Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P01 007C Tafsir Al-Baqarah 27

			One blood feed 300 eggs, it can travel 14 miles just to get blood. It can sense the capillary events
even through the skin. Because you wonder sometimes I'm all covered, or I think I'm all covered.
It's dark. How did the mosquito get here? And how could it possibly bite me here? Isn't it amazing?
So who has given this ability the sense to the mosquito, its Creator, Allah subhanaw taala. What I
want you to realize from this example, from this description from this presentation is that nothing
at all that Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned in the Quran, or created is useless.
		

			It's amazing. If you reflect, if you think about it, even a little, if you do even a little bit of
research about it, you will be amazed you will be surprised you'll be shocked.
		

			And this is something that we must realize because this is the miraculous nature of the Quran. And
this is what develops your team. This is what develops love in our hearts for the Quran. So nothing
at all that Allah has mentioned and nothing at all that Allah has created is useless. Thus we must
be to every command and everything that Allah has mentioned.
		

			Okay, our will be lameness, Uganda rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. I had number 27. At the end of
the previous verse, we learned that none are led astray by the examples mentioned in the Quran,
except for those who are faceting, except for those people who crossed limits. I told you earlier,
that fiscal is to cross the limit to cross the boundaries. And there are two types of fiscal one is
fiscal Akbar and the other is fiscal. Ursula major fist is to cross the boundaries of Islam so that
a person does not remain a Muslim anymore. He's not a believer, and the minor fist is that a person
is a believer, but he crosses the limits which make him a disobedient person but not necessarily a
		

			disbeliever. So over here, either facet pain Who is this referring to? It's referring to mainly
those who are disbelievers. Why? Because Allah subhanaw taala says what a Medina Cafaro those who
disbelieve, they say, Mother or the Allahu behad, Emma Farah, and they're the ones who are
misguided. They're the ones who don't find guidance from the Quran. And who are they? What is their
reality? That the cross limits? What are the limits that Allah subhanaw taala has said for us that
we are human beings, that we surrender to Allah that we accept what he has said, not that we start
objecting, what he has said, not so that we start mocking at what he has said. So firstly, Alene why
		

			are they called Vaseline because they do not surrender rather they object they don't accept rather
than criticize. This is why they're described as passive pain. And when a person crosses his limits
with regards to Allah subhanaw taala. he overstepped the bounds so instead of respecting Allah, he
disrespects Allah, instead of accepting what he has said he objects at what he has said, then this
person also crosses the limits with regards to the rights of people. This is why Allah subhanaw
taala describes the facet pain as first of all Alladhina Yan coluna the law he member the Misaki
those who break the covenant of Allah after binding it Secondly, where Qatar ona Amar Allah will be
		

			a useful and they cut what Allah has commanded should be joined. And thirdly, why you've seen a fill
up and the create mischief in the land. These are the characteristics of who faceting you see how
when a person crosses the limits with respect to the rights of Allah, He will also do the same with
respect to the rights of people. So the first characteristic Alladhina young coluna young Kaduna is
from the root letters known of both knocked and knocked is to break or destroy something after
making it firm. To break something destroy something after making it firm. Like for example, you tie
a knot or for example, a person knits a sweater. So what is knocked that you break that tie, you
		

			open it up, or for example, the sweater has been knitted and you unravel the entire yarn, all of the
threads. So something that was consolidated together, something that was bound together something
that was made firm, knocked is to open it up, destroy it, weaken it. And this is why the word Nikita
is also used for breaking a promise, breaking a covenant to nullify a covenant something that was
consolidated something that was contracted, you made a contract, you break it you violated this is
what not. So what do they break? They break the law he the covenant of Allah
		

