00:00:00 --> 00:00:48
			Let's continue Surah Baqarah I remember 122 to 129 Yeah Bani Israel eel, oh Bani Israel eel oath
Quran Yama t remember my blessing, Allah T and M to Aleikum that which I bestowed upon you were
unlivable to come. And I preferred you, Allah, Allah Allah mean over the people of the world. I
chose you about all of mankind. You were the chosen people. You are the ones who are given a special
neuroma with guru near Mati. Which blessing was it that was given to the Bani Israel. There were
many blessings that were given the blessings of this world as well as the blessings of the deen of
religion. There are many worldly blessings as well as many religious blessings that were given to
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:30
			the Bani Israel. But what was the main blessing? What a Naef of bultaco Allah Allah me that I
preferred you I chose you about the people of the world. So there are the ones who were sent many
prophets to, they were the ones to whom Allah subhanaw taala gave many books to they were the ones
whom Allah subhanaw taala give many worldly blessings. For example, when fit or own had enslaved
them, Allah sent His Prophet in order to rescue them. Allah cause the sea to split so that they
could be safe. Allah sent upon the man and solid so that they wouldn't die in the wilderness. So
Allah bestowed upon them many worldly blessings as well as many religious blessings. Why? Because
		
00:01:30 --> 00:02:12
			they were chosen. Why were they chosen? Because Allah had given them the responsibility to follow
his law, and also tell other people about it, to be obedient servants to Allah, and also make other
people obedient servants to Allah. Because what is our role? What is our responsibility in this
life? What is our purpose that we worship Allah? So Allah chose the Bani Israel in that he guided
them. And he also told them to guide other people. But what happened? Were the grateful for these
blessings. No, they weren't. We have learned in the previous verses how Allah was taught so many
blessings upon them. But each time instead of being obedient, they became even more rebellious.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:51
			Instead of being humble. They kept on demanding more and more things. And they made religion
difficult upon themselves, and they drifted away from the religion as well. And as they drifted
away, many punishments of Allah subhanaw taala came upon them in order to shake them in order to
wake them up. But they weren't realizing they weren't fulfilling their responsibility. So what
happened? Allah subhanaw taala took that blessing away from them. How did Allah take that blessing
away from them, the blessing of being the chosen people, that when he sent his final messenger when
he sent his last Prophet, he didn't send him from among the Bani Israel. Instead, he sent him from
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:31
			among who the bunny is married, from the children from the descendants of its married early salaam,
the son of Ibrahim Ernest, why this was to show that the Bani Israel we're not the only people who
deserve to be guided in this world, because that is what they had thought about themselves, which is
why they kept their religion to themselves. They consider themselves to be very great and they look
down on the rest of mankind. So when Allah sent a prophet for other than Bani Israel, it was very
obvious that that blessing was taken away from them. There was a shift, a shift of what of that huge
blessing. And obviously, the blessing came with responsibility. So over here, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:03:31 --> 00:04:07
			is reminding the Bani Israel. In all of the previous verses, we have read about the several favors
that were bestowed upon them. And now in conclusion, again, Allah is reminding them and when you
were given so many blessings than what is expected of you, that you become righteous servants of
Allah, and you cannot be righteous servants of Allah unless and until you follow the guidance that
Allah has sent. And how can you follow the guidance that Allah has said unless and until you don't
believe in His messenger? So this is another words and invitation to the Bani Israel to do what to
believe in Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. So ocorreu near Mati allottee, anam to aleikum wa only for
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:56
			both to come on. ALEMI and at the same time, Allah subhanaw taala is warning them that what the coup
Yeoman and fear a Day, which day is this? The day when lethargy is enough soon enough since che when
no saw can avail another one no soul can help another letter Dizzy Jeem ze Yeah, just ah Z direct
combat recompense. So no soul can recompense for another meeting no soul can assist another can help
another. lethargy is enough soon enough. cinci notice the word che and what to say and mean thing.
Anything. And notice the two for 13 at the end, not Killa anything at all. On the Day of Judgment,
you are on your own. Why is Allah subhanaw taala saying this to them? Because of any Israel What did
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			they think that they were the chosen people, their parents were
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:37
			be righteous, their ancestors were the prophets of Allah, their ancestors, Allah was very happy with
them. And therefore no matter what they do, Allah will forgive them. That is what they believed
about themselves. But Allah is telling them that on the Day of Judgment, no person can help you.
It's just because your ancestors were righteous, it doesn't mean that you will not be held
accountable for the crimes that you have committed. What is the belief that is very common amongst
us Muslims as well? That yeah, my mother, she used to wear the hijab, so I don't need to do it. My
parents give charity. So I don't, my parent, my mother reads the Quran. Yeah, that's enough. I don't
		
