00:00:00--> 00:00:47

Let's continue. What if Allah Musa Allah call me he, when other incident is being mentioned? Remember when Musa alayhis salam said to his people who are His people, the Bani Israel and why is it been said his people? Because a person is always sincere to his own people, whatever a person will tell them, there will be something good. So it's called a Musala. Comey he when Musala said I'm sad to his people that in Allah indeed Allah yet Morrocco he orders you? Hamza meme, Aura armor, and armor is a command. So indeed, Allah orders you, and Thurber who Baqarah that you should slaughter a cow. That's the who then had the the beha what does it mean to slaughter? Allah is ordering you that

00:00:47--> 00:01:24

you have to slaughter a cow back on Rotten Baqarah is from the root letters back off raw, and it's a singular word and it applies to female as well as male. Allah is ordering you to slaughter a cow. Why did Allah subhanaw taala command them to slaughter a cow? We learn in the verses that will come later that a man was killed from the Bani Israel and people couldn't figure out who had killed him. And they were blaming each other that you know, you killed Oh, no, you killed him so and so killed him. So every person was blaming another and this could lead to a great fitness. So the people said, Okay, why are we arguing amongst ourselves? Let's go to Musa alayhis salam and ask him. So the

00:01:24--> 00:02:02

Wonder mozarella Salah and they asked him to Musa Salam said, Allah subhanaw taala commanded him that if they want to know who killed that man, and they have to slaughter a cow first. Another reason is given the Bani Israel you they had a lot of love for cows? How do we know? Because they made a calf of gold and they started worshiping it. And they still had that love for the cow. That love had to be finished. It had to be destroyed. It had to be taken out of their heart. So for that reason, they were told to slaughter the cow because they considered a cow holy, very sacred. It had to be shown to them that look, these are creatures that are created for your use, not that you

00:02:02--> 00:02:45

worship them, but that you benefit from them. So Allah subhanaw taala commanded them that you slaughter a cow when Musa al salaam said that to them called Lou they said a doctor he do now who's well? Are you kidding? Are you joking with us? That who wrote letters Hamza that a coda is reject so at that time he do now are you taking us who's the one in mockery? Has one we have learned the word earlier? Yes, that is the own Musa has your own has a Hamza to make fun of someone to market someone to have a good laugh at them. So the satin was our listen. Are you joking with us? Are you making a fool of us? Are you kidding? At that Duffy do now who's Hua Karna Musa, the salon replied, that all

00:02:45--> 00:03:30

the Billa he I seek refuge with Allah. Greenwell, then Aroo I seek refuge with Allah and Hakuna that I should be mineral Jaya Helene of those who are ignorant. Jaya Helene is a plural of Jay Hill. And who is Jay Hill one who suffers from Jan, Jan Jim Hallam, ignorance, ignorance is that a person does not know or that a person behaves like he does not know. Either he doesn't know or that he behaves like he does not know. So he said earlier Billahi an akuna minal Jaya Helene. Question, why did the Bani Israel say Are you joking with us? Are you making fun of us when he told them about the Command of Allah? Because of their love for the cow? They didn't want to slaughter the cow. So I said, Are

00:03:30--> 00:04:13

you joking? It's like you tell somebody to do something that they don't want to do. If you tell them what are they going to say? Are you joking? I'm never going to do it. How could you ask me to do it? No way. They did not want to slaughter the cow at all. And this is why they said that they do now who's well, so Musar Listen, replied early to Billahi an akuna minal Jahai. Lee ignorant. Why did most artists and I'm say that because making fun of other people is behaving ignorant. We think making fun of other people being sarcastic. This is what being very clever, being very smart, being very intelligent. But in fact, this is foolishness. This is ignorance. Because a person who has

00:04:13--> 00:04:55

respect for others, he will never ever do that. A person who has a little bit of sense will have respect for other people, just as he has respect for himself. That Oh, the Billahi an akuna minal Jaya Helene. Now, since the Bani Israel did not want to slaughter the cow at all. Carlu they said, Oh, the rule and you call for us who? Your Lord. They said this earlier as well. Oh, they're all gonna rub back you make dua to your Lord. For us. There are two things that we see over here. First of all, how the money is right or not making themselves but they're ordering their profit. Oh, there you go. Make as if he's their servant, and they're the boss. Secondly, we see that the bunny is

00:04:55--> 00:04:59

trying to say oh, they're gonna rock Baca. Go and make dua to you.

