Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P01 010D Tafsir Al-Baqarah 54-59

Okay, let's continue with our lesson

where it Carla who said he called me he and recall and remember when Musa alayhis salam said to his people who were his people who was his nation, the Bani Israel, the word comb is from the root letters of whelming. And this word is going to come many, many times in the Quran. The word column is used for a group of people, a nation who have one feature at least the unifies them, either they are of the same race or they are of the same religion, or they live in the same city, the same country. So who is pole nation one people? When we started listen, I'm set to his people. He said to them that yeah, Comey Oh my people owe me notice the word Comey we're translating it as my people

where did the meaning of my come from? The Khasra under the meme was actually a year over there but that yeah has been eliminated. Just as we learned earlier, the coup knee federal her boo knee so similarly Yeah, go meet it means my people all my people intercom indeed you long term and foster calm, you have done learn on yourselves. You have committed injustice against yourselves, how beat the whole the qumola a jeweler by or taking the calf, by or taking the calf for worship, when you worship the calf? Who did you commit injustice against yourself? When a person commits a sin when a person does something wrong? In fact, who is he harming himself? So Musa Suriname tells us people

when you worship the cough you in fact committed injustice against yourself in the Cumberland tomb and full circle and first is from the root letters no unforeseen and is the plural of the word. Nuff snuffs a singular and emphasis plural and Ludlum Tomino is literal letters Lola meme and bit jihadi comm it the hard is from the root letters Hamza.

Notice how the Bani Israel committed a great crime by worshipping the cuff. It's a major sin committing should cause a major sin. But look at how Musa al Islam is addressing them. Yeah, Comey all my people. Why does he address them in this way? Yeah, Comey. This, first of all shows the love that he had for his people, the affection that he had for his people, that no matter what great crimes they committed, still, he was tender hearted towards them. Still, he was guiding towards them. And the fact is that unless and until we have this kind of love for people, we cannot help them. What happens is that if there is someone we know, someone from our family, or our friends, if

they do something wrong, we develop a hatred for them. And we begin to dislike them. And we avoid them. We don't speak to them, we become very harsh with them. This is not the solution. If you want to correct someone, you have to show your love and care. Because if you don't show your love and care what's going to happen, they're going to become a verse from you. This is just like children when they do something wrong. If you yell at them, if you frighten them, are they going to listen to you? Not at all. But if you speak to them lovingly, kindly, are they going to listen to you? Yes, because they know that you care for them and that you don't hit them. So when you show to the other

person you hate them, they will turn off their ears. But when you show that you love them, then they will listen to you. So Musa alayhis salam addressed them with a lot of love your Comey. And secondly, he addressed them in this way to show that he was there wellwisher to show that he was sincere to them. And in fact, he was a well wisher to them. So he said, Oh my people in fact, you have done wrong on yourselves. You have committed injustice against yourselves by worshipping the calf. Why is he telling them about their sin? He's making them realize about the wrongs that they have done. Typically, when somebody does something wrong, what do we do? We ignore them, or we

become angry with them and we don't speak to them we just be quiet. This is not the solution. If you want to correct someone tell them the mistake that they have made. Don't avoid them and give them a cold shoulder know, point out the mistake in a proper way so that they also know the wrongs that they have done. Yeah, call me in the complainant and fossa committee hottie Kamala Angela. But then he doesn't just make them feel guilty and leave them Oh, you're so horrible. You did something wrong? No, he gives them a solution as well. And what's the solution? For doable, elaborate econ. All of you repent to your Creator, turn back to your Lord, turn in repentance to him. Sometimes we

just make people feel guilty and we don't give them a solution. Musa Sinha makes a great iser mistake and he tells them what to do to goo Dubois from the root letters that well, but never YouTube. What does the word Toba mean? Repentance. What is repentance that a person stops doing the

wrong thing and he becomes a good person. He leaves the wrong action and he becomes a better person. This is what we know what repentance is. But what's the literal meaning of the word Toba? To turn back that you're going one way, but then you stop, and then you turn back. This is what Oba literally means. What is the OVA in our shittier? What does the word ova mean? What does the concept of Toba include? The concept of Toba includes many many things. First of all, the ova includes realization, realization of what of the sin, the wrong action that a person is doing? realisation but then, is it enough to realize that a person is doing something wrong? Is that sufficient? No.

Secondly, you have to feel regret in your heart, that I should not be doing this. I should stop it. I wish I had not done it. Why am I doing it? So after realisation comes regret remorse that you feel sorry about doing it. Thirdly, it means to leave the sin. The next step is that you leave this and you relinquish it, you stop it. Not that a person is doing something wrong. This is your I know I shouldn't be doing it. I feel very horrible about it. But I do it anyway. That's not the Oba though but is that if you've promised, you're not going to do something wrong again, you don't do it again. You realize you feel guilty, you feel horrible, and you stop it, you don't repeat it. And for that

you need determination, then after leaving the sin, after relinquishing the sin, the fourth step, the next step is to better oneself to improve oneself. For example, if a person makes up his mind that that's it after today, I'm not going to listen to music. First of all, realize this is wrong. Secondly, have regret. Thirdly, stop now that the music is blasting in your garden isn't Yeah, I shouldn't be listening to it. No, stop. And then you reform. How do you reform that you make yourself a better person, that the sin that was committed in the past, you seek forgiveness for it that Oh, Allah, forgive me for having done this before, forgive me Have mercy on me. And then a