00:05:37 --> 00:06:17
			have to know what your mother does is for her, and what you do is for you, so just because your
parents were righteous, just because your ancestors were good people, it doesn't mean that you will
naturally be a good person as well. Not necessarily. This is just like if a person is a doctor and
they have a child is a child can be a doctor as well. Is he going to be a born doctor? Can they have
all knowledge of medicine and everything in their minds from the day they're born? No. If they want
to become a doctor, then what do they have to do? They have to study everything as well. What their
parents studied is for them, and what they do is for themselves, similarly, when it comes to the
		
00:06:17 --> 00:07:09
			dean, the actions of our parents are for them, and our actions are for us. So this is why lethargy
is enough, soon enough, cinci no person will help another on that Day no person can assist another
can avail another on the Day of Judgment. In the Quran, we learn here a Yohannes Itakura Bahco work
show yo mama, and fear a Day. Which day layer does he Well, he don't unwell a day, the day when no
father can help his child. When no father, no parent can avail his child when mo Luden, who are just
in unworthy he shall, nor can a child avail his parents No. Parents cannot avail their children and
children cannot avail their parents on the day of judgment, but rather each person is on his own. So
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:20
			before that day comes, do something to better yourself, do something to improve yourself, prepare
something to save yourself on that day, because lethargy is enough sooner nevsun che
		
00:07:21 --> 00:08:07
			when are you Kuba Lu and it will not be accepted off balance, it will not be accepted minha from it
meaning from any soul from any person, what I had to learn what does idle mean? Is from Pindar lamb.
And the word idle is used in different ways. One of the meanings of the word idle is justice.
Another meaning of the word idle is equivalent, meaning something that is equal to another. So from
any person, on the Day of Judgment, no argue will be accepted, meaning no compensation will be
accepted. In other words, if a person is to be punished for his crimes, then on that day, a person
cannot say, take whatever wealth from me Oh, Allah, take whatever money from me, oh Allah and free
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:53
			me. Like, for example, in this world, if there is a person who has committed a great crime, and
let's say the crime is of a very severe degree, it's very, very severe. For instance, if there is a
bail for them, then how much will the bail be 1000s of dollars, hundreds and 1000s. Why? Because the
crime was very great. So the bail money is going to be equal to the person. Similarly, if a person
has committed a crime, which is not really that serious, it's only a minor offense. So how much will
their bill money be? It will be very less, why? Because the crime is not that great. So, what is the
other the compensation that a person will have to pay that a person has to pay in order to ransom
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:41
			himself in order to free himself, and that compensation is always equal to what? It is always equal
to the person. Obviously, you can never by a human being but equal to their crimes. No compensation
will be taken from any person. In other words, on the Day of Judgment, no person can say, Yeah,
Allah, I'll give you everything I have. Just don't send me to hellfire. No, no person can claim that
even the most richest of human beings even fit our own and karoun and her man, even they cannot say
that oh, Allah take all of our wealth and free us. Why not? Because all of the wealth already
belongs to Allah. What we have in this world is temporarily with us. So if you give it to Allah to
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:59
			free yourself, it doesn't make sense because you and whatever you have belongs to who Allah. Why
else will compensation not be accepted on the Day of Judgment, no matter how great it is, on the Day
of Judgment, your wealth does not matter anything. The only currency that works on the Day of
Judgment is what
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			Your deeds, your actions, we were sent in this world not to make money, because on the Day of
Judgment, money is not going to matter what's going to matter, good deeds. So even if a person gives
the entire Earth fill of gold, imagine the entire Earth will have gold as ransom, will it be
accepted? Not at all. One more reason why it will not be accepted. When we die, we're not taking
anything with us. When a person goes into his grave, what does he take with him? Nothing. The only
thing that accompanies him is what the shroud in which he is wrapped up. That is all that he takes
with himself. And those people who do take a lot of their wealth with them, like for example, the
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:25
			pharaohs, what was buried along with them a lot of their wealth as well. But what happens to that
wealth, it stays behind, and people go and find it, and they come and they steal it, and the Senate
for 1000s of dollars. And the thing is, that when the day of judgment is established, then what of
this world is going to remain? Nothing we learn in the Quran, either curtail conduct, when the earth
is founded and crushed. Where will all your crystals go? Where will all your delicate jewelry go?
Where will all your money go? Is there to cuddle up to the conductor when it's pounded and crushed,
everything's going to be finished. So you can't take anything along with you on the Day of Judgment,
		
