Taleem al Quran 2012 – P01 011B Tafsir Al-Baqarah 60-61

What is this call Musa likoma He for call no bleep beer Alpha Cal Hodge off. And recall when Musa alayhis salam asked for water for his people and we said to him strike with your stuff the stolen what it is that's all. We learned earlier that the Bani Israel eel when they left Egypt, they ended up were in the desert and they were there for 40 years. After 40 years they were told to enter the city. They were told that make sure you say helper and make sure that when you enter you enter how frustrating however, they initially refused to enter the city. We learned elsewhere in the Quran that when Musa alayhis salam told them that enter the city they said, We're not going in Musa you

and your Lord go and fight the people and then inshallah we will enter once the city is opened up to us. Once the gates are opened up to us, we're not entering like that. They refuse to enter. And when they did enter after Musala salon passed away, how did they enter? As we learned 30 That the change the word from HIPAA to hamper and instead of prostrating, they went dragging on their backs. It was, you know, out of extreme defiance extreme arrogance that they behaved in this way. First, we had a quick overview in the verses of what happened, how they were freed, how they ended up in the desert, they were given money and Salawa and then eventually, they entered the city but how they entered

terribly. Now Allah subhanaw taala is mentioning a few more favorites that were bestowed upon them while they were still in the desert. One of the favors was that they were in the desert and they had no water, no water at all. So what it is, does, Musa Lee call me he recall this remember this? When Musa alayhis salaam asked for water for who for his people? Is this call is from the letter seen off? Yeah. You may have heard of the word Sophia, Sophia ZamZam, Sophia, it is to water to give water to someone. Is this all is to ask for water? What does it mean to ask for water? Just as we learned necessary and what does necessary mean to ask for help? Is this you see the letter seen and

that they give the meaning of asking, seeking so he sought water? Meaning he asked Allah subhanaw taala for water for who likoma He for his people? Who are his people, the Bani Israel, because in the desert, they had absolutely no water. And you can imagine 12 tribes of the Bani Israel, not just one or two people, but many, many people imagine if there's no water, what's going to happen? People are going to end up in many, many fights, people might end up killing one another fighting for water. So they had no water and whatever little they had, obviously there could have been great fights over that. So Musar listen and pray to Allah, that oh Allah bless these people with water. So

what happened? For Cole nurse? So we said, Allah subhanaw taala commanded moussaka Salam, that it ribs strike it live from the root letters log. Bat barraba. Ye booboo is to strike to hit something on the other to hit one thing with the other. So Allah subhanaw taala told him Ibrutinib strike beer Osaka with your stuff. Be Osaka be with Oslo stuff cup yours hit with your stuff. What should you hit el hijo the rock the staff of your stick it and strike the rock with it also is from the real letters are in solid year or in solid well and it's used for a staff which is thick, meaning it's not really a thin stick but rather it is thick, and it's also long so you can say it's like the

staff of a shepherd. And such as stuff is a multipurpose one. You can use it for many, many things Musar In Islam we learn in the Quran in surah Taha I remember 18 That when Allah subhanaw taala asked him on Mountune that what is this in your hand? Musa al salaam replied Allah here are soya This is my ASA at what are they I reclined on it was a who shall be her I love anime, and I bring down leaves on my sheep with the help of this stuff. Walia fee hammer arriba, okra and I have many other usages in this stuff. So what kind of a staff is awful? It's a multipurpose one, you can do many things with it. You know, for example, older people, they have a cane, but you can do a lot of

things with it because it's very delicate, however, and also you can do anything with it. So most artists will still take your stuff and strike the rock with it. Why? Because when he would strike the rock with it as a result what would happen fun federal admin whose Nether are shorter Aina 12 springs would gush out of 12 Springs gushed out of that rock when Musa al Islam struck that rock with history

have the staff of mozarella Salam was a very special stuff. It was a very special stick. Allah subhanaw taala. Last Husar is Allah with many miracles through the stuff when he threw it, it turned into a snake. When he threw the staff into the ocean into the sea, what happened? It parted into do just imagine the land under the sea that was all wet, it became dry. The 12 springs that came out that's mentioned over here to third miracle. Fourth miracle when Finn our own had all of his magicians come in and stand against musalla Santa and the through their sticks and the ropes and all of them turned into snakes because of their magic. Entire place, entire arena filled with tiny tiny

snakes and Musa alayhis salam, he threw his staff and it turned into a huge serpent, a huge snake and it swallowed every single one of the snakes or who are the magicians.

miracles that were performed through this stuff. One of them is mentioned over here that in the desert when the people had no water Allah subhanaw taala told him take your stuff and strike the rock with it. The word alhaja rock is from the letters hygiene rock hedger hedger is used for a huge rock it literally means to prevent to be hard and that is how rocks are. So what happened fun Fedora fun Fedora it gushed out in Fedora, fair Jeem. Raw federal is to split something apart to break something and to cause it to burst at a large scale. Can you think of any other words from the same root five gene well fajr What happens at budget what happens at dawn, the entire sky that is black

and dark? There's a huge split in it and it's across the horizon. If you ever wake up at that time when you should look at the sky outside how the morning light bursts through that this is why they said crack of dawn crack because it so cracks the entire horizon and then the light comes in. So fun federate in for Java when it gushes out at a large scale. Find Fedora men who from it from what from that hedgehog. What gushed out of that rock isn't that are shorter 12 Arina springs 12 Springs came out of that rock gushing forth with water. One rock he hits it with his stick and 12 springs and off the water's just gushing out. The word aim is from the root letters at noon and the rain is used for

