her little one. So this
is just one piece of the mercy of
Allah.
The other 90 now, the other 98, we
know that this is about the Al Raheem,
and that this this this this
is for Malik.
So this, Allah
is really gonna reveal
who that that part of the mercy, who
he really is.
So we would look at as.
The mercy that they was
that they wanted, they wanted that special mercy
from Allah, Subhanahu, to Allah, and Allah gave
them more than what they can actually what
they can imagine.
But back to what I was saying.
In Surah Al Tulkaf, in
the in verse 17 I think it's verse
17 or verse 18,
18 when Allah
when he mentioned
that
if
A
person who was astray.
And according to Abdul Halim, and he and
he put he said,
but you will not find no protector
to lead to the right of those he
leads
to be astray.
And don't forget. I mentioned,
when when when a person
choose
another path other than that path that what
Allah
decide that Allah want for a person, that
person wants to go in another direction,
he he or she chose that path themselves.
If if Allah decree for a person to
be astray,
there's no more you would have no protected
that that can bring you back. So Allah
want to express his greatness.
But we know
how Allah operates.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when he operates,
he he operate with his
his mercy.
And believe in Wallahi, one thing that my
teacher used to always say,
Allah don't want to send anyone to Jahadim.
He always give the people the benefits
to his
even shaitan himself, but we would get to
that in another store in.
And so,
Allah said,
and
is the person who puts you on the
right path, a being who put on the
right path. Last time when I mentioned that
the
Well, it pretty much put us on that
right path, and I'm just skipping through this,
so please forgive me. Put us on that
right path, and we know we we do
know that they will.
We know, you know, the word
means on right path, but, also, the word
is connected.
Give us the intellect,
the
to seek that. Give us the intelligence to
identify that path because we do know that
this is from the.
So,
the person that planted Allah used his intellect
because Allah is what? Rashid.
Allah is someone who put people in that
path. So, Allah, give us the intellect to
dis to to to find that path of
Allah
to to seek it out, help us, and
aid us, and assist us. So when we
live what did young?
What what so you will not find no
protector,
no one to be able to help you.
No protector besides Allah, the one who
that, the one who can who put you
on the right path, which is which is
very beautiful. And
what I want to do,
you can ask some questions if you'd like
to.
Feel free to do so.
Fine. Okay. Let me continue.
K.
Now Allah
said,
come from the word
come from the word istakayiv, and
is when a person wakes up, and it's
and this was was used in the Quran
only one time.
What's so profound about this this If
you can see
or if you could imagine, Allah takes the
camera and he excuse me. He puts it
there,
and it shows how inside that the Quran
is.
Not just that even how Allah
how
how the Quran because the Arabic language is
a very conscious language.
And my teacher used to say,
a
person I mean, my head had a teacher,
and
he used to say,
in the city of New York,
he said, you know, you don't really have
a lot of trees.
So if you're always looking at brick houses,
brick buildings, and stuff like this, This has
an effect on the eyesight.
So when you look at the in the
desert, even though the the desert is a
very beautiful place,
when you're looking at the sand,
suddenly when you see a palm tree,
the greenery from the palm tree becomes
in a state
of
awe. One thing about the Quran, one thing
about the Arabic language,
it's not just a grammatical,
powerful language, but it's a very picturesque language.
So when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
If you could see or if you can
think or if you can imagine,
if
you can see them, they was actually awake.
And he said, well,
who? The word
in Arabic
means a person who one who is sleeping
so relaxed,
and his limbs and his body is at
ease.
You know, it's kinda like when them sleeps,
you know you know, kinda like when you're
working
when you're working.
And you
you come home from work or you come
home from school, and you're just in a
just in a profound deep sleep that your
limbs and your body just so just so
relaxed. This is what the word
or mean you're just so relaxed at ease.
So a lot of them, they're actually asleep.
They're actually see but if you was to
see them,
if you was to see them, you will
actually it would be like they was awake.
So when you look at the scholars,
and even even so you
see,
they say they their boys as as had
been in camp was awake, and their eyes
were open.