00:11:26 --> 00:12:13
			everything is going to remain behind. So when I woke up into Manhattan on on the Day of Judgment,
nothing is going to work except for your deeds. To if you want to be rich on that day, then what do
you have to take with you? Good deeds, because good deeds will make a person wealthy on that day.
It's not the money that a person has collected in this world. Well, I Jacoba Lumina are the loan
Well, I can follow Hashkafa and no intercession will benefit a person. Let them follow her known
fair I never What does enough for me benefit. So let them follow her no person will benefit from
what shafa shafa intercession Chien fair rain chef ah, it's the opposite of with a chef very well
		
00:12:13 --> 00:13:00
			what what is with mean, what kind of numbers are they odd? With when you pray so little with? How
many do you pray either one or three or five or seven or nine. So, Scheffer is what even and what
happens in shefa intercession is that one person is alone, another joins him. So the one who was odd
becomes even. So when the other joins him, what does he do? He advocates for him, he requests for
him, he pleads for him. For instance, a person has a loan, they have to handle a case. So what
happens? They get a lawyer and what does the lawyer do? He supports them. And he presents their case
and he fights for them. He pleads for them. He intercedes for them. So well Latin for Hashkafa. On
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:39
			the Day of Judgment, no shofar is going to benefit a person. What does it mean by this meaning no
person can intercede for another unless and until Allah allows. We learned from the Quran and
Sunnah, that there will certainly be Shiva on the Day of Judgment, there will be intercession,
intercession will take place, however, everyone will not be allowed to do it. And it will not be
accepted for everyone. It will only be accepted for who the one whom Allah wants, well, and Pharaoh
Ha, Shiva. So at the end of the day, a person is at the mercy of Allah on the day of judgment,
without whom you'll saloon and nor will they be helped, they will not be helped, meaning no one is
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:48
			going to come and save them from the punishment of Allah know, if a person is guilty that day, then
they will be held responsible. Well, Holmium Sologne.
		
