Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P01 012B Tafsir Al-Baqarah 63-66

			bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim. Inshallah, in today's lesson we will
learn about three very important events from which many lessons can be learned in Medina, the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam along with him who lived the Muslims, as well as some Jewish tribes. The
Quran addressed the Muslims, teaching them about what they were supposed to do. And there were also
verses that were being revealed directed to the Bani Israel. Why? To remind them of the favorites
that Allah subhanaw taala had bestowed upon them so that they would become more obedient to Allah
and believe in the messenger SallAllahu wasallam and follow Him. So in these verses, we will learn
		

			about the events from the history of Bani Israel that were mentioned. Why do remind them of the huge
favor of Allah and also so that the Bani Israel as well as the Muslims can learn many lessons,
because you know that in history, whenever you reflect there are many lessons for us, we can always
learn from the past, from our own past from the past of other people. History should not just be
studied should not just be narrated, for the sake of narrating for the sake of information. Whenever
we look back, it should be in order to learn a lesson. And this is exactly what Allah subhanaw taala
teaches us in the Quran. So let's see these verses, what is 100 meter kakum and recall when We took
		

			your covenant, if meaning oath Kuru obody Israel, recall this incident remember this time when a
Hanami Felco when We took your covenant, a hudna is from Allah Hamza Ha, Val. So we took your
covenant and me thank is a word that has been used for covenant is from the root letters. Well, Sir
Poff without is used for a rope. What do you do with a rope, you tie things together, you bind them
together, things that are loose, that are separate, you take a rope and you connect them to that
they're firmly bound from the same root is the word meow and we thought is used for a covenant
effect. Why is it called a mythic? Because Amissah binds you ties you up with some obligation, you
		

			are required to do something you are required to not do something you were free of that obligation
before, but now you are obligated. And also mythique has called me Zack, because it is such a
promise it is such a covenant that is made firm. How is it made firm by being made official? For
example, if you make a deal with someone with your friend, you just say okay, I'll give this to you
for this much money, she gives it to you. Okay, she will give it to you after two days. Understood.
It's not that official. But if you go to a lawyer, and in front of the lawyer in front of certain
witnesses, everything is documented, the whole transaction is written down. It's recorded. You sign
		

			bear sign, isn't that made official? Isn't it more strong compared to just a promise in Word, a
commitment in wording, of course, it's more efficient and also more strong. So Misa is such a
covenant that is official, and how is it made official by swearing an oath? By saying that yes, by
Allah, we swear that we will do such and such or we will not do such and such mythos is a very
solid, a very firm a very strong promise, a very serious covenant. So what is a hudna? Meetha kakum,
Albany, Israel, We took your covenant you promised, it wasn't an ordinary agreement, it was a
covenant. And how did we take that covenant from you? What a foreigner folk who will do and we
		

			raised above you the mountain, we raised above you the mountain why, so that you would make that
promise otherwise you weren't willing to do it? Or a foreigner or foreigners from the root letters
off? Right? And Rafa is to raise something and it means to physically elevate something and also to
elevate someone in their ranks. So a foreigner we lifted up we raised folk welcome above you, folk
farewell call Folk is above we have done this word earlier from a folk Aha. So we lifted above you
what a to the word or two means mountain. And this is not an Arabic language but in Syriac language,
and otherwise in the Quran. The word Toad is also used to refer to Mount Sinai in particular, not
		

			just any mountain, but in particular, which mountain Mount Sinai. Anything special about Mount
Sinai? Allah subhanaw taala spoke to most artists and I'm over there. So what a foreigner folk
Nakamoto we lifted up the mountain above you and who it was set to them who do all of you take
Komodo from root letters, Hamza, it's a command that all of you take my Athena calm, whatever that
we have given you. Athena Hamza, yeah, whatever that we are giving you. Take it, hold on to it. How
		

