There was a man walk on and Hamdulillah he led the for balena Allah Cassie rim in arriba de him meaning sada Allahu Allah Subhana Allah we moving forward in this amazing riveting chapter of the Quran like the entire Quran is. And we concluded in the previous segment, the tale story and the narrative and a brief look at the incident of Musa alayhis salam, as described by Allah subhanho wa taala. We now move on to another story and this is going to feature fairly, you know, actively in the verses to come ahead, and this is verse 15, that opens up and introduces this great prophet of Allah subhanho
wa taala. And that was Sulayman Alayhi Salatu was Salam. So there's certain mention of certain aspects which is unique to this chapter, and follow along in sha Allah, we take a cue and a reflection from every verse letter and word of the Quran. That being said, verse 15, Welaka, Tina Davao that was Soleimani.
And surely we blessed Dawood and Sulayman, father and son with knowledge, Walcott attina Indeed we blessed favored doubt and so a man with knowledge, knowledge, mere means, divine knowledge, Prophet would they both were kings, so in terms of ruling, governing kingdom, etc, likewise, and I will share with you in passing judgment for Farhana has Sulaiman
Allah had blessed them with this art inability to pass judgment, to you know, conflict resolution, to pronounce judgment on matters, etc. Allah had blessed them with this amazing art and ability. So they were they were, they were kings, they were prophets, they will obviously wise individuals. Allah had blessed this family immensely from Allah that will the chakra, I'm going to Allah Daboo the chakra, oh, the family of Tao would be grateful and a reflection here. This is of Surah to Sabah. Allah says Display gratitude. Allah didn't say push guru, right of course we need to verbally also express but the expression of the Quran is Emmylou walk the talk and of course that would
install a man Allah him I mean Allah He has Salah to with asleep. We're the most grateful servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala Dowdle is salatu salam once said to Allah, Allah He gave a scudo was Shoukry like Annamma Oh my Allah, how can I fully express my gratitude to you when gratitude is also your bounty? So you favor me with a bounty? Then I respond with gratitude, but I'm obligated to you to be grateful to you. And then Allah said to doubt I'll answer cartoni when you exhaust everything and you confess your inability then this is gratitude and interested in Earth man, it's something very beautiful written under this is very profound. Allah Masha Rama Dorothy money, Rahim Allah
writes, that when Allah favors you with a bounty, surely that's his favor. And then above that, if he grants you the ability to be grateful, then the truth be told, the ability to be grateful is greater than the bounty itself. Yes. Did you comprehend that my brother did you process that my sister did you digest that my young son, when Allah gives you an ability Allah has given you health Allah has given you well, Allah has given you prominence Allah has given you fame, Allah has given you acceptance, Allah has given you the ability to perform Salah diligently, regularly, your tahajjud your novel, etc. This is the bounty of Allah upon you, you are a generous person, you help
people you empower people. People feel good, nice Alhamdulillah that's great. That's wonderful.
And that's the nature if you're a generous person, people will will gravitate towards you people will be it's almost like a nectar it will just attract it will just attract.
Now if you are grateful on that bounty, then that actually the gratitude is greater than the bounty. Okay, let's explore amazing. Well, after the war, there was a lady mana Illuma indeed we favored blessed doubt and today, man Alayhis Salam with knowledge like I told you, sacred knowledge, divine knowledge, and that's that's the greatest interviewers often in this this famous dialogue and discussion with people with debating is worldly knowledge greater or spiritual and sacred knowledge. And then some centers and some said that
And then they sent a delegation to Abdullah bin Abdullah Salafi Allahu Allahu Allah and Abdullah bin ambassador, the Allahu anhu, who was the father of the fsid was a fountain of knowledge, who was a devout companion who was erudite and his erudition was was unanimous was unanimous. His irritation was unanimous. And he said, of course the knowledge of deen and then the envoy said insert Aluna annual hijama the Akula whom if they asked me for proof, what do I tell them? So then say the NA dilemna buzzworthy. Alana gave multiple proof and evidence and amongst that he said, he said, Well, he and NASA Hubble mal Yun Katya are the crew who are in the mode a wealthy person is wealthy and
prominent for as long as he's got money, or best case scenario for as long as he loves. Once he dies, it's over. But a person who leaves behind knowledge, his prominence and fame and recognition continues post his death as well. Number two, a wealthy person will be taken to account for every cent for every ounce for every pound. For every bill and every note for every dollar for every euro, he will be taken to account for it. While a person with Quran and Hadith who lives the life according to it, he will enjoy elevation in Astra for every verse that he conveyed and transmitted and memorized and understood and conveyed to people and for every Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and then he of course he shed many many other proof and evidence to the fact that the knowledge of deen is absolute and sacred work all Alhamdulillah he led the for balena Allah Kathy in a minute Hi by the hidden meaning. So both father and sunset Karla basic Arabic grammar it's definitely do but then when you continue reading it will, you will recite it as waka Alhamdulillah Hill lady waka Allah, they both express the praise to Allah and the gratitude to Allah Alhamdulillah All praise belongs to Allah Al hamdu in Arabic grammar stick rock as you would say, Yanni, Jamil Anwar al hunt all types of praises belongs to Allah, how to follow the hamlet Zubaan
Muhammad Meenal SLE il eBird Mata Samba Allah He Tala every word of praise and the tongue of every Praiser from the inception of time till the end of time is exclusive for Allah subhanahu wa to Allah. Oh man, I have this amazing reflection. So in Surah Yunus, Allah subhanahu wata, Allah says, Allah in Allah is utterly Allah He Jamia respect and honor belongs to Allah only.
