So in the preceding verses, Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala reminded us about the
speaking about the beast that will emerge from
Mount Safa that would be close-up to
and then what would happen to the criminals
on the day of
Now for the disbelievers, they always considered resurrection
to be remote and far fetched. Well, you
Allah
gives us in verse 86 a perfect example
of a mini form of resurrection
that occurs
in our lives daily. Yes. Reflect verse 86
out of the 93 verses of chapter 27.
Reflect
that we have made the night,
in which they can rest in peace.
And we've made the night bright we've made
the day bright in which they can see.
So the sign of the night is darkness.
The sign of the day is brightness.
Just like Allah makes mention in Juz 15
chapter
17 verse 12.
And we've made the night and the day
two signs.
We've darkened the sign of the night.
And the sign of the day is brightness.
So in the night, you want darkness. If
you go to sleep in the day, you
wanna create a sense of darkness. And if
you're up at night, you wanna create the
brightness of the day. So humans need both
the darkness and the night. So verse 86.
Don't they ponder, they go to sleep, they
rest, and the sleep of this is a.
It's
a type of death.
Some people are in such deep and slumber,
they are completely out of it.
As we would talk about,
in fiqh, that when you go to sleep,
why sleep also
nullifies your because
your limbs become lame and weak and you
lose focus because now you're completely out of
it. So completely you're gone, you're in sleep,
and no moon. You know, slumber followed by
deep sleep.
And then in the morning when you get
up, what's the dua that we read? Alhamdulillahi
laddi ahyana badama a matana.
All praise belongs to Allah who revived us
after our death.
And to him is the ultimate
resurrection.
So revived us, that means it was a
kind of death. So, oh man, if only
you ponder and apply your mind, you would
realize
that you are experiencing
death
and resurrection
daily. Yes. Provided you heed the call. And
that's exactly what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says.
There are so many signs in this. How
you tired? How you exhausted? How you fall
off to sleep? How that sleep
rejuvenates you and then you get fresh and
it's a new day with a new start.
And how that sleep can just bring calmness
to the mind. May Allah make it easy
because insomnia is a condition today that has
paralyzed many people. May Allah grant ease and
a half year to 1 and all.
Building up to
verse 87, remember the day when the horn
and the trumpet will be blown.
What will be the effect of this trumpet
being blown?
Everyone in the heavens and the earth will
be terrified.
And in another verse,
will become
unconscious.
With the exception,
whom Allah excludes
that the blowing of the trumpet will not
terrify them, and this refers to, as mentioned
in the narrations, Jibril, Micahil, Israel,
and Hamalatul
Aarsh, the angels holding the throne of Allah.
So by the blowing of the trumpet,
they will not be terrified like everybody else
will be terrified and they will pass on.
However,
after that, they also will,
you know, experience death. They will also experience
death and the entire creation.
Everyone everyone,
will will pass on with the exception of
the bean of Allah.
Verse 87, those in the heavens and the
earth will be
terrified
with the exception of whom Allah wills.
And all will come to him in humility.
Everyone will appear before Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
as a servant and a slave.
And you see the mountains. And this is
the beauty of the Arabic. If you know
basic, Torah can mean you currently see or
you will see. Meaning Hal and
and you see the mountains.
You consider and perceive them to be fixed,
anchored, and stationary.
Right? Stationary.
But on that day,
these huge, gigantic,
humongous mountains will be moving like,
clouds.
Like puffed cotton.
And you see the mountain.
Chapter 20
and they ask you regarding the mountains.
Tell them
my lord will reduce it to dust, to
ashes, to smithereens.
Yes.
The earth will be leveled into one plane.
The earth will be changed into a different
land
altogether.
And everyone will have to appear before the
mighty and the absolute.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. May Allah make it
easy for us at that time of hisab.
This is the doing of Allah who has
perfected
everything,
who has perfected everything.
And it is part of this year that
in his creation
it is flawless, how perfect he has created
everything.