00:13:49 --> 00:14:28
			What did we learn from these verses? One of the first lessons that we learned from these verses is,
a person does not value the blessing that Allah has given to him, then a time will come when Allah
will take away that blessing away from him. Look at the mercy of Allah, Allah is remind them again,
giving them another chance. Remember the blessing, be grateful, fear the Day of Judgment and do
something for yourself, it's never too late. We also learn from these verses that on the Day of
Judgment, a person will be on his own. No parents can help him no children can help him, no friends
can help him. No intercessors can help him no wealth can help him help can come only from who Allah
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:33
			and a person can only deserve that if he has done something to prepare for that.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:48
			That's listen to the recitation Yeah. Then he is all go near materiality and non duality
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			need from ball to Kumar?
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			What telco
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			charges enough so none
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:02
			She
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			fell harsh
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:59
			Allah subhanaw taala also shows to us in this world, that how when a person is held responsible by
others, is declared as guilty by others, then no compensation is accepted from him, no punishment is
reduced for him, no one else can come in their place and say, You go, I will suffer for you. Nothing
can benefit a person, even in this world, he is held responsible for his crime and only he is to
suffer for his crime. No one can come and take his place. Imagine what will happen on the Day of
Judgment. If in this world, Allah shows to us that how people who have a lot of power, who have
committed a lot of injustice when they are caught, even in this world, and when they are held
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:30
			responsible, what happens to them? On one day, they were in fallacies, and the other day, they're in
jails, serving life sentences, even in this world. And nobody can come and take their place in this
as a great liberal for us a great lesson for us that what will happen to us on the Day of Judgment,
the crimes and we have committed against Allah who will come in our favor on the Day of Judgment
saying that Allah Allah let him go, I will suffer in his place. Does anyone love us to that extent
from the people of the world? What do we have to show on the Day of Judgment? If we haven't
prepared?
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:15
			We learned yesterday about the importance of Tila, how much reward a person gets when he recites the
Quran? But if a person does not recite, then what will he come up with on the Day of Judgment,
limited good deeds, and if he has more crimes, more sins, then what will his end be? This is why
Allah is warning us what taco Yeoman fear that day, when you will be alone and no one is going to
come and rescue you. We learned in the Quran Well, eco Linda Rajat may may or may look for each
person or ranks in the hereafter according to their actions. If a person has done a lot of good
deeds, then yes, his rank will be higher. And if a person has done average, then his rank will be
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:30
			average and if a person has done very minimum, then his rank will be very minimum. And if a person
has done very few good deeds and more crimes than what will happen, he will not be in the Rajah he
will be in the Roccat in the low levels of hellfire. May Allah save us from that humiliation on that
day.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:18:07
			Let's continue. What EBITA Ibrahim are boo boo Kalimantan, Tama home and remember when the Lord of
Ibrahim dusted him with what with some kalimat So Ibrahim for attend Muhammad he completed them, he
fulfilled them. In the following verses we will learn about Ibrahim or the Sunnah. Who is it for
humor and is sunnah he was a father off bunu is marine and burner is Ravi. So blue is mareel The
Arabs and blue Israel, the Yehuda NESARA they are the descendants of Abu Ibrahim or
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:55
			you can also call Ibrahim on Islam, I will be the father of the prophets. Why? Because after him,
all of the prophets came from his progeny came from his descendants from Izmir Ealer to sound
smarter listen to himself and after him. Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam from his helicopter salaam, his
son, your coop and from him the 12 sons amongst them was use of renesola and from their descendants
who came Musa al Salaam. Harun Alison andother listen, I'm still a man or listen I'm Risa listen,
I'm Zaccaria you're here. So many prophets came from who the progeny of is her criticism. So if you
go back up, who's at the top Ibrahim Renison Abu Ambia he was a father of the prophets.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:25
			He was also Helene Allah, the friend of Allah. How nice. The Friend of Allah. In this world people
take a lot of pride in being friends of certain people. I am friends with so and so. I'm friends
with so and so. But Ibrahim Hassan was allele of Allah. Allah befriended him with Dakota low
Ibrahima kalila. Allah made Ibrahim his friend. Why? Because of the obedience of Ibrahim.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:59
			Ibrahim in Islam is mentioned about 25 times in the Quran. He was from Iraq. That's where he was
born. That's where he was originally from. And then what happened? He settled one of his children
were in Makkah in hijas and his other child were in Palestine. So his progeny was not in Iraq.
Rather his descendants grew were in hijas, as well as in Palestine. Ibrahim Hassan was born in 2100
BC 2160 BC, so he came around 2000 years ago.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:54
			For who are you? Sardis Allah. And he came how many 1000s of years before us 2000 ad. So go back
2000 And then 2000 More 4000 years before us. Just imagine how ancient how long time ago he came,
but because he was so obedient to Allah, Allah mentions him in the Quran so that he is remembered
until this Quran is here. This is how much Allah liked him because of his obedience. People try to
gain fame by disobeying Allah, what's the correct way? By obeying Allah? There's a huge contrast
between the way of Ibrahim Al Islam and the way of Bani Israel. The bunny is right you were the
chosen by Allah? Yes. Ibrahim. Hassan, was he chosen by Allah? Yes. What was the way of Bani Israel?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:44
			Were the obedient? Did they fulfill their responsibility? No, Ibrahim and Islam on the other hand,
one person? did he fulfill his responsibility? Yes, he did. Did he obey the commands of Allah? Yes,
he did. Just imagine an entire nation on one hand and one person one human being on the other. An
entire nation could not achieve what one person achieved. An entire nation could not together please
Allah the way one person pleased Allah earned that Allah the happiness or pleasure the approval of
Allah by His efforts. Who is this one person? What is his special quality? Why is it that Allah
liked him so much? Let's read about him. Let's read what Allah subhanaw taala tells us about him.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:22:31
			What EBITA Allah Ibrahim? And when he tested Ibrahim EBITA, Allah Balam. Well, EB Tila is to test
someone in order to see how they are in order to check what their level is of their strength of
their obedience of their sincerity. So it is if it is to test someone, how do you test someone by
putting them in a difficult situation? You can't say that any test is easy. Every test is difficult,
in one way or the other. For example, the tests that you have to take the translation test, how are
you put in difficulty that you're not allowed to open up your juice, you have to write everything
down from memory. Some words are given out of context, and you have to tell us what their meaning
		