			Ah the word or this from the root letters iron herder. And this used for a pact, a commitment a
pledge, a promise that has to be looked after that a person has to pay attention to and he has to
keep it, he has to abide by it. So they break the covenant of Allah. When minbar the after missa
tee, it's binding Misa is from the root letter as well. So, cough Wacka Wacka is to make something
firm and what's up is such a rope or chain with with something is tied tightly imagine a rope or a
chain with with something you die very tightly. This is what WhatsApp is and Nisa is used for a
covenant a pact an agreement that is not ordinary, but that which has been made very firm. For
		

			example, one is that you say to me, Okay, I will work for you. You give me your word. Is this a
promise? If you say to another person, okay, I will work for you. You give them your word? Is it a
promise? Yes, it is. But if you sign a contract, it's an official legal document in which there is
an agreement that you will work for such and such amount of time and you will do certain work and
you will be paid a certain amount of money and at the end, you sign it and your boss also signs it
is that an official document? Has the promise been made firm? Yes, it has been made firm. This is
what me Seleucus. Similarly, another example could be that a person makes a promise. He says yes, I
		

			will come. And the other is that he says yes will Allah He, I will come will Allah He I will do
this. He's swearing by Allah. So when he swears by Allah, is he making that promise very firm? Yes.
So Misa is not an ordinary covenant. It's not an ordinary promise. It's that which has been made
very firm. So mimbar, the missa tee, they made a covenant with Allah and they made it very firm how
that they swore by Allah that they were definitely going to fulfill it, but yet they violated it,
yet they broke their promise, they did not abide by it. The question is, which promises this? Which
covenant is this that Allah subhanaw taala is referring to? Some have said that it's referring to
		

			the promise, the covenant, of believing in the messenger and following him and helping him when he
comes. Because when a messenger of Allah comes to a people, it is mandatory on them, it is
obligatory on them that they must believe in Him, they must accept him, they must support him. This
is an obligation on the people and this is a path that Allah subhanaw taala took with every previous
nation. For example, we learned certain murder I had 12 that will occur the Allahu Mitaka Bani
Israel, that certainly Allah took a covenant from the Children of Israel who are the children of
Israel. Are you familiar with them inshallah you will learn more about them, but just to make it
		

			easy for you that you're hooked. And remember that before the Prophet sallallahu Sallam came that
you hood and then Asara the Jews and the Christians they were the believers of their time. Why?
Because it believed in the messenger that had come to them. So Allah subhanaw taala took a promise
from them in India, we learned that we're going to be roeselii that you will definitely believe in
my messengers. So it was a covenant that they had made that when Mohamed Salah Hassan will come they
will definitely believe in him. But did they believe in him? Did they accept him? Did they help him?
No, they did not. So disbelieving in the messenger, in other words, is what? Breaking the covenant
		

			with Allah breaking the promise with Allah.
		

			So Alladhina Yan, Kaduna, Allah Allah He mimbar the missa tee. Secondly, it has also been said this
covenant is referring to the covenant that every single person has made with Allah. Before even he
came to this world. And it's referring to the author of ls that we learned in total Iraq. I remember
172, that before Allah subhanaw taala sent people into this world, when other word Islam was
created, all of the souls of every single human being, every single soul was brought into existence.
And Allah subhanaw taala questioned that, am I not your Lord? And everyone said that, yes, of course
Allah You are our Lord. Every single person made that covenant with Allah, that You are our Lord,
		

			and we will worship number two. So when a person comes into this world, and he does not worship
Allah, He denies Allah He rejects Allah. Is it fulfilling the promise or is he breaking it? He's
breaking it. So Young, Kaduna Allah, in other words is who? Those who disbelieve in Allah and
disbelieve in his messengers.
		

			Lavina and Kaduna the law human body missa tee he, secondly, wire cutter owner and they got off for
18 Katara. Papa is to cut something to sever something. So they cut off. What do they cut off? My
that which Mr. Allah Who that Allah has commanded? Amara from the root letters Hamza me or LF me,
bro Have you heard of the word I told you Farrell
		

			and what does that mean? A command an imperative. So they cut off what Allah has commanded Muhammad
Allah who be with it, and that you Salah it should be joined us Salah is from the ruler as well,
solid lamb Wasana. And what Salah is to join one thing with the other, to connect one thing with the
other two things for separate, they were disconnected, you join them together when you've joined
them together, they have as though become one thing. For example, you have a sticker, and you have a
piece of paper, you put the sticker on the paper, have you joined the two? Yes. Similarly, you have
a rope and you have a box, you take the rope and you tie the box with it. You wrap it around the
		

			box, have you joined the rope with the box? Yes, you have. This is what Wasana is. So in other
words, the cut off what Allah has commanded that it must be joined that it must be connected
together.
		