Their
their eyes were open, and while they were
turning from
side
to side, they was moving from the from
the right side to the left side, but
their bodies are turning. And matter of fact,
Allah said,
And it was a dog in there. You
know, we as Muslims sometimes I don't go
out to say this.
We as Muslims sometimes,
we treat
those or even the
the pigs.
We treat them like they're animal who does
it, and the gist of the notes.
We treat them like they're animals
that they don't have feelings.
It's amazing. Even dogs and cats cry.
We treat them like
they are the lowest of the low.
Even some brothers,
when they see a dog, and and I
don't want to attack any of them of
that, any of
the opinions of the ulama
concerning if the dog, like, the clothes or,
if a piece of the hair of the
animal is on your clothes. And there's so
there's so much
on these issues and, but this is not
a fit source of this is not a
fit class. One thing I will say
that sometimes even when the dog is coming
before you and it's dull,
we treat the dull
like
lower than we treat a cracker
a a roach.
We treat it very low.
When, there was one chef,
he in this one book I have,
and he has a book that's called,
it's called
Islam.
In other words,
what is the Islamic concerns of animals?
Because we do know in Islam,
animals have a right.
And we go so far that even when
we dissect the
even
the will come to.
And I'm not trying to get up there.
I'm just trying to just just to get
an insight of what is the of animals.
The camel
there was one camel that came to,
and it came running to Nabi.
And according to the sidda, the reason why
the animal come running to Nabi
because the camel overheard
them discussing,
having a conversation.
It's okay. Having a
conversation that this camel is too old.
In other words,
let's go ahead and
get the benefit from her. You know? You
know?
And and eat from you know? Maybe we
can
make money from her hide
her hide her. Or, you know, maybe we
can sell the meat,
whatever.
And the camel
heard
you. And they said that the cam and
and one thing that the camel and
and and,
let me kinda rewind.
The camel couldn't break away
what they will put on the, of of
the the luggage they would put on the
camel. The only because someone hadith of the
prophet Sahari will send them. When the Sahaba
of the other home, some of them will
sit on the camel. That'd be
would
say, don't sit on the camel like that
because she's not a pulpit.
It's a magic.
Look at the compassion he have, you know,
he would have for a camel. So the
camel
heard that they want to kill her or
him
because they had no more use for him
anymore. He's he's slow.
She's slow. She's old. She can't carry our
luggage. What we need her for? Let's get
rid of her.
And the camel broke loose,
ran to
with tears in the eyes and put
her or his his head
at the level of the Prophet Sadi,
and the camel was crying hurt. And Nabi
alaihi sala began
to rub the camel. He calmed the camel
down
and communicated with the camel.
And this story was was the and it
and the camel
told
story.
What they're trying to do to them?
So look at Nabi
What did he do? He collect some
money. He went to the people. He said,
hey.
Let me buy this camel off you.
Look at the.
So even when we look at animals
in Islam, animals have rights,
even the dog. So sometimes, even how we
treat the dog, we're misunderstanding
some of the the shape of sickle issues.
We treat we treat sometimes, we treat animals
like they're creation,
a low creation that is not loved.
So dogs have rights, and I'm not gonna
go into the fickling issues,
handling in your house and all this and
stuff like this.
Nabi alaihi salam said, get rid of the
dogs and stuff, but then what we do
know there's some things that's from the siddha
and Nabi alaihi salam.
We do have evidences from
the that we know that in the Madinah,
there was there was dogs that have had
rabies, and it was some say they was
thought they had rabies in Madinah, so they
didn't
know which other dogs we get rid of.
So,
he sort of some he passed some rules
concerning the dogs because why? The deen of
Allah is also about preserving life. And even
when you study the the Malachi Minhas,
you have the different opinions. The one other
thing that's beautiful about the Malek I Minhas,
even though it's still connected with the sunnah,
but it it continues to stress the point
about preserving life.
The deed of Allah is about preserving life.