a spring. Do you know of any other words that it's used for? Eyes? Can you think of any similarity between them? That just as water flows out of spring comes out of the spring similarly water gushes out of our eyes as well sometimes uncontrollably so fun for dot min who's Netta are shorter Aina 12 Springs gushed out of that rock. Why 12 Because the bunny is so eel we're how many there were 12 tribes remember the 12 Sons of Yaqoob. Elissa, they're descended descendants were who? 12 tribes. So each son, his descendants were who they were known as his descendants, and they were known as a separate tribe. And these 12 tribes Allah subhanaw taala says other Alima in fact he knew, but the

word God gives meaning of in fact indeed, and it's basically used to give energy to the verb that is mentioned afterwards to show the certainty of it. So cada Alima Alima from the root letters Rhineland meme earn earn to know so he knew Who knew Cano own asin every people every single group of people knew what did they know mush Raba home their drinking place and drinking time as well. The word illness what does it mean people and the other words that we have read for people and nurse and nurse begins with L analysis actually l onus What is it l onus but when you combine them together then you just say a nurse. And over here people will nurse refers to what each of those 12 tribes

other Alima Kuno own Essen every single try every single person then you mesh Alaba home mesh up from the root letter scene Alaba Can you think of a word that comes from the same root? Shut up drink Michelob is a place of drinking and also the time of drinking. There are certain nouns in the Arabic language which are known as it seems love and they are such nouns that tell us about the place and the time where something happened or may happen. So mashallah is some love. You have to become very comfortable with this word with the Sturm because it's going to come many many times. To understand the beauty of the Quranic words. We have to become familiar with these terms. So much

love is place of drinking and the time of drinking

meaning, where are you supposed to go and drink from? And when are you supposed to go and drink? Every tribe knew about their spring and also about the time when they were allowed to go and take water from their spring? Isn't it amazing? It's like in an institute in a school, every class knows where they can go and have their lunch and when they can go and have their lunch. Is that necessary when you have a huge crowd of people? Of course, if we gave break to every single class in the Institute at the same time, imagine if all 600 were allowed to come into the cafeteria at once. What would happen? Chaos, the cafeteria people wouldn't be able to manage all the people who are coming

in one person screaming May I have a sandwich man, what's the most I'm ever drink? Ma'am? A cup of tea. So for the purpose of organization, Allah subhanaw taala did that this was a huge blessing on Bani Israel. Because a it made it very convenient for them to drink water to have access to water and be it avoided any chances of any fights that could break up in the Bani Israel. So it kept them united as well. Because the Alima Kulu own acid Masaba whom Allah subhanaw taala told them Kulu all of you eat Kulu what's the root? Hamza calf lamb, we have done the word Kula earlier. Kulu all of you eat, wash, Prabhu. And all of you drink, what's the root of wash Prabhu? Shinra so from the root

letter seen them all day you get the word issue trouble and you also get the word my shrub. So Coonawarra will eat and drink miris Bella he from the provision of Allah, we from the provision that Allah subhanaw taala has given you what were there to eat what food were they given? Man and Salwa, what drink were they given? This freshwater, so Kula, washerwoman, this Billahi but they were also told what on earth are so Phil ugly Musa deen and do not commit abuse on the earth as Mischief Makers. There are so is from the root letters are inside Yeah, or are inside well, and this word or a thought or a thing is to be very quick in spreading corruption in destroying things. In other

words, to be very quick in making facade so that our thought do not commit abuse. Fill early in the earth as well as move city moves in Florida have moved sit and was mostly the one who does facade. If you will be committing abuse on the earth, what would you be doing facade? So for example, for the Bani Israel in this context, what abuse could they be doing? For example, they were given water to drink they were given money until well, they were told eat and drink but don't commit abuse. How? They were supposed to go to a particular place to drink each tribe and also at a particular time, if you don't follow the rules. Are you committing abuse? Yes. How else? By wasting? Oh, it's free. Take

whatever you want. Drink whatever you want, how much ever you want, use whatever, leave whatever you don't want and satellites food that's coming for free? Yeah, I don't feel like finishing it. So I'll just take two bites and throw this one. Let me try that one. Let me try that one. And in that process, wasting so much. Does it happen that when people are given food for free, they end up wasting a lot. Like for example, when you go to a wedding, what happens? You see plates that are almost full that are being thrown away, because it's free. Just because it's free, doesn't mean you can waste it. So that we're told eat and drink of the blessings you are allowed Allah subhanaw taala

is giving them to you. But don't commit abuse because if you do so you will be moved city.

What lessons do we learn in this verse? First of all, we learned that at the time of need of water, when people need water, what should they do? Should they search for water? Of course they should, should they go by water? Of course they should. But at the same time they should also ask Allah subhanaw taala for water. Musa alayhis salam he is the spa and in the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam also we learn that he also prayed Salah tool is this

he prayed for lateral is discord when people would need water, he would make their offer water by performing collateral is discard and also without the salah. We learn for example, once the Prophet sallallahu sallam was giving a hot bath in the masjid and people had not had rain for a very very long time. So this man walked into the masjid the Prophet Solanas and was addressing the people on the pulpit and interrupted him and he said, our animals are dying, we have no water, our livelihood is destroyed. We are in great trouble ask Allah for water please pray to Allah subhanaw taala for water Prophet sallallahu Sallam he started making dua to Allah subhanaw taala for water and he

hadn't even descended from the pulpit. But all of a sudden clouds came into the horizon that were nowhere in scene and it started pouring and pouring and when the Prophet said a lot isn't descended from the pulpit, His beard was dripping with water.

So much water came and it rained and rained until the next Friday.