			How should you take it? How should you accept it be cool within with strength? Pull off? Well, yeah,
believe it is to be strong to work strength. There are two types of strength. One is physical
strength, if you say so and so is very strong, meaning they're very mighty in their physical power,
they're very able, and the other is intangible strength, or you can say it's inner strength. And
inner strength can take many forms, it can be in the form of determination, it can be in the form
of, you know, having trust in Allah subhanaw taala, it can be in the form of firm resolve, it can be
in the form of being very committed, not giving up being serious about something being sincere, it
		

			can take many different forms. So the bunny is trying, we're told, take whatever we are giving you
with strength, what were they given? They were given the torah, the book, and they were told that
hold on this book with strength, does it mean that they were told to hold on to the book tightly
with their hands, and never let it fall? Of course, that is the respect that you're supposed to give
to the book. But what does it mean, hold on to the book firmly, that accept whatever is in the book,
take all of it, accept all of it in its entirety. And don't pick and choose but rather follow it and
follow it not just for some time, but with consistency with determination. Because if a person
		

			follows one thing at certain times and gives up at other times, is he determined? Is he doing what
he's doing with strength? No, he's being weak in his actions. So holding on with strength means
determination to follow. This was set to the Bani Israel, Allah subhanaw. Taala is reminding them
that look, this promise was taken from you, from your forefathers that huduma dynaco be coverton.
What's the opposite of holding on to something with strength, holding it with weakness, that a
person is doing it, somebody makes a little bit of fun. And that's it, he loses all his confidence.
He says, I'm never going to do it. Again. This is not to work. What is the law, that once you've
		

			started it, keep doing it. That no matter what happens, whether it is internal struggles, external
problems, no matter what comes in your way, stay firm, stay firm, huduma dynaco, Bill coverting. And
they were also told with goo and remember, Vic Valka fraud, remember, remember what my fee whatever
that is in it? Meaning whatever that is, in the book, whatever that you have been commanded every
single instruction? What should you do? Remember it? Don't forget it. What does it mean by what
kuruma fee? How do you do they could have something they could have something is done with the call
with the lesson and also with the GRE. What does it mean by that? The call meaning the heart,
		

			remember it meaning don't forget it. Like for example if a person has memorized the Quran, what guru
Murphy he means that he keeps it fresh in his memory, not that he memorizes and he forgets he
memorizes and he forgets so what guru Murphy he means keep it fresh in your memory. And that's only
possible if a person keeps studying and keeps reviewing keeps revising. Secondly, they could have
also done with the lesson with the tongue. So whatever is in the book, read it recite it. Typically
what do people do? I love particular Surah of the Quran, so I will only recite them and we ignore a
big portion of the Quran we never recited we never read it. Perhaps we recited it only the first
		

			time we were reading the Quran with our teacher, when we're learning how to read the Quran, but
that's not correct. Allah says what guru Murphy he read whatever is in it, study the entire book,
read recite the entire book. Thirdly, the vicar is also done through the GRE meaning through the
limbs. What does it mean by that? That whatever commands have been given, a person also acts upon
them. A person also brings them in his action. Why remember what is in it with your heart, with your
tongue with your actions? Why? Allah says Allah, Allah calm so that you all that diccon You will
adopt the
		

			you all develop fear of Allah, and when you develop fear of Allah, then what's going to happen you
will perform more good deeds and you will stay away from since what does it show that remembering
the book, holding on to the book, bring about in a person that
		

			because whenever a person does any good deed, what does it lead to? More good deeds? We learn in the
Quran. Yeah, are you Alladhina amanu katiba llegamos Liang Kamakoti Birla Dinniman publikum la isla
con that
		

			fasting has been prescribed for you just as it was prescribed for those before you. Why is that you
develop the core fasting leads to the core meaning more good deeds. Similarly we learned earlier
Yeah. Are you a nurse or obudu Robuchon worship your Lord and at the end of
		

			The verse What do we learn that are local, that
		

			good deeds bring more good deeds. You know why? Because when a person performs a good deed, his
heart is satisfied. Because this is what we were created for. This is the purpose of our creation.
We have the sense of achievement, we have the sense of fulfillment, we feel satisfied, and that is a
source of nourishment for the heart. And when the heart is nourished when the heart is satisfied, it
yearns to perform even more good deeds. On the other hand, when a person disobeys Allah subhanaw
taala. You know what that does? It creates a distance between a person and his Lord, washer
distance, there is no food aversion, that person has no interest in doing good deeds. And you may
		