			What is it that Allah has commanded us that we must join it, we must connect it together, we must
not break it. First of all, dies of kinship, blood dies. Allah subhanaw taala has commanded us that
we must maintain our relationships with our relatives that we cannot cut off from our relatives. For
example, a brother sister, sister, I don't know you get out of my life. I don't want to ever see you
again. Because he's very upset because of what she did. So what happens then they don't meet each
other. They don't speak to one another. They don't go anywhere where the other is present. And when
they get made when they have their children. They don't tell their children about who their uncle is
		

			who their aunt is. Children have no idea. This is what cutting off relationship with relatives.
Allah subhanaw taala has forbidden us from doing that. The faceting what do they do? They break ties
of kinship. They break the blood ties that Allah subhanaw taala has created. Similarly what else has
Allah commanded us to join? When Allah gives us a command, any command any instruction, whether it
is to pray, or it is to be good to others, any command that Allah has given to us? Is it that he has
given it to us so that we ignore it or that we follow it? Why did Allah give us that command? So
that we follow it? And following it means joining it metaphorically? Not literally, but
		

			metaphorically. So Allah has commanded that every instruction that he is given, we must abide by it,
we must follow it. But those who disregard the commands of Allah, those who disobey Allah, what are
they doing, cutting what Allah subhanaw taala has commanded must be joined. In other words, they are
disobedient to Allah Yakata own Amma Amma Allahu be a useful third characteristic. While you have
Sedona fill out and they create mischief in the earth. They create disorder, they spread corruption
in the earth that Allah subhanaw taala has created. Does Allah like facade? No. Allah tells us
explicitly in the Quran that he does not like facade. So a person when he does facade, what is he
		

			doing? First? He's getting out of the bounds that Allah subhanaw taala has set for him.
		

			The question is, what is facade? facade is corruption disorder. What are the two types of facade?
The first type of facade is to create disorder in the earth itself, the physical earth like for
example, pollution, destroying buildings, bombing places, killing people, this is what facade fill
out. The other type of sadness, facade, he lit up amongst the dwellers of the Earth, like for
example, lying, cheating, backbiting. So the first thing, what do they do? They create facade in the
earth. And I told you earlier that facade is done by disobeying Allah, any act of disobedience. What
is it facade, it's going to lead to disorder. When you backbite someone when you cheat someone when
		

			an innocent person is killed. So while you have Sedona filled out, meaning they're busy disobeying
Allah, causing disorder, havoc on Earth, harming other people, no person is safe from them. What do
we learn from the Hadees that almost
		

			slim woman Saleemul Muslim Mona Melissa and he were the he the Muslim is the one from Mustang and
hands. Other Muslims are safe. But these people what do they do? They harm other people. Well, you
have Sedona fill out. Allah says Hola, Erica Herman hos the rune such people, what are they has your
own costume as the plural of CA certs from the root letters has seen rock Hassan and Hassan is to
lose out to be a loser. It is to not gain profit. When a person does any action, does he do it in
order to gain some benefit out of it? For example, you eat something Why are you eating just for the
sake of eating? Either to get pleasure or to get energy or to satisfy your hunger? Any action that
		

			we do, it's always for a reason. It's always in order to get some benefit. That benefit is the gain.
So they are hos your own, meaning they get nothing out of what they do no benefit. Instead, what did
they gain? Only punishment? No reward. So Allah eco one costume. They're great losers. Why are they
losers? Because they will not get the reward. One person is obedient and other person has
disobedient are both equal? No, the one who's obedient. Is he going to get something? Yes, he's
going to get reward and the one who's disobedient? Is he going to get reward? No, he's not going to
get reward. So Isn't he a loser? Yes, one person is equal studies for his test and gets good marks.
		

			The other is he who does not bother to study? Will he get good marks? No, he's a loser. One person
good. The other person was a loser. So it will Aika who will cause you know they're losers, why?
Because they will not get reward, they will not get any benefit. What do we learn from this verse?
The first characteristic is off disobeying Allah, not worshiping Allah, not being obedient to Allah,
rather being disobedient to Allah. So anytime, a person falls short, in doing what is obligatory,
like for example, Salah, he does not perform salah or a person does what Allah has forbidden, then
who is he, a fasciae.
		