So as a Muslim,
we have the value of life. We even
have the value of the life of an
animal and a dog. For some period of
reason,
the and calves
had this
this dog with
them. They had a dog with them.
And a lot
of said, as a matter of fact, the
dog was in the cage.
The dog was in the cage, stretched out.
He was stretched out,
and his arms were stretched out.
And the loss of Hadawazala now look what
he did to to to show the beauty.
And he said,
and he said,
the full legs of the dog will stretch
out at the entrance.
And he said,
He
said, and if you were to see
I was telling you, the camera.
If you was to climb up the mountain
and you see the dog we don't know
if it's a sheepdog. We know some people
argue about this stuff. If he was to
see the dog with the big paws or
whatever, and some of, they say, you wouldn't
even think it was a lion this in
the cave.
We do know look at this.
You know?
We do know that what's so beautiful,
that we do know that the animals of
Allah
are here. They worship Allah
Not just that. They are designed to save
any animal.
So Allah said,
if you was to see the the dough
stretched out
and he opened it, he let it stay
like that.
In other words,
you will be filled with terror
running,
with
speed,
scared.
And he said,
You know, this is what means you get
filled with something, like a cut this overflow.
But he said
when he said, then you will be filled
with terror.
And matter of fact, you will be so
scared
that that if you see a person, hey.
Come on. Come with me. Let's go this
let's go in this direction.
Go by running with fear.
So let's do 2 points.
If you was to see the boys of
Afghanistan from right to left
and allow for preserving
matter of fact, he take us out the
cake. If you were to see the hooves
of the the elbow of the dog just
kinda peeking,
you were running with heavy speed
running for your life.
This shows
that one of the signs of Allah
that when we worship Allah
at the best of our ability,
all we give the dua, and I said
it in the last we give the dawah
to to give the dawah to people with
concern.
We we never know how the creation would
aid and assist us, and Elijah showed us
what the sun
as my teacher said,
the sun is so huge.
You can put many earths in 1 sun
in one star,
and that sun will not perish.
The earth would perish, but the sun would
not perish. You can put over 20 of
our maybe tens of 20 of our one
earth in that one star, and it will
perish. But Allah
showed us that even through his mercy, how
the noor, the light that was coming from
the sun had how Allah ordered the rays
of the sun to bring comfort to the
boys at Al Aqab while they were sleeping.
And they had no inclination at all what
was happening.
You know, sometimes, you know, we read this
hadith from the papa
when we go to sleep,
and a person next to be prepared by
themselves
as a form of,
and he go to sleep at night.
Then he and then we read the hadith
of the prophet hadith
of that's with this individual, that's with him.
We read this hadith, and there's another hadith
that even have with the tongue plead have
the body pleased with the tongue.
We don't even understand the transition of the
conversation.
So the the mercy of Allah
he gave us insight what's actually is happened,
something we do not even comprehend
to have the body pleased with the tongue.
Do not send us a.
Do not send us
a. Please. We don't even understand the conversation
that's going on. So
give us insight what is taking place.
When we serve
Allah look how
Allah open up the doors for us.
But let me further continue into the time.
Now Allah, what is this thing that Allah
is doing for
us?
And Allah
he said,
Therefore, they woke up.
And they begin to questioning each other.
And they said,
How long was we sleep
when they woke up?
How long have we been we we've been
asleep?
Had given us a small insight.
What's gonna happen to us on the day
of judgement?
The boys at didn't
even know how long they were
sleep. And are you catching some stories of
some of the Muslim said
that even their nails gulon
or their hair eating glum
because a lot is gonna be good to
you how long they will sleep.
Their hair glum, and their nails glum. You
know what's so profound
in this? And that's
some stories with.
We do know that when a person passed
away,
when a person gets old, there's 2 things
on his body that keeps growing,
why his eyesight is getting bad,
why his skin is beginning to sag and
begin to draw up, while his back is
beginning to bend. Everything is drawn up. They
put him in a fetal position.
One thing that keeps growing on the body
is what?
The little foam
and the oomph. The ears and the nose
keep growing
on the body when a person is old.
