Suleiman Hani – Tafsir of Juz Tabarak #08
AI: Summary ©
The Quraysh is one of the earliest events in the century to be revealed, and the importance of studying the meaning of "has been" and the use of negative argumenting is emphasized. The afterlife of everything on earth is also discussed, including the loss of people due to severe punishment and the importance of trusting in one's values and intentions. The concept of "here after" is used as a temporary event that will be wiped out with a blow, and is related to a previous video about a woman who was killed by a beast. The speaker emphasizes the need for accountability and a review process to avoid giving up on one's positive experiences, and encourages people to remember their positive experiences and focus on their positive deeds.

Some lol hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was gonna be here all in order, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us from amongst those who benefit from what we hear, I ask Allah subhana wa Taala to accept from all of you for the time that you take to study his speech, the speech that grants us all guidance, it is a healing, it is a Shiva Shiva, it will be manifested law, it is a drama, it is a mercy, it is a light and nor it is helpful on the criteria on that distinguishes between truth and falsehood. It is our guidance and our salvation towards genuine towards the pleasure of Allah. May Allah bless all of you and your loved ones for spending time
studying the Quran along with me. So that will help. Let's talk about first the intro to the surah. This is one of the earliest revelations How do we know this when you study the Tafseer of the Surah, you'll come to see that some of the initial early accusations and the strategies of the elite of Quraysh are mentioned in the Surah. So it's not yet mentioning some of the hostility that led to physical aggression against the Muslims. So many scholars are of the opinion that this is one of the earliest sort to be revealed in Mecca and you'll see some of the accusations and attacks and fabrications against the prophets Allah, Allah mentioned in the Surah like the previous Surah Surah
12. And there's a very beautiful report from the Muslim the Hadith book of Imam Muhammad. He mentioned a traditional story about Ramadan bomb Rhodiola one who reported the following story. He said before embracing Islam, one day I came out of my house with the intention to cause trouble to the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam but he had entered the Masjid Al haram before me. When I arrived, I found that he was reciting Surah will have called in the prayer. I stood behind him and I listened as he sallallahu alayhi wa salam recited the Quran I wondered, I reflected on its literary charm and its beauty, the eloquence of the Quran, then suddenly an idea came to my mind, something
crossed my mind that maybe he's a poet, like some of these people are alleging the elites of Quraysh. Maybe that's the explanation for this. And just as I thought, that thought about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he added slaughter Salam recited the words from Surah to halco in a hula hula shooting Kareem wama, who are being formally showered Cadila motto. This is the resuscitation of an honorable messenger. It is not the word of a poet. So I'm going to help offset I thought to myself that maybe he's a magician, maybe he's something else, if he's not a poet, and then Allah continued in the prophets lesson recited, and as he was recited or model was listening,
what are the holy cow in Pali in a matter that garoun 10, zero moorambilla. And I mean, so he recited the words, nor is this the speech Nor are these the words of the magician, a soothsayer, literal, it is that indeed you reflect meaning, you must not have common sense you must not have any common sense for you to think such accusations. It is a revelation Tenzin Mirabella, I mean it is a revelation from the Lord and sustainer of the worlds on hearing this Islam enter deep into my heart or more said he had not yet embraced Islam publicly. And this one report, some of the scholars dispute some aspects of it, because it seems if you study all the reports about Ramadan, Mahapatra,
the long run, it seems that there were multiple things that he experienced and observed. And he saw and he heard that eventually, after a while, all of these things kind of influenced him and forced him to recognize the reality. And he said until he submitted to the faith completely until he became a Muslim. So this was one of these incidents and referenced in this incident is suraj will help. So that will help if you want to break it down into five parts. This is how I organize it. For the sake of our Tafseer you have the first three is as the introduction, what is the surah about what is the reality about the inevitable reality, and then I have four to 12, you have those who denied the
hereafter. Those who deny the hereafter are referenced in terms of the punishment they experienced, such as odd and thermwood. And then 13 to 17. You have the occurrence of the Day of Judgment, the resurrection, and then 18 to 37 you have the story of choice, our purpose and our ending, people who receive their books in the right hands and people who receive their books have these in their left hands, people have agenda and the people of hellfire. Our purpose is all summarized in this passage, as well as the ending the finale that all people will experience. And then the last part of the sort of in 38 to 52 is a an emphasis on the Quran being from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So responding to and
refuting the elites of Qureshi who rejected the truth and try to come up with accusations and distractions so that people would not follow the Prophet sallallahu
by yourself, and believe it or not 1400 years later, as we are discussing Jazel Quran the miraculous nature of the Quran the clear proof that the Quran is from God, some of the very same arguments that arrogant people have always had or arguments you hear from non Muslims today, when they are told about the about the Quran or about Islam, some of the very same accusations and you respond to this one, you respond to that. And when you respond to now, you find that they don't have really a way out. And as they're trying to come up with something they're pulling at straws, they're basically coming up with all types of far fetched theories. In the end, you find that the essence of the
arguments that positive arguments suffice, you don't need to continuously refute every single random thing that comes up. Rather, you just need to prove what is true. So there's something called a positive argument for something and a negative argument. A negative argument is when you are refuting something. So if somebody says What if he's a poet, you refute that? What if he's a magician, you refute that and Allah subhanaw taala refutes these in the Quran. Now, what we also want to recognize is that as Muslims, we need to study the positive arguments, meaning the proofs for a claim so that our foundation is strong. And when you explain Jazel Quran to others, you are
using a multifaceted strategy, you are showing them the positive arguments and when they bring up one of these far fetched ideas or alternatives in their minds, their propositions, you use the refutations that we have and so what it is a multifaceted strategy, but the essence the foundation you want to have is what a powerful proof for yourself to have a foundation first and then to share with other people may Allah subhanaw taala bless us and accept from all of us along with me. What are some links some of many links between the beginning of Surah to help them and the end of the previous Surah Surah Al Quran I will mention to ensure well the first Allah subhanaw taala says at