00:05:00--> 00:05:23

Your Lord, Isn't he there Lord as well? Of course, but the said your Lord, what does it show? That they had absolutely no love no respect for Allah soprano. No love for Him no respect for him. Because if a person has even a little bit of Eman, a little bit of love and respect for Allah, then he wants to your Allah What will he say? Our Lord?

00:05:24--> 00:06:06

Oh, the rolling out of Buck, Call upon your Lord for us. Ask him that you obey him he should make clear you buy units from the new letters by noon to clarify something. So he should make clear Lana for us my here what it is, it should clarify what kind of a cow it is my here here refers to the cow. And here is a feminine of the word Hua. What does who I mean, here and here means she. Remember I told you earlier that in Arabic language, all nouns have a gender either masculine or their feminine. But in English, since they're not looked at the same way. This is why we translate who what and he has sometimes as it says that Call upon your Lord that he should clarify the cow to was

00:06:06--> 00:06:44

what kind of a cow is it? tells me something if you have been told to slaughter a cow. Isn't that quite clear? You haven't been told to slaughter an animal. If you were told to slaughter an animal, you would say okay, a cow, a goat, a camel what? But if you were told a cow, it's understood. You don't need to know about the profession of the cow, the race of the cow, the complexion of the cow or anything like that. But they started asking one question after the other. Why? Because they did not want the slaughter the cow. So they said, Oh, they're gonna narrow but you may yield an AMA here. He should clarify to us what this is. We don't understand this instruction. And likewise,

00:06:44--> 00:07:19

people behave with the commands of Allah subhanaw taala. But I don't understand. How are you supposed to do this? And why are you supposed to do this? But it doesn't make sense to me, but I don't get it. But why not this and why not that? These questions they come from a person who doesn't want to obey who doesn't want to listen? God Allah He said Musa al Islam he responded to them, that inner who indeed he meaning Allah subhanaw taala your guru he says in the herbal Quran that indeed it is a cow meaning it should be a cow. What kind of a cow Lafferty it should not be old. What are the crone nor should it be too young.

00:07:20--> 00:08:08

What's the age are one on middle of age bein a very between that between what being extremely old and being very young, middle aged, calm. Think about it. They asked for more clarification, and they made it more difficult for themselves. faryal is from the root letters fair, raw VOD further, is to cut something that is solid, something that is firm. What does Florida mean to cut something that is solid, something that is fair. And fold is something that is an obligation that is mandatory on us fat it is used for a cow that has become old, meaning it has cut through its life. It has become old, it has crossed its youth and now it has become old and it has given birth to multiple cows. It

00:08:08--> 00:08:53

has given birth many many times before. So Olden age fat it was a big big is the opposite of that big from the root letters. Baca frog is used for urgent meaning someone who has never given birth so far is extremely old become extremely young. What is it then? r1 and Baynard Alec are 109 well known and Erwan gives a meaning of that which is in the middle middle of age. A cow that is middle of age Boehner VALIC Musar listen I'm told them for for a nomadic maroon do whatever you are being commanded. Don't ask too many questions for for our Lu farine lamb until maroon Hamza membre what is Amin? A command so far no matter maroon do it already don't ask so many questions. But what are the

00:08:53--> 00:09:37

Bani Israel do after knowing about the exact age of the cow they were in confusion when what was the confusion man alone AHA what should be its color loan is from the root letter Islam well known and loan is the color the complexion the shade and basically it's used for the natural color of something not a color that has been put on something but the natural color of something. So what is the natural color of the cow Malone haha, color he said? Musa al Islam replied that in who you're gonna that Allah Subhana Allah says in the hair Bacala tone indeed it is a cow. What color should it be Sephora Hello, Sephora from the letter SOT Farah so far it means yellow, but for a cow obviously

00:09:37--> 00:09:59

you don't have yellow cows you have like brown gold almost. So that kind of a color Sephora yellow, but this color should be yellow. Moreover, it should be fair, Karen Lowe knew her. Felker fell off our aim. And folklore literally means to burst to explode. And Foucher is used for the brightness or the purity of