00:22:31 --> 00:23:17
			is, isn't a difficulty. And then you're made to sit by yourself all alone, quiet, you're not allowed
to look here and there. You're not allowed to talk. You're just supposed to focus on your test how
difficult that is. It's not that difficult compared to the tests that Ibrahim or dissident had to go
through. So what Ed batalla Ibrahim, when he tested Ibrahim or de Sena, and the word Ibrahim is also
read as in Arabic, Abraham, Ibrahim as well as Abraham. So what Ed batalla Ibrahima who tested him,
Rob whoo hoo, his Lord, his Lord is the one who tested him. You may say why? Because the Lord can do
whatever he wants, because we belong to Him. Him we confirm, and to Him, we go back. So he can do
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:55
			whatever he wants. And obviously whatever he does is fair. And just and it has some wisdom, some
reason behind it. So what EBIT Allah, Ibrahima boo, and how did the Lord of Ibrahim How did Allah
subhanaw taala test Ibrahim? Be kalimat in with certain words, polymath is a floor left Kalama and
Kenema Qalam speech galima statement word kalimat words? What does it mean by these words? What are
these words that Allah tested Ibrahim right Islam with these words it refers to the commands of
Allah? What does it refer to the commands of Allah kalimat meaning
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:41
			the orders that Allah gave to Ibrahim Edison, remember that any icon that Allah gives to a person
are of two types, first of all, Kony, and secondly, shutter Garni, meaning whatever Allah decides
decrees for a servant, whatever Allah commands that such and such should happen with his servant,
for example, with regards to us, Allah decided Allah commanded us to when we were to be born, when
we were to be to go to school, how our body is to be how our memory our abilities are to be, whose
decision is it? It's the decision of Allah, whatever happens in our life, good, bad, difficult,
something that is difficult, something that is very easy, happiness, sadness, all of this is a
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:59
			decree of who Allah subhanaw taala who we befriend who harms us all of this is a decree of Allah. So
first of all, I can county secondly, I can shatter meaning the legal commands of the religion that
Allah gives to a person
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:39
			For example, we have to pray five times a day. Allah has given us certain commands which are
shattered. So Ibrahim escena, Allah tested him through Kalama through the commands that he gave him.
What were these commands? County as well as Shari Karney. What was some of the things that were
decreed for Ibrahim Al Islam and that were a great test for him? Where was he born in what kind of a
society in what kind of a family? What was his father? What was his religion? He was an idol
worshiper. And when Ibrahima Lisanna called the people very nicely to the worship of Allah, how did
his father treat him? He said, You be quiet you leave otherwise, I'm going to stone you to death.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:26:23
			Imagine a father says that to his son, you leave otherwise, if you stay here, I'm going to kill you
and I'm not going to kill you easily. I'm going to stone you to death. Imagine hearing such words
from your own father. Isn't this something very difficult to bear? Yes, it is. So this was a huge,
desperate Ibrahim or an Asana that, how would he react at that time? And how did he react? Was he
abusive towards his father in return? No. He said, Salam on our lake Peace be on you. And he left
his father and his people. What did they do? They collected wood, in order to light a huge fire in
order to throw Ibrahim realism into it in order to kill him in order to burn him alive. And they did
		