Next Friday, that same man, he walked in and he said, Do muttering, pray to Allah because our animals are dying because of too much rain Our houses are getting destroyed because of too much rain. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Dora Allah Houma Howell Elena, Willa Elena that Oh ALLAH Sandrine around us and not on us. Because when Allah sends a blessing we shouldn't say we don't want it. So then the rain it stopped. We learned in the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam as well that whenever people needed water, what would he do? He would make the odd to Allah subhanaw taala for water, with Salah and also without Salah. So we should also do the same and for the basic needs

even Who Should we turn to? Allah subhanaw taala for the basic needs, even we must make dua to Allah because that is what Riba is. That is what worship is. I shall lead on her she said, ask Allah for everything, even if it is a shoeless. ask Allah for everything, even if it's a shoeless because if Allah does not make it easy, then it will not be possible for you. We think I don't need to make dua for money I've plenty. I don't need to make dua for my exam I've studied. I don't need to make dua for such and such thing I have enough. But the thing is that we do experience times when, for example, there is food in the refrigerator, but we don't find the time to cook it, we will find the

time to prepare it, we will find the time to heat it up and eat it. We have money in our pocket, but we don't get the time to go and buy the groceries. You have a book that you want to read but you cannot find the ability to read it. You do not find the time to read it. Many things we see we can do but we're unable to do we think it's within our power. But then we seem powerless. We need to make dua to Allah subhanaw taala for every little thing. When something small we need and we don't get it, what do we do? Generally we start complaining. And we start using bad words we start cursing or we start saying words that are inappropriate. But at that time, what should we be doing? praying

to Allah, ask Allah for every little thing. This is what it means by remembering Allah. We learned that we should remember ALLAH, this is what it means to remember Allah, that at the time of every single need, yeah, Allah, Allah Hola, hola. Good. We turn to other people, or ourselves, or we start complaining we start getting furious. The thing is, if you start turning to Allah, you will be a happier person, you will complain less, you will be less frustrated. Believe me, you will be less stressed out. The number one problem people suffer from today is what stress. The one who makes the art well not the one who turns to Allah will not suffer from stress. He will be relaxed, even in the

most difficult situations. And that's only possible if we turn to Allah, who we also learned in this verse that Allah subhanaw taala he sends water he blesses us with blessings from above us and also from below us. Musar esalaam prayed for water the water could have been sent down from the sky in the form of rain that could have happened. We learned earlier that Allah ma'am a cloud covered them. That same cloud, water could have descended from there. But Allah subhanaw taala told Musa al Islam strike the staff on what? On the rock so that the water will gush out. What's the difference between rainwater and water gushing out of the earth, that rainwater you have to store and if you store it,

it gets stale very quickly. However, water that's coming out of the earth, it's constantly fresh. So Allah subhanaw taala provides to us from above us and from below us, the Bani Israel they were given the best source of water at the time that was most suitable for them. We also learned in this ayah that after making Dora one should also strive he should also put an effort. So after making Dora What should a person do? He should also put in some effort mozarella Sana, it starts off, he prayed to Allah for water, but then Allah subhanaw taala told him take the stuff and hit it on the rock. You also have to do something. What do we do? Some things that aren't working out we say, Yeah, I am

making dua. However, nothing's really happening. While you also have to strive, you also have to get up and do something a person might say, then what's the point of making dua, if you have to do it anyway? Well, because when you do it, Allah subhanaw taala will make it possible for you, he will make it easy for you, he will facilitate it for you. The same thing can be easy, and it can also be difficult. It's possible that you go home and you start cooking and you're done within half an hour, 45 minutes, but there's another time you go you start cooking and it takes you over an hour. Why? Because of so many interruptions because of so many, you know confusions so you're not sure what's

happening.

The same thing could be easy. The same thing could be difficult. This is why make dua and follow it up by some effort as well.

Then we also learned in this verse that the messengers of Allah subhanaw taala, just like other human beings, they are also in need of Allah, the messengers of Allah, the prophets of Allah, they are not Adil Khadija like Allah subhanaw taala they are not able to do whatever they want, like Allah subhanaw taala can, they're also human beings. Where do we learn that from? Musa said, I've had to ask Allah for water? If he was padeen all able like Allah subhanaw taala What do you need to ask Allah? No, he wouldn't. Because unfortunately, within Muslims, also, there are some incorrect beliefs about the prophets of Allah, that they're able to do everything. They're able to do

anything. The power lies with them, as though they are also divine beings. No other human beings. They're also in need of Allah, just like other human beings are.

Then we also learn in this verse, about the ability, the great ability of Allah subhanaw taala, and the generosity of Allah that Allah is studied. And he's also Joette. He's capable, fully capable. And he's also very, very generous. Because someone who is capable can give can bestow Allah subhanaw taala because he has studied He blessed the Bani Israel with water. And someone who is generous, can give the one who is stingy can he give, he cannot give Allah subhanaw taala is generous. This is why He bestowed the Bani Israel with water. So we learned that Allah has studied as well as Jawwad

then we also learn about the perfect ability of Allah subhanaw taala that a rock mousse artisan struck it with his staff and their game water bursting out of a 12 Springs who caused that to happen. Allah subhanaw taala and this was, in fact a miracle that was given to mozarella