Now
that's fast forward. Now when you put someone
in the grave,
while everything's beginning to perish, his skin, his
eyes, everything is is is is deteriorated. He's
returning back to dust.
That's one thing that keeps growing on him
is
his hair, their hair and their nails.
So one person's made a statement and said,
there's one story they say when a boy
is having a cow. Their nails were long
and their hair was long, giving evidence that
these these boys had been asleep for a
long time.
But when one refute that
that story,
he said, actually, it was preserved. It was
the same.
But when another person said,
yeah. But if the sunlight is slightly touching
them,
one thing that the sun does to the
body, it preserves
them.
It preserves the skin, and it preserves the
bones. Look how the scholars even argue about
the situation.
But the point of the story, what Allah
wants
us to pay attention to,
to favor how he favored them
when they woke
up,
and they will shut how long will we
actually
sleep?
And and he said, yo,
And what else do you say?
You
know?
Half a day or a day or 2
day, but like it.
When we wake up on the day of,
Allah is
description what we're going to say
when we come out of grave. How long
have we been in this place?
Well, those who are the believers
in Allah,
They would feel that they would just sleep
for a little while, but it couldn't be
slept for 100 of years.
Liquid shock.
I'm not trying to get off tariffs when
I'm going to say this.
When we are in the grade
right.
And I just gave a small notice on
looking and
and that kid.
When we were in the grave,
those people who
served Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, the best of
their ability,
The gift that Allah
will give,
that that while they're in the,
their gates of Jannah will be opened further.
When the gates of Jannah in Jannah is
open further,
they'll be focused looking at their place in
Jannah. Now what Allah has for them, they
haven't seen what's what's what's gonna be in
the inside.
They're looking at what's waiting in Jannah for
them. They haven't been in there. They just
get they just get a small window that
is so beautiful
for them to see what is gonna be
their position injector. Because we know it look
and.
When they will respond, you pass the test.
When when you know, when they ask
you,
Who is your prophet? Who who is your
master and who and and who is Rasul?
What is your dean, Madinuk?
And you respond this with very
fine colors.
What the Malaynik gonna say? Now look ahead
of you. Look up,
and you will see the gaze agenda will
be open for you. When you see the
gaze agenda is open for you, you will
be in a such in a state of
awe. Now imagine.
We're in this world.
We kind with another just for the quality
of a piece of steak.
A taste that doesn't last for
it only lasts for
10 or 5 minutes.
A person would do a crime, and I
mentioned this before.
A person would do a crime just for
the quality of a steak. Man, I don't
want a I don't want a t bone.
I want a New York state. No. No.
No. No. I want a rabbi.
This is a quality of a piece of
meat.
A person
will
portray another person or steal from another person
because the quality of a hat of a
shoe,
because the name that's on it.
Temporary
things.
Well, these temporary things as we feel then
we we did they are tip even the
feeling and the word and the taste, it
all would perish.
It's only typical.
But the people that's in the grave, no,
even having a beautiful car.
I like Lamborghinis and Tesoroses
with their beautiful cars.
But in reality, the only benefit I get
is the hook of it and going with
fast. And, eventually, I would get bored with
that
and want another.
But while we're in the grave, look at
our gender.
We're in a state of awe.
We would never get bored looking at the
beauty of gender woeing the grave.
We'll be in a state of awe.
So we're not gonna be so look at
the.
Allah gives a picture of the boys,
how they were comfortable.
Right?
How he even made
the rocks
very comfortable for them like this, not just
that.
Even they got a a beautiful wind that
was coming in, not just that. Beautiful lighting
that was coming in.
And he was preserving their body.
So when we so when we're in the
grave, what's gonna happen to us?
We're gonna be out of state. Some of
us in
could be in a state of
so comfortable,
such an ease,
just relax,
And we look at
agenda.
We're so focused.
Look at agenda.
What's gonna happen?
The time will pass very fast.
And what we're gonna be sad?