00:10:00--> 00:10:42

yellow color is like an adjective that further describes the color yellow. Like for example, black called Black or you say jet black pitch black, right? So they're different adjectives that you use to show the darkness of the color black. So similarly Felker is a word that is used to describe the brightness of the color yellow. And thirdly, the sorrow now leading the sorrow it should please seen raw su through displeasure. It should please Who analogy Nazarene, those who look now moodiness or love now is there. One who looks. In other words, it shouldn't be like fluorescent yellow, but it should be a color that is very comfortable. That is very nice. When you look at it, we actually like

00:10:42--> 00:11:29

it, you're pleased by it. What do we see over here? They asked unnecessary questions, and the matter was made even more difficult for them. If they had gone and slaughtered any cow, would it be accepted? Yes. But they said what age and what color? So when they made the deen difficult for themselves, it became more difficult for them. They asked for the color. They were given three descriptions. First of all Sephora, secondly felt there. And thirdly, the pseudomonads leading. Were they satisfied that? No, they wanted to ask more questions. Or do they said other than Rebecca, Call upon your Lord for us? You may hear Lana he should make clear for us may hear what it is. He should

00:11:29--> 00:12:13

further clarify the kind of the cow why? Because in Al Baqarah indeed the cows, the Shabba or Lena they all look alike to us. albacore. Look at the word albacore. Earlier, we read the word belcarra Baqarah, with a Tamil booth at the NDC demo booth over here. No, you don't see it here. There is a difference. Bacala is one cow, one cow. It's a singular and backup, this is a plural. So the said Indeed the cows meaning all cows, the look alike to us, the Shabba the Shabbos from the roulette machine by her. And we have done this word earlier. And what does that mean? When one thing resembles the other that you can't tell between the two you're confused as to what is what? Like for

00:12:13--> 00:12:54

example, if you have two twin sisters, they're sitting together, both are going to look similar to you. And that similarity is going to create confusion for you. So decide in Al Baqarah, Tasha Bahar Lena, all the cows look the same to us, really, with such a description that the cow should be of this age. And it should be of this particular color. How can you ever say that all the cows look alike to you? Such a cow would definitely stand out. And they said we're in that and indeed we in sha Allah if Allah wills Namo, if they don't surely will be rightly guided and what they don't Florida with that one who accepts guidance when who is received of guidance? So if Allah wants,

00:12:54--> 00:13:30

we're going to do it. What are they implying over here? If Allah wants we will do it. They're basically saying Allah doesn't want us to do it. If Allah wants I will do it. So if I don't do it, it means ALLAH does not want me to do it. If people say if Allah wants, I'll pray. If Allah wants I'll become a very good person. If Allah want I will stop lying if Allah want, I will do this and this and this. In other words, you're blaming Allah. That's exactly what the Bani Israel did. As if you know, we really want to slaughter the cow. However, it's just so difficult. Maybe Allah doesn't want us to do it. It's a simple instruction. When you make it complicated, it will become

00:13:30--> 00:14:20

complicated. We're in in sha Allah Who Lamb of the dune parlor Musa alayhis salam said in the who your Kulu indeed Allah says that in the heart Bacala tone indeed it is a cow lather Loulan it should not be the rule. The rule is from the root letters, then lamb lamb, any other words that you can think of from the same root villa? What is the humiliation? The LoL is one that is subdued, meaning one that is humble and low under someone. So, if you think of an animal that is the LWL what is it mean? tamed? Right someone that works, an animal that works, that is used in the farms or for some other purpose. So, he said in the Hubba, curato leather Loulan it should not be subdued for labor,

00:14:21--> 00:14:59

what kind of labor in particular, that to theorical earth that it plows the earth that it plows the land to zero sir, well raw sorrow yesu is to stir to route something to upturn something to agitate something. In earlier times, even today, in many places, animals are used for plowing the land for agriculture, animals are used for preparing the soil so that you can have plants it should not be such that plows the land, it should not be subdued. It should not be tamed that plows the land while others and however, it should not be such that irrigates the fields the crops

00:15:00--> 00:15:44

thus be seen Coffea any other word from the same root is this called. So let us call House House House is used for crop field agricultural plants. In other words, it should not be a cow that works at the firm's neither in plowing the land nor in watering the fields. You must be wondering how can cows water the fields, grouse gonna take up buckets and go and put them on the water or take a hose and spray? Howard cows do that, in many places, what they have is like for example, a well is full of water where there is a particular reservoir that is full of water and they will have a wheel that has buckets attached to it, if the wheel moves, the buckets will get filled up with the water and as