Hakimullah mind via Quran explains so beautifully yet we see humans also respected right, but Allah says respect only belongs to Allah. So he says
in the insert Allah He Jamia woman Utara and the lady who Allah who had theta Korea Alicia MC Hatha were in nama you the hero Allah are they be known in minute to unlock for free, he assumed he must Allah tilma to hurry Yeah, oh man, I just love this. So, respect belongs to Allah exclusively. And what you see that others enjoy in the form of respect is just a glimpse of what Allah has given them. But otherwise the respect belongs to Allah. And then he gives the analogy that brightness belongs to the sun. Now you say it's brighter year and it's lighter year. It means the reflection of the rays of the sun is stronger year. It's not an independent light. It's trying to generate light
and draw light and extract light from the solar system. But effectively light and brightness belongs to the sun. And of course that's the beauty of our deen. We say the sun is not bright by itself, who will let the chocolate chips of Leah welcome or Nura right it is Allah who has given the sun the brightness, it is Allah that has given the moon the brilliance, but outwardly in the solar system. You know, it is the son that that has that that burning ball of flame and brightness and yes, whatever light you see elsewhere, is drawing from that sun. It's getting energy from that resources of nature. So honor and respect belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala what color they both said
Alhamdulillah he led the for banana. All praise belongs to Allah who has given us virtue, merit, privilege and significance. Allah cathedra me I bet the hill meaning over many of his believe in bondsman. So Father and Son expressed their gratitude to the Almighty, that Allah has given us so much above his creation, in terms of money, amazing reflection, what did they say? Allah cathedra All praise belongs to Allah, who has given us virtue over a significant number of his believing creation. Why did they not say the entire creation? Because that statement is exclusively reserved for Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the only human in the annals of history that can say I am
the best of Allah's entire creation is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as he said, what Anna Habibollah he went after her, I am the Beloved of Allah. And I say this without any pride and arrogance. Two quick incidents regarding the you know, the story of doubt and Sulaiman Alayhis Salam, and then we'll proceed
So what is just discussed here in the verses to follow? So one is Allah subhanaw taala speaks about in Surah Al Anbiya, the chapter of Prophets, Allah subhanaw taala speaks about two people who presented. And the other one that I'm going to reference is also about two litigants and two people who presented their case before Tao delay salatu salam, what is the backdrop of it Surah Ambia in the 17 Jews of the Quran, what Dawa there was Soleimani the AGCO man if you will hardly even efficient fee of animal tone. And remember the time when doubled and Sulaiman were deciding and presiding, and passing judgment over a matter. So there was this sample random, a shepherd, who left
his flock and his flock then pastured into the farm of a farmer destroying all the crops, and that is inefficient linguistically. So inefficient means that the the random and the shard are just
grazing without any shepherd, and it destroyed the entire crops. So the farmer came solderable hearth and the Sahaba hunted the shepherd, they came in, they presented, though there is Salam heard the merits of the case, he then evaluated the costs. And he discovered that the negligence of the shepherd that his sheep had strayed into the farm of the farmer, destroying the crops, the value of that crops, and the value of the flock of sheep were equal. So that will, that is ramset, to the farmer said to the shepherd, your negligence, you left your flock, so you will have to take your flock of sheep and give it to the farmer so he can offset the loss that he incurred. The judgment
was passed, the ruling was accepted. They leave the court of that would Alayhi Salatu was Salam, and they pass by Sulaiman, who is the son at that time, he was a young boy, this is mentioned in sawI, which is a commentary and in the footnotes of jalala and this is where I seen it. So in the past by Solomon Alayhis Salam he said what was the ruling in the judgment of my dad? He said your dad said due to the negligence of the shepherd
his sheep has destroyed my crops, so he must hand over his entire flock so that I can you know cover my costs. So he said okay, point taken if I was made in charge of this matter Lacava toma who are Alpha Kappa Alpha retain my judgment would have been different. Without opposing the verdict of my dad salute and respect to my dad. I just have a different view.