Do you think it was a great miracle? Yes, it was because it would help the Bani Israel believe in Musala Salam OBEY HIM remain obedient to Him. But you know what the Prophet sallallahu sallam was given a greater miracle. Once the Sahaba they were traveling with the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and they had no water they had only a little bit in a bull. It's the prophets on a lot of suddenly asked that bull be brought to him that bowl of water was brought to him the Prophet sallallahu Sallam put his hand into it, and through his fingers, the water started gushing out. It kept gushing out to the point that everybody had enough to drink and use and bathe and wash themselves with. Just imagine

that bowl of water. He put his hand in it. Allah subhanaw taala bestowed in that miracle, and as a result, what happened waters kept gushing out of it. It was a greater miracle. You know why? Because it's normal, that springs gush out through rocks. But is it normal? That water is gushing out of a bowl? Similarly, if water is gushing out of a spring, okay, normal because it's coming from some underground source. However, the bowl is it attached to some tap? Is it attached to some pipeline is it attached to the ground that there's some kind of source, it was a greater miracle that was given to the Prophet sallallahu. And this shows how Allah subhanaw taala is so kind with his people, with

the Prophet and with the believers, Allah subhanaw taala is so kind with the believers that when they are in need of water, Allah subhanaw taala bestows it to them. Then we also learned in this verse about the special rank of Musa said that he prayed to Allah and Allah answered his door, ah,

isn't that amazing? He made da. And Allah answered that door. If someone's Dora is answered, they're lucky person. There's someone who are very, very special. We learned about most artists and Allah says, Well can are in the law, he would g hat. And he is in the sight of Allah, one who is distinguished, meaning one who was very honorable, so Allah who responded to his Torah. And then we also learned in this verse that whatever blessings Allah subhanaw taala has given us whether it is a food or water, should we use it? Yes, because Allah has given them to us not so that we stay away from them, but to that we use them. Allah said to them, Kulu, wash Prabhu, not that stay thirsty and

hungry? No, Allah told him eat and drink from the provision of Allah. However, what's the condition? When we use the blessings we are to be thankful and we should not commit abuse. For example, this earth Allah subhanaw taala has given many blessings to us through this earth, food, water, you name it, what should we do? Use it, but be careful, don't waste use the earth but don't abuse it. Use the blessings but don't abuse them. Don't throw them away. Don't waste them because if we abuse them, if we waste them, then you know what that is?

In gratitude, and when a person becomes like that Allah can take away those blessings from them.

Another very important lesson that we learned in this verse is that Allah subhanaw taala gave the Bani Israel 12 springs, 12 springs and not 10 not five. If you think about it, he could have given them just one source of water. Wouldn't it be possible for them to drink water from there? Yes, it would be. But would it be convenient? No. For their convenience, Allah subhanaw taala bless them with 12 springs. What does it show to us that if you can afford there is no harm in making your life convenient. Like for example, if a person is able to afford a better car, a bigger car, a person is able to afford a bigger house a bigger space to live. Is there any harm if he gets it? Is he being

non righteous? No. Because it is okay to make your life convenient with the blessings that Allah subhanaw taala has bestowed on us. What do we say? Be patient? Look at those people who don't have anything at least we have something. Yeah. But Allah subhanaw taala has given us more and if he has given us more than we should use it. Because when the things of this world when they're convenient for us, aren't we more relaxed? Of course we are. For example, if you tell somebody you don't need a bed, you can sleep on the floor. Can you sleep on the floor? Yes, you can. Isn't it inconvenient? It isn't convenient? What's easier sleeping on the bed or sleeping on the floor? sleeping on the bed?

But if you said no, you're going to spend all that money on buying a bed, you know, don't waste the money. This is not wasting the money. Allah has given you the money. It's okay, if you make your life a little convenient.

Similarly, person says, You know what, that phone that came out like five years ago, stick to that phone? Can't you make calls from it? Yes, you can count you receive calls on it? Yes, you can go on to send text messages. Yes, you can. But if you have a phone that's a little bit newer, you can perhaps also check your email on it. Perhaps you could also set reminders on it, perhaps you can also sync it with your Google Calendar or something. And that will make your life a little easier. So is there any harm in doing that? There is no harm in doing that. But what's the condition? Don't do Astrov and don't commit abuse? What is ISAF overspending beyond need? That a person has something

that functions perfectly fine, but it says no, I want more. I want this, I want that wasting ISR off beyond means. And secondly, do not commit abuse, that just because you can afford a new phone doesn't mean you don't take care of the phone that you have. You throw it at it doesn't matter or doesn't matter, I'll just buy another one. No more. Don't be wasteful. We see that Allah subhanaw taala was very kind to the Bani Israel in that he made their life convenient for them. And secondly, by giving 12 springs, what happened, every single tribe had their own space, had their freedom had their own time. And this is very important. When it comes to personal matters, we should give other

people their space. For example, if a person wants to study somewhere, give them their space, if a person wants to eat somewhere, give them their space. Similarly, living accommodations, a person should be given their space. Why? Because if space is not given to people, then what will happen? Fights. It's my turn. No, it's my turn. No, it's my turn. You go away. You're always here. No. What's the solution? Give people their space. Especially when there are a lot of people living together. It's necessary that we give space to other people, because otherwise it will lead to fights. Let's continue where it goes. And recall when you said call Tom, you all said to who to

mozzarella Santa and who does you all refer to the Bani Israel? So recall when you said yeah Musa Oh Musa Lana Spira we will never ever be patient Nesbit Assad Bara you said oh Musa, we're never going to be patient on what Allah upon Tharam in food were hidden one thorough Bahrain meme, the word thumb is used for food. So it includes liquids as well as solids. So they said that we will never ever be patient on one food meaning on one type of food what are they referring to the man and salad that was being given to them? So they said other you pray that are in well diet through to call upon. So you pray, Lana for us, meaning for our sake, you pray to who? Becca your Lord, go make dua

to your Lord, that you couldn't Jelena he should bring out for us. Your courage ha ra Diem, Cara Jaya for you to come out, aka you can do to bring out so he should bring that