the end of Surah 12 Upon further when you want to you can the will be heard and Hadith Center study regional women Hi, Juliana moon, we're only in a KD Mateen ALLAH SubhanA mentioning that Leave them to me, I will take care of them, leave them to me, I will delay them for a while my planning is flawless trust in the Promise of Allah, the beginning of sort of halfway Allah mentions from verses four to approximately 12. Allah mentions examples of these people send us that original and we will lead them to their punishment, meaning Allah will take care of them and lead them to their punishment accordingly. So he mentioned insert will help the people of ThermoWood ad he mentioned
the punishment that came to them with a model for only covariance also in it. We will talk about these punishments. But ultimately this is the the launch they weren't given blessings they use these blessings for evil and these blessings led them more and more and more gradually to their punishment and to being completely annihilated wiped out. The blessings were extended, but it is all part of a laws flawless planning. He is Al Hakim Subhanahu wa Taala number two, at the end of Surah 12 column Allah says about the righteous people and the people of evil Allah says England in a motel cleaner and don't beat him. Jannetty nine for the righteous, they will have gardens, gardens of gender with
Allah subhanaw taala he prepared it for them. And he also mentioned the owner Yorkshire foreign serve in were you the owner in a suit God fell is the evil people on that day will not be able to prostrate at the beginning of sorts of Harcourt ALLAH SubhanA. Allah mentions what the opening parts about the day of judgment regarding those who receive their books in the right hands and the people of evil who receive their books on in their left hands and how everything is revealed on that day. Yama, Yorkshire for uncertain. So on the Day of Judgment, there will be what's an exposing of all things. This is the day of judgment and how God is one of the names of the Day of Judgment. We ask
Allah subhanaw taala to make us amongst and matzah lien amongst those who receive our books in our right hands alone. I mean, I want you again to envision the context. This is the beginning the early parts of Prophethood the attacks on Islam are increasing on the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam and this is where we are starting with a foundation in theology something that we are all in need of and a reminder on top of the foundation that already exists. What we'll do in sha Allah will recite the ads for solar to halco and you can follow along with your preferred translation or with the one that you see on the screen in sha Allah the PowerPoint on the screen battle of

Going back to the beginning of the surah Allah subhanaw taala says the first three verses and half Mel have gone warmer and Rakim and Hapa. So the beginning of the Surah, you have a name for the Day of Resurrection, Al Harper is one of the names of the Day of Judgment, it is a name that implies that which is in evitable, that which is promised to occur that which is guaranteed. And Allah subhanaw taala emphasize it. And here he mentioned is the name of the opening verse, the second verse, the third verse, as well. So this name for the Day of Judgment is a reminder in the early parts of revelation to those who denied what is inevitable your denial will not prevent its
occurrence. For example, as we mentioned, oftentimes, the denial of something that is guaranteed does not change that it is guaranteed and will occur. For example, somebody says that they do not want to reflect on death that they want to so you know, like in a certain way. And I don't want to say this the wrong way. Some people try to run away from the thought of death, Muslims as well through certain things that they're doing their lifestyles, and we may all observe this at times, sometimes do not reflect a true belief that they will die at any moment. May Allah protect us in the way that we think and the way that we act and the way that we live.
And if we if we if we do not accept this reality, if we do not prepare for this reality, does it change that reality? It does not. So you're going back to the main point, Allah Subhan is reminding the people of flourish, that the day of judgment is inevitable the Day of Resurrection is guarantee. If you reject that, if you try to run away from that, if you try to ignore that, if you're heedless of that, it does not change the fact that it will happen. And Allah subhanaw taala mentions and harpaz Mel have got one document how are what is the inevitable? Our what is the inevitable occurrence? And what will make you know what it is? And how long will make you know what will give
you knowledge of that? These are two questions following what what Allah started with. Two and Three, the two questions that follow one another, are used as a literary device, so that those who are listening the people of Kadesh and of course, a reminder for the Muslims, to make them understand the importance of the theme of the surah and the theme of the reality here, which is that we will all depart and so pay attention to what is coming next. In the Quran. You see two different approaches to this question. You see one Raka and one are you rica some of you may remember as I asked this in a weekly class to remind you time and again, when Allah says WOMMA Draka like I
remember at number three, while my Gerakan will have Allah subhanaw taala it will inform you about it in the coming verses. Right woman, melancholia, Allah will tell you about what it is one rock, and then and then you have in the Quran when you delete what will inform you what will give you knowledge about something what could give you knowledge of something, and that's something that Allah does not tell us about. That's something that Allah Subhan
Katana has knowledge of whether you drink Allah Allah Saturd, hakuna kaliba What would basically give you the knowledge, that's information that no one has access to except ALLAH, about the day of judgments being very close. And so you don't have access to it or messenger of Allah. And this is a reminder for the people as well. So these are the opening ideas of solar to happen. In other words, pay attention to what is coming next. That inevitable thing is coming soon pay attention to the following themes of the soul. Four to 10 is four to 10. There's a mention of previous nations and the destruction that they experienced because of who they were can never thermo do I do Bill Korea,
both the nations of the mood and they denied an aria? Notice something interesting here about what I just mentioned? And how men have got warmer Rothermel? How can they better mu i don't Bill Korea and Korea is what an audio that which is striking and loud that which is striking and strong. And Apollyon is one of the names of the Day of Judgment. So in the first four verses of the Surah, you have an emphasis on the Day of Resurrection, and two different names are used in the opening at the mood, and I both rejected this, they both deny that there's going to be a resurrection. And like so moving around. And this is a reminder for kurush like them with an ad they rejected the truth and