00:15:44--> 00:16:22

the wheel moves, they will fall and the water will go into a particular direction into a particular stream and like this, the water will be irrigated. So to have that wheel moving people would have a cow or an animal attached to it and certain gears fixed in a particular way. So if the cow would move, walk around the wheel would move when the wheel will move, the water will come. So you understand one that is subdued to labor it should not be such a cow. Moreover, Musala Matan, it should be perfectly sound sound in what in its body because which kind of an animal would not be used in the farms. An animal that has some defect, like for example the foot is broken or something

00:16:22--> 00:17:08

is wrong with the animal so this is why it's not used for work. No, it should be more Saldana was a llama seen lamb mean? Salam safety security so Musa lemma one that is safe and sound meaning perfect in its health perfect in its condition. Last year, the fee here there should be no blemish on it. Chia is from the root letter as well. Sheen Yeah. And washi is to put a mark on something that is different in color from the color of what you're putting the mark on. For example, you have a white piece of paper, if you write with a white pen, is it going to show? No, if you write with a black pen, is it going to show Yes. So the mark that you put that as black on white paper that Mark is

00:17:08--> 00:17:52

what Shia like for example animals they're spotted. Sometimes you have dog with black spots. You have a brown cow with white spots you have a white cow with black spots. And sometimes you would have a horse that is completely black but just a white mark on its forehead. Just one spot. One spot that is of a different color. Allah subhanaw taala said last year tafisa There should be not even a single mark on it meaning it should be spotless it should be playing in its color no injury no scar no wound no spots nothing last year to fee her. Now the Bani Israel they realize they were in trouble here they ask any more questions that's it they will never be able to find such a cow. So

00:17:52--> 00:18:39

they said pretending to be very serious. Oh no, they said l energy that will help now you have brought the truth now we get it a LAN. What does ln mean now at this time present so now Jetta you have come Bill help Jetta from the Veterans gym. Yeah Hamza. Jab, jab means he came Jetta you brought. So now you have brought Bill help with the truth. Meaning, now you have brought the right description. Now you have told us about the cow, which kind of a cow it should be. But when we saw this, and I'm told them in the La Jolla model commanded by her Wirkkala wasn't that I'll help of course, but they kept on asking questions one after the other. And then they said I'll energy that

00:18:39--> 00:19:20

will help. Some have said that what they meant by the statement is that when Musashi said I'm told him, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow. What did they say at that the Luna? Hosszu? Are you making fun of us? Are you joking with us? They asked all of these questions and they said, Now we know that you were serious. Now we know that you weren't joking. Can the Prophet of Allah ever joke about the commands of Allah? Is it ever possible that the Prophet of Allah would say, Allah commands you to do this? No, no, I was joking. La Hola. Hola, como de la bella, you can never imagine a righteous person even doing that. Can you imagine the Prophet of Allah to do that? This is how they

00:19:20--> 00:19:59

behaved with Lusardi said and they said I'll earn a cheetah will help. Now we know that you're speaking the truth, as if they did not even trust him. And then further Baha, then they slaughtered it. Then finally they slaughter the cow. They must have taken them a long time to find such a cow forever who her and Allah says wema cadre of our known they were nowhere near doing it. They almost did not do it. Well my cat do care do have we done a similar word. Here cat will gather you can do is to be at the verge of doing something to be at a point almost do it. So Walmart can do they almost did not yet or alone. They almost did not slaughter the cow. But they did it and now

00:20:00--> 00:20:43

When the cow was slaughtered, what happened with the cow? What did they do with it? Allah subhanaw taala mentions the incident and remember when you killed a person, but also cattle, you kill the person for $1 to feed her and then you disputed over it further or Thomas from the root letters then law Hamza Daraa is toward of something, something is coming towards you, you push it away to it down. it down, I see that sound of the olive after the dial down it there. This shows that there more than one person involved. So it there are two meanings all of you were disputing about it, meaning all of you were blaming each other. One person was accused, you killed him. He threw that

00:20:43--> 00:21:19

allegation on someone else. He warded it off, he pushed it away. No, you killed him. He pushed it away to somebody, no, you killed him. So you understand what's going on. Imagine a group of people with a ball, one person is throwing the ball to the other, he throws it away, and then he throws it away. He throws it away constantly back and forth, back and forth. So similarly, they were hurling one another with the accusation of murder that you have killed him for Daraa Sophia, and the person who had actually killed the man he also pretend that he hadn't killed it. Allah said well, Allahu Mahana Jun and Allah is One who brings out more courage one who brings out Karachi. One who brings