He has
the ability to give strength to the weak,
and he can also weaken the mighty.
So this baby, sometimes you have
a premature child
born early
And then Allah gives that child so much
strength
that,
he surpasses his peers.
So he was a short term baby. He
was not a full term baby, born the
7th month, tiny, you know what, in the
incubator, so small. But subhanallah, Allah gives this
weak, small infant so much strength he grows
up, and he becomes tall and lanky and
strength and muscular. Allah
My word. Allah created you from weakness.
After that weakness, he gave you strength and
might. Now you're getting weight, pumping iron. You're
in the gym. You got muscle. You got
cloud. You got biceps. It's all developed.
And then that old age is followed by
weakness and and
and
old
age.
So these mountains, as huge they are, but
on that day, it would be reduced to
dust.
For on that day, the skies will be
weak and they will crumble
When the sun will lose its brightness.
When the stars will collapse.
The mountains will move.
When a full term pregnant camel will be
roaming freely.
When the souls will be paired up with
the bodies.
Okay.
He is acquainted,
aware,
knowledgeable,
watchful
of whatever you do.
Yes, He knows exactly what you're doing.
Allah concludes
the 5th Jews of the Quran.
Suratul Nizah.
Allah says, I appreciate and I know. In
the world, you get some people who don't
appreciate
and then you get some people who appreciate,
but then, well, you know what? It's strange.
When you're working, the boss is not coming
and and and and checking on the staff.
And just when he walks in, you take
in your tea break. So now it's it's,
you know, so strange, like, you would toil
in the whole day and he happens to
come at the time when, you decided to
take the break. Allah is a way of
all your actions
and he is one who appreciates.
Hence, when the dwellers of Jannah will enter
Jannah, may Allah make us from amongst them.
All praise belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
who has taken grief away from us and
our Lord is one who appreciates.
So here's the appreciation of Allah. He's giving
it to you and he's telling it to
you.
Whoever comes with a good action. Now, ponder
here, this is mentioned in Al Bahruul Muheet.
Allah did not say whoever performs a good
action. Allah says whoever brings it. That means
you need to perform it in this world,
preserve it, and bring it along with you.
And how do you preserve it? You don't
invalidate it by negative actions, by evil actions.
Do not invalidate and destroy your virtue by
reminders of generosity.
So you did an act of kindness and
then you're harping about it,
then you've destroyed it. 3 people will not
enter Jannah.
1 who destroys his good by reminders of
generosity.
Number 2, one who promotes an item through
a false oath.
This is the best item in the market.
I'm giving it to you at at at
at a very good rate. I promise you
no one else
why take a false oath? Why take
The hadith of Bukhari.
Buyer and seller are honest and transparent.
Allah will bless the deal. But if they
lie and they conceal, then the blessings will
be, snatched away from that transaction.
Okay. So that's the second person.
And the person, the male who allows his
upper garment to dangle below his ankles,
The male who allows his upper garment to
dangle below his ankle.
The one who brings it. That means you
gotta preserve it, don't destroy it. You backbiting
about someone, it's going to weaken. It's going
to destroy your good actions.
You'll get better than what you brought. So
obviously Allah will give you eternal Jannah
in place of the good action.
And they will be granted safety against
the horror and the terror and the panic
of that day. May Allah make us from
amongst those people.
They will be saved from the supreme horror
of the day of Qiyama, and the angels
will welcome them.
But on the reverse,
the one who perpetrates evil and brings it
along. So, again, that means you died with
it. If a person did say he ain't
this world, but he made he repented, he
made tawba, He brought iman. Then he will
not be bringing the evil with him because
he left it behind. By virtue of faith
and iman and submission,
it will clear out and delete his evil
records.
They will be thrown headlong into the fire,
and it would be said to them, may
Allah save us. May Allah save us. We
cannot rejoice
because we all are in an examination.
It's foolish to rejoice
before you've completed your paper and before you've
received your marks.