they died and experienced a punishment and they will be resurrected for the day of judgment. So you as well or people of courage are not ahead of them, you are not better than them. You're not otherworldly beings that can protect yourself and prevent yourself from dying experience resurrection, you will die as well like the nations before you who are immortal, and they experienced what they experienced, though, and, and the mood were not a mystery to the people of Quraysh. They were known to them. And so a human being here as being reminded about history. Study the nations that came before you there are so many lessons to take moral lessons, lessons that will
benefit you today as an individual and especially as a community and as a nation. You look at the rise and fall of different empires, like the Roman Byzantine Empire, or the Sassanid, Persians, or the Ottoman Empire or others, you'll find that there are many lessons in the the initial incline and rise to power, as well as for many dynasties, but not all appeared in which there was flourishing, a period in which they did really well and then you look at the factors that led to the decline and destruction of certain nations. In the Quran. Many nations are mentioned and they are mentioned so that we today are learning from past nations and past lessons. May Allah Subhana Allah is to benefit
from that. learn lessons from other people. When you hear about some stories, some person making a mistake, don't repeat the mistake so that you would learn on your own. Take that lesson to learn it and ask yourself how can I apply this to my family and to my community and to the Ummah at large? The word that's used here can limit Thermotoga do bill for ya Apollyon comes from a root word meaning to hammer, to be to knock to strike one thing upon the other. And it comes with a sense of dread a sense of terror or fear. So another name for the Day of Resurrection of qualia, something that is to be feared something that is very loud, something that is very striking. And generally
speaking, the concept of audio as two things that are making noise or that thing which is making noise, it's usually also making someone startled, right. It's, it's something that moves a person emotionally, if it does not, it is not considered a partier. So this is one of the few places in the entire Quran, where the style of the first three ayat is similar. The other Surah Surah talks about qualia. And I want you to think about the names here and call them al Hakka and the Surah Surah Takata and sort of happen when the curiosity of the human being has entered into wondering what this calamity is and Apollyon or and how Allah then will inform you about what it is so that you are
ready so that you are prepared so that you do not have fear. If you pay attention to the message of God to mankind when Allah tells you l Faria, mellow Korea warmer and rockin Korea, Al Harper, Mel has got one and the Rockman hardcore. If you pay close attention to the message of Allah to his creation, then you will have nothing to fear on that day. The fear is for those who receive this message and do not pay attention or take heed. Now there are some beautiful gems here. Similarities between sort of health and sort of quality are very briefly number one is that there's a unique parallel between the opening of both so what so the opening is are basically identical with
different names used for the Day of Resurrection. Number two, the fourth time and Hadiya is mentioned is actually not in sorted order. It is here in sort of how can the better Moodle or the middle Korea and then you have the third similarity
Eat, which is that both of the sought after that open up a scene into the Day of Resurrection, the finale, the final destination that we will all experience. People have good and people of evil people whose deeds are weighed on their scales, a skill on Amazon on the Day of Resurrection. And then there's also another part of the day of judgment and other parts of that experience, which is receiving our books of deeds. These are two different parts of the Day of Judgment, one mentioned a sort of qualia, and one mentioned the sort of health and this brings us to these two nations who disbelieve for a Mirtha Moodle for only COVID qualia. As for the people of them would they were
destroyed by an overwhelming blast. I want you to pay attention to here the fact that Allah subhanaw taala mentions different names for the day of judgment. He also mentions for the mood different types of punishments within one punishment What do I mean? So moody experienced an overwhelming blast Alia but elsewhere in the Quran, that same punishment, different parts of a different angles are mentioned. So for example, you're watching a live event, you're paying attention to one thing, you look at another camera, you have a different vantage point you look at a different perspective, you have a different vantage point. Allah has mentioned many different things about this punishment
in sorted out if he calls the punishment or rajiva a terrible earthquake, solitude it's a site of violence blast in sort of harming a soldier. It has been said they were overtaken by what sorry go to Lada a humiliating punishment or Scourge and hear Allah subhanaw taala says what a Bollea but only who will call the Ebola here is a violent catastrophe and overwhelming blast or catastrophe that destroyed them. And one of the earliest scholars also said Ebola also has another meaning which is sinfulness can limit them will not be followed while hurts and will deny the truth through their transgressions and sins. So those transgressions and sins are one part of the meaning of the word
and at the same time that very same sin is a severe punishment for them. How about the people of Ireland, the people have AD one model for only go they were punished by media hence on solid idea. They were destroyed by a furious roaring when assaults or could also mean a cold when it is a severe blowing of the wind. So they were destroyed by a wind that is cold and it is roaring and severe. It blew fiercely upon them until it pierced their bodies and into their hearts and blew fiercely as well upon their lands and their harvest until everything was wiped out. Allah subhanaw taala gives us a little bit of an elucidation here about exactly what happened. Allah subhanaw taala says in a
number seven Sahara Allah you him Sudan ironing whatever man yatta yatta mean prosumer Allah unleash this upon them non stop her Suma nonstop for seven nights and eight days so that you would have seen its people lying dead like the trunks of uprooted palm trees. This is the loose translation of the I Am. Her Zoom is complete and successive. And this is what they saw how they understood from it. And our jazz hula Helene Javier is referring to the hollow uprooted palm trees. So the way that they are destroyed these people were destroyed as well many it's as though they were pulled out of the ground, and they are lifeless all around after this roaring wind overtook them. A prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said no so to be Saba, I was given victory I was given help by an easterly wind a summer well over the Qatar duel with the board and the people of Ireland were destroyed by a westerly wind. So this is one of the things that profits or loss and I mentioned and it's used in the commentary on this particular area to emphasize how bad the punishment was for the people of art. And here is the crux here's the question Allah asks for hull total never been badly. Can you see any trace of them now? Is there anything left of these people now? Do you find any one of these people of algorithm, any one of them or someone who attributes themselves to them still alive today?