person strives to be better, that he stays away from that and does something good instead makes up for the wrong that was done with what good deeds that are performed. And reform sometimes also includes taking the legal punishment. For example, if a person has committed such a crime that requires a legal punishment, then it means the person takes the legal punishment as well. Or that if a person has to pay a fine for that he gives the fine for that. He has to make up for it in some way or the other he makes up for it doesn't mean that you stayed and then you say, Okay, I'm never going to do it again. But let me keep this. No, you're not keeping it, you're giving it back. You have to

give it back. You're not going to keep it with yourself. And then after that, the fifth step is to have a firm resolve, meaning to never repeat the same again, that a person makes up his mind his firm, he is never ever going to go back to it again. This is what Toba means. So Musa said I'm told his people for doable repent, turn back to who elaborate II come to your Creator, meaning leave the worship of the curve, feel guilty about it, seek forgiveness and promise that you're never ever going to go back to it again. However, remember part of doba is reform, that if a punishment is required, that is taken, some legal action is required that is taken for doable in a very equal. The

word baddie is from the root letters Bell all Hamza and Berry is one of the names of Allah subhanaw, taala. And Baba is to create something perfectly without any flaw. What does it mean to create something perfectly, but the same it is the word buddy buddy is one who is innocent, meaning someone who is not guilty who was not committed anything wrong. their criminal record is perfect, it is clean. So Barry is one who create something perfectly without any flaw. And Barry is also one who creates something new for the first time Innovator for doable in a very calm, repent to your Creator. Question. Why doesn't most artisans simply say repent to Allah for taboo in Allah? Why bad

econ. What they worshiped was a cough. And who made that cough? They themselves. So the object that they had made themselves they were worshipping that isn't worthy of worship? No, because they had made it themselves and who is worthy of worship, the one who has made you, the one who has created you, he deserves your worship. So repent to your Creator, the one who made you he deserves your worship, not the one that you have made yourself for to elaborate EComm question that if a person does the woman he makes a promise he's never going to repeat that sin again. But then he does it

then what do they have again? Your human being? It doesn't mean that have a weak resolve No, have a firm resolve be determined. But then if you slip afterwards, don't say, Oh yeah, since I've done this mistake once again, forget it. I'll do it again and again. And do it over again and do it over again and be sincere in your repentance and Allah subhanaw taala will make you firm on it.

But this doba required from the Bani Israel, not just that they should stop worshipping the calf, but they also had to take the legal punishment. And what was that punishment? fucka Tulu and forsaken? So kill yourselves. Fuck Lulu pasture lamb cattle, cattle is to kill kill who and forsaken unforce is a plural of knifes. Kill yourself doesn't mean that each person had to commit suicide. No. Enforce over here means your own people. Because a nation is like one body. Like for example the Muslim ummah, what do we learn that we are like one body, if one part hurts, the other also feels the pain. So faculty Lu and fossa calm this means kill those amongst you who have worshipped the

calf. Because when Musa al Islam was gone, the Bani Israel became divided. A group of people made the calf and worship the calf, and the rest of them did not worship the calf. They were the ones who listened to Harun Ernie Salaam and they did not worship the calf. So there was a divide amongst the Bani Israel, some who had committed the crime who are guilty, and others who were innocent. So those who were guilty, what was their punishment that they have to be killed? Imagine they had to be killed. And bizarrely Salam said to them, that valley come highroller come that is better for you, during Toba in this way, or in the bed equal near your Creator, why this punishment? Why is such a

harsh punishment? The bunny is right you because they were the chosen people, they were the favorite people, when Allah subhanaw taala bestowed special favors on them when they did something wrong. That was also a very, very big deal. There is an expression in the Arabic language that has an Atul abroad, Seattle Makara been that the good deeds of righteous people are like the shortcomings of those who are very, very high up there. In other words, the greater the rank of a person, then the greater the expectations are from him. So if he makes a mistake, if he does something wrong, then what does that mean? The punishment is also going to be very, very severe. For example, if a person

is high up in the government, and if he commits treachery, what's his punishment? Is he going to be forgiven, he just has to be a fine like any other person of the country like any other citizen, no, he is going to suffer greater consequences. Similarly, if there are people who are in the government who are in the army, and they do something wrong, then the consequences are much more severe for them compared to the rest of the people much, much more severe. The higher your level, the greater the restrictions, the greater the expectations. So the Bani Israel, Allah subhanaw taala had bestowed many, many favors on the imagine the sea was parted for them, this side with their own

eyes, for their own was killed right before them. Just imagine huge favours were bestowed upon them. And then on top of that, they worship the calf. That was not a small crime on their part, it was a huge crime. And because it was a huge crime, the punishment was also very, very great. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, because great favors were bestowed on them. This is why the punishment was also very, very great. And also the religion. The law was very, very strict for the Bani Israel compared to the religion being strict for us. There are certain restrictions on us but for the Bani Israel in their religion was made harder. There were more restrictions on them. Why?