			have seen that one to do something right. You're able to do more. And if you do one wrong thing, you
feel shy of going before Allah subhanaw taala. I have heard many people saying, I don't pray. So how
can I make dua? Since I don't pray, I don't even fast since I don't do this. I don't even do this.
Before I have to fix myself in doing such and such and then I will focus on prayer. You know, for
example, I'm not going to wear hijab because I don't even pray. One thing leads to another sin. One
good deed leads to another good. So Allah subhanaw taala told them, hold on to the book. Remember
what is in it so that you can have the core and when you have Taqwa you will do one good deed after
		

			the other. And that is the way to success. If you look over here in this verse, the Bani Israel,
Allah subhanaw taala is reminding them of the covenant that was taken from them. What covenant was
this? When was it taken? Remember that Musa alayhis salam when he returned from the mountain, he
brought the Torah and when he gave it to the Bani Israel, what did they say? We were never going to
listen to you until we see hola openly. And we learned earlier for a while that como Sarika to antem
town balloon. So Mbarara, snapcode mimbar, the multicam that they were struck with a thunderbolt.
And they were finished and Allah subhanaw taala give them life again, another chance to live. And
		

			then when was our Islam given the book again? They refuse and overconfidence. We can study this. For
example, people are told learn the book of Allah study the Quran. They say no, I don't want to. Why?
Because if I know, I'll have to follow, I'll have to admit, I don't want to have so I'm not going to
learn. Very similar attitude was that of the Bani Israel. Musa listen, I'm brought the book is
giving them the book. They refusing, refusing, refusing, what happened was that Allah subhanaw taala
lifted up the mountain and raised it above their heads that accept it. Otherwise, you're finished.
You're done. That's it, it's over. Because they were saved from Fiddler on the sea was parted for
		

			them. So many blessings were bestowed on them. Why? So that they would live by the book, and they
would tell other people about the work but look at their behavior. No, we're not going to do it.
We're not going to accept we're not going to listen. Did they deserve to live in? Did they deserve
to be saved then? No. So this is why the mountain was lifted above them accept or you're done. It's
over, you're finished. So at that time, they were afraid. They said fine, you know what we'll
accept. So they accepted and they made a promise with Allah subhanaw taala that yes, we will hold on
to the book with firmness and we will remember what is in it. They made a promise with a hardened me
		

			thorough kakum It was a me felt. They said we will hold on to it. We will remember we will not
forget. But what happens soon after Allah says some matter will later remember the VALIC. Then there
were Latham, you turned away to a Latham. Well, lamea Walla Walla is to turn away, you turn away
mimbar, the Vanik after that meeting, after making that firm promise with Allah subhanaw taala.
After giving your word you turned away? How did the turn away? They promised that they would hold on
to the book. Did they hold on to the book with firmness? No, they didn't hold on to the book with
firmness with strength at all. In fact, they forgot the book. They were told what kuruma fee,
		

			remember what is in it? Read it, they neglected the book. They forgot the book. And you know what,
there came a time on the Bani Israel when they didn't have access to even a single copy of the
Torah. Just imagine. And then Allah subhanaw taala sent a prophet to them, who taught them the book
again. Imagine if the Muslims of today didn't have access to even one copy of the Quran. What does
it show how distant people are from the book of Allah? How they have forgotten who they are, how
they don't even recognize themselves. They don't even have their own identity. This is what the Bani
Israel went through. Allah said so much our later members are like you turned away after that. You
		

			forgot your covenant. You didn't live by it. If they didn't live by the covenant, what did they
deserve punishment. They refuse to accept the covenant the mountain
		

			was lifted above them except or you're finished. They said fine, we'll accept and later on, they
turned away when they turned away later. What did they deserve punishment they should be finished.
However, Allah subhanaw taala out of His mercy, He forgave them. He pardoned them again. Allah says
fanola fault Luma here la con or Rama to follow hula. So had it not been if it was not for Fub Lulu,
the bounty of Allah, the Grace of Allah follow is an extra favor that is given to someone. They
don't necessarily deserve it. It's an extra favor that is given to them. So Allah bestowed a huge
favor on you. You didn't deserve another chance. But Allah gave you one more chance fanola Fub Lulu
		