out Lenna for us mimma from that which don't be till the Earth grows, don't be too known better. The word Nevada is used for plants and Umbrella up to is to cause something to grow. So what the Earth grows, what the earth brings out, we can never ever be patient over one food. We want more. We want a variety. So oh Musa, you go and make the RTR Lord, that He should bring out for us from the earth. What metal metal or what the Earth grows. What does the Earth grow? They give a whole list member luckily her work is that he has worked for me her Why does he have waterbus only have we want all of this stuff? Men, Buckley her the word buckle, bow Coughlin. It is used for all kinds of leaf greens,

such vegetables that are mainly leaf and you eat them entirely. Like for example, salad leaves. Have you ever seen them how they grow? How do they grow on a big plant? They grow on the branches? No. Have you ever seen a tomato plant? How does that grow? That the tomatoes are on the branches hanging but Volker refers to you can say pot herbs or leaf greens, green vegetables that are eaten as they are. For example what is included in this is spinach. Let us know mint grows on the stem. This is stem and leaf together that you eat. Similarly kale repine herbs, so those that grow as a leaf, not parsley. Parsley also grows on twigs on tiny tiny branches. Coriander, same thing like parsley it

grows on like branches. It's the leaf that you eat and the leaf it grows on the stem meaning the stem and the leaf are together. Buckle refers to leaf greens, leafy greens. What does it mean by that? It means that it is such leaves that grow out of the earth as they are and the leaf part as well as the stem part. Both are eaten together. They're big leaves like spinach or like lettuce or like repine cabbage. I want you to go and research about this. Look for pot herbs, leafy greens. Anyway, they said we want bekal what is that? Yeah, they said he heard it looks like you guys don't do any kind of vegetable gardening or anything like that. Boring. Be active. Enjoy the stuff that

Allah subhanaw taala growth

summary is coming. Make sure you grow something in your backyard no just to learn just to understand the Quran better. So when Buckley hear what he said he had to say that you need is to do something such that is very juicy and as you chew it as you bite it, it makes like a crunching sound. PISA is used for cucumbers. If you bite cucumbers, what kind of sounds really think crunching sound right? Or the juicy. Yes. Similarly melons. However the word is that is used for what cucumbers in particular some in Buckley what they say here were for me have foam. Foam means soon. What is that? Garlic. So they said we want green leafy vegetables, we want cucumbers and we want garlic and we

want where are the see here or this or this lentils? We're bizarrely happy basil, onions. We want a whole lot of these things. We want a variety. Look at their words. They said lameness but our ll term and we're headed, we will never ever be patient on one kind of food. Tell me something where they're being given one food only. No, they were being given MN and salwaar. But the thing is that when a person is negative, then he sees more as less. He has a lot yet he thinks he has nothing. He may have the best, but he will still dislike it and he will want other things. He doesn't go for the quality. What does he go for? Quantity. If you think about it, man, and Salwa was like a complete

meal. There was dessert as well as the main course. It was coming down on them free of any charge. No service charges, nothing at all. They didn't even have to ask for it. Allah subhanaw taala gave it to them out of his own mercy. It came to them pre prepared, everything was prepared for them from before. They didn't have to you know, heat it up in the oven, cook it a little bit nothing. No, it was ready from before ready to eat. And it was also the most nutritious food the one that they needed, because you can imagine they were living as slaves definitely their bodies must have been malnutritioned so Allah subhanaw taala given the most neutral

She's food, free of any charge. It came to them very, very easily. And it was the best for them. It was out of this world, out of this world unique, but they said, We don't want it. We'll never be patient on it. We want what the Earth grows. We don't want heavenly food, we want earthly food and they give a whole list. Musa alayhis salam, he got upset with them. Allah He said at the start with the Luna duster with the Luna bat Dan lamb Budda Budda, is to change remember we read the word but della earlier, and it's Dybdahl to completely change or to seek to change. So a test of the Luna do you all wish to change take an exchange? What a lady who are Adena that which is inferior at dinner

is from the root letters Dan noon, well do know and do know is to be lower or closer at the NA inferior, what is other, inferior lesser lower? So do you want that which is Lor been lovey instead of that which Hello hate, which is much better. You want to give up what was much better. And you want to take an exchange for that something that is lesser, something that is inferior, what was better man and Salwa, what was inferior what they were asking for?

How was it inferior, and how was Monday until well better. In many ways, first of all, because man and Salwa is heavenly food came down from the skies came down from above, and metal middle of it comes from any.

Secondly, that whatever came of the mundane Salwa to them, it was pre prepared. But what comes from the earth, you have to grow it yourself, you have to look after yourself, then you have to cut it up yourself and you have to prepare yourself. Another reason it was more nutritious, what was coming from the sky was much better for them much more nutritious for their bodies. It was complete. Allah chose that for them. Allah gave it to them. And whatever Allah gives to you, it is best for you. You know, a you Bernie Salam. He was sick for many, many years. And he had so much wealth that he lost completely yet children who died, he had family who left him, everything was changed for him, but he

still remained patient. And after that, Allah subhanaw taala gave him his health back and gave him more family members. And also, when Allah Subhana Allah gave him more well, Allah subhanaw taala calls gold locusts to fall from the sky on him locusts to gold. So you know what he started doing? He started collecting. Just imagine if gold is falling down on you, what will you do? No matter who was watching it, you're gonna start grabbing it, how much ever you can get. So he started grabbing all of it. So Allah subhanaw taala said to a humorous and I'm having not made you rich enough. He said, Yeah, Allah, how can I ever have enough of your mercy? What comes from you? I can never have

enough of that. He had so much well, he had no desire for wealth, no desire at all. But still, when that gold was falling on him, he was collecting it. Why? Because he knew it was coming from Allah. When Allah give, grab it, because it's the best for you. Allah gave them one and somewhat it was the best for them. This is how it was more superior. And if you think about it, what grows from the earth? Everybody has it? Who has one until everybody? No way.