The joy and the absolute is once you
know that your paper has been examined and
you have excelled. But as for now, we
all are going through exams.
The retribution
that is been given to you is,
in relation to what you did in this
world. You are not being retributed
but for that which you did in this
world.
And as we draw towards the concluding verses
of this chapter 27,
Allah,
says to the prophet
to say,
Verily I have been instructed, and 'Abu' Buddha
to worship.
The Lord of Al Belda, this city, Al
Belda aliflammahood,
which we all know is Maqamukarrama.
And, of course, Allah is the Lord of
the entire world. Rab bin Nas, the Lord
of mankind. Malikin Nas, the king of mankind.
The morning the lord of morning.
He is the lord of everything, but it
explains the sanctity
and the sacred nature of Makkah, Mukherama.
I have been instructed,
to worship the Lord of this land.
Allah has made this place sacred,
the sanctity of Makkah.
Whoever enters into the precincts of the Haram,
he is safe.
You cannot hunt when you are in the
state of Ihram or you are in the
surroundings of the Ihram,
so which
has given it that that that sense of
respect and veneration.
And to Allah belongs everything. To Allah belongs
everything.
And, yes, I have been instructed to be
from amongst those that submit and surrender.
When Allah said to Sayyidina Ibrahim, submit, he
said, submitted. And that's probably the takeaway message,
my brother and my sister.
Ramadan is a month in which we increase
in virtue. We try to our level best
to,
regulate our lives by the command of Allah,
by rising early for suhoor, by completing it
with a nocturnal prayer, by engaging in worship,
a life of submission.
We came in this world by the will
of Allah. We will live by the will
of Allah. Why not live by the will
of Allah? I didn't come on earth when
I decided nor will I die when I
wish. It's going to happen, you know, at
the time Allah has decreed for each one
of us and may Allah make it easy
for us. So the challenge is now to
live by the will of Allah. And if
we live by the will of Allah, he
has promised us that
in paradise will be the abode of that
person. So I have been instructed to be
from amongst those, and, of course, the prophet
displayed the greatest level of submission and humility.
And I have been instructed to recite the
verse to recite the Quran, and he
would engage in the recitation of the Quran
both in prayer and outside of prayer. One
cannot begin to imagine the beauty of those
moments.
In the first volume, Abdullah bin Rawah radiAllahu
anhu says,
we had the privilege, the honor that amongst
us was the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
As mentioned in Surat Al Hujurat.
He
would be reciting the Quran
As it would be the pierce of dawn,
the crack of dawn, the flash of dawn.
He showed us guidance after we were living
a life of blindness.
We know with certainty
what he has prophesied is inevitable.
So Quran
it's so beautiful
that we had this atmosphere
of the homes reverberating,
and the corridors
sounding the words of recitation of the Quran.
You know, wherever you go in the Masjid,
the elderly folk, the young folks, the children,
the woman at all. It's such a beautiful
scene.
Everyone is holding their.
In fact, you would see people traveling, flying,
people hopping onto trains and tubes,
at at,
hopping onto a coach or a bus or
a flight. I remember we were traveling in
Ramadan,
to Aqsa
and the flight,
from Egypt to Jordan.
You know, subhanallah,
the the the the steward for the entire
flight because everyone was fasting, so there was
no service in place,
and you know,
the entire flight he was in Quran. It
was so soothing. It was so beautiful.
Everyone just holding on to their and reciting.
May Allah allow that to continue
because that is the spirit of a believer.
Quran.
Whoever is guided is guided for his own
benefit.
And whoever goes astray in another verse of
the Quran
The harm is to himself.
Say unto them, I am from amongst the
warners.
And hence the prophet
has warned us. And I've reminded you previously
that
means warning with love and compassion,
and He discharged that
obligation
with absolute precision and perfection.
What was those final utterances?
And I cannot even imagine
that emotion
at when he said to his,
Saluni, ask me, I doubt we're going to
meet you again. I doubt we're going to
meet you again.