For different reasons, a because they were given many special favors and be because despite the many favors, they also committed many crimes and when they committed crimes, the religion became harder upon them. Faculty and fullcycle Valley complete a lacuna in the very ICO. And when they did that, for whatever they can then he turned in mercy on you. Notice the word doba is also being used for Allah subhanaw taala who does Toba? The servant does though but to Allah we do know what to Allah, but Allah Allah, the stowa to his servant, how that delta is different doba on the part of Allah subhanaw taala means turning in mercy to His servant, accepting his repentance, forgiving him. So

photogra Aleykum you turned in Toba? Allah also accepted your repentance. Why? Because in the who who had the wobble Rahim? Indeed he he is the greatest acceptor of repentance and also the one who is repeatedly merciful. The name of Allah subhanaw taala the world

There's a shadow on the wall, when shut down there is should they in the meaning as well. When the word is intense, there is intensity in the meaning as well. So, the word is not just one Who accepts repentance, but the one Who accepts repentance again and again and again from the same person. For example, think about yourself, have you sought forgiveness only once in your entire life? How many times do you seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala again and again and again many times a day. Why? Because we make mistakes again and again. Now imagine, we make mistakes. We seek Allah's forgiveness, Allah forgives. If a person came and apologized to you once for something wrong, they

did. You forgive them, you accept their apology, they do it again. Okay, you give them a second chance they do it again, you give them a third chance. They come for the fifth or sixth time, what do you say? Forget him. I'm not going to accept this apology. You're not serious at all. But Allah subhanaw taala. He is a to where

he accepts repentance from the same servant from the same person again and again and again. And he accepts repentance not just from one person, but from all those who turn in repentance to him. And how many are they? Allah, Allah knows their number. We cannot even count the number of people who seek forgiveness from Allah. And Allah accepts the repentance of every single one of them. And on top of that, Allah accepts repentance for not just ordinary sins, but even the greatest sins. Imagine a person commits schicke ascribes partners with Allah subhanaw taala, the greatest crime, Allah also accepts his repentance. Do you remember the story of that person who had killed 99

people? And then he went to a person who was very righteous, very pious, Allah him a worshiper, and he said, I've committed these crimes. Is there any trouble for me? He said, No. So he killed him. He committed 100 murders. And then he went to another person. And he said, Is there any forgiveness for me? That was a knowledgeable man? And he said, Yes, you just leave your people. Because when you're amongst them, you commit crimes, leave them and go somewhere else. And he was on his way, when the angel of death came. And then we know if there was an argument between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment. So Allah subhanaw taala told the earth to expand so that the angels of Mercy

would take his soul, he was forgiven. Just imagine Allah is at the web. Remember that Schick is the greatest sin and there is no forgiveness for it unless a person does Toba. Like, for example, a person was a non Muslim, they did shake but then they did tell but they became a Muslim. Is there no forgiveness for them? Of course there is. What it means is that other sins Allah can forgive even without doba Allah can forgive other sins even if a person does not repent, if Allah wants, but chick is something that ALLAH does not forgive unless a person repents. In the who, who at the level, Rahim Allah is the Greatest acceptor of repentance. And he's also a Rahim, the one who is

repeatedly merciful. Again and again he shows mercy to his creatures. Earlier we learned that Allah subhanaw taala said that you took the god for worship, and then he pardoned you, he forgave you. And now we learn that they had to take the punishment. Remember, the forgiveness comes when a person does though but if you don't apologize, would you be forgiven? You have to offer some kind of apology. And bard of repentance is what taking the punishment over here for Thurber alaykum Inna, who who are to Weber Rahim.

What lessons do we learn in this verse? Any mistake we made any sin that has been committed, no matter how big it may be, what do we need to do? Turn to Allah. Never, ever feel shy of saying sorry to your Lord. Never. Because Allah is very generous. He is very kind. We feel shy of saying sorry to people. Why? Because we're afraid they're not going to forgive us. We're afraid they're gonna say something harsh to us. They're gonna say something mean to us. But Allah He is at the web. So no matter what we have done, always turn back to Allah. Because Allah alone forgive sins, we may have heard the Aruba, illa Allah. What else do we learn in this verse? That when we do something wrong,

in fact, we are harming ourselves. So if we care about ourselves, what do we need to do? Repent, seek forgiveness, that if we see somebody doing something wrong, like Masada said, I'm sorry, his people doing something wrong that how should we approach them in a nice way, point out their mistake and also tell them what to do? musasa the one who pointed out their mistake and he told them what to do, how to seek forgiveness.

Let's continue. What if Gautam and when you said yeah Musa Musa and

Learn no Minella aka never ever will we believe in you learn not Mina Luca, when did the Bani Israel say this? Remember, all of these verses are coming in sequence that the Bani Israel were enslaved by for their own Allah subhanaw taala save them. The sea was parted for them they crossed safely round round with his people, the Bani Israel, we're in the desert. And then what happened before they continued with their lives Allah subhanaw taala called Musar Islam to mentor so that the book would be given to them for their guidance while he was gone, they started worshiping the calf. Then what happened was I listened and returned. And he told them what you're doing this wrong, seek

forgiveness from Allah turned independent. So they did the Toba. They took the punishment. And then what happened? And what's our lesson on came he wanted to them what their mistake was the third what was done, what did he bring with him? The thorough when he gave him the thorough the Bani Israel, some of them those who had remained, they said we're never going to listen to you. We're never going to accept that this is from Allah. Len. Nope Minella Nope. Mina Hamza, Mamoon. Eman and Iman when the word is followed by Lee, nope. Mina laka. When it is followed by lamb, then it means to listen to someone to accept what they're saying, to obey them. So they said we're never going to listen to

you. We're never going to accept that this book is from Allah. Hector until not Allah we see Allah. Not all raw Hamza. Yeah, Raja Raja Yoon is to see and from that narrow we see the noon gives meaning of week until we see Allah how Jonathan openly Jehovah Jeem her.