			hiya aleikum wa rahmatullah wa and also his mercy. What was his mercy upon them that they forgot the
book, they neglected the book, they ignored it, they lost it, but Allah subhanaw taala sent Prophets
he sent messengers to teach them, to guide them to lead them every time they went astray. This is
how merciful Allah is. follow Allah for Allah here. aleikum wa rahmatullah Lecanto. Surely you would
have been mineral ha serene of the losers? Carson in Florida, of course, and who is causing one who
suffers Hassan ha seen? Or what does that mean loss, you would have surely been losers, losers were
in this dunya. And in the era, in this dunya, that Allah's punishment would have come and finished
		

			you all, in the Africa that you would have nothing to show no good deed to be deserving of reward.
Lacan, terminal caecilian there are many lessons to be learned in these verses. First of all, we see
that Allah subhanaw taala, is reminding the Bani Israel of this covenant that they had made with
him. If you remind someone of a promise that they have made with you, why would you do that? So that
they fulfill it, so that they follow it. Now the money is right, you those present at the time of
the profits are a lot isn't where they present at this time when this government was taken no, who
was it, it was their forefathers. But remember that an ummah is like one body, those who came first,
		

			those who come later, all of them are connected together. If something was made obligatory on the
earlier generations, it's also an obligation on the later generations. For example, if a command was
given to the Sahaba, 1400 years ago, can we say oh, it's not for us? No, we're the same. Oh, Ma,
whatever they were commanded. We are also commanded whatever was expected of them, it's also
expected of us. Similarly, their forefathers made the covenant. It didn't mean that those present a
time with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam were not required to live by No, they were also required to
live by it. And what was a covenant holding on to the book with firmness with strength, the Bani
		

			Israel were being given another book by Allah subhanaw taala, which is the Quran, they kept coming
to the Prophet salallahu Salam saying, We won't believe in you until such and such will happen. We
learned about many incidents in which we see the yoo hoo they came to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
they asked him, What is the rule? What is the soul? Allah Subhana Allah sent revealed verses upon
him Yes. Aluna cardinal rule, Guru Herman, MD, Robbie Womack. Ooh, Tito minion. Urmila kalila. Allah
subhanaw taala gave the answer. Similarly, they would come to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and ask
him how did the Bani Israel get to Egypt? They were referring to how use of an s&m came from
		

			Palestine to Egypt. So they would ask him many questions, and they would send the machine of Makkah
as well to ask questions. Why were they doing that? They weren't accepting the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam one excuse after the other. So they're being reminded that look what happened in the past, we
gave a thought to your ancestors, when they refuse the mountain was lifted above them, do you want
the same? You want the same destruction and they're being reminded over here? Secondly, we also
learned from this verse, that in some cases, gentleness works, and in other cases, harshness works,
you might think the mountain being lifted above them. This is quite strict. I mean, this is like
		

			forcing someone to accept something. And you might think this is not fair. People should be given
their freedom to choose. But you know why Bani Israel were not given their freedom because they're
the ones who were being saved by Allah subhanaw taala. And this is why they were saved. So anyway,
in some cases, gentleness works, and in other cases, what works strictness, firmness, for example, a
child, you're teaching him something, you're gentle. You tell him, Okay, do this. It's good for you
tell him in a very nice way. I love you. You're so good. You're such a good girl, so on and so
forth. You praise a child, you're very gentle. You give her incentives, and she listens. But if she
		

			doesn't listen, there comes a point where you become a little firm. You said do it or else such and
such will happen? And you will give you know, a stern look, you will glare at the child or sometimes
you will be a little firm in the way you speak. Why? Because it's important to teach that particular
thing to the child
		

			For example, if a child is holding something that's dangerous, they're trying to grab something
that's dangerous scissors, what are you going to do? Let the child play and let the child explore.
You're going to say, please put that away, sweetheart. And if they don't listen, put that away. Put
that away right now. firmness, the same way, Allah subhanaw taala was very gentle with them, and he
was firm with them. Then we also learned these verses, let the people who have been given a book by
Allah subhanaw taala, how should they hold on to the book? We have been given the Quran what should
we do? Whenever we think of the Quran, we only think about putting it on a high place, not touching
		