			He is a facet because he is not doing what Allah has commanded him and he is doing what Allah has
forbidden him. He's a facet. That's the first quality of the facet pain.
		

			Another thing that we learned from this is that the characteristic of the Versafine is that they cut
off what Allah has commanded, that it should be joined. And at the top of the list is what
relatives, Blood Ties ties of kinship. We learn from a hadith the Prophet sallallahu sallam said,
that layer, the whole Janita Patera there's a hadith in Bukhari,
		

			a person who cuts off his blood ties with his relatives. Such a person will not enter paradise.
Forget about all the good deeds he's done. Forget about the Hajj that he went to forget about
anything good he did. He cut off ties with his relatives, he is not not entering paradise.
		

			Is that scary? Is that worrisome? It is. You see problems with relatives? Is it something normal? Do
you get into arguments with your brothers and sisters? Has it ever happened that perhaps your aunt
or your uncle said something to you that you hated that you did not like? And because of that every
time you see them, you're haunted by what they said, You dislike them? Perhaps something that your
grandparents did, perhaps something that your father did, perhaps something that your cousin did,
perhaps something that any relative of yours did? Does that happen? It happens. Having problems with
relatives is something that is normal. However, cutting off ties with the relatives, that is not
		

			normal. That is not acceptable. That is a deed that wastes the good deeds of a person that leads him
to hellfire. This is something very, very serious layer, the whole Janita Katerra
		

			where we see that people have many excuses, many justifications for cutting off ties with the
relatives. Oh, they're so bad. She said this to me, my aunt, she's so horrible with me. My
grandparents did this to me and my mother. They have been so evil than ever gave us our share of
inheritance. They never do this. They never do that we have a list of complaints. And perhaps they
are right. Perhaps they are justified.
		

			But still we see no matter what our relatives, it is not permissible for us that we got off our ties
with them. We learned that a smattering of Ibaka who was she? The daughter of Ibaka Lila and who the
sister of our a shuttle they learn how the wife of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam her mother was in
which Tikka she was a mushrik woman and she did not do Hijra to Medina. You know when people
migrated from Mecca to Medina, Abu Bakr Al Delano was in Makkah
		

			He came to Medina a smart to learn who came to Medina but a smarter they learn his mother. She
remained a more strict she stayed in Makkah she did not emigrate to Medina. However, once she came
to Medina to visit her daughter, so she went to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and she said, My
mother is coming. Should I let her in? Judo meet her?
		

			Should I speak with her? The Prophet sallallahu sallam said yes, slightly murky. Join relations with
your mother, meaning don't cut off from her. Even if your relative is a non Muslim, you are not
allowed to cut off ties with them. Can you imagine? If a person associates partners with Allah
rejects, ALLAH does not give the hug of Allah still you are not allowed to cut off ties with them,
then how do you think that we can cut off ties with them just because they said something harsh to
us? Just because they did not invite us over? Just because they did not give us a gift. Just because
it didn't show up at your wedding? Is that really a great crime compared to associating partners
		

			with Allah? Is it? No, the hack of Allah is always greater than the hack of people. Still, Allah
says, maintain ties with them. To us not only learn who was given that advice, but the Prophet
salallahu Salam, why do you think it is necessary to maintain ties with your relatives? Why is it
such a big deal? If we don't know we're not going to do it? We have to know the reason. We have to
know the benefit. What's the benefit? What do you think?
		

			Because Allah has made that relationship between us and them. It was the decision of who? Allah
subhanaw taala who chooses their parents, who chooses their siblings, who chooses their cousins, who
chooses their aunts and uncles? Nobody does that. Who makes this decision for us? Allah subhanaw
taala alone, and we have no choice with regards to it.
		

			We learned earlier that a facet because he who objects at the statements of Allah, mother or the law
who we had
		

			an affair said because also the one who does not accept the decision of Allah.
		