Jehovah is when something is said or done in such a way that it is seen or it is heard. If I whisper Can you hear me? If I talk about something in a closed room? Can you hear me? When can you hear me? When I say out loud in front of you, loudly. Similarly, if an action is done in a closed room, can you see it? No. But if it's done openly, publicly, can you come to know of it? Yes, you can. This is what Jehovah is. There is a serious Salah and Japanese Salah suddenly salah is the Salah in which the Imam when he recites the Quran, how does he recite it silently like Laura and ASA and Jerry salah is the one in which he recites the Quran loudly like Fajr Maghrib Isha. Why is it called God?

Because he's saying out loud that the rest of the people can hear him? So Hatton, Allah had Johanna, what does it mean by this until we see Allah openly? Meaning we want to see Allah clearly. When we see Allah with our own eyes, then we're going to believe that yes, this book is from Allah, and we will accept you seeing the sea park before them Wasn't that enough of a miracle? Then the Torah that was given to them. It was in the form of tablets, it was pre written. It wasn't like Musala cynap was reciting the verses to them. No, it was the physical book. It was written for them on tablets. Seeing these great signs even was not enough for them out of their pride out of their stubbornness.

They said we want to say Hola, if we see a lot then we will listen to you. What happened then? For a while that come then it sees you Hamza Hodel. It sees you what seas do you assign your car to the Thunderbolt. We have done the Word of solaric earlier saw the rain cough solaric Thunderbolt, this is the singular form sorry, a thunderbolt. And what is the Thunderbolt? A bolt of lightning that falls from the sky along with a huge blasting sound. So the word Sarika in the Quran is used for a thunderbolt. And it's also used for punishment for a while that como Sarika to what Anton Tarun and you were looking at meaning you saw the Thunderbolt falling from the sky on you. You saw it coming

on you, you were punished for that demand. What do we learn over here, that when we make incorrect demands, then such demands are punishable. So my birth intercom then we raised you birth now Berrien sir Bertha is to raise to resurrect that a person has died and Allah subhanaw taala gives them life again. Birth is resurrection, so we resurrected you mimbar the multicam after your death mode, meanwhile, tell that you had died when the Thunderbolt struck you you were finished but Allah He gave you life again learn Macintosh Quran so that you will be grateful, grateful for your life for another chance to live. What do we learn in these verses? We learn about the pride of Bani Israel,

the foolishness of Bani Israel. They knew that Musa Saddam was in fact the messenger. They knew that Allah subhanaw taala had saved them yet they demanded to see Allah. When a person makes such a demand, I will not believe in God unless I see him. This has not been

intellectual because Allah has given us many, many signs that prove to us about his existence about His Majesty about his love and concern and care that he asked for us. And if a person says I want to see Allah only then I'll believe this is pride. And pride does not fit those people who walk on the earth because their status is lowly they walk on the earth. They're not up in the skies. Where are they on the earth and pride does not fit us. Musa Anna said I had also requested to see Allah subhanaw taala. He requested Allah He said, I'll be Eleni under a lake or Allah show me yourself. I want to see you when he made that request that was out of love. That was out of iman. But when the

Bani Israel EO made the same request, it was out of doubt and pride. This is why they were punished for that. We have to be very careful. Then we also seen this verse that upon being forgiven, or upon being saved from the consequences of one's actions, a person must be grateful. Allah subhanaw taala says over here, some of birth now come embody multicom La La con, Tasha Quran, so be grateful. You see how the Bani Israel were just finishing or reducing their numbers since they were saved from funeral? A whole lot of them got killed. Why? Because of their worship of the cuff, then what happened? They were killed because of their demand. But then Allah subhanaw taala give them life

again. Why was this happening? Why are they making such demands? Why were they making such huge errors? Because their minds were still enslaved. They had lived in slavery for a very, very long time. And when a person lives as a slave, then what is his concern? Work, so that you can make whatever food or little enjoyment that you're gonna get work, money, work money, that is all that his life revolves around. There's nothing beyond that. He doesn't think about improving his health. He doesn't think about traveling or learning, experiencing different things. He's just bound to a certain life pattern. And when a person becomes like that, then he stops growing spiritually and

mentally, he stops using his mind. And unfortunately, this is a state of many, many people today. Our lives they revolve around what? Studying so that you can work so that you can make money so that you can pay your bills so that you can be happy. But then what about tomorrow? What about the hereafter? What about everything else? What about the family, and we see that when people get lost in the cycle, then they ignore themselves. They ignore their families, they ignore the community. They ignore many, many important things and people because they become selfish, they stop using their minds. It's amazing how in this modern slavery, we have become so used to gadgets and certain

things that we cannot survive without them. And we don't care about the consequences it is having on the planet, that people are so concerned about only fulfilling their desires, buying one thing after the other, moving on from one gadget to another that we forget about its consequences on this planet, that we become heedless creatures. Heedless, careless, Allah subhanaw taala says will voluntarily come and we shed it upon you will Lella from the root lala land from the word lil little means shadow. We shed it upon you or lay calm. Aloha mama the clouds Oh, mom is from the rulers Lane me me. And Romain was used for clouds. Some say it's a generic word use for clouds just as an