Rather, no, they are all gone right down to the very last one of them and all the wealth and property they had wiped out. And Allah did not make for any of them any successors for hull total level mean value wiped out in history wiped out in terms of not having anything after that. If your nests as a believer, if your desires, calling you to become attached to something you have in this world, calling you to become attached to worldly things. Remember every person who came before you who had so much of this world who had an unimaginable amount of wealth in this world, or power or fame or any kind of prominence in this life, and they departed from all that they had. They departed
when they died and they proceeded to the next life with only one thing and that was their deeds, your good deeds and your sin.
That's all you will proceed with the $100 level mean badly and these people were wiped out. And there's a reminder here that goes back to school total column. Brothers and sisters no matter how bad things get, no matter how much oppression you see in the world, no matter how much injustice you experience or see on Earth, remember what Allah said in Kadena tiene, muy planning is flawless, you must trust in the Promise of Allah. You cannot afford to trust in your own interpretation, your own ideas, your own rationale your own desires, or what people are suggesting trust in the Promise of Allah. In KD my team my planning is flawless. When the time comes for the evil person in power to be
destroyed, they will be destroyed. When the time comes for the evil person to be erased from the face of the earth They will be erased when that time comes for the one who is insulting God and His messengers to die and leave the squirrel and nothing is left behind of benefit to this world. That time will come as Allah subhanaw taala decrease the halal Taiwan government badly do you see anything, any trace of them left behind anything good that they left in this world? I want us to remember the opposite of this as well. That the believer when he or she passes away, does intend to leave behind many good things. And you cannot always see what you left behind. But one of the most
important questions we should ask and work towards on a daily daily basis is the question of if I die tonight, what have I left behind that I'm pleased with? And I want you to take a moment to ask yourself this question to really reflect on it and perhaps write down some answers for yourself. If you were decreed to depart from this world tonight, if Allah subhanaw taala had you return back to him tonight?
What did you leave behind that you are pleased with. And if you cannot think of a single thing that you left behind something beneficial you taught someone or righteous child that you raised, something you benefited in terms of donations and sponsorships. If you cannot think of anything good anything major enough that you were left behind in a dunya something beneficial. Then ask yourself, what is it that you want to leave behind that you must work towards starting tonight.
You don't want to be amongst those who had so much time in this world and did nothing and left behind nothing as well. And this reminds us of two different perspectives on the journey of the soul and what you left behind. You look at what you left behind. But you also asked What did I send the head? Right? So what did you leave behind in this world? Maybe you raised righteous children. And that's an unimaginable, continuous journey. And every one of them and all their offspring until the end of times maybe what unimaginable sources of continuous charity and benefit to the world. Maybe you took care of and you sponsored an orphan. You save their lives. Maybe you don't need an
attorney, you forgot about the many charities that you gave, you benefited so many people in ways you can imagine. Maybe you mentioned something beneficial. You taught someone something good. And they remembered it, they practice it and you're being rewarded for it as long as they are doing it and also reminding and teaching others about it. Maybe you posted something beneficial online. Maybe you shared a book or a lecture, maybe you attended a class and then you acted upon it taught it to somebody else. Ask yourself what you left behind, and what you're leaving behind as well as what you're sending ahead. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to allow us to leave behind a very positive
beneficial legacy. A legacy in Islam is not one that is recognized by the people meaning what whether or not people recognize it does not matter and that does not weigh into it. That does not factor into it. There are people who are not mentioned oftentimes by name and they have so many rewards that we are not thinking about. People who for example, facilitated the journey of inevitable hottie Rahim Allah, or Imam Muslim or other scholars of the past or some of the companions or the Prophet slicin for the journal The Allahu Allah. She was not the one who was a messenger of God, but she supported the Prophet sallallahu sallam, she was very strong for him. And
he sought to a sunnah she supported him also not just emotionally but financially. How do you juggle the Aloha and her getting the rewards as well for the message of Islam for the spreading of Islam because she supported the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam meaning what Don't think of your legacy of what you left behind the only one that is given recognition of fame by people. That's not how you measure legacy in Islam. You measure it by recognizing that ALLAH SubhanA wa, tada is aware of all things, Allah subhanaw taala is aware of the tiniest good deed that you've done, the tiniest thing that you left behind, and that's the kind of trace you want to leave behind. And also
think about people in your life. Are there positive effects on people that you've left behind when you interact with others in society? Or on social media? If you were to be taken out of the equation, would there be a noticeable difference? Meaning is there something that you did that was good when your presence was there? It was positive. You reminding people about good things, you share things on social media that were beneficial? Is that how it was to the point where if you were taking the trace now that you left behind is a positive one and there will
Be, perhaps a type of bittersweet sentiment towards this believer towards this man or woman who used to be a positive presence in this role. May Allah subhanaw taala was to leave behind many good things sincerely for his sake, privately and publicly in May Allah subhanaw taala allows to take a heading to the day of judgment and to prepare for the Day of Judgment, a lot of good deeds while turned on if some are condemned to the
verse number nine now Allah subhanaw taala introduces another one of these nations, and this is about from one of the wrong one and problem one motor vehicle to be healthier and also fit around and those before him, the people of the overturned cities of loop and others indulged in sin, each of them disobeying their Lord's Messenger, so he sees them with a crushing grip, he took them a lot harder with something that was very crushing when they knocked heavy cut. Some scholars say is the overthrown cities, these are nations that rejected their messengers, some scholars say this refers to the nation of loop and his center. Now the reference is to Prophet little Danny Sullivan, his
people but also I want us to keep in mind that the rejection of a messenger of Allah is a rejection of all of Allah's message. And so these people will hold the rejected what Allah revealed, they rejected their messenger and, and as a result, and logically, they rejected the message of God in general, all the messengers of God. This is why Allah says in a attempt facile they disobeyed but also that I became the messenger that came to them from Allah from their Lord for fo their home. So he took them that on Robbia with a crushing grip. And so Allah subhanaw taala took them because they denied the messenger who came to them will all be a means great or severe or painful. Whoever denies
