			shaytani r rajim Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim Allah Allahu Allah Moby my libido lovoo voluble sama
one to one, I will sleep it will be he will ask me, madam
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			Dhoni him
		
00:00:37 --> 00:01:31
			You should eat coffee How can me he had sort of a love love him. We concluded verse number 25
yesterday in which Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the duration of their stay in the cave, will
it be through and they stayed fi caffee him in the cave fella semi atin three centuries was the
duties are and they added a another nine and we also expounded on the wisdom of the adoption of this
expression. So Allah subhanho wa Taala did not say 309 but Allah subhanho wa Taala said 300 and they
added nine and that was to incorporate the solar and the lunar calendar. By the solar count. It was
three centuries by the lunar count it was 309 we move on to verse 26. But before we do that, yet
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			again, another reflection, which I came across in futa Farsi
		
00:01:36 --> 00:02:29
			when it came to the duration that they slept, and their subsequent awakening, Allah subhanho wa
Taala explicitly spelled out the period. So it wasn't vague. It was unequivocal it was clear it was
categoric. It was you know what clear print wallaby Sufi coffee him Salah semi attain 300 years,
three centuries, yet when it came to the number, then Allah subhanho wa Taala released a hint that
they were seven and Allah did not explicitly say there were seven, Allah quoted or mentioned three
different views that people say one is the view so yopu Luna thalassa turabian home kalba home where
your bow Luna concert on se room caliber home some argue they are three and the dog was the fourth
		
00:02:29 --> 00:03:16
			others argue they were five in the dog made it six and then those two Allah refuted and then Allah
subhanho wa Taala said why am Paul known as a baritone with me know whom caribou and some say they
were seven and what the dog was ate and then Allah subhanaw taala did not comment on this opinion,
which itself is suggestive of the fact that this is the correct view. So the scholars analyze the to
that with regards to the exact number the most we can say the Quran released a hint that it was
seven and of course Abdullah Abbas or the Allah Allah mustard seed supports that view ganhou
seberang wa and Amina Colleen, it's into Raman su abohar, it makes mention of the narration that
		
00:03:16 --> 00:04:09
			they were seven and I am amongst the few that Allah has referred to. But none can argue that the
Quran has not categorically explicitly mentioned there were seven. Yet when it came to the duration
of the slave Allah explicitly said 309 years, why the difference in the two and again, the scholars
bring to the fore the same argument that the aspect of the pro long sleep was a point that needed to
be driven, impressed, amplified and magnified, because it is a reflection of the Grand year the
magnanimity the power, the the qudra and the mind of Allah. That this is how long Allah gave them
sleep yet Allah kept them alive, alive, Allah kept them safe and intact. And as far as the argument
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:59
			of the number that was not of such relevance, because it was still a manifestation of the power of
Allah, whether they were three or they were five, or they were seven. So we need to understand this
year and we need to climate ties to this teaching of the Quran that focus on the key points focus on
that, which is connected to the guidance and do not pre occupy yourself in other related
information, which in principle is not of such importance and significance. So I found that quite
amazing and profound by the deduction of the scholars. We move on to verse 26. Allah subhanho wa
Taala says pullela mo Bhima
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:50
			To say unto them, surely Allah knows best, how long they stayed in the cave, how long they slept.
So, in verse number 25, Allah is saying they stayed and slept for 309 years. And in verse number 26,
Allah is saying, Tell them all Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam surely Allah knows Allah, Allah
knows Allah knows best Bhima for the duration lebih through the state. So what's the reconciliation?
It is categorically explicitly mentioned in the preceding verse, and in the subsequent verse, Allah
subhanho wa Taala is saying, Allah knows best. What is the duration? Bhargavi Rahim Allah and I came
across this intern virual at the hand, he says that the duration of this leap was 309. But oh
		