English language we say the word cloud for which kind of cloud? Any cloud, whether big or small rain cloud or hail cloud, gray or white, any color? Any type? What do we use the word cloud? Similarly in the Arabic language as well the word home is used for that. Are there say that Aloma is a specific kind of a cloud, the one that is white, that seems very light, not a heavy rain cloud, but white and very bright and also appears to be very light. So we shaded on you the cloud. We're unza net relay COMM And We sent down upon you URL man, the man was Salwa and Salwa. What is unmanned men is a proper name and Salwa is also a proper name. It is said that man, if you look at the Arabic word,

man, it's from the letters meme, no noon. And Munna is to show favoritism. What a huge favor. Man was food that was given to the Bani Israel as a huge favor on them. When the Bani Israel crossed the sea, on their way to Palestine, where did they end up in the desert in the plane of Sinai? What food grows there in a desert? Are there any rest houses? Are there any hotels that you could check in for some time and pay the bills later? Were there any restaurants? No, were there any gas stations? They were in the desert, out in the open and when you're traveling through a desert, especially at that time

You wouldn't have any access to food or water unless you brought some supplies with you. And how long can those supplies last? They had no source of food or water or even any shelter. They were out in the desert. If you're going through a forest, okay, there are trees. Okay? There are mountains. They're huge rocks, but they were in the desert. And if you're in the desert, tell me what are you going to take shade under? You have nothing. So Allah subhanaw taala out of His mercy, what did he do? He caused the clouds to shade them. He caused the clouds to be right above them to provide them shade to protect them from the heat and the sun. And secondly, he also sent upon them food heavenly

food from the skies, man and Salwa it is at that man is a honey like substance that is sweet. And it is at that it was like honey, like do you know in the morning when you ever go outside, the grass is wet, even though it hasn't rained? Why? Because it's due. So it was you that was very sweet. It would descend early morning, early morning mist, it was like a desert, something very sweet that they could enjoy. Then, Salwa Sunhwa. It is said that at some kind of a bird, so bird meat is what they were provided to eat. And this food, they wouldn't have to go somewhere form lines wait in the queue for a very long time and then eventually it would be given to them. No, it was sent upon them

from the sky. They had to undergo no difficulty, no hardship in order to get this food. They didn't have to spend money. They didn't have to put in any effort. Allah subhanaw taala sent this food on them voluntarily Kamala Rama what Enza narrowly can women, Noah Salwa and Allah said Kuno eat Kulu from the reflectors Hamza calf lamb Akella. To eat, we have done the word cooler in the story of Adam Allison and cooler you to eat Kulu all of you eat. So all of you eat men play Uberti of the good things, but you bet florala For yerba, but you guys will do that restore yerba. And for you is that which is clean, pure, but also good. For example, food how is it good? When it is clean? Then

it's healthy, it's nutritious, when it's delicious, don't forget the taste and the looks and the fragrance all of that is included Coolum into EBIT Eat of the good things that matters of an outcome which We have provided you was gonna Rosa but what did they do the aid of it, but they were ungrateful. So Allah says woman Ala Moana with their ingratitude. They did not wronged us wala mu la la meme, they could not cause us any harm by their ingratitude. Whatever can but can do their work and Fusa home yields of the moon, they wrong themselves. They committed injustice against themselves when they were ungrateful. Who were they harming themselves? They could not cause any harm to Allah

subhanaw taala at all. What do we learn in this verse? First of all, we learn that shade is a blessing of Allah Subhana Allah cause clouds to shade the Bani Israel. We enjoy shadow all the time, even right now. But do we ever look at it as a blessing? Hardly ever. Imagine if we had to be exposed to the heat of the sun all of the time. Yes, we love the sun. We love it when it's sunny. We love it when it's warm. Or when the sun is directly on you. It gets a bit too much to handle. It is out of the fairies of Allah subhanaw taala out of His mercy that he has bestowed this blessing on us this blessing of shade. Allah says in surah Nahal 81 Will Allah Who Jaren Allah co mimma Holika Lila

Allah that Allah has made for you from that which He has created shadows. Allah has created shadows from what from what he has created. So the tree provides shade. buildings provide shade, mountains provide shade, clouds provide shade, this is a blessing of who? Allah subhanaw taala Secondly, we also learn clouds, they move at the command of Allah subhanaw taala if you see a cloud up in the sky, or you don't see this is at whose command Allah subhanaw taala This is not just happening at random. Someone is giving the command and who's giving the command Allah subhanaw taala so the clouds move, they go from one place to the other at whose command Allah subhanaw taala. Then we also

learned that food is a blessing, especially that which comes easily. Man and Salwa. What were the blessings for the Bani Israel, especially because it came very easy for them. For us also Al Hamdulillah food comes very easily. We go home and the food is prepared for many of us. For many of us, we have to go and cook but for many of us we go home and find the food already prepared. If it comes easily appreciate that blessing before it stay