			it without making sure that it's covered up in a very nice cover so that it's absolutely
inaccessible. This is what we do generally. But is this the right way? No, we have been told to hold
on to the book before working with strength with firmness. It's only possible if you understand the
book, if you know the book. The only way to hold on to the book to remember what is in it is to have
a constant connection with the book of Allah, to have it with you throughout your life. This is the
only way of holding on to the book of Allah. Otherwise, we will forget otherwise, we will not be
able to follow. Then we also learn in these verses that Allah subhanaw taala is very generous. He's
		

			very forgiving, he's very merciful. Despite our wrongdoing, he gives us many, many chances again and
again and again. The money is like you did they deserve to even live when they refuse to accept the
data. But yourself in that position. If you save somebody, and they refuse to listen to you, what
are you going to do? Think about it? Forget it, finish them, get rid of them. But Allah subhanaw
taala he is so generous that despite the fact of the Bani Israel refused so many times, Allah
forgave them every time for Lola frog Lulu here aleikum wa rahmatullah who they forgot. And Allah
who reminded them again, they neglected and Allah taught them again. This is generosity of Allah,
		

			this is the Mercy of Allah. But typically, how do people think about Allah subhanaw taala we have a
very wrong perception very wrong image that since I have done this, Allah will never forgive me. Or
that Allah was wants to punish us. No, there are so many ways that Allah has opened up for our
forgiveness for our repentance so that we have one chance after the other Gakuen terminal ha city
		

			and then the Bani Israel are reminded of another incident, one other limb to him and certainly you
know, I am to him. I inland meme URL, what is URL mean? Knowledge. So certainly, you know, meaning
you are fully aware about what a Lavina those people who irritate the Dominicans who transgressed
among you, Erica doe, alright, then, well, we have done this word earlier. Can we artha dune? What
does it mean? to transgress the limits? If something is prohibited, a person does it anyway. So they
transgressed the across the limits? Concerning what fists savety concerning the seven.
		

			What is a subject? What is the Sabbath set is Saturday, and it's from the route letter seen by that.
And Sebata literally used to cut something to sever something, and subbed Saturday was a day of
worship for the bunny. It's not you. But it wasn't like Friday for us or Sunday for the Christians.
It was very different for them, how that they were not allowed to do any worldly work. They're not
allowed to go to work. They're not allowed to do any worldly chores, any at all. And this is why
it's called sub because you're cut off from the dunya completely cut off with us on Friday. What are
we required to do the men that are required to go to the masjid and pray Salah to do more, but then
		

			the hook but pray, and then afterwards they're free, they can go do whatever they need. However, for
the Jews, the entire day of Saturday, they were supposed to worship Allah subhanaw taala and do no
worldly chores whatsoever? Why do you think it was made so difficult for them?
		

			They brought it upon themselves by disobeying Allah subhanaw taala. If you think about it, the more
rebellious a person is, the more strict rules are made for him. For example, if there is a child,
there is a teenager, the parents trust him, is he going to be questioned on where he went? Who he
called, what he did? No, parents trust him. Casually you know, every other day the parents may
inquire but not about every single thing. Other children who are rebellious who lie who cheat who
deceived who say they're going to school, but they end up at the mall, who say they're going to go
to their friends to study but they end up watching a movie with their friend at the theater and the
		

			parents catch them off guard or something like that. So the more rebellious the more disobedient
upper
		

			As soon as the more strict rules are laid on them, for example, if a teenager is very rebellious,
the parents will say, here's a phone, tell me when you get there, I'll drop you there myself, you're
not going with your friends, I'll drop you myself. And I'll pick you up myself. If he wants to go
somewhere, they say, No, you're not allowed only once a week, not more. You're only allowed to be on
the computer till 11 o'clock, not beyond that. And then after that the internet is unplugged, or
something or the other happens. Strict rules are given to those who are prone to be more
disobedient. The bunny is right, we can see their attitude, how were they very rebellious. The book
		

			has been given, sorry, we're not going to accept the mountains lifted, okay, then they accept. So
similarly, one of the difficulties that were laid upon them was what? That the day of Saturday was
the day when they were only supposed to worship Allah subhanaw taala and do nothing else. And if
they did any worldly work, that would be like a sin for them. It was haram for them to engage in any
worldly activities, absolutely. Haram. They brought it upon themselves. So what happened? There was
a particular community of the Jews who lived by the sea, and they were fishermen. They used to fish.
Now on Saturday, where are they allowed to fish? They weren't allowed to fish because it's a worldly
		