a messenger verily has denied all of the messengers, Allah says, Can the medical homeowner handle more study, the people have not denied all the messengers cannabidiol during mostly, I had rejected the messengers in the plural as well, because of the mood and more saline. The people of the mood rejected the messengers, plural. They rejected their messengers, even though they got one message that came to their nation. And so as Muslims we accept and we believe in all the messengers, and this includes newer honey, Saddam and Abraham Ibrahim is the use of Yahoo. And this includes other human Salam, Ibrahim, Ali, salaam, David and Solomon del wooden Solomon, Allahu Sana, Musa, Moses,
Jesus, Lisa, and even Muslim and Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, all of them, we believe in them, and you must affirm the reality of every one of these messengers sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And here Allah subhanaw taala reminds the people of Porsche about the nations before not just the mood, not just not just the people of fit on and now you have a reference to the overthrown flipped over city. And that is the people of loop this has mentioned in sort of hatred that they were basically overthrown. And they were flipped, and this was their punishment. And then Allah says in London, Melbourne, Mohammed, Allah Kornfield geria verse number 11. I want us to pay attention to
the story that's being referenced here. Indeed, when the flood water had overflowed, we've carried you carried you meaning what have I learned come fill Jerry, we carry you in the floating Ark, the Ark of new Allah, His Salah. So now the illusion here is to another prophet and another nation. Look at the many nations mentioned in the beginning of sorrows of Hatha these are people that they heard about the people of Christ, they had reference to some of these before and Sunday did not. So the allusions to the flood of the Prophet no honey salaam, in which an entire nation after 950 years of being called to worship God, they denied the truth. Look at the severity of this crime 950 years of
rejecting a clear sign of God 950 years, and some scholars say that amount, the number of people who eventually believed and followed that messenger knew how to set up where maybe 70 to 80 people at most of Allahu Allah 70 to 80 people amongst perhaps 1000s 950 years of giving Dawa and only 70 to 80 people had listened to the message of God and obey the messenger that came to them. Think about the people today in the 21st century, who even when you suggest to them that if a messenger a human being was chosen by God and came to you with a message from God, would you accept it? Many of them would say no, many of them say I don't know that it's true. Many of them say I have to see something
empirical. Many atheists will say I want to see God. This is what the people said to know how to Mousavi, Santa and Allah punish them and wipe them out. Because they are so arrogant. They are so arrogant when the sign is crystal clear. They still refuse to accept the site. Allah says Hameln Nakhon Phil, Phil geria we boarded we carried you because the entirety of the human race today including the people of correction, the reason
Law says we carried you even though kurage was not part of the story of new high Salam is because all of the human race that exists today, According to some scholars has descended from the people who boarded the ark, perhaps 1000s of years ago, and therefore saved from the flood. It means you exist in the world today because in that flood, Allah subhanaw taala had caused only those who disbelieved and were heedless to be drunk and he saved the believers. And so I want you to think and reflect my dear brothers and sisters. For these last few minutes before we take a break, Inshallah, reflect for a moment on your experience when you go through pain. When you go through difficult
times, when you experience anxiety, when you experience sadness, when you're when your situation seems like there's no way out of it. Like there's no exit, there's no solution. There's no relief, when you feel so isolated from people disappointed by people who hurt you, trying to cope with the difficulties and the difficult trial that came your way. Remember, the one who saved newer high Hassan and his followers and carry them and boarded them on the ark? Do you not think that he can carry away your sadness in light of all that's happening around the world? Do you not believe that he can carry you out of a difficult situation? Or challenging times? Do you not believe that if you
raised your hands to the heavens and you ask the Lord you pray and you begged of him, with sincere humility, with sincere submission, with love with belief, while yes, opening up your heart and asking Allah for strength,
do you not realize that he would accept your DUA your every prayer for either so Allah Cohiba, the need for in your body or not so close to you. He says up my sleeve My servants ask about me I am nearby. I respond to the one who calls upon me when they call upon me. Well yesterday bully you when you will be law law me are you doing? Let them call out let them believe in me, but then respond to me. How do you respond to Allah, you respond to Allah by following the message that came to the message that will carry you on that arc as well. And the message that will save you in times of difficulties in dunya in this world, psychologically and spiritually and physically as well as the
message that will save you on the Day of Resurrection when people are standing, staring in horror on the day that is known as Al halco Acharya, the believers will not feel any fear and any sadness, la hopeful, gnarly him. Wonder homea has a new there's no fear on that day. Everything up to this point was a reminder for the people of Qureshi who reject the truth that there will be fear for them on that day, that they should learn from the lessons of the people before and that's why Allah mentioned ThermoWood and add and then mentioned fiddle around and then mentioned the people of loop. And he set up and then mentioned What's the new the Ark of new honey Salam. And then there's the
spiritual reminder for us. The reminder that you should continue to put your trust in a law the one who says conveyor cord. Oh you who experiences sadness in this world? Remember, the One who created your body and your rule, the one who carried the arc of knew the one who for Musa slit the sea and punish those who rejected the truth. The one who brought back Yusuf to his father and baby Musa back to his mother, the one who hears your every prayer and say the Raisa Jesus with ascension to the heavens, the one who blessed us and save the final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he says, Call upon me, I will respond to you. So call upon him with optimism with hope with love and
believe in the response to your every prayer for the Promise of Allah is always true. Call upon Allah, He will respond to you call upon Allah, He will respond to you call upon Allah, He will respond to you do not give up on connecting with Allah. Allah Subhana Allah reminds us in the Hadith, Yamuna, Adam in Canada, our Attorney What are Jotun offer to Allah gamma can EMIC will obey, or son of Adam or children of Adam, as long as you have hope in me and you call upon me call upon Him, and you have hope in Him. He will forgive you for what you've done before. While you're seeking this forgiveness, and Allah does not mind meaning he wants to forgive you. I want you to think about
the lessons you can take from this i The Ark of new Hadith and his Salaam harmala config. Jerry, Allah carried us all. Why? Because we were saved because of the flood we were saved because of that moment because of that incident, the one who split the sea and the one who carried the Ark of Newark, the one who saved Yusuf Ali Salam, after all that he experienced with his brothers, the one who saved Musa Ali Salam in many different times in his life, the one who saved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the one who elevated ascended race and he said I'm the one who says couldn't fire couldn't be and it is call upon him. Call upon him and do not give up on that. No
matter how difficult your situation is or how disconnected you feel.