00:05:50 --> 00:06:34
			Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam. If some of them still choose to argue, and they counter argue, and
they say no, well actually tell them you know what, Allah knows it. Allah knows the reality. Move
on. Don't stagnate with them. In this argument, you've conveyed the message. You've impressed upon
them the greatness of Allah move on Allah, Allah moody Mallaby through just like we discussed
yesterday in verse number 22. fella tomography him Illa, mira and ba hero. Don't embroil yourself,
don't entangle yourself in a feud in an argument in an altercation with them while at a stuffy
minima hada and do not inquire of them any more details, because what Allah has conveyed to you is
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:49
			sufficient, and whatever else they might give you through other narrations, or whatever is
unimportant, because whatever is important was conveyed to you through Quran through Wahid, the
absolute authentic narration, or absolutely authentic revelation.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:37
			So we learn from this my brother and we learn from this my sister, that you know what you in a
debate in a discussion in an argument, you can present your facts present your points, but if
somebody wants to argue and persist, and he is adamant and obstinate, then convey the facts and move
on Colella who are alemu Bhima lobby through verse number 26. I told you that they stayed for 309
years. But if you still want to argue tell them oh Mohammed Salah ism, Allah knows the reality? And
why will Allah not know it? Why will Allah not know it? Now, you know what, when when you study
astronomy, then they talk of The Big Bang Theory and the major explosion. And then they they talk of
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:28
			astronauts that went to the moon and the dust on the moon. And in so many light years, dust settles
on the moon and based on that, they make these calculations that the world or the universe dates
back to so many hundreds of millions of years. And you just have zeros and zeros and zeros. That's
basically what it is inconceivable numbers and digits that come to mind. And again, this is nothing
but a ruiner in love one. This is an assumption. This is an assumption. This is your estimation.
This is your calculation. Allah subhanaw taala knows everything with precision with precision with
absolute detail. So why will Allah not you know, Why will I lie? Yeah, Allah man hallak Wow, I just
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			have a flesh of this verse Surah Al mulk, right. 29 jos?
		
00:08:33 --> 00:09:12
			Allah Allah, Allah, will he not know who created it? The one who created will he not know? People
are arguing No, no, this child is like this or he's like that. That's a sibling. That's a neighbor
that's appear that's a relative. And then you say Wait, wait, wait years, the mother the mother will
know best. The mother will know best. She is the mother she bought the child. If the mother is the
most accepted authority, because she gave birth that's her biological son and rightfully so from
human she'll have the most info. Then what about Allah Who created what about Allah Who created
Allah? Allah moment?
		
00:09:13 --> 00:10:00
			The one who created will he not know? And hence he knows every emotion of yours, my brother. He
knows every emotion of yours. I mean, even Abdullah Tommy I love goat in his words ilahi holla

pulley Allahu Allah Moby Mallaby through that's a portion of verse 26. On that note, the tail of the
sleepest kind of wraps up and gets concluded. Of course, the chapter continues, the incarnate story
is still to come ahead. And we are also mentioned that Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the
repugnance of Allah.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:36

			da came and she was complaining about her husband always been cemented the Allah when I know which
prompted the revelation of the opening verses of the twin ages of the Quran. Namely, the very name
of that chapter is known as moja della which means mutual argumentation, because she came requesting
for some concession or abrogation in the existing rule in with regards to talaq and divorce because
she needed you know, her husband back and he had issued a divorce. And then she said that if
Natasha, Bobby, the satola, who Bethany had covered Sydney, one of our diva hominy that my husband
has given me divorced and now my my youth has faded away, I have given birth to the kids. If I keep
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:49
			the kids with me, I don't have any finance and he keeps the kids with him, then they are neglected.
I will never you have Allah is there any hope for me and the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said that
the verses have been revealed while you are now forbidden for him because that was how the luck was
given. And she kept on presenting her requests until the verses were revealed.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			But there's something I love
		