Going away from you. Young girls be grateful. Because sometimes what happens is we get bored. Again, you've made rice. Mom, come on, what are you gonna make that lasagna? And how about that Chinese food or that so on and so forth, we have a huge list. And if the same thing is prepared once or twice where like, I have to have the same thing for lunch, I just had it last night for dinner. We complain too much. But we should be grateful, especially when food comes easily and we don't have to undergo any hardship. Then we also learned this verse that when Allah subhanaw taala gives a blessing to a servant than he should benefit from it and should not deprive himself from it. The

bunny has started were given man and salvo What did Allah subhanaw taala say fast? What did he say? Kulu eat it. Allah subhanaw taala didn't tell them that don't eat it to be more righteous. No, he told them eat this food. So when Allah gives us blessings, then barter righteousness is what? Using those blessings, enjoying those blessings. We think righteousness is depriving yourself waiting righteousness is staying away from good things from enjoyable things. No good omen for you by the amount of Xochimilco and especially when something is permissible for us to use, use it and not deprive ourselves. Even Taymiyah. He said that whoever deprives himself from eating good things,

without any Chetry cause, then in fact, he is blameworthy, meaning a person is only allowed to deprive himself of using good things, for a religious reason. And what is that religious reason, for example, you don't eat because you're fasting, or you don't eat a particular food because it doesn't suit you, it harms your body, this is also part of the religion because Allah has told us to take care of ourselves. So if some food doesn't suit you, you're allergic to it, or you have a sensitivity to it. If you avoid it, that's not wrong.

And then thirdly, we are also allowed to not eat something that is permissible for us, out of courtesy for other people. Like for example, there's only one piece of cheesecake left on a table and you have your eyes on it. But you know that the person sitting next to you is also looking and you'd like take it before she gets it. And you say no good things are hello for us. Why should I deprive myself know, out of courtesy for her? What should you do? Give it up? What are the cases in which we are allowed to deprive ourselves from using good things? religious reason, shatter equals, and that includes, for example, if you're fasting, and secondly, if something does not suit your

body, another reason when we are allowed to deprive ourselves out of courtesy for others, but it doesn't mean that at every occasion, you become courteous, and even at a wedding. You're like, Oh, I know there's so much food but look so many people's they should be eating and I'll stay hungry. No, there's plenty of food. Help yourself. Allah subhanaw taala says over here coolamon the you bet but you better what good things. food that is healthy, that is nutritious, that is beneficial, not harmful for your body. For example, if a person avoids unhealthy food, extremely greasy food, or junk food, then there's no harm in that. But the person shouldn't say that. You know what? Coke.

It's haram, you shouldn't have it. No, you can't make even unhealthy food haram. If it's haram then It's haram. But just because it's unhealthy, don't go on saying It's haram. And if somebody else is having a ticket from them and dump it, it's your choice. You don't want to have it don't have it. If other people are having it. Maybe this is the only time they're having it once in a while it's okay, but if you overdo it, definitely it's harmful for your body, and we have been told to take care of ourselves. In the CYA, we also learned that when a person is ungrateful, then who does he harm himself? Well now that I'm gonna well I can cancel and foster home yesterday moon. Let's listen to

what it can lead to Hulu had the hill Korea. What if and also remember this favor when Paul now we said who said Allah subhanaw taala said to who to the Bani Israel meaning you gave them a command that ODU who knew all of you enter all the Hulu is from dal ha Lam the holla yet Hulu is to enter to go in. What's the opposite of the holla courage, courage is to come out and the homeowner to go in. Oh, the Hello enter handy he this URL Korea, the city enter this city. The word Korea is from the root letters off for a year and curry means at the gym more to gather to collect. And Korea is a place where people have gathered together and they're living together. In other words, audio is what

a population of people. Typically the word Korea in the Arabic language is used for a town and a town what do we know it's a smaller place than a city. But the literal meaning of the word Korea does not mean town. What does it mean a population whether small or big, it doesn't matter. Because Allah subhanaw taala calls the city of Morocco also in Korea. And we know that the prophets are a lot isn't it wasn't a small city it was a big city. And today it's huge. How to heal Korea, the very strong were told to enter a particular city. When was this remember when they crossed the sea? They were in the desert and they were there for a very long time. And during that time, Allah subhanaw

taala calls the shade on them. And he also gave the man and Salwa and then eventually they were told now enter the city. What city is this? Wherever they're supposed to go? They were supposed to go back home to Palestine. The city's referring to Jerusalem. In total Merida is number 21. Also we learned Yeah, call me the whole herbal mocha desert allottee Khattab hola hola como Surya salaam told his people that all my people enter the city that Allah subhanaw taala has written for you decreed for you. So Allah told him to enter the city and then when you enter the city, then fucko minha then eat from it, how you could ship them wherever you are willed Rodan freely, without any

restrictions. We have done all of these words before in the story of them, are they so? In other words, they were told when you enter the city, then you are allowed to use anything of that city, meaning it's halal for you. Nothing is restricted for you. Everything is halal for you. Unless obviously, something has been specifically made haram. But in other words, you're free. And you see the money straight away. Where are they before in Egypt, that it was as though as slaves everything was forbidden for them, that you look at certain things but you're not allowed to use them. You're not allowed to benefit from them. You're not allowed to enjoy them. So Allah told them, enter the

city and you're free. You are the owners. You are the owners. You're not slaves here but your owners, you're free. Or the Hulu had the hill Korea for Columbia Heights, Washington Rodan and they were told that when you enter what the Hello, but you all should enter Alibaba the door. Bad, bad, well, bad. It's used for the gate, or the door of a building of a city. Before people used to have gates walls around the cities. Why for protection to protect them from external attacks. When you're entering the gates of the city, how should you enter the gates Suja Suja is a plural of the word Sajid, Sajida zoo one who does search that. So in other words, when you enter as soon as you enter