Mala call upon Allah for everything major and minor, he will respond to you. He will respond to you he will respond to you for more subhanaw taala says so this is a continuation about the Ark of Nurhaliza Lena Giada la quinta de kiloton, what are you with,
so that we may make this a reminder to you, this is a reminder for you, so that the attentive ears may grasp what's going on while you're retaining ears, or the ears which may hear something consciously and take it in. So the word although the word that we see and Allah uses here is ear with the unknown. Wow, yeah. Allah subhanaw taala is reminding us and this implies about the one who hears about something that event and always remembers it takes heed from it and then does not forget the dreadful fate that the deniers of the hereafter and the disbelievers experience, and those who disbelieve today will experience as well. An ear that hears it and retains it is referring to a
person who has sound hearing and correct intellect. This is not referred to literal hearing. There are some people who can hear literally, but they cannot hear spiritually. There are people who see literally but they cannot see spiritually. And so the point here is that the one who hears and reasons correctly, they're sincere, they heard the noise. See how they heard the advice, they heard the reminder, they heard the warning, this is a really bad thing. Do not repeat what these people have done. Do not make the mistake this person has done correct reasoning, and a sound heart will lead you to let talk to learn a lesson from it. This is why let's go back not one solo but another
student before it Surah Al Mulk. What is the link between this and Surah? Two and the link between this point here that I just made and Surah Al Malik that people have Hellfire will confess that I don't obey them in what did they confess, while all you will Kunta smell, I will not.
Feed us herb is only if only we used to listen, we used to listen to people when they advise us not smell, I will knock or use our intellect our reasoning, we would not be in the hellfire. And so the reality is you cannot go through life as a believer, forcing yourself to make mistakes, forcing yourself to make mistakes so that you would learn from the law, you are supposed to learn from the mistakes of others as well. And I'll give you an example. One time a young man here in the Midwest, one of the youth he said, You know, I don't want to learn from the lessons of other people I have this weird feeling I feel really bad saying this said I don't I don't care that other people and you
are telling me in this lecture, other people are advising me not to repeat their mistakes and wishing that if they could go back, they would not do what they did. They said I feel like I want to go through those mistakes myself and experience them myself. And we're lucky this is a trick of the devil. This is a trick of Shavon. Why else is it that public mention of people's Crimes and Punishments is a thing. Deterrence a reminder, learn a lesson take heed. And this is one of the greatest ways to remind people and also one of the greatest forms of rehabilitation that people are improving and becoming better through the lessons they learn for themselves, and from the stories of
other people. So sometimes sharing these stories, stories of past nations and stories of people today who have changed their ways or become better people will help other people as well. Sharing stories, so long as no lines are crossed, no boundaries are crossed, is a beneficial thing. And you can help a lot of other people as well by sharing your notes say hi your experience. And the experience is not always only about somebody older or younger. Usually someone who has had more time in this world has a lot more to share in terms of their experiences. But the humble believer learns from the mistakes of all people learns from the lessons of all people because sometimes you may have
gone 1020 30 years down a path and not experienced something that someone new to Islam or younger person may have experienced. So we learn lessons from all people and we respect those who are older and learn from their wisdom and their experience as well so that we do not repeat their mistakes. This last passage verses 13 to 18. Allah subhanaw taala starts to mention now the people who are punished or rejected and how come the day of judgment. Now there's a mention about the Day of Judgment, the horrors of that day. The first of the events that will take place is the blowing of the trumpet, the blowing of the trumpet, well, if you have a sore, right and sort of zoom and other
sauna as well. And there will be a destruction of everything in this world a destruction that will spread meaning what the Day of Judgment will start to begin meaning the end times will begin and everything will be struck down except to remember Allah wills. Now there's an opinion that there are two blowing of the trumpet and there's an opinion that there are three total. And you'll see why when you study the differences in Aafia and it's not really a big deal. But some of the scholars of Tennessee, believe there are three the first blowing of the trumpet
Everything starts to be destroyed in the heavens and in the earth, meaning in the skies in the universe and in the earth. And the people as well will be affected by this. After this, there will be the blowing, in which everybody will die and then there is the blowing in which everyone is resurrected. And many scholars say there are only two, there's one that begins the end times and people will die, and there's another for the blowing of the Day of Resurrection. Now here verse 13, Allah subhanaw taala says, for either Newfield cough is sorry enough for to mafia, when the Trumpet will be blown with that one powerful blast the fortune worship leader, that one blast is referring
to which one blast? Is it the first one? No, of course it is the last one, the last blast is referenced here. Why? Because that's the one in which the Day of Judgment will finally begin. Now, when we read the the following verses, we remind ourselves that in some places in the Quran, the three stages of resurrection are mentioned and they will occur one after the other at different times. And sometimes they are mentioned separately. In the Quran, you have places in which, like Surah, to know the first blowing of the trumpet is mentioned, in which everyone who is still alive and the believers will not be as struck with terror is struck with fear. And people will experience
a general confusion. What are nurses who care about what to whom be so caught up people are as though they are drunk, but they are not drunk. And this has mentioned begin of sorts of hedge as well. And then you have installed to zoom on a mentioned about the second and third blowing of the trumpet. So with the second blowing of the trumpet by the angel, what is the name of the angel, somebody can type it in a child if not, I'll mention it. When the second blowing is done, everyone who is alive all human beings will basically die. Angel is fluffy.