00:21:19--> 00:22:01

out Macintosh tech to moon when you are concealing that Timon Katana what is Qatar mean to hide? So the person who had committed the murder was hiding his crime and he thought he could hide his crime by accusing other people. But what does Allah say well, Allahu Mojari, Jun malcontent, Dr. Moon, you can hide from people but you cannot hide from Allah. You can hide something but Allah who will bring it out to Allah Who mockery Juma contact a wound for coolness so we said it booty boo hoo strike him striker who strike the dead man, that man who was killed, meaning strike his dead body, with what be barreled Leha with some of it with a part of it with a part of what with a part of the cow that was

00:22:01--> 00:22:24

slaughtered. So take a piece of that cow and then strike the dead man with that piece for Colibri will be barely here. And we learn that what happened was that that man became alive and he spoke the name of the person who killed him. You may say How was that possible that man was dead? Allah says Karateka your healer will mode.

00:22:26--> 00:23:10

Likewise Allah who will bring about those who are that he will give life to those who are that Allah if he can create us once he can also give us life again. He can recreate us again. And this is exactly what the Bani Israel we're being taught today Alika your hula hula Mota where you recomb iOttie La Jolla Kentucky Rouen and he shows you a sign so that you understand you're you're here some letters higher yeah higher this life. And l Mota is a poor enough may yet one was dead Mota, those who are that. So those people who die Allah who will bring them back to life again, just as this dead man was brought to life again, while you reclaim it and he shows you His signs. Evidence

00:23:10--> 00:23:48

is proves that if this man can come alive, all of you can also be brought back alive, law law contract alone so that you understand you use your reason. It is said that this incident, it served many purposes, the Bani Israel, they had many, many lessons in it for them. First of all, their love for the cow. It was finished. Many times it happens that people have false assumption false beliefs about something, and they're completely baseless. Just recently, somebody was telling me that they saw a video about how in Pakistan in a particular area, there was a huge tree, a massive tree, and people would go and worship over there saying, There is a man who is buried over here and we pray to

00:23:48--> 00:24:23

Him, we worship Him, we asked him for help. And he responds to us. And there were a group of people who said that you should be only praying to Allah subhanaw taala. So they said, We're going to finish this tree and then you will see that this tree cannot harm you. The person who's buried over here cannot harm you. They said no, if you got the tree up, you are going to be finished, you're going to die that's going to destroy you. They said, Okay, let's make a deal. If we cut up the tree and something happens to us, okay, we don't mind. But if we cut up the tree, and nothing happens to us and what you believe is false. They said, Okay, fine. So they made a deal. They made a contract,

00:24:23--> 00:24:59

they even wrote it down. And those group of people they went, and they started breaking up the tree, one branch after the other and they cut up the entire tree. Nothing happened. And people were shocked that this tree we have been worshipping, thinking that it has some supernatural powers and it cannot even harm us. We were making a fool of ourselves. And finally they gave up that belief. Similarly, the Bani Israel had a lot of respect for the cow they reverted. They respected it because for their own and his people, they used to worship idols. So this is why they had false beliefs concerning the cow. So all of those beliefs were finished.

00:25:00--> 00:25:36

Just when they were made to slaughter the cow so this is one benefit that came out of this incident. Another benefit that came out of this incident was that the man who was murdered his cotton was unknown and now has gotten his murder was known. Because when the man was hit with the piece of the cow, he spoke up the name of his murder, and everybody knew who the murderer was. So it resolved a major dispute in the Bani Israel. Thirdly, another lesson another benefit was that the Bani Israel a lot of their beliefs had become weak. Their beliefs regarding the author of their beliefs regarding Allah subhanaw taala regarding anything, which is why they ended up worshipping the cough, and they

00:25:36--> 00:26:14

had very weak belief in the hereafter as well, you know why? Because for their own and his people, they had a very distorted belief concerning afterlife. We all are familiar with what kind of belief Ancient Egyptians had, but he is right also they had a very distorted belief, so to correct their belief that Allah subhanaw taala can bring you back alive again, this incident happened that that man who was dead was brought back to life. Allah subhanaw taala showed them if Allah can bring this man back to life he can bring all of you back to life as well. So this incident served many purposes there were many lessons for the Bani Israel in this incident. Let's listen to the recitation and