			Why else do you think it's necessary for us to maintain Dido relatives? It's a highly rewardable
act. It's a deed that brings a lot of reward. I'll tell you are Hadith Prophet sallallahu sallam
said, Whoever wants more wealth, and whoever wants to live longer than he should keep good relations
with his kith and kin.
		

			More wealth, more life. Who doesn't want that? Everybody wants that. It's a higher ORTABLE deed.
		

			We learn from another Hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that the word Allah, Allah
him was used for the womb in Arabic language. So Allah derives its name from a rash, man Latin or
Eman. So whoever keeps good relations with it than Allah who will keep good relations with him. You
want to have a good relationship with your Lord. He wants it if you're in a difficulty, Allah should
always help you.
		

			If you want good relationship with your Lord, what do you need to do? Keep good relationship with
who your relatives, and whoever will cut off his blood ties than Allah do will sever his relations
with him. A person who cuts off from his relatives, a lot will cut off from him.
		

			If a person can tolerate his closest family members, his patience level, his tolerance level isn't
going to go higher. Imagine your siblings, you know them, you live with them. Or even if you don't
like them, do you not have to call them every now? And then? Yes, but every time they say something
hurtful, every time they annoy you and you're patient isn't going to increase your patient's level?
Yes, it will. So if you can bear them, can you not bear other people? Yes, you can. But if you
cannot tolerate them, can you tolerate other people, you cannot tolerate them. And if you cannot
tolerate your family members, you cannot tolerate the people in this world, then what would this
		

			lead to people harming other people all the time. And this is exactly what's going on. People don't
have any respect for humanity. People don't have any respect for human beings, that it leads to
many, many wrong things. That cutting off ties with your relatives may lead to many other problems
as well many other sins as well.
		

			Like for example, if a person cuts off ties with his brother, he's not going to talk to him. Is it
going to talk bad about him? Yes.
		

			It's going to lead to Riba. Perhaps it's going to lead to accusing them of something that they never
committed because you have to make them seem very evil.
		

			So many times people have come up with their own stories, and it's all false, isn't it? It leads to
lying.
		

			For example, children are told no, you don't have any uncles or aunts whereas in reality they do.
Isn't that a big lie?
		

			Isn't that depriving children of who their relatives are? Yes. So it leads to many other sins. So we
see that maintaining ties with relatives is important because A, it keeps us human. B, it makes us
more tolerant. See, it's a source of great reward. D, it leads to many good deeds. This is why it's
essential that we must maintain ties with our relatives, we must not cut off from them, we must have
a big heart.
		

			If you think about it, there's no family that can claim we have no family problems.
		

			Every person or at least every family has some problem. Like for example, two cousins got married,
they got divorced. And now the whole family is cut off.
		

			What are some of the reasons why people cut off ties with their relatives, okay, they had a family
business, they wanted the son to work with them, he decides not to work with them. Instead, he wants
to do something else. And that said he's cut off. He's told he will not get any inheritance, you
will not get anything from this business, you have no share in it cut off just because he made an
independent decision, which he has a right to do.
		

			Okay, distribution of inheritance or wealth amongst children, which causes them to cut off from one
another unfair distribution. Yes, for example, a man decides he's going to marry particular woman.
And the parents say if you may her you don't know us. A girl decides to marry your man. The parents
say if you may him, we don't know you, you know, forget me. Think of me as dead. People say such an
original statements, isn't it? But these are very big statements that can have great consequences.
The profit side of the Hudson said layer the whole agenda out their own layer, the whole janitor
caught their own this is something very, very serious. So the faster cleaner who those who cut off
		

			ties with their relatives.
		

			Now one is to cut off ties with them, and the other is maintaining ties with them. Is there a
difference? Yes, cutting off ties means I don't know you, you don't know me maintaining ties as
what? That because they're your relatives, you meet them every so often, you speak them every so
often, when you go visit them, you take something for them, you give a gift to them, when you visit
them. This is what maintaining ties with relatives is that important. That is also important. Why?
Because we human beings need one another. We cannot live independently, we cannot live alone,
because we go through times of happiness and grief. And at these times, we need the support of other
		

			people, especially that of our close relatives. So that is also essential. Right. And that is what
keeps human beings human. That is what creates love and affection for other people in our hearts. So
it's very important that if you have relatives living around you in the city in this country, visit
them, meet them, talk to them. And if they're not in this country there abroad, then still make the
effort to talk to them every so often, or at least visit them every so often. Whenever is possible.
Now one problem. A person might say, I tried to be good with my relatives, but they're so evil with
me. This way, I hate them.
		