And when the trumpet is blown for the third time, all those who died will rise back to life recreated for the Day of Resurrection, they will be presented and they will present themselves before Allah subhana wa. And in some places like sort of coffee se upon Ambia Allah Subhana Allah mentions only the third sounding of the trumpet here, and many other places in the Quran mentioned the events of the day of judgment, from the blowing of the first trumpet until the people's entry point into paradise or hellfire. All of these can be described as a single event, Jamelia or an help. So here are a lot of others mentioning what the blowing of the trumpet and that is the first
step we are covering now. And then Allah subhanaw taala gives us an example of what's going to happen. We're assuming that you are the one G bar for Duke Qatar that Qatar wide and the earth and the mountains will be lifted up and crushed with one blow that cat and why does anyone here remember or reflect on where else in the Quran something similar is mentioned. For dog cat, that cat and Wahida so the earth will be stretched out and changed. The surface of the earth will change. The skies will change the mountains will be pulverized destroyed. How about a man thorough it's mentioned in the Quran as well. And this is a reminder what about the change of the earth completely
insulted Rahim? Allah subhanaw taala tells us yo Metrobank Daniel All right, all of the was somewhat on that day a day will come soon. It's a day of judgment, the earth will be replaced as though it's completely different places though it's a completely different planet. And the heavens as well will look very different. We're homey that inaudible Well, GMO, they will be lifted up and crushed with one crushing blow. Just like morphine and brother with some in salt and fidget that can deca, right crushing something with that blow that wipes it out. So I want you to think here about a beautiful spiritual psychological point. And was mentioning that this earth, everything you know, every
building, you know, every single person on this earth, everything on this planet and the heavens is will be affected. The mountains on this earth will be crushed in that one crash with one blow everything wiped out. Look at the insignificance of a dunya of this world. Look how terribly insignificant in this life is that Catherine Wahida one blow one major blow and everything in this world is annihilated. The afterlife for those who are wise those who are intelligent, those who are God conscious, is lasting, it is eternal, will flow to clay on the Hereafter is better for him for those who have Taqwa. And Allah subhanaw taala wants us to remember this and as mentioned sorting
the set as well as 37 on metallic dunya accordion, the enjoyment of this life everything of this world it's very little, it's insignificant, will ask you not to hide only monitor for the Hereafter is better for those who love God consciousness. When Allah says honey, here's an example of how little it is how how terribly insignificant. This world is one blow and it is wiped out what
as gender is forever, the hereafter is eternal. So do not become attached to this thing that will be wiped out with one blow. Put your perspective and your eyesight and that which is lasting that which is eternal. Can you imagine someone who's so attached to this world that they refuse to prepare for gender, they refuse to prepare for something eternal? If someone were to do that, with something that were let's say it was the duration of one hour or one year, and they were missing out on an opportunity in 1000 years. Almost everyone who sees this scenario would say, that's crazy. Why would you do that? We're not comparing anything finite with that which is finite. We're comparing
something that is temporary. It will be like like, like minutes like seconds to those people in the hereafter. You're comparing it to an eternal life. Do not become attached to this thing that will be wiped out that cut Anwar Hina with one blow
Gibreel allihies Salam certain Yeah, Mohamed, so this is a an authentic hadith. He said Mohammed Salah Hi Salam Reshma shipped that in the Camilla to live how you wish for verily you will die. Well, I have been mentioned it for in Nikka morphological and lung what you wish or whom you wish you will part from it. Love whatever you wish in this one but you will depart from it. While I'm in the shitter for immunochemotherapy and do what you wish for verily you will meet your needs. You will meet what you've done. The only thing you will take on this earth is wiped out with that one blow the only thing that is lasting are your deeds. That's all you can take. That is your currency.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says as 16 One shot quality summer, I want you to think here here's a beautiful side gem about the word in sharp cut in sharp cut and what it requires for you to pronounce it the path with the shutter on it for example, in sharp cut. So this is a reminder of something that what is difficult as well something that is heavy, the sky will then be so torn that it will become frail well here. Now, this is like the saying of Allah subhanaw taala we're fully Hardy summer over curnutt abueva the heavens shall be open it will become as gates meaning there are many access points to it. Remember as well, for those of you who have studied Judo hammer, remember
Allah subhanaw taala is saying in the beginning of Solothurn he o'clock either sama sharp got assaulted in Shia Park is the one in which the references to the day of judgment are similar. What have been utterly Rob beha will help but and it listens to and obeys its Lord will help us and it must do so it's inevitable. Now the explanation of this is the same as what has preceded the verb Athena it means it will listen. Here listening means obedience, the verb but some scholars say it is an obligation upon it to obey Allah's command. Now you and I hear we have free will. Right? So as we said earlier in the sort of people who listen to the reminder from God, the reminder may be
something you are not expecting that day. It may be something you came across today by accident. When the reminder comes to you listen on your brother and sister listen are servants of Allah. Listen for that maybe the Ark upon which you will find yourself relieved from hardship saved from punishment, guided to the light protected from evil. May Allah Subhana Allah allow us to be people who will listen and obey seminar on a wild corner not seminar not while sign as the disbelievers would do. What manner karada Algeria with the angel on its site, while we do our shout out because oh whom yo mama eating Somalia, on that day eight Mighty Angels will bear the Throne of Allah
subhana wa Tada above them. Yama in Somalia eat the word Melech is referring to the species of angels when Melaku Allah origin, meaning the angels collectively will be standing on and throughout all of the heavens. And in addition to this, we have to reflect this means that they will be standing on and perhaps floating and flying and so on and so forth all around the universe, upon that which was a ground to the powder of the heavens, looking at the people of the earth, because remember, the Earth is brought uplifted and crushed for DACA DACA. And while there's a beautiful Hadith about the eight angels, these eight angels who carry the throne, how not to lash, who are
they? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I had been granted permission to speak about an angel, one of the bearers of the throne. Remember, there are eight of them. He said, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this angel, his feet are in the lowest Earth and the throne is resting on his horn, meaning that's how high up it is. The distance from his ear lobe to his shoulder, is like that of a bird flying for 700 years. The distance between the ear lobe and the shoulder of this one angel out of the eight is like a bird flying for 700 years that you
Angela's constantly saying Subhana glory be to you wherever you are. This is reported by a former Army. So these are eight angels carrying the Throne of Allah subhanaw taala. And there is no reference here and we do not ask beyond this. There's no description of Allah subhanaw taala in this verse, there's nothing about Allah subhanho wa Taala we do not liken him to any of his creation. Lisa can be cliche. This is the Throne of Allah subhanaw taala that's what we know. And the these eight angels are the angels who are carrying that throne on that day, as the day of judgment is beginning. And now we will end with this last iron. Allah says yo man eat into our wounds, to
firming coffee. So this is an introduction to the Day of Resurrection now. So people are resurrected, there's the blowing of the trumpet, people are gathered, the Earth is crushed, everything is changed. And then Allah subhanaw taala is thrown is brought with these eight angels, all of the angels of the universe are there and then the OMA even on that day tour alone, you will be brought to judgment your deeds will be presented to firming Coffea none of your secrets will remain hidden on that day. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said about this experience in which people's deeds are presented on that day. You will not do nursery a woman clear metadata are
not on that day that they have judgment people will be presented in their deeds three times or three different occurrences to that. For Emma Agata fed, Virgie data in the US for two of these three. They are what a type of arguing and offering excuses and then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a method either to find the delicate or clean the prophesies and said during the third presentation of your deeds, that third occurrence, the pages the records, the books will fly into their hands. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said for indelicato plural, so have a ad for Earth you're going to be a meanie here, we're actually gonna be Shimon. So on that third occurrence or
third presentation, people receive their books either in the right hands or in their left hands and this is going to introduce to us what we will cover in our next session. The next excerpt and passage of salt will help brothers and sisters, every hidden deed you have in this world you will see on the Day of Judgment, what you hide today will be exposed and made public on that day. So do not hide any deeds except those which you do not mind being publicly announced and exposed before Allah. Nobody escapes with their hidden deeds. Nobody escapes when they're injustices, people of evil do not escape when they're evil and sinfulness no matter who it is or how much wealth they
have. Prepare today for your presentation tomorrow. Prepare today for your presentation tomorrow. Prepare today for your presentation tomorrow. No that's nothing is hidden from Allah, and everything is within his wisdom and knowledge. And that thought should give you an all of us resilience and optimism. When we consider the pain that we feel for our brothers and sisters who struggle and suffer in this world. That Allah subhana knows about all things. Allah is aware of what the oppressors do. When he does not stop them do not assume that he's unaware. What are tassa then Allah wa feelin ionic volume. Allah reminds you of this so that you do not forget in these times of
hardship, you will not assume Allah is unaware or heedless of what the oppressors do. In NAMA, you are here only Omen, Tasha hustle V hill up so he delays their punishment for a day in which the eyes of the people of evil will be staring with horror and terror, because they know they're going to be punished and they did not truly escape with their evil and injustice. The day of Justice will establish true justice. People who deserve punishment will receive their punishment people who deserve reward will be given reward people who are oppressed will be restored in the right way Allah Subhana Allah protect us and guide us, the righteous believer in this world who conceals the faults
of others, and advises other people, rather than exposing the faults of others are looking for the faults of others will have their sins concealed as well. And hopefully, because of that, because of their sincerity, they will be guided to Tober as well. Now, what we want to take at the finale here with this last point in showing these last few minutes, is that you must have some type of accountability, some some type of review process some habit every day. So we eat, we drink and we sleep every single day. I want you to think about the habit that you have the moment in which you ask yourself, are there private sins that I need to remove number one, and number two? Do I have
private good deeds that I know are secure for me that I know will be there for me on the day of judgment, because the more private your good deeds are, the more sincere they are. And we want to make sure and this does not mean public deeds are not sincere, but there's greater risk when they are public. The more you can make some leads private that nobody else is aware about even your own parents, spouse and children. The better this is for you on the day in which all private things will be exposed. Let the things that be exposed and made public on that day. Be things
You have sincerely deeds of pleasure to Allah subhanho wa Taala May Allah subhanaw taala guide us all to have a healthy dose a strong dose a great quantity and quality of sincere private good deeds. May Allah guide us and forgive us for any private sins. May Allah conceal our paths and guide us to a better future. And may Allah subhanaw taala give us optimism and hope that what has passed and you repented for then make up for it with a lot of good deeds moving forward, along that I mean, we should never stop moving forward. We should never give up. We should always remember Allah Subhana Allah has knowledge and His power and His wisdom. Everything will come to fruition on that day, and
people who oppress others, they will be dealt with by Allah subhanaw taala the one who says we're only level in Acadia Mati And I delete them for short while waiting until at a certain time and my planning is flawless. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to forgive us and guide us and accept from us Allama Amin take care of yourselves have a great night keep yourself attached to Allah Subhana Allah to the Quran dua especially especially during these times in May last pass, I keep us all optimistic and productive, productive productive with our time and our social media and everything that we have access to alumni. I mean that a philosophy comm was salam. Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh tattoo
