Yes, we concluded on the note where these
evil, wicked, nasty
individuals
had,
embarked on their wicked mission,
with the evil motive to assassinate
a Nibi. Can you imagine how evil an
individual has to be
to to,
plan and plot,
and orchestrate
the killing and the assassination
of a prophet?
So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said the disbelievers
said to their prophets respectively in the different
time era and
age. We will expel you.
We will expel you. We will banish you.
We will ostracize you, we will drive you
out of our land.
But in the end, Allah drove them out.
They were evicted and they were wiped out
just not from the land but from the
face of the Earth. So let's see what
happens here. Verse 50.
So this is Mabri.
They had plotted Makran
which comes
they had their play
uh-uh plan in place. Like firm.
You know, in Suratul Noon, in Suratul Kalam,
when those brothers who who,
inherited the orchard from their father and again,
it was in Sanah in in in,
in in Yemen as we're speaking about Beltis.
This is geographical location as explored by the
experts on the exegesis of the Quran.
And,
They said we're getting up in the morning.
We're gonna harvest the crop and, we're gonna
do this and, the poor won't get anything.
And they made no exceptions. Like, we're on
top of this plan. You know, if but
what if what what happens if this happened?
No. No. They had no ifs and buts.
They had no considerations
of any,
anything to happen otherwise. They were so certain
and convinced.
I'm gonna do this. I'll show you.
Sometimes your overconfidence in life can be very
expensive.
I'm the one to decide who will get
the job, and the next best thing is
you looking for a job.
I will decide on the proposal and the
next best thing you looking for the proposal.
Don't ever be certain on anything.
Allah is Allah has absolute knowledge. Allah has
absolute.
Humans in every endeavor, oh, Allah, you guide
it. Oh, Allah, you you put goodness in
it. Oh, Allah, you bless it.
You think your job is secured. You think
the trip is secured.
You think the deal is secured. No. No.
Nobody's gonna out buy me. I'll I'll I'll
I'll put the highest bid on the auction.
So, like, you know what? I'm I'm I'm
I'm the key player. I'm the main person.
No. No. No. No. Nothing. Allah is absolute.
Here they plot in evil,
and they feel that they're in control over
it. Makarum, Makran.
They plotted their plot. Or Makarna.
Makran.
And we had our plot and scheme and
plan in place.
Verse 50. And they were clueless.
They were unaware. They were oblivious.
They had no idea regarding our plan.
So they come,
according to the narration of Duraman Thuzoor as
they approach
and they come. And, subhanallah, look at this.
Allah gives grace and respite
till the last moment, like, till the last
moment. So, yeah, I'm having a flash. Right?
Said, now Musa alayhi salam strikes the water
and then the water opens up and cross
and Musa alayhi salam crosses. And Musa alayhi
salam and his people cross over.
Allah, by his wisdom, doesn't cause the water
to close upon them before pharaoh enters the
water. No. No. Allah allows him to get
into the water.
So he gets into the water. Pharaoh and
his army are pursuing
pursuing when they get in. In fact, narrations
suggest pharaoh was kinda halfway through. And,
you know,
outwardly, it would look like, you know what,
it's happening for them as well.
In in fact, in
in where he writes,
you know, the typical
body language a pharaoh would be when he's
seeing the water splitting,
he would say,
Just look at the water. Even the water
knows that I've made my presence. So even
the water is is moving up and changing
direction so that I can intercept these people.
That was the kind of arrogance, and Allah
gives grace still that last moment. So pharaoh
gets in. Within his army gets in, and
they cross in swiftly, and they're in confident.
Look at them. I mean, who said this
is a miracle to Moses? It's for us
as well. We enjoy the same privileges and
perks. And then when they got in the
dead center and the last person of the
army of pharaoh was inside,
then how do I translate as the Quran
says,
And did the water then envelope them? And
did you know, and did he learn a
lesson of life?
And did he learn a oh, my word.
Oh, my world. What a lesson of life.
Goodness.
And did the water envelope him and the
manner in which it enveloped him.
The believers. But it was said to him,
Al'an,
you've missed the boat,
you've missed the train, too late.
Alaan Waqadda Asayd, you're arrogant person. Too late.