fall in frustration, and remember over here search that does not mean bowing down. Because the word search that we know is used for putting your head on the ground, bowing down is what ruku and Allah subhanaw taala has differentiated between the Koran such that it doesn't mean that go into such depth and crawl into the city. What it means is, as soon as you enter, then fall in frustration, why out of gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala for bringing you back home, when you come back home, be grateful when you're safe and secure. And when you're free. Be grateful to Allah. What the whole Bible said Judah, and as you enter what Kulu and all of you say, Help attune help law. What does

this word HIPAA mean? HIPAA is from the auditors how thorough and helpful is to fall from a height? What is it? It is to fall from a height it has also said this word is not actually Arabic. It's originally Hebrew. It doesn't really have a root then. But how does what does it mean to fall down from a height and HIPAA? It is the abbreviation of Ana Zoo banana that make our sins fall down from us, meaning remove our sins.

For us, in other words, forgive us. So we'll go to HIPAA don't say HIPAA, when you enter, beg Allah for forgiveness and as soon as you enter fall in frustration and when you will do that now Fiddler calm nothing rain foul are all off on forgiveness. So now Fiddler calm we will forgive for you. What will we forgive for you? How do I comb your sins? Haha is a plural of cuddly Yeah, it is a plural of hopefully Yeah, from the root letters haha Hamza and huddly. Yeah, is a deliberate sin. A sin. That happens not accidentally, not unintentionally, but a person consciously deliberately does that you forget and you say something wrong. And later on you realize what did I say? What was I thinking?

And the other is that a person's thinking okay, what swear word can I say to them? That's deliberate. So this is what hopefully is deliberate, conscious sin. Nothing welcome Hatha Yoga calm. You enter in this way you beg Allah for forgiveness. Allah will forgive you all of your sins. Imagine the worship that after it so many wrong things. They said so many wrong things. Allah says Allah forgive everything for you. So that when you enter, you have a fresh start. You start clean, a new life, a clean life, nephila Calm coppia calm and Allah further encouraged them that wasn't as easy to do and soon we shall increase for who l more cine mozzie do zariya Ziad too increase to

multiply. So we will increase for who more 16 What will we increase for them? Their reward, meaning not only will we forgive them, but on top of that we will also give them their reward. You beg Allah for forgiveness? Yes, He will wipe off your mistakes. But those who are sad, Allah will also give them additional reward on top of that, but who are those people? And more 16? Or more 17? More sinning? Are those who do your sign? It's the plural of the word Marcin, have you heard of the name Morrison? Morrison is one who does your son has seen noon person has the means beauty and sun is to make what you're doing very beautiful. How do you make your action beautiful? How do you do

something in a beautiful manner? For example, you're serving food? How can you do that in a beautiful manner. By smiling, smiling is not mandatory on you, with love doing more than the requirement doing more than what was required of you. For example, you're serving the food to someone when is it you just take the whole dish in which you cook the food? And you take a paper plate and you say Here eat? Okay, you gave the food but is that your son? Your son is what did you do it in a beautiful manner that you take the food out in a serving dish and you take it nicely before the person and you take the proper cutlery and a proper plate so that they can serve

themselves and they can also eat the food easily. Is there a difference in the action? One action is just very complete and the other is beautiful. So Air sign includes doing something the proper way completely and then doing extra as well doing extra good. That is what brings beauty.

Remember that your son is of two types one is your son in Riba in worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. For example, when we're praying salah, one is that a person just performs the obligation performs the photocard and done his over with it. But the other is that a person performs his Salah beautifully. He takes time out, he concentrates, he is conscious about what he's saying, what he's asking Allah for. Is there a difference in the Salah? Yes, there is. So exam, first of all isn't a bother. And secondly, your son is also in muram. Allah in dealing dealing with who, with people, and this includes talking to people. So when you're talking to them, giving proper answers in the right

way, having a good conversation, using polite words, using kind words, having good expressions on your face as well. exon also is about how you treat other people how you give them the rights. One person comes and asks for something. Let's say you're selling something, they come and ask you for it. You say what do you want? rudely? Is that your son? No. And the other is how may I help you? Is there a difference? Yes, a huge difference. Sometimes you go by something and you feel as though the other person is just trying to get rid of you anything else anything else anything else you'd like I'm not done yet and you're barely able to place your order. Your son is immoral minute as well in

how you deal with other people. It includes the way you sit with them. It includes how you walk with somebody, how you give something how you take something wasn't as either mercy Allah subhanaw taala says that we will increase the reward for who for those who do your son that tells me something is there any limit to your son, so it's up to you how much ever extra you will do? extra reward you will get as well. You want more reward