00:16:52 --> 00:17:50
			it too john McAfee is oj Stuckey illallah wa la jolla smell hota hai wala Kuma in Allah has sent me

level altogether. And I inshallah Allah, Allah says, she is talking to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and I kind of hear the murmur and the whisper and the back and forth, and I couldn't
grasp the details in its entirety. And then revelation comes down what all details and that is how
all encompassing how all encompassing is the urine of Allah subhanho wa Taala Of course we do not we
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:40
			do not visualize Allah is free from all organs and lums laser cam mythically he shade a verse of the
25 jewels of the Quran and into academics and grammar welcome fossa, Ada Welker fossa ADA, right.
This is for those who will appreciate Arabic grammar and context. There is no equal to Allah there
is no equal to Allah. Allah is unique he years and but he's free from eyes he years but he's three
from your ears. Allah subhanho wa Taala is led to the ricola bizarre Who are you reckon absorbed?
Okay, so let's move on. We still busy with verse 26. As you may be, he will obviously Allah Zirin is
complete. Allah seen his complete Mullah whom mean don't he me, Willie, the creation does not have
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:44
			any help or protector or guardian besides Allah.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:19:29
			The creation so if you had a fallout with anyone, you can get Shelter by Allah. But if you had a
fallout with Allah, you cannot get sheltered by anyone. Simple as that my brother, you had a fallout
with your spouse, you can turn to your Creator and he will help you. You had you were retrenched.
You were laid off, you were dismissed from your employment. You know what economically it's a
crunch. It's biting on you. You've been dejected you've been you know what humiliated you've been
violated. You've been betrayed by your own near and dear ones, and you feel so hurt and internally
distraught. You can turn to Allah and you will find shelter, protection, comfort and consolation.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:59
			But if you are at war with Allah, you are at war with Allah. You are committing haram perpetrating
the offense living a life of promiscuity, living a life of consuming haram your dealings are haram
you doing wrong? You are cheating, you are fraudulent, you are deceiving. And then you say no, no,
you know what? Well I have a backup I have a friends I have an army. No one can give you shelter
when Allah subhanho wa Taala is going to you know ally is angry with you now.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:53
			Nobody Nobody can give you a shelter. So my Allahu menthone me while he the creation has no helper
Guardian protector besides Allah, Allah usually Kofi How can he alpha and Allah does not include in
his command anyone there is no body that is a partner to him in his command meaning there's no
machine to him well ah and he does not usually go Osaka usually go israa include or you know what
partnership there's no partnership fee hook me he in his command in his decree haha anyone? Why so
beautifully written in one of the seed league Kamali? karate he arranges he has a shadow who Allah
Akbar Lika Malika durante I consult. Why? Because my understanding is so limited. And let me let me
		
00:20:53 --> 00:21:39
			pause for a moment and say to myself and remind myself and one in all. As humans, it is so vital, it
is so integral that in all matters, especially matters of significance, we take an opinion, because
we have one eye one look one vision one side, and you know what, anything just running through your
spouse running through your children running through your parents, and get their opinion and there's
a different perspective to it. Our vision is so limited, our understanding is so narrow, and how
often when we consult we realize, oh wow, what a different angle. It never crossed my mind. It never
dawned upon me. But Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah usually Kofi hook me. There is no partnership in
		
00:21:39 --> 00:22:36
			his command. Li command, t because his power is perfect is in finite, is grandia is the greatest and
Lee read Ziva at every one Besides, Allah is feeble. Remember this year. So this is the message of
the Quran. The Quran when you talk of the galaxies, and the constellation, and the Milky Way's and
the atmosphere and I'm just talking about, you know, the cosmic world and related mysteries. Allah
subhanho wa Taala repeatedly impresses that whatever greatness brilliance you see in this
atmosphere, it is me who has placed it in. So astronomers tell you that in the diameter of the sun
and not in the ball of the sun, right 109 Earth skin fit in it? Yes, that's what astronomers tell
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:55
			you. And in the ball of the sun, or hundreds, and I don't know how many can fit in it. So just in
the diameter of the sun, that's how huge the sun is. That's what astronomers tell us, is 109 Earth.
Now what does Allah tell us? Who will levy gyla shumsa.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:48
			A verse of the 11. Josue knows that sun is not bright by itself. It is me that has made it bright.

grant us the reliance on the promises of Allah. We we put so much conviction on the promises of
others, yet you know what, it's subject to the compliance to the delivery to the
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:24
			Commitment etc or not. But when it comes to the promises of Allah, then it is absolute and it is
permanent. And that is the aim that we need to have trust in the promises of Allah. And we need to
fear the warnings of Allah. May Allah grant us the understanding. I mean, you're a blind I mean, was