			Have you heard such words? Yes. They are so mean to me. I give them a gift. They never give me a
gift. I visit them every two years. They never visit me. I go and stay with them. They never come
and stay with me. I invite them over for meals, they never come.
		

			They never invite me. I send gifts for their children. They don't even know the names of my
children. Is that possible? Yes, it is possible. So is it justified in this case to cut off ties
with them? Or to not maintain relationships with them? Is it but if you meet them, you're going to
be hurt. Then why is it justified?
		

			The Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Al wersal Al was when I'm paraphrasing the Hadith, Al was
well meaning the one who joins relation is not the one who maintains good ties with his relatives
that if they're good to him, he's good to them. But rather Alaska is the one who when his relatives
cut off from him. He joins his ties with them.
		

			That those who are mean to you, you are good to them. Those who cut off from you, you join with
them. This is what we are commanded to do.
		

			And this is a Hadith which is in Sahih Bukhari
		

			another Hadith tells us that a man came to the Prophet sort of artists alum and he said that I have
relatives with whom I tried to have close relationship but this ever this relation. I tried to meet
them. I tried to be good with them, but they always cut off for me. It's like, I try to take the
initiative but they always ignore me. They always keep a distance from me. You know, I try to talk
to them, but they're so cold. I try to talk to them, but they don't, you know, have a conversation
with me. I treat them well, but they
		

			treat me ill, I am good to them, but they're harsh towards me. So the prophets of autism said, if it
is, so as you say, then you in fact throw hot ashes. You know, basically you're the winner. And
there will always remain with you on behalf of Allah and Angel to support you. There would always
remain with you on behalf of Allah, some support against them, who would keep you dominant over them
so long as you adhere to this path of righteousness. So as long as you do this, Allah's help will
always be with you.
		

			This is why it's worth it. Do you all know about the names of your uncle denotes their children,
your cousins, you know, I'll give you a homework, actually want this to be followed up in groups?
And if possible, inshallah we'll try to assign marks to this, to make sure every single one of you
do it. Make a family tree, if you have children, make a family tree with your children. If you have
siblings, get them involved as well know who your relatives are.
		

			How far back obviously, the extended family can be huge, right? I mean, you can have grandparents,
your great grandparents, but at least your parents, their parents, their children, so your brothers
and sisters, their children, your uncles and aunts, their spouses, their children, at least this
much. And if you do have other relatives who are alive, even if they're very distant, and you know
them, you are terms with them, meaning you meet one another every now and then so children should
also know how you are related with them. For example, a distant aunt children have no idea who this
distant aunt is, they should know who she is your grandmother's cousin, for example. So make sure
		

			you do this inshallah.
		

			Okay, the question is that what if you got in a fight with your friend, and so you don't talk to
them? Is that altar wrong? Yes, it is wrong. Because my Allah, Allah will be a useful. Allah has not
just told us to maintain ties with our relatives, but he has also created a bond of brotherhood
sisterhood between believers. We are supposed to maintain friendship with our brothers and sisters
in Islam, which is why we see that if a person ends up in a fight with another believer and does not
speak to them, he is not allowed to not speak to them for more than three days.
		

			Your fight cannot go beyond three days. Okay? Remember, there are different levels of friendship.
Someone is a best buddy with you. And other is not that close with you. But doesn't mean that when
they pass by you, you don't look at them. When you see them you don't say salaam to them? No you
should. We have to maintain the sky.
		

			So yeah, Corona and what Allah who be a nuisance? What's the next attribute that they create facade
in the earth? If you think about it facade fell off. This is a result of what breaking promise with
Allah, disobeying Allah and severing bonds of kinship. It leads to facade fill up such people what
are they? Losers? They think that they're winners, but in reality, what are the losers