And this is what we refer to as editing hard. It's the hard is the thinking process of one Nabhi can differ from another nubby one Judas can differ from a nother juris. Right? Of course, the Judas must have a year Kunal mujtahid mement, la hora Yan were Illman be covered with a sugary, hotter human he is a banal urnfield Every year Jews will be not will occur me either he will be in a lady that Judas must be someone who's well anchored and he is well versed.
In fact Imam Shafi in the model Imam was shot when she wrote on mudita he kind of shuffled away to a Hakuna. I remember metacity Sharia he must be well versed on the Maqasid of the Sharia. And likewise, as the scholars have said, No unoriginal Hatfield by Jimmy are good to be as Harbin la Bucha della who HLM mezzanine fatwa, la Bucha de la jolla tele methanol fatwa Leanna Kathy Rahman Al masa le Yuja, boo and who Allah that the ugly sermon female la Johanna for Sharia. You can see this it's mentioned man amazing in the books of Iftar in Sudan if that's where I read it,
that a person can be well grounded, but he needs to be sitting under another Mufti and get the guidance and the tutelage to which he can be guided how he must pronounce rulings. So the point I'm saying it's perfectly fine with the judgment of one nebi can differ from another nubby one Judas can differ from another Judas provided it's all guided by the principles of Quran and Sunnah of course.
So when thou there is salatu salam I heard that Solomon had a different view, is that biblical oboe, whatever noble work through the agency of fatherhood and prophethood, I ask you, oh, my son, please come here. And I want to listen to your opinion. Now, let's pause for a moment. My father, my senior, my guardian, my elder, you might have a ruling and an opinion. And if your son or your younger or your junior or your student has a different opinion, are you amenable to it? Yes, I would suggest to him follow the respectful protocol, apply the sensitivity and the necessary decoration. But are you open to listen to another view? Or do you shut off? Do you shut off? Well, the nature of
cambiare him was salatu salam Wa, as I shared with you that wouldn't Solomon whom Allah lavishly praises, so So the manner in Salam said I would say to the shepherd, you take your flock
You give it to the farmer temporarily momentarily and not permanently. In the interim, you interfere available Neha was Sufi, when asleep, he will benefit from whatever birth takes place, he would draw milk from the others, whatever fur and skin, he removes, he can use it. So that will keep him going. And I would say to the shepherd, in the interim, you cultivate the land, you irrigate the land, and then you plant again and bring the crops back to the point in which it was, then you return the farm back to the farmer. So he has his crops at that point to the level in which he had lost it. In the interim, ie your flock of sheep will sustain him. And the harm that would come to you would be
minimal, because once you return the farm to Him, He will return your flock to him. Subhan Allah Sulaiman Alayhi Salatu was Salam expressed this profound judgment that with Alayhis Salam was so impressed by it. He said, I'll call ba Omar later yah, buena, yeah. Tada uma Tada etea buena, yah, oh, my son.
I now revoke and retract my verdict and I pass judgment by your judgment.
So from this we learn, we can learn from others. We can learn from people that are younger than us. We can learn from juniors we need to be open. To be obstinate and rigid is not the quality of great people. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about in the ninth Jews
in Surah tune Raff that one of the traits of the disbelievers were that farmer can only Amin will be market there will be him in trouble. Once they denied something and they refuted it. Their pride and arrogance will never allow them to accept it.
Fee the moonlit dama de Wella Jaggi wondered Rinaldi when SRA Hakim OMA and biannual Quran writes the IEA sounds a strong word and a warning, a sharp warning to condemn
being obstinate and rigid and you know, not entertaining or considering or allowing for processing a another opinion. And then he says sadly, this has become the trait of many so called scholars, law your Gerona ambassador and whom, when and why Allah when Allah Allah, Allah in Betula know that they will never have the courage to retract or revoke something they have added, because it would be you know what, against their self esteem, although the opposite has become apparent to them. We'll leave it on that note Alhamdulillah Hindi for Ballena Allah cathedra Mina, I bet they will not mean in verse 15. We've just opened up the discussion, and we're still exploring the amazing stories that
the Quran tell us about this father and son, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala that he grants us that nature, that we can be accessible, we can be amenable that people can reach out to us we can listen to people, we can give recognition to the views of others, because one of the signs of the AMA is a job only the Orion II here where every person will become obsessed with his own opinion.