So they come, these 9 people plotting
the assassination of Salih alayhis salaam. Allah is
aware of their plan. They are unaware of
the plan of Allah. They come to the
house. Allah allows that to occur. Let's make
a distinction here.
There's a distinction and there's a difference between
allowance and approval.
An examiner
allows
a student
to
write the incorrect answer. He doesn't approve it.
In an oral examination,
you question a student, he answers the incorrect
answer.
You're not going to tell him anything about
it. It would be foolish and naive of
him to say, oh, well, my teacher didn't
rebuke me. So I think my answer was
right. I was walking in the,
examiner passed by me and he seen what
I was writing. He said, oh, okay. You're
writing. Good luck. Oh, okay.
Good luck. All the best. So I assume
my answer is right. No. It's an examination.
I'm not gonna tell you what is right
and wrong when when I when I,
you know, what examined the paper and then
I marked the paper, that's the time you
will realize and discover what was correct and
what was incorrect.
In this world Allah
disapproves
of disbelief.
It is wrong.
Allah is not pleased. Allah does not accept,
disbelief
but yes, Allah allows it to happen. Allah
disapproves
and dislikes and despises oppression and tyranny, but
it's a world things occur. So there's a
difference between allowance and approval.
There's a difference between allowance and approval.
So they come right up to the house
of salaam
and they are confident. We're in control. We're
gonna do this here. According to the narration
of Duram Mansoor, as they come close,
Allah causes a boulder to roll on them
and crush them from nowhere.
Like, you know, they didn't plan or assume.
You know, you say it's a freak accident.
It's a freak accident.
Freak accident is like, oh, so strange. Never
thought of,
the the lorry or the truck was parked
there. And suddenly, you know, the hand brakes
just failed. And the and the lorry just
came rolling.
And oops, there was a accident, and there
was a casualty, and a life was lost.
Now who do you hold responsible
because it was parked correctly or whatever had
happened? I'm just giving a freak accident, a
freak. A boulder falls and that's the end
of them.
In
the concluding verses
of of Surah Al Hajr.
Allah
said and we had sufficed for you against
those who were blasphemous against you. In
in the name of these 5 disbelievers are
mentioned.
One suffered a boil under his armpit which
became fatal and claimed his life. The other
one, was walking, and he stumbled over something,
and it became fatal, and he claimed his
life. A third one vomited something, and that
became fatal. You know, like, completely freak and
that was the end of it.
They plotted.
We had our plan in place.
And they had no idea. They had no
idea.
So look, reflect, pause, ponder and introspect.
What was the outcome?
What was the outcome of their plan? It
destroyed them.
The one who plots an evil,
it envelopes the plotter himself.
The Arabic proverb is
The one who digs a hole for his
brother, the chances are he'll fall in it
first.
Yes.
The one who digs a hole. Remember that,
my brother, and remember that, my sister.
Don't put a thorn in someone's path. Don't
put a glass in someone's path. Don't let
someone stumble.
Islam teaches
us that we must remove obstacles from a
path.
Sahaba was sitting and Nabi
said don't sit on the pathway.
So they said
of Allah we do sit here and we
just you know have some casual discussions.
He said, for in abaytum illatareek,
if you are insisting to sit in this
way here, then make sure you discharge the
obligations of the pathway.
La ilaha
illallah.
Did you hear that, my brother? Did you
get that, my sister? The richness of our
deen? Discharge the obligations of the road. What
is it?
Lower your gaze.
Move an obstacle from the road.
Initiate a greeting and respond to a greeting.
There are rights to the pathway.
So Islam teaches us
to move
an
obstacle from the path.
How would it be correct then for us
to become an obstacle?
The one who plots evil, it will come
back. It might not happen immediately.
You try to deny someone a job. You
try to deny someone a good proposal. You
try to put a blockage for someone. What
is something that is merited and it's it's
it's structured and you're saving someone because you
know the person has a history. No. Listen.
Don't do dealings with him. I've burnt my
fingers. That's separate. That's important. That's transparency. And
that doesn't fall under the chapter of of
ghiba, the olam I have written this here.
But what is you just been nasty and
malicious and obnoxious?