00:26:14--> 00:26:16

discuss the lessons that we can learn

00:26:17--> 00:26:18

00:28:33--> 00:29:04

we see that in this incident there were many lessons for the Bani Israel present at that time. However, the Bani Israel person at the time of the Prophet salallahu Salam, why are they being reminded of this incident? What was the benefit for them in this incident? What could they learn? Because the Bani Israel at the time of the Prophet salallahu Salam, their problem was that instead of believing in the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they were asking one question after the other. It was simple the messenger of allah sallallahu sunnah was clear, but they kept on asking him many questions. For example, we learn where they came and asked him about the herbal camp the people of

00:29:04--> 00:29:40

the cave inshallah we will learn about the story in South Africa. Similarly, they came and asked about the first food that the people of Jannah will be served. We also learned that they came and asked that Why does a child resemble his parents? Such question they would ask him that had nothing to do with the truthfulness of the Prophet said a lot is on them or didn't have much to do with that. The signs were very obvious the message was clear. So they're being taught a lesson that don't demand too many details, because it's not a relevance. It's simple. The Messenger has come accept him, then there are many lessons in this incident as well. First of all, we learn that when Allah

00:29:40--> 00:30:00

subhanaw taala gives us a command we should never ever take it lightly. We should never say, are you joking? This must be a joke. How is that possible? I can never do that know, when Allah has given us a command that we should take it seriously. We should accept it seriously. Because even if we don't understand it, remember there is benefit

00:30:00--> 00:30:48

fit for us in it? We don't know but who knows? Allah subhanaw taala knows. Another very important thing that we learned is that mocking of people making fun of them is a smartness. No, what is it? foolishness and we should seek refuge with Allah from doing this. People try to become more sarcastic, and we should be trying not to become like that. Then we also learn that all of mankind, all people are in need of Allah subhanaw taala, including the messengers. Why? Because the Messenger of Allah Musa SNM, what did he say, rude will be He, I seek refuge with Allah that I should be of those who are ignorant. We need Allah for everything, to do certain things to stay away from certain

00:30:48--> 00:31:27

things. He was seeking Allah's help and if he was, this means that we need to even more so. Then we also learn about the pride of Bani Israel and how they continuously asked Musa alayhis salam to go and pray to Allah to go and ask Allah again and again. And the way that they instructed him shows a lot of pride when Allah subhanaw taala has given us a command instead of asking too many questions Why is an ifs and buts What should we do? Samara Anna, what else are not just do it? Listen and obey. Don't ask too many questions because if we ask too many questions first of all, we're delaying doing good. And what does Allah want us to do to be quick in doing good don't delay but be quick was

00:31:27--> 00:32:10

savvy Hakuna Saba Kuhn was Sadhguru a llama Farah, not that we should delay. Allah wants us to be quick and doing good. And secondly, when we ask too many questions, then what are we doing? We're making the matter more complicated for ourselves more and more difficult and challenging for ourselves. Remember that the religion of Allah subhanaw taala the religion that he has given to us is easy. It is simple, meaning we are able to observe it we are able to live by it. The instructions are clear. But if we go into too many details asking too many questions, then we are complicating the religion for ourselves. complicating it to the point that it will be unable for us to follow the

00:32:10--> 00:32:48

religion. It will be unable for us to live by the deen will make it so difficult for ourselves. Can you think of an example in the way people make the religion difficult for themselves? That we should be concerned about food being Halal if it's halal or haram? What if a person goes on asking is maple syrup Hala? Is this halal? Is this halal? Every single thing? Allah subhanaw taala has told us about what is haram and everything else besides that is haram. But if we start counting what is halal on our fingertips, meaning we make only a few things right out in everything haram, we're gonna make the deen very difficult for ourselves. Like, for example, it's understood interest is how long a

00:32:48--> 00:33:27

person says, But what if I need a house? What if I really want a house and it's my desire, and we've never owned one? And if I'm renting, that I'm wasting my money? You know, I should be spending that money to buy a house question after question after question. We have been told that we have to govern ourselves as women. But if a woman asks, how big exactly should my hijab be? Two meters, one meter, one and a half? How big should it be? Similarly, we are to govern our body. So for example, our feet they're also included in the body that has to be covered no versus, do I have to wear socks? And should I be wearing clothes shoes all the time? Aren't you making it more difficult? Just