Learn from me the rituals of Hajj. So
the word in the context of Quran appears
in 3 terms. It could either come in
the meaning of worship.
Or it could come in the context of
the rituals of slaughter and sacrifice.
Or it could come in the context of
the rituals of Hajj.
And he said
learn from me Hajj, we will not be
meeting again. And can you imagine how emotional
and then he delivered the final final,
sermon and he
said,
have I conveyed? Have I conveyed? Have I
conveyed? And the Sahaba said,
you conveyed with diligence, with precision in its
most wholesome form everything.
And said Allah.
Allah, you be the witness. Allah, you be
the witness. And what were his last words?
What were his last words as he left
and as we conclude this chapter of the
Quran? Let me read to you the last
verse and then conclude on the final words
of our Habib sallallahu alaihi wasallam
as we conclude on that emotional note.
Verse 93 and say, oh, Muhammad
all praise belongs to Allah
on every regard, his bounties, his favors,
that he has given upon us.
Soon he will show you his verses and
his signs. He will show you his signs,
meaning the signs of Qiyama.
Or he will show you the signs of
his oneness. He will show you the sign
of of of the truth of Islam.
You will recognize it.
The signs, the proof, the witness, the miracles,
the testimonies
of the absolute truth of Islam, provided the
heart is not deviated as I told you
previously.
Don't allow the heart to deviate. If the
heart deviates,
then then you are you're going to you're
going to be left confused.
If if if, if a person's inner nature
is distorted and corrupted, then he's only looking
for evil.
When the hearts are clean and clear, the
Koran is pure. Islam is only wholesome. Islam
is only wholesome. Islam is perfect. Islam is
flawless.
However, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said there are
certain verses in the Quran that are allegorical.
If there's if there's crookedness in your heart,
there's distortion, there's corruption in your heart, then
you will insist and persist, but why? But
how come? But what's the reason? Look at
the clear cut verses.
Believe in everything. Islam is absolute.
We say this here, as the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam said, I invite to Islam.
With sound mind, with clear conviction, with absolute
understanding,
with total comprehension
that this is the path of Allah and
this is the correct path.
And that concludes this amazing journey,
of, the 93 verses of Suratul Namal.
Your Lord is not heedless, not unmindful,
not unaware of what you're doing. He's aware.
He's watchful.
He will compensate and retribute.
He has a time and everything has been
fixed,
by his divine calculation,
and according to his divine calculation,
it will be,
it will play out at that time. So
what were the last words of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam as I was mentioning
in the previous aya in his fatal illness,
on the last moments he said, Assalah
wama malakat ima nukum.
Hold on to prayer
and be kind to your subjects.
And the scholars say salah
was a reflection
of diligence
in terms of execution of all your obligations
to your Creator.
And,
wamaaalaqqataymanukum,
kindness to your subjects,
your workers, your helpers, your employees,
all those over whom Allah has given you
some position and authority. Not superiority,
authority.
Superiority is on the grounds of virtue.
Authority a person has. A teacher has authority
over a student, not superiority.
A father has authority, not superiority.
Superiority
is on the grounds of of virtue. So
let's be clear on this here. Be kind
to them and this is the message.
Oh, Muhammad
and this is a verse of chapter 11,
Jews 12, Surahood.
Stand firm. Stand straight on the path,
on which we have instructed you. You and
those who turn to Allah in repentance.
In
it is mentioned,
he says,
What is
what is firmness?
For your entire life,
continue
diligently,
passionately,
and perpetually
in executing
and discharging
the rights and the obligation
you owe to Allah and to His creation.
Sadly,
we live in a world
where people are conscious
of their rights
but not their responsibilities.
And on that note, we conclude. We ask
Allah to accept the series. We ask Allah
to bless all and hope that we will
move from here
spiritually
energized,
spiritually rejuvenated,
and as better Muslims
with a greater connection
word of Allah.