			activity. However, Allah subhanaw taala tested them how that on Saturday, there will be so many fish
right at the shore. Imagine they were fishermen. And if you see fish at the shore, where you're
going to do this, wash them and do nothing. No, you want to catch them. But they knew that if they
caught the fish that would be sinful. So they didn't want to disobey. And at the same time, they
didn't want to miss that opportunity either. So what did they do they transgressed concerning the
Sabbath, how we learned in the Quran, that what they will do is they would put the net on Friday,
and on Sunday, they will take the net out.
		

			You understand, they will put the net on Friday, on Saturday as the fish are coming in or getting
caught in the net. On Sunday, they will take it out. So they were fishing, but they weren't actually
fishing. They were playing a trick. This was deception, radar deception. They were playing around
with the rules of Allah subhanaw taala. These days, people will say, Well, how smart, how clever.
Look at them. They didn't break the rule of the Sabbath, but at the same time, they got the fish as
well. Well, the point of the Sabbath is that you don't do any worldly things on Saturday. On
Saturday, you should be having no worldly prophets. So if you have the fish, if you have the net in
		

			and you take it out on Sunday, you're transgressing the limits. So Allah subhanaw taala says that
certainly you know about those people who transgressed concerning the Sabbath for Cornella home so
we said to them, who you become, period and apes have seen ones that are despised. virada is a
plural of period and test is used for an ape. They were told become perioada that are harassing in
class in Florida classic and classic horror scene Hamza. CASA, is to chase someone away. shoo away.
Who do you shoo away who do you chase away someone will despise someone who doesn't have any honor
any respect any worth. So Kunal Peridot and cos II, you play with the rules of Allah with the
		

			commands of Allah, you try to deceive Allah, they're become apes and their hearts in and they
literally literally they were turned into apes. And it is said that in their physical bodies, they
became like apes, but in their mind, they were like human beings, meaning they knew who they were,
they knew what had happened to themselves, they would weep and cry, and they remain like this for
three days and after that they died. And the Spanish went was so severe, that Allah says that Fajr
Allah, so we made it, NACA Alan Fajr Allah Hua Ji Marine, La Jolla, what does your Allah mean to
make something? So we made it what Nick Eilon an exemplary punishment, meaning this punishment that
		

			was given to them was made like an exemplary punishment Nicalis from the root letters known Kathlyn
and knuckle is used for neck collars or handcuffs. And Narcan is used for an exemplary punishment, a
very severe punishment that is given to someone a very severe punishment, and a severe punishment.
It kind of locks them up so that they never repeat that sin again. They never repeat that crime
again, punishment becomes like a collar for them something that restrains them from repeating the
crime again, it becomes like a neck collar, like handcuffs, restraining them from ever committing
the crime again, or it serves as a deterrent for other people. So this punishment that was given to
		

			them Fajr Allah Hannah Carla, and it was an exemplary punishment for them and also for those other
than them Lima Boehner your day her woman Han for her for that which was before it, and that which
was behind it.
		

			What does it mean by this Lima beignet? They have Boehner is between and he a day this is a duel of
yours. What does he mean? Hand? Yeah, they two hands beignet a day between two hands. In Arabic,
many words are used for front for before often has been a are they between two Hence, what is
between two hands is in front of you is right before you. So when you look at the words Boehner you
they don't say between its two hands, but rather what does it mean? Before it? So it was an
exemplary punishment for the people, the towns that were in front of it in front of that town woman
hunted for her and those towns that were called for her behind it, hide behind Holly amfa. What does
		

			it mean by this, that it was an exemplary punishment for all those people who lived in the
surrounding areas in the north in the south in the East in the West, meaning the surrounding areas.
Some of southern what this means is Lima, Albania they here refers to the people of that time,
because some people transgressed the ruling of the Sabbath and other people did not so those who did
not, for them, this was an exemplary punishment. And they knew that they were never ever going to
make such a mistake like those people that otherwise they would also suffer a similar punishment. So
my beignet they are first two people off that time and hellfire refers to the people who would come
		

			later in the future. Hellfire refers to who people who would come later in the future. So this was
an exemplary punishment, people of that time, and people who came later, and exemplary punishment,
however, it was a mower ilaha illa, tan for who lived with the pain for those people who adopt Aqua
mower, Allah is from the root letter as well or in law world. Motorola is such a device that softens
the heart of a person that really affects them, which results in their changing their actions. If
somebody orders you in a way that is not effective at all, you will listen and you will forget. But
if somebody advises you, and they really touch your heart, then what will happen? Will you remember?
		