It's a special thing, special blessing. This is how it was much better for them. So Musar listened and reprimanded them. He said, What are you doing? You want to give up what Allah has given you, which is much better and you want to take an exchange for it. What is lesser what is inferior, what is cheaper? What is a poor quality? He said, If Islam Islam, go to any city, why are you telling me to pray to Allah for it? If you want this food, then go to any city and go get it from there? Meaning I don't need to make dua for this. Allah has already given these foods to us. It'd be to miss Ron able to have a thought we have done this word earlier. Mislim miss one does not mean Egypt.

Miss Swan, this is any city. The word missile is from the root letters means Sodre and muscle is to inhabit a city and the word missile is used for any city. And then later on Egypt was known as missile it became a proper name however over here doesn't mean Egypt so if you miss one go to any city for Enola calm so indeed for you is masa, alto, whatever you have asked for. So I'll turn from the real address scene Hamza lamb, so altum any of the word from the same root? So what is so I'll make a question. So go to any city and you will find over there, whatever you have asked for. In other words, Musar the salon got upset with them and he did not make dua for them. He refused

Who's to pray for them? A little mishap for Inilah comesa alto, go and get what you want. From there, go get it yourself. I'm not going to ask Allah to take this blessing of mine and Salah away from us. I have a question for you. Is it wrong to ask for more blessings to ask for a variety of blessings? Know what why was it wrong for the money? Sorry, why did most artists don't get upset with them? Because of the way that they demand lameness below our allotted time. And as if they're saying We're fed up, we're fed up, we've had enough. We'll never be patient on this. We're not satisfied with this. We want more. It was because of the way that the demanded wild Was it wrong for

them. They were being greedy. It showed greed on their part. They weren't being grateful for what Allah subhanaw taala had given them, because if they were grateful for it, they would have been happy with it. Just imagine they were living their lives as slaves. What does the slave have? Nothing. Allah subhanaw taala bless them with mon and Salwa and look at how arrogant they became. They said We want more, we can be satisfied with this. I remember, it was watching this documentary in which they were showing what how certain restaurants, they donate their food to food banks, not all of them, but particular chain, they donate their food to restaurants and food banks. And those

food banks that are soup kitchens. Basically, they have free food for people who can come and eat there. And they were showing about how so many families come and eat there regularly. One of the families are interviewing, and that couple with their children. They said that last year, the year before they started coming to that food bank to that soup kitchen, they were down to their last $130 because they lost their job and they had absolutely no money. And they realized we need food. So this is why they started going to the soup kitchen and they regularly eat from there. The person was making a documentary they asked her Do you like the food would rather have something else? She said

no. I'm very happy with this. Even though she knows these are leftovers. This is coming from a restaurant. It's not that fresh. But she said I'm happy with this. And she started to cry. And then she said before I was very, very picky, but not anymore. I was very picky. Now if I have food in front of me, I am grateful and whatever it is, I'll eat it. When a person is grateful he values every little thing that Allah subhanaw taala has given him and when people become full of themselves, and even when they have nothing they think highly of themselves and they say we want more. We're sick of this. We've had enough of this. We want more stuff. What does it show the greed

of Bani Israel, their arrogance, their pride, their ingratitude. How unthankful they were that they never learned from anything. This is why mozzarella Sam got upset with them. It shows how ignorant they were of the blessings that they were given. First they wanted a God just because other people were worshipping idols. And then they wanted all of this food just because everybody's eating it. We want this as well. They never realized their Lord Allah subhanaw taala the real Lord, the actual God, they knew him but yet they were ungrateful towards him. Allah subhanaw taala give money and Salah to them. They were ungrateful for it. They were in the desert, Allah subhanaw taala out of his

blessing sent food upon them, not that they had to grow everything themselves. It was a huge blessing. Take somebody's giving you something and you're like, you know what, I don't want any of this. I want something else. Give me something else. Beggars can't be choosers. They were beggars, and yet they were being choosers. It'd be too misaligned for in the Lacan, masa altum what was the responsibility of Bani Israel eel? Why were they the chosen people? Just so that they could enjoy the blessings of this world? Is this why Allah subhanaw taala chose that? Was their focus supposed to be the dunya? No, their focus was supposed to be the deen they benefit from it, they follow it

and they also tell other people about it. But if people start chasing the dunya can they fulfill their responsibility? If they became farmers and peasants, would they be able to learn the demon can redeem? They wouldn't be able to this is why it was incorrect for them. So a widow mishaan For Intelecom masa alto Musar restaurant got very upset with them he said Go Go get it yourself I'm not making Dora will do it but I lay him with the letter well mascara Allah says Villa and mascara was struck upon them Ludi but Lord Rob Bell what does that mean to strike one thing on the other to put one thing on the other booty but our name it was truck on them. It hit them badly. What hit them

badly? Villa while mascara Villa then lamb lamb, then is humiliation and disgrace that a person brings on himself. How can a person bring humiliation disgrace upon himself by doing something by saying something that disgraces that humiliates them in front of others. So they will humiliation because of their own actions, their own sins, while mascara. What is mascara poverty dependence must come from the ruler