00:26:23 --> 00:27:07
			it they threw him into the fire. Imagine your own father is bringing firewood to live fire in order
to burn you. Just imagine if our parents scold us a little bit, we feel that they don't like us just
a little bit. And that's because of our own assumptions. Sometimes. Not always. But sometimes. So if
we feel like that we feel that we are so unfortunate people we are the most miserable people in this
entire planet. But look at Ibrahim Al Islam, his father abused him verbally, physically. But what
was the reaction of Ibrahim medicina he remained patient. He was not harsh towards his father. He
said Peace be on you and he left. And when the people threw him into the fire, Allah commanded the
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:59
			fire to be cool. Yeah, now will Cooney Bowden wa salam ala Ibrahim, Ibrahim Edison did not suffer
because of that. So whatever commonly commands were decreed for Ibrahim Ernest Sinha, he fulfilled
them. He accepted them. He did not say Oh Allah, why me? Oh Allah, why this, he accepted the decree
of Allah. This is why Allah says per term Mahana what is a term Mahayana mean? It is from Imam Tammy
me, it is to completely fulfill something so that nothing of it is left out, to do 100% To give
100%. So for a tan Mahana he accepted he fulfilled every command that Allah gave him. Any decision
Allah decreed for him? What was the reaction of Ibrahim Ali salaam acceptance and submission? What
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:38
			were some of the shuttering commands that Allah tested Ibrahim Edison on with? First of all, he was
made responsible to convey the message to the people. Just imagine you are the only one who is
different from the rest of the society. And you haven't been told to keep what you believe to
yourself, but you're supposed to tell other people about it. Isn't that a huge challenge? How do you
feel when you go out? And you come across people who are not that accepting of Islam, they're a
little hostile. How do you feel over there, you feel like running away, you feel like hiding in a
corner. It just be like being quiet. But Ibrahim Ali salaam he was tested, he had to convey the
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:55
			message. He had to talk to other people, even though he knew that the people were going to be very
hostile towards him shutter a command that was very difficult. Similarly, we learned that Ibrahim
medicina what was he told by Allah that he had to leave his son were in the desert.
		