Bring this dead
this dead this
dead judgment. Bring it very fast. I can't
wait to get to this way. If we
look at just looking at it,
that itself is a reward that's greater than
anything in the.
Anything it is doing it that brings comfort.
So when we will wake up
I said, man, how long have I been
How long have I been sleep?
You can look at it. I believe
it's sort of to, if
I'm not mistaken.
If I'm not mistaken. You have to correct
me if I'm wrong.
So,
one thing that I would do,
I will,
let me finish this and say this.
And we know
that this is only the knowledge of the
lives which are like, how long
they will sleep
in their cave
and how long
that we would be sleep in the cupboard.
In love with all of you know the,
I want to leave you with this,
and we will continue to finish this,
but I wanted to just do a recap
just to get a small understanding.
But, I'm I'm want to ask
if there's any questions answered.
1 person
The question's answered up to all of.
The only,
the reason why
I,
I mentioned
about the animals in.
I want to explain it because
how we treat the creation of Allah We
have to treat the creation of Allah
The of Allah
Even a pig, I'm gonna be honest with
you, with.
And pigs,
And I know just other parts of the
world,
you know, they look out of the peaks.
They have feelings,
man.
Honestly,
whether they be
compassionate to the creation of
even compassionate
sow compassion even for the doll.
Even though we as Muslim,
we
we
we sow compassion to the cat,
but we lose
compassion for the other creation. Oh, let me
read this and put it.
How is the number of the toilets?
I really don't understand the the question,
But you can send it to SWISS if
you like to,
the number.
There was now one thing I would say
and we're gonna get get to it.
Revealed
how long was he actually sleep. They would
sleep for 100 of years,
and we're going to be we're going to
go through it,
And how many was it. There was 7.
And and Allah is going to go into
detail because he know I'm not saying that
this is a petty question because I think
any question,
that a person has is it is a
is,
is a question that's meaning
and is and is is is it helps
some meaning to it, and we should dissect
it. What Allah
did in the in in the in the
story as hab alikab,
Allah went in detail how
how
many of the Christian Nasadi scholars were arguing
about these issues.
How many were they?
You know? How many boys were they?
Some people said the dog name was.
You know?
Some the the dog of the you know,
what was the name of the dog, and
was it a sheepdog? Was it this? Was
it that?
Yeah. People arguing about these issues.
Meaning, what are they? What were their ages?
What was this? What was that? What we
do know in the Quran,
what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala do,
He talks about those things, what is important.
It doesn't mean we can't dissect it. We
can go and dissect these other things,
but the
main
the root of it, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he clears it up. What was the arguments
among the scholars?
When the Christian scholars what they were arguing
about about us about the boys of Ephesus,
the 7 the 7 sleepers, what he was
arguing about.
But what Allah highlighted,
and one thing we have to look at,
that Allah highlighted
Because I
du'a is our connection with Allah Whenever
whenever we confront me that,
call upon that
that that being that we call upon.
A lot. A lot. Listen to.
And, like, when Sheikh, Shu A'ib made a
very bit of a statement when Sheikh Shu
A'ib in Canada, he made a very bit
of a statement. He said, Allah
knows your dua,
and he understands your dua.
And he said,
oh, man. My memory.
This is bad. My my teacher will
hit me with a stick.
Allah know what's in our chest.
Now look how Allah
explain this.
What's in the chest? And whatever we say,
even what we say to each other and,
you know, this, this, and then we had
it.
He's he listened to
it, and he's pays a close attention to
what we say to ourselves.
He listened to it very carefully.
He understands
what we're saying to ourselves.
And one day, what Shirk said in Canada
was just profound.
And he said,
Allah
know what we want and what we're asking
for, and he understand the wisdom behind.
He know what you already gonna say,
and he understand the wisdom behind it. And
he know what you say to yourself. Now
a person would say, well, I don't need
to make dua. I don't need to do
the. No. Then this come from the atheist
theology.
We start studying,
atheist,
theology
and philosophy.
We're not going to you know, I don't
wanna go into great detail that they said,
well, why do you need to pray to
a man who already understand and knows you?