St. Catherine. And sukoon means to become still must Ghana is poverty because when a person is suffering from poverty, he becomes still he is not able to travel. He's not able to go here and there he's not able to enjoy. Rather he's stuck. He's trended. He's dependent on other people. Duty, but I lay him with the latter one mascara, disgrace, humiliation, and poverty dependence has been struck on them. So they are humiliated, disgraced in the sight of people, no matter what they do. People look down on them, no matter what they achieve, people don't have respect for them. And secondly, dependents that no matter how much they have, still, they are dependent on others.

ludie but are laying him with Villa to Alaska. And if you look at the history of Bani Israel, this is what you will see that no matter what they gained, people did not have any respect for them. No matter what they achieved, no matter how much power they had, yet they were dependent on others to support them. This has been happening throughout the history of the Bani Israel from the time of Musa Saddam even before that, and even afterwards, whenever they were disobedient, whenever they will rebellious. This is what happened. Booty with our lane within Leto Wilma scanner, and you see this poverty. Poverty is not just about not having enough money. Real poverty is a poverty of the

heart that a person has enough yet he feels poor in his heart, which is why he cannot be generous at all. He cannot even give a little he cannot even share a little he becomes extremely selfish. This person is what poor hearted he has a very poor heart of Kullu most poorest in their arts. Booty but our Lady within the two will miss Ghana why? Because of their chasing the dunya they went after the dunya they chase the dunya they wanted Buckley have acusa well for me Why does he have Abbasali had to give up man and Sangha what happened and booty but Allah He within two almost gonna moreover will bear will be a lot of in min Allah Bell bow Hamza Baba is to come back with something to return with

something. It is to bring something upon oneself, meaning they incurred, they brought upon themselves, what did they bring upon themselves? Because of him in Allah, the anger of Allah. We learned earlier late in my blue beer I lay him with a barley bear all below him in Allah. What is the holdup of Allah? His punishment? So they brought upon themselves the punishment of Allah meaning Allah punish them. Why for no reason? No, of course it was for a reason. Allah says there Lika that is what is this punishment that was sent upon them one after the other. Why be unknown because indeed they can who they used to yak Furuno Biya tiller, they used to disbelieve in the Ayat of

Allah yak for rune Kapha and I add chlorella by remember that the Ayat of Allah subhanaw taala are of two types. First of all, I add sugary meaning the ayat of the religion. So for example, the verses that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed the verses of the Quran for example, what are they I add, shatter eat. The other type of either I add Kony, meaning the signs that Allah subhanaw taala has placed in the creation. You may have heard that the word it also means sign miracle evidence. So they used to disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah ayat of Allah can be understood in both ways. If you take it as if shudder at the disbelief that they rejected them. When most artists and and brought

them to Torah, what did they say we're never going to believe unless we see Allah openly. Now we will try to learn about the story of the cow where they were told to slaughter a cow. They made so many excuses. One question after the other yak Furuta vi Atilla. Secondly, they were ungrateful for the blessings that Allah subhanaw taala gave there were ungrateful for the Kony I act. So for example, the money in salwaar that Allah gave them were the grateful for it. very ungrateful yak Faloona be Atilla This was their crime. Another crime that they committed was that way up to loon and begin with aid and help they used to kill the profits without any right. Yuk Toluna after lamb

Pato Patil is to kill they used to kill an OB GYN and the beginners applauded enough Nabhi the prophets of Allah who were sent to guide them to save them. What did they do? They killed them. Imagine killing prophets of Allah and they killed many prophets of Allah. They killed Zachary era Santa, they kill the year here la Santa, they tried to kill your isa or they Salah and they tried to kill Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam as well. In Medina, the Prophet salallahu Salam went to one of the Jewish tribes once in order to ask them for some blood money that had to be paid by the into

Community of Medina. So he went to them to negotiate that with them and they said, okay, yeah, why don't you sit here, we'll discuss it amongst ourselves and we'll let you know. They had him sit down and the sent one of the persons at the top of that building, and they said, Throw this rock onto Him so that He can die. They attempted to kill him. But Allah subhanaw taala sent Gibreel to tell the Prophet salallahu Salam, and he got up and left before that rock could be thrown on him. Similarly, at another time, a Jewish woman, she had a feast for the prophets of Allah, Islam and the companions. And you know what she did? She poisoned that food. And also Javi he ate of that food and

he died. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam also ate, but it was just in his mouth. However, at the time of his death, he said, the effects of that poison were still there. Jaqua Toluna in the beginning of the idol Hawk, they killed the prophets without any right belayed ill health, it was unjustified. Tell me, is it ever justified to kill a prophet of Allah? For when Allah says belated help without any right? It shows what a great crime they committed behind it, how come the letters how cough cough? So these were the crimes that they committed goofer of the Ayat of Allah cuttle of the prophets of Allah. This is why Allah sent us punishment upon them. And why is it that the dare to

disbelieve in the Ayat of Allah, they dare to kill the prophets of Allah. Allah says, There Lika that is Bhima because of what also they disobeyed also, from the letters I installed, the orientado are asleep in disobedience, that whatever command has been given a person refuses to obey he doesn't obey, that he could be Ma. So they were given many commands. But did they obey? They didn't. What can we are doing and they used to cross limits the afternoon are in dial Well, are they or do is to have enmity against someone to be an enemy to someone, or though who is an enemy, and erotica is to transgress to cross the limits in enmity, in hatred out of hatred. So what can we are to do they

used to cross limits they used to transgress. What does it mean by this, that they disobeyed and they transgressed, they disobeyed, meaning whatever commands, they were given what they were supposed to do, they didn't do, and whatever they were told, Don't do it. Yatta don't they did it. So in other words, every AMA, they did not follow. And every nahi they performed, every command they were given, they disobeyed every prohibition, they didn't stay away. What can we do? This was their habit. And this is why Allah subhanaw taala punish them. He humiliated them in dystonia even.