			Yes? Will it bring about a change in your actions? Definitely. So Marilla is what an effective
advice such an advice that brings about a change in the actions of a person. But how is more or less
given? How is it different from other types of advice? Marilla has two things in it. First of all,
it has the heap. And secondly, it has the lead. What is the heap to arouse fear? And secondly,
thirdly, what is the lever to encourage to give an incentive to give hope. So if somebody advises
you in this way, that they're warning you, they make you afraid, but at the same time, they make you
hopeful. Are you going to accept their advice? Yes. So this became a Motorola for who little
		

			motorcade for those people who adopt aqua and exemplary punishment for who, all people, but it
brought about a change in who little motor thing. Everybody when they hear but this punishment,
they're like, Oh, my God, this is something serious. However, how many people actually change their
behavior? Those who have the car, those who are really serious about saving themselves. For example,
a big incident happens. There's an accident, a major accident, two people died a big car crash. Why?
Because the person was on a cell phone. Some people talk about it, and they say, oh my god, he was
talking on the phone, they ended up in an accident and two people die. Many people will talk about
		

			it. Only some people will change their behaviors. People who drink and then drive are more prone to
accidents. And they know that if you do it, you're going to end up in an accident. Still people will
drink and drive. Who takes more Allah Who benefits from the advice from the warning that is given
with the clean those who are really serious about saving themselves about protecting themselves and

			In his verses, we see that the Jews who were present at the time of the Prophet sallallahu sallam,
they are being reprimanded. Well, aka the LM tomb, you know, you are fully aware of what happened to
the people of the Sabbath when they transgressed its limits. So they're being reprimanded, that you
know what happened to them, yet you haven't taken any lesson? What was the lesson that they should
have taken, that those people who play around with the commands of Allah, they suffer in this world
and in the hereafter? Serious punishments are given to them? So they're being reprimanded, that you
know that this man, Mohammed Salatu Salam is indeed the Messenger of Allah, yet you deny him, yet
		

			you reject Him? Yet you alter the sign in your books? And you say, No, he's not the messenger, you
have the audacity to do that. What are called the ILM term, they're being reprimanded. Then we also
learn in these verses at the Bani Israel, they were given a very severe punishment because of the
trick that they played because of the healer with regards to matters that were prohibited. What does
it show that here meaning use of trickery in the matters of religion, this is something that is
prohibited hayleigh A trick is used, why? To make something haram Hello, how that something that is
prohibited, you're not going to do it directly, but you're going to do it indirectly. So basically,
		

			you're getting to the same end, but through different means. You're getting to the same end, but how
through different means. And this is something that is prohibited in our religion, because it's like
playing with Allah subhanaw taala it's like making a fool out of the one who has given you that
prohibition. It's like trying to fool him. This is how children are played with this is our children
are deceived, that yes, we will go out and the child thinks we're gonna go out to the park and you
just take him to the backyard is not deceiving the child. Of course. And that's exactly what people
do with the religion of Allah subhanaw taala and this is something that is prohibited. And you know
		

			what, this is much worse than actually committing the haram. Committing The Haram is wrong. The use
of hayleigh the use of trickery is much worse. Why? Because it includes two things the commission of
haram and secondly, deception clida. So this is why it becomes a much worse crime than actually
committing the Haram and who is deceitful the hypocrites. The prophets of the Lord Islam explicitly
forbade us from this he said that do not do what the Jews did, that they made the things that Allah
made haram Halal upon themselves. How through trickery through the seat.
		