We destroyed them. And
his entire nation. So these 9 individuals were
gripped by the boulder, and the remaining part
of the nation were destroyed by
They were gripped by
two forms of torment the Quran speaks. 1
is for
a quake, a tremor,
that that that, you know, shook the the
the land in which they were, and a
scream and a cry, an awful cry from
an angel, which was so loud and intense
that their hearts burst.
So it was a, you know, you they
were struck on both sides. You you you're
driving.
It's raining buckets,
right? It's hailing, and then there's a major
accident on the road. Now can you imagine
the delay? There's a major accident and there's
rain. Either of the 2 would be adequate
to to to to create a delay. And
when it's both, what would happen? So there's
a tremor, there's a earthquake, and then there's
this, awful cry and and loud cry and
and and scream, which results in in in
so,
you know, the sound is so loud,
that it just burst their hearts and they
all pass on.
Then passes by as he leaves from there,
according to Jalalain,
that those that were rescued with him, the
believers were 4,000.
According to Jalalain, that salih alayhi salaam and
his believers comprised of 4,000.
So as he's leaving, he then looks at
his people and he says,
Oh my people. He's looking. He's walking past.
He's he's he's looking at the corpse and
saying, you know, but I advised you, but
you refuse to accept advice. You refuse to
advise accept advice. Allah speaks about Shoaib alaihis
salam
After his nation was destroyed, he passed by
the body and the corpse and he said,
oh, but I advised you.
How do I lament the faith of people
who refuse to believe? You know, sometimes you're
telling your son something, he doesn't listen and
then there's consequences.
He he he he hurt himself badly. He's
now lying on the hospital bed. He's unconscious
and you sit in there and you are
tearing over his pain. You are gently passing
your hand over and then you are talking
to him, but I told you my love.
I told you my son. I warned you
so much. And remember, our father's affection is
so much. Nabi alayhi salatu wa salam.
Khaliib Badar Badar is actually the name of
a well. Badar is the name of a
well. Right? The bodies of the disbelievers were
dropped into the well.
And then Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam came to
them and said, oh, so and so. Oh,
so and so. So now are you convinced
what I told you?
Did you realize I was speaking the truth?
And the sahaba said only be of Allah
are they are they understanding what you're saying?
Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam said by Allah
they are listening more than you. The only
thing is they cannot reply.
Right?
Sima'al Mota is the whole academic discussion where
the dead can hear, etcetera.
So they were destroyed by the boulder, the
rest of the nation as I explained by
the tremor and of course the awful cry.
You're their homes and their dwellings and their
ruins just lie.
Because of their wrongdoing and their evil.
In that day is a sign.
As mentioned in Jalalayin. For people who know,
understand, and comprehend our might, our power, and
our authority. So we give grace, we give
respite, and then when we seize and we
strike, then there is no escaping from the
grip of Allah
wa'anjainal ladheenaamanu
wakanu yat taqoon. And of course we gave
deliverance to the believers,
and those who brought iman. And as I
mentioned there were 4,000 in number. Waqanu yat
taqoon.
Now, the ruins of Thamud
was on,
the travel journey
of the people of Makkah. When they used
to travel from Makkah and they used to
go to
Syria which was the economic hub, they used
to pass by these dwellings and these, locations,
and hence the hadith of Bukhari, the prophet
said,
when you pass by when you pass by,
the dwellings of people who have oppressed themselves
then,
do so in a manner that you are
crying.
Don't enter the dwellings and the homes and
the locations
and cities of people who disobeyed Allah and
Allah destroyed them but that you tear.
Least you are struck by that which struck
them.
And Allah had had alerted them that this
is on your journey
daily.
Oh, you, the people of Mecca. Don't be
proud and arrogant. Look at those before you
who are proud and arrogant. We wipe them
out.
Sometimes in our own neighborhood, you've seen a
person who thought he had so much, then
he just went down, then his life went,
then his whole estate was wiped out, then
it was a complete change of people moving
into that place. You see in a whole
like a era turn, he was here. It
was a house of glory, prosperity, glamour. Everything
would happen. There would be like a fleet
of cars here. There would be a helipad
here, a chopper landing, ministers wow. Wow. And
next best thing, there was a hearse there.
Every home, regardless of how prolonged its prosperity
is, one day sadness will grip it and
seize it.
A believer is one who looks around and
heeds the warning.
Blessed indeed is he who takes a cue
and a life lesson from the happenings
of others.