Do it more beautifully. Your reward will be according to your airson wasn't as evil or sin. So Allah subhanaw taala encouraged the Bani Israel to perform good deeds. But what did they do for about the law, but the law he changed by that. But the labor diluted deal is to change something to alter something, but to remember that changing something is done in two ways. First of all, altering it slightly. For example, there was a piece of writing, you edit it, this is what changing it. And the other kind of the deal is replacing one thing with the other. When you say I changed the sheets, do you mean that you altered them? What does it mean? You remove them and you put others in their

place? If you went and drew lines all over them painted the sheets, that's worse than leaving them as they were. So anyway, the deal is of two types. First of all, alteration and secondly, substitution replacement. What did these people do? They altered the word and when they altered it, they replaced the original with something else. sofabed del Alladhina wala mu, those people who did learn them, they changed they altered colon a statement they replaced a statement a word later other than a lady which peed on the home that was set to them. What were they told to say as they enter the city helper, but they altered it? How? Instead of saying Hilda they said Himba Why did they say

hemp? Because hemp means wheat green, it means a grain. So in other words, we're saying we want grain we want green. Why were they doing that? They were mocking at the words of Allah. They were mocking at the one who saved them. They were mocking at the one who bless them, who brought them back home. They were mocking at him mocking it Allah, they change the word the substituted it instead of saying forgiveness. They said, We want green. What does this show? They agreed greed, their selfishness, the lack of respect that they had a very non serious attitude. Very non serious attitude. extremely selfish and greedy people who always want and they do nothing in return. They

keep taking and they don't obey. They don't give anything back. And we have to check ourselves over here. That when we learn about what we have to do, do we perform our obligations properly? Or do we make a mockery of the religion of Allah subhanaw taala they change the word so what happened? For unzila? So we sent down Allah subhanaw taala sent down our Allah Allah deen of Allah mu upon those people who are dumb lol What did He send down upon them? ridges and a filthy vile punishment. Minister from the sky religious is from the letters ra je ze and lodges that is to shiver. And Ridge is something that is filthy you can say when you see something filthy, what happens? Do Tierra do

shutter? That happens right? When you see something gross, something disgusting, what happens? You shiver like oh, your body shakes. And Rich is also used for a punishment. So it was a punishment that was extremely severe, that cause their bodies to shake and shiver. And it is sad that it was plague because in plague when it spreads into people, it's like a kind of infection or whatever it is it causes fever, extremely high fever, extremely high fever means you're going to have chills. So for unzila Isla de novo reaches them in a summer, a filthy punishment was sent upon them. Why be McCann we have so gone because of their crossing limits because of their sins. You have so called

first and Farfus to cross limits, to disobey to sin. We were can we have sukoon and notice be mad can know we have spoken this word can know when it comes to for a verb it gives meaning of habitually doing something again and again. Did they repeatedly cross limits? Did they repeatedly disobey Allah yesterday? This is why Allah subhanaw taala sent down a very severe punishment on them. A very, very severe punishment. What do we learn in this verse? First of all, we learned that upon acquiring something special upon receiving a blessing instead of becoming arrogant, what should we do? We should bow down in humility before Allah we should prostrate before Allah out of

gratitude, out of submissiveness. We should not become arrogant at that time, but rather we should become humble and grateful. Remember when the Prophet salatu salam when he was victorious at Fatima QCCA at the conquest of Makkah, how did he enter the city? arrogantly? No, he was bending to the point that His beard was stuck

King Campbell. Just imagine this is how humble he was. Allah says in the Quran, Elijah and Azula. He will fight for ADA NASA the karuna, feeding ally of wager, when you gain this victory than for sub behandelt because stuff, seek forgiveness glorify Your Lord. At that time, don't become arrogant. But the Bani Israel they did the exact opposite. Then we also learned that whenever we accomplish something, whenever Allah subhanaw taala gives us victory gives us a blessing, then what should we do? Thank Allah and seek forgiveness because they were told to prostrate and also will Kulu Help button. Then we also learned in this verse about the great crime of changing altering the words of

Allah. This is a great crime. Sometimes people change the words of Allah, they alter them, why? To interpret them in a way that would suit their desires, or they will change them just to make fun just to have a good laugh. Remember, this is something prohibited. The words of Allah are not like anybody else's words. Allah is Rabbul aalameen You cannot compare the greatness the status of Allah subhanaw taala with the status of any other Willem your condo coupon or health, he is Anwar had had no one is like him. So just as he deserves great respect, this means that we never ever play around with his words. Because if a person does that, then the consequences are very, very severe. Let's

listen to the recitation.

We will follow the Hebrew

word

Watson as easy to see anything done a lady you know what I'm told and why your own lady?

Lady you know what I

mean Osama EB McCann with

Imagine Allah subhanaw taala told them wasn't as evil more sinning you do good. Allah will give you more reward. Instead of doing good. What did they do? You have so called on the cross limits. Instead of being more obedient, they became even more disobedient. Why did the Bani Israel become like this? Because of pride. Because of their feeling of that we deserve all of this. They're taking the blessings of Allah for granted. When we take the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala for granted and what happens? It leads to pride. It leads to this thinking that I'm fine no matter what I do, then a person does not stop at any limit. Then he even goes on to disrespect Allah subhanaw taala

forget about people, he even disrespects Allah. So we have to become very, very careful. We must realize that everything we have is what a favor of Allah, not our own achievement, not something that we deserve, but it's a favor of Allah. This is what keeps a person humble. And this is what leads to gratitude. And this is what leads to submission and ingratitude. Pride, what does that lead to? sinfulness, crossing limits, disobedience. So it all begins from where thinking it begins from your thinking, the way you think, the image that you have of yourself. So we have to correct the image that we have of ourselves, look at ourselves as human beings as servants of Allah, and keep

our feet on the ground. Sometimes we take pride in this being Muslim hamdulillah it's a huge blessing, but don't become arrogant about it. Keep your feet on the ground. Subhan Allah whom will be handy condition to Allah ilaha illa Anta Mustapha Luca wanted to be like