There are many, many lessons to be learned in this verse, many lessons. First of all, we see but the foolishness of Bani Israel, Allah subhanaw, Taala blessed them with man and Salwa. And they were asking for something that was inferior, something that was cheaper. They were preferring quantity over quality. And this is done by who the person who is ungrateful and negative. We should analyze ourselves as well. Many times we feel very bad about ourselves. I don't have that iPhone, you know, the iPhone for the new one. Don't have it. I still have that first 3g, one for me. My husband doesn't have any mercy on me. Look at him. He's buying new things and me that old phone. Similarly

person says I have been wearing these shoes for the past two years have said, can't afford to buy new shoes. Look at my purse, so old. It's not a brand name purse. Look at my hijab, so ordinary, God only for $5. Negative, ungrateful. And a person doesn't think that at least I have so many blessings. In gratitude as What foolishness. A person doesn't realize that Hamdulillah I have an iPhone at least even if it's three years old, five years old cares functions perfectly fine. So what if I can't afford a new one? No problem. I have this one. 100 Allah. Allah says Allah insha khardungla se Donna comb. If you're grateful, I will give you more. But when we're ungrateful, we

count what we don't have, instead of counting what we do have. This has been foolish. Similarly, we learned this verse about the rudeness of Bani Israel, how rude they were towards their messenger. Look at the way they addressed him. Yeah Musa landless would are allowed to roam and why further ruler neuropathic.

How rude. Oh Musa will never be patient over this. Go and make dua to your Lord, as if they were instructing him commanding him as if he was our servant. And look at the way they asked him you make dua for us. Why don't you make dua yourself? As if you have no relation with your Lord, no connection with him, as if you have disowned him. You know many times it happens that people keep asking others make dua for me make dua for me make dua for me. Please make dua yourself. The way you will ask Allah other

People cannot ask in the same way for you. When you want something, how do you ask? And when somebody is making dua for somebody else, how do they ask? There's a huge difference. Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran that we'll call her Abu Komodo Rooney, a scheduler calm. Allah has commanded order only call upon me and I will respond to your to us. And those people who are arrogant, meaning who refuse to make dua, they will be entered into hellfire, dark, hidden, humiliated.

So this was the rudeness. This was their ignorance, the way that they addressed materialism and the way that they told him to make dua. Whenever we need something, what should we do? Ask Allah ourselves? Does that mean you cannot ask other people you can. However, don't forget to make dua yourself then, because sometimes we just ask other people and don't do it ourselves. This is incorrect.

Another very important lesson that we learn in this verse is that if Allah subhanaw taala has given us a blessing, then what should we do? We should use it for ourselves. And if Allah subhanaw taala has given us something that is higher, that is better than we should go for that instead of going for what is dinner instead of going for that, which is cheaper, inferior, Bani, Israel were being given hive, what did they want at dinner, it should be the other way around. When Allah subhanaw taala has given us something superior, we should go for that. Meaning there's no harm in choosing the best for ourselves as long as it is within our limits within our budget. And it is not it's

rough. There's no harm in doing that at all. Because people think being religious is, you know, wearing the cheapest things. No, that's not necessary. If you can afford a better watch a better phone, better clothing you can afford, then go ahead. It is quite go ahead. Don't go for the cheaper things, if you can afford the better ones. Then we also learn in this verse that when people chase the dunya, when people go after the dunya, when their desire when their worry becomes the dunya that they are disgraced in this world. Allah subhanaw taala has created us not so that we chased this world but rather we fulfill rule Illa Allah, that we should run to Allah. Not that we should be

running to the stores. That's because your sales over there and buying one thing after the other even if we don't need it. No, we have been told for fear rule Illa Allah and if we don't run towards Allah, instead we start chasing this dunya then there will be humiliation and disgrace. There is a Hadith in which we learn that ALLAH SubhanA Darna says that oh son of Adam, the fun Loggly arriba Additi that become free, make yourself available for my worship. And if you do that, I will make your heart filled up with Lena with richness, meaning make time for Ibadah run to worship Allah, that should be your priority. And if you do that Allah subhanaw taala will fill your heart with

richness with satisfaction with happiness. But if you don't make time for Allah, then what will happen? A person's heart will be filled with misery and sadness and discontent and the sense of loss and a sense of poverty and a sense that I have nothing. What makes us satisfied the worship of Allah, what makes us feel for chasing this dunya that is mascara, that is poverty. Then we also learned in this verse that those people who disobey Allah disobey what Allah subhanaw taala has commanded them and do what Allah subhanaw taala has forbidden them. Such people incur what the Wrath of Allah and such people commit more and more sins, one thing leads to the other. If you look at the

verse, Then he could be under whom can who yak Faloona be Atilla he worked too soon and the beginning of the ladle, Huck, they used to disbelieve in the signs of Allah and they used to kill the prophets of Allah without any right. Why did they do that? Because then it could be morale. So what can we are the dune, one sin leads to the other. One crime leads to the other. On the other hand, one good deed leads to the other. Whatever a person strives to do, that is what is facilitated for him. That is what is made easy for him. If we strive to obey Allah, obedience will be made easy for us. If we strive and disobedience, disobedience will be made easy for us. It happens when you do

one good deed. Don't you feel happy? And you want to do more? And if a person commits a sin once, does it become easier for him to commit that sin again? Of course, remember, every action of yours leads to another action. The actions that we do they're not independent, they affect the other aspects of our lives. They have like a ripple effect. Like domino effect it doesn't stop anywhere. Good will lead to more good bad will lead to more bad then it could be morale so what can your to doing