Don't they make him seem weak?
Look how they greet with how they thought.
But what Allah is saying, that the fact
that well, Allah let us know that the
fact that we are a creation, that we
are deficient. He's perfect. We are deficient.
We say things to ourselves,
and Allah
understand the wisdom, what we say to us,
and he corrected
us. He correct us. Because some things that
we won't,
it's not any benefit for
us.
Like myself, yeah, Allah would like to be
a be in that.
Doesn't mean Allah didn't answer it, but he
didn't give it to me yesterday.
What do you mean he doesn't answer it?
And his wisdom behind it, if he doesn't
answer, if he does, if he don't.
But on Yorkeliyama,
he's going to explain
why he didn't answer and why he did
answer.
Because why? Allah is.
He's always protect them. And whenever you have,
he going to that b is going to
manage your affairs
carefully.
And look how some scholars explain.
Whenever you have a lawyer, you know that
lawyer is good. He gonna represent you real
good in court.
You rely on that lawyer.
A lawyer is our.
He's gonna protect it. And what's what what
is amazing about Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, and this and I'll always continue
to say that. Just because a person does
not believe in Allah, it
does not mean that Allah won't take care
of them. He even takes care of them.
He give them what they need.
And, you know, some scholars argue
about this. I'm going to say.
Is there some people who don't believe in
the mother Allah loves?
One scholar said.
Allah had to love
because what? Even when he was a mushrik.
Why?
Because he gave him, he died.
He
came. He died.
We look at all Allah,
he said that he that Allah said that
Islam
No. It was the there was Allah. It
did that you know, Allah gave us. He
shared that Islam. No. Allah was the one
that strengthened Ummah with the deen of Allah
So how many people are walking around
that Allah has a concern for
and we should also have concern and compassion
for. So
we never know who Allah love.
I mean, one time, my teacher said a
statement.
We do not know who Allah if he
died.
We don't know. We're lying. My teacher one
time made made a profound statement. There was
a man
that
his son was eating around the the Muslim,
doing what they were fasting.
And so look at this man.
See,
he stopped his son. Hey. Stop eating. Stop.
I told you. Stop stop eating.
These people are fasting, and you're eating in
front of them. You don't want to entice
their desire
for them to break their fast. And he
would some people say he was a. Yeah.
He was a.
So he stopped eating. Now how many of
us look look at this.
Stop by children for eating in front of
people that are fasting. You don't want to
entice them. They decide, stop, son.
I told you to stop.
What happened?
The person died.
And one person had a dream, he saw
that person in the
He says, so how
did you get here? I knew you was
a person who didn't believe you. How did
you get here?
You're a person that.
How did you get here?
Look what he responded.
By me doing this action, stopping my son
from doing this,
gave me
right before he passed away.
I mean, Allah changed his heart
right before the death took place.
Now we say, how can it happen so?
Didn't did
the same to Hamzah?
Rolly Ali, he did the same thing to
Hamzah. He gave Hamzah? What? Hamza was angry
because they were ridicule, and they was and
they hurt his nephew. And what did Hamza
say? Oh, you doing that to my nephew.
Do the same to me what you do
to him. I believe in what he believe
in.
What happened? That night, he went home till
he died.
Went to sleep. Woke up.
He went woke up as what? One who
believes in that one.
So how do you walk? So we have
to be very careful.
What I'm just trying to say that
Allah is the one is your wadi in
law will handle your affairs. And know that
when he handle your affairs, your affairs is
always gonna lead to him.
He wants you to recognize his favor. I
actually gave us the beautiful story of the
boss as, as Khalil Malik, the boss of
the king. So,
what I would do next time,
I'm still gonna read you a question. You'll
see if there any questions.
But what I would do next time,
I will I will go into more detail,
but I just want to give a grammatical
structure. There's some pieces of the words that
we that Allah
used in Suratuka and Suratuka.
I'm really see.
Okay. Dear respected sisters and brothers in Islam,
sisters and brothers,
I will end in here. Thank you for
attending
the the lecture.