			Can you think of some ways in which people trick the religion of Allah today to make what is haram?
Hello, for example, they will give interest riba another name, it's exactly the same process. What
is interest, an extra charge that is paid on a loan, people will give it another name, and they will
still give it and take it. Something is actually supposed to be for $50,000 at the end there being
60,000. But they won't call that 10,000 ribeye, they will call it something else. Changing the name
doesn't change the reality of something. You're using trickery to get to something haram through
another way through another means. One thing that really bothers me is beat boxing. You know what
		

			beat boxing is? Making musical sounds with your mouth, you're getting the same results of the drum
beat and the strings and so on and so forth. And when you hear the beat boxing, you can't even tell
if it's music or its vocals. If it sounds you can't even tell. Who are you trying to deceive? Who
are you trying to fool. Unfortunately, this has become so common today in our Islamic machine even
that you hear the machine and you don't know if it's music or if it's sound.
		

			I've been teaching my child he's two and a half years old, that we don't listen to music. Anytime
there's music, we turn whatever's on off or we mute it. Recently, I was showing him a sheet. This to
keep him a little busy for a few minutes. It was a video on YouTube. And I realized there would be
actually you know, sounds in it. And he said music and I'm like, What do I tell this child? It's
music but it's not music. If I tell them it's not music, you're going to be confused that Mom What
is this whatever you want to call music you call music or whatever, you don't want to call it music.
You don't call it music. It's the same effect. If you listen to beatboxing if you listen to music,
		

			it creates the same bouncing feelings in your body. It has the same impact on your heart. Similarly,
people will electronically produce the same sounds but they will say it's not music. It has the same
effect. It sounds
		

			exactly the same. What's the difference if you use a drum or if you use your mouth? This is playing
tricks with the religion of Allah subhanaw taala
		

			for example, a swear word, instead of saying the actual word you change it a little. Like for
example, people say, Jesus, you know when something that they say cheese or Geez, why would you say
that even at the time of need, you should not be calling wondery Silas and I we should be calling
one who? Allah subhanaw taala. Don't say jeez, don't say that. Even if you change the word, it means
the same thing. If you alter the words, likely, people know exactly what you're saying. It doesn't
make it any different.
		

			By for example, taking harm meat and then saying Bismillah that I'm eating. This is tricking
fooling. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam explicitly forbade us from this. Our religion is a
religion of honesty and sincerity. And if a person is honest and sincere, you should remember that
Allah knows exactly what I'm doing. He will keep his wave simple. And he will abide by the rules
that Allah subhanaw taala has given.
		

			We also learned in this verse about the greed of Bani Israel that how greedy they were for dunya
that they wanted to make money. They cannot even give a little bit of their time to Allah subhanaw
taala they say we're too busy. We're too busy. We're too busy. For example, with you many people
might be sick. You go on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday. How can you do that.
		

			But once you've made up your mind, you are able to do other things as well. For example, with me, it
was always a fear that I had been committed on the weekends. Why? Because we can morning dinner, you
take it easy, you have a late breakfast, you do your laundry, you do your cooking, and your cleaning
and everything. But now Alhamdulillah the same thing is getting done as well. But my mornings are
going in something much better. Something that's much more productive, something that's much more
beneficial for me and for other people. So we should not be so greedy for dunya that we cannot even
spare a little bit of time for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala five mornings we spend for this
		

			dunya can we not spend two mornings for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala doesn't he have a right?
		

			Then we also learn these verses that the punishment that Allah subhanaw taala gives to people
they're always similar or appropriate to the crime that has been committed. What did they do? They
tricked with the deen of Allah. were fishing but we're not really fishing. So Allah subhanaw taala
made them human but not really human. Tierra de tan ha seen because apes in their physical body.
They're very similar to human beings very similar, but they're not human beings. Similarly, they
played with their religion of Allah, they tricked and Allah subhanaw taala also treat them. The
punishment is always like the crime. Always. We also learn in these verses that of punishment that
		

			Allah subhanaw taala gifts, it serves two purposes. First of all, to stop the person from repeating
the crime and secondly, a deterrent for other people as well and that can exemplary punishment.
		

			Then we also learn in these verses that mower Allah admonition changing your behavior. This is done
by who? Those people who have Taqwa we're more we're a little more talking to the more the core
person has, the more he will change his actions, the more he will improve in his behavior.