00:33:27--> 00:34:03

wear long, trousers long skirt long or bias that your feet are covered? Otherwise, you're going to the beach and you're wearing running shoes, asking too many questions and complicating the deen for ourselves and for other people. Exactly asking too many questions and discouraging other people from doing the good that they're doing. So anyway, we have been discouraged from asking too many questions when they are irrelevant. When you have been told to do something, do it. If your mother asks you bring a glass of water and you say, which one do you want? You want the one that we serve the guests? Or do you want the one that my brother drinks from? Or do you want the one that's big or

00:34:03--> 00:34:35

small? The clear one or the plastic one or the green? Or the blue one? You want the one with the purple circles? Or you want the one with the green circles? She asked for a glass of water? That's it simple. Similarly, if somebody comes as a guest, and you ask them, would you like to have something? Would you like to drink something? And if you go and ask them, one teaspoon of sugar, two teaspoons, or would you like milk? Or would you like cream? What would you like? You know what, whenever you have just bring it? How difficult is it to bring an extra teaspoon and to bring a pot of sugar. It's not that challenging, but it has too many questions. You make other people

00:34:35--> 00:34:59

uncomfortable, and you make it difficult for yourselves. Questions that have nothing to do with our actions. Like we cannot implement it. It's not relevant to us. For example, if a person says So when is the gel coming? Which year seminar the person says oh double rock, the animal the creature in which the Prophet said a lot of sudden went for Israel. Is it halal or haram? Can we eat it? You will find one and then we'll see how big was the size

00:35:00--> 00:35:37

is of the ship of new holy Salam while you're gonna write it, what does it have to do with you? We have been discouraged from asking unnecessary questions Allah subhanaw taala dislikes that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Allah subhanaw taala dislikes for you three things. Allah dislikes for you three things feel work all it was said that was said she said he said so and so said, they will call Allah dislikes that. The second thing that Allah dislikes for you, Allah or turn Merle wasting money, wasting wealth, Allah does not like that for you. And thirdly, we're Kathrada

00:35:38--> 00:36:07

because if we ask too many questions, we might get answers and we don't like person came to the Prophet saw a lot of sentiment said, O Messenger of Allah, where's my father, his father had died as an wishek is in paradise or hell Prophet sallallahu sallam said in hellfire, he doesn't wish to take he's an alpha, What has it got to do with us? We should be worried about our own actions about our own fate. So we have been discouraged from asking unnecessary questions, irrelevant questions, because they only make our life difficult. They delay our action.

00:36:08--> 00:36:45

Is it wrong to ask questions? No, it's not wrong at all. You should ask questions, but only those whose answers will actually benefit you. Like, for example, if you want to know about how cells divide, okay, you're sitting in your class, you're not going to be questioned about that in your exam. It's not a part of your course. But you're curious. You want to know, is there any harm in finding that out? No, there is no harm. Why? Because if you learn about that, it will increase in your knowledge, it is of some benefit to you. For example, yesterday we learned about the different types of vegetables, isn't it and I asked you to do some research you might say what does that got

00:36:45--> 00:37:20

to do with my arm has nothing to do with my arm and so I'm not going to but it increases you and your knowledge you learned about the different types of plants that Allah subhanaw taala has created. But if it cannot increase your knowledge, and even if you do find out about it, it's of no relevance to you. There is no point I for example, asking what the Baroque asking about the shape of new Hudson I'm asking what which year the gel will come. We don't need to know this stuff because if it was necessary, Allah and His messenger would have informed us because Allah did not deprive us from any hide anything good, anything beneficial that we needed to know. Allah informed us of it.

00:37:20--> 00:37:59

This is why Allah subhanaw taala revealed an EO Merkmale Tula Candida at month two Aleikum near Mati today I have completed my religion perfected my favor on you what a lead to local Islam, Medina, they did not leave out anything good for us. So everything good was given to us that is of benefit. Anything else? That we should always focus on the lesson the practical part, the part that is relevant to us, like for example, we learned about the mosquito that some people get lost in the mosquito and other people. They just take the benefit. They take the lesson and they move on. This is exactly what we're supposed to do. Get the message do it and move on. Don't get stuck, because if

00:37:59--> 00:38:14

you do this is a trick of Shaitan to keep you away from armor, to delay you from obedience, shall we will conclude over here Subhan Allah whom will be handy Kenisha do Allah Illa illa Anta Mr. Heruka want to be like a Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