00:28:57 --> 00:29:39
			Ibrahim Al Islam, first of all, was very, very old when he had his son is married. It was very old.
And he was also very old when he had is how can you sir, imagine you have a son? A little child, a
little baby, and you're told to leave the child with the mother were in the middle of the desert.
And this was the Command of Allah. What did Ibrahim Al Salam do? Did he say no? To difficult? I love
my son. How can he survive over here? He knew that if the command is coming from Allah, Allah will
not abandon my child. So he accepted and he fulfilled than Allah commanded him when it's murder, his
time was older. 13 years old, Allah said, slaughter him. Can you imagine killing your own child with
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:59
			your own hands slaughtering your son. But Ibrahim Hassan knew that if the command is coming from
Allah, there must be some wisdom. So he went on to offer his son but what happened as soon as he was
about to Allah subhanaw taala removed is murdered Islam from there and he was replaced by a sheep.
So Ibrahima Islam slaughtered a sheep instead of a son. And Allah said at
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:41
			South Dakota? Yes, indeed you have fulfilled you have fulfilled it. You have fulfilled the dream
that you saw me the command that you were given. So he was being tested that would you obey Allah to
this extent. And Ibrahim or the Sunnah obeyed Allah even to that extent. So what Ebert Allah Ibrahim
or boo hoo be Kalimantan? What was the reaction of Ibrahim Anna Salah ferrata Mahana, he completed
them, he perfected he fulfilled every single one of them. I want you to think about yourself, there
may be many things may things that have been decreed in your life by Allah. And they may be very
difficult, a difficult husband, difficult children, difficult situation in life, poverty, or no
		
00:30:41 --> 00:31:22
			education, or whatever it may be, that you're alone. A person is not married, or they are married,
but they don't have children. And that is a problem for them or they have children and that is a
problem for them. Whatever the situation may be, I want you to realize, that is a decision of who
Allah subhanaw taala it is the decision of Allah for you. And whatever Allah decides, remember,
there is some wisdom, some reason behind that. And a person has to trust Allah for that. You have to
trust Allah. You have to say, Oh Allah, I know that there is some reason why you decreed this for
me. There is some benefit in it, some wisdom in it, I don't know. But there is I trust in You, and I
		
00:31:22 --> 00:32:03
			accept it. And when you accept it, Allah will recommend to you He will reward you abundantly. Allah
does not let go any difficulty, waste, a difficulty that a person suffers and he is patient over it.
Allah does not let that go waste. We learned from a hadith that the Prophet salallahu Salam
addressed some women and he told them that there is none of you who has lost three children, except
those children will become a barrier for her from the Hellfire on the Day of Judgment. So if a woman
loses three children, then what will happen to her those three children who have died, they will
become a screen a barrier for her from going into hellfire. A woman asked What about two children of
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:44
			Arkansas and said same thing, even to children, if you have lost the meaning they have died and you
are alive, then those children will prevent you from entering hellfire. Why? Because of the patients
that you have endured because the difficulty that you have suffered. So any difficulty that a person
goes through and he or she is patient over it. Allah provides him abundantly, any difficulty even if
it's the prick of a thorn, even if it's a pin poking you, even if it's feeling hungry or feeling
body ache all over whatever it may be. Allah decreed it, you accept it, and there will be reward on
the Day of Judgment. When people will see the reward of those people who suffered difficulty and
		
00:32:44 --> 00:33:31
			they were patient, they will wish that they had also suffered difficulty. So patience, never ever
goes waste. Ibrahim right as Sam he accepted the commands of Allah the decrees of Allah, whatever
commands whatever Allah decreed for him for uttama Hoonah and look at the rewards that Allah gave
him. Or that he said Allah said in the indeed I jar in LUCA, I am wanting to make you meaning I am
going to make you Ibrahim le NASCI for all mankind Imam and a leader in this world, even with Imam
Hamza Mi Mi Imam is the one who is followed. The leader, the one whom you follow, whose example you
follow, for example, in Salah and Salah there is an imam right? So what do you do with that email?
		
00:33:31 --> 00:34:02
			You follow him when the Imam says Allahu Akbar, you say Allahu Akbar, when he goes down and record
you go down and record even if you haven't completed your surah you are supposed to follow the Imam.
So Allah to Ibrahim that in the Jerry locally nursing II Mama, I'm going to make you a leader, not a
leader for some people. But for who? Lin NAS. This is the reward that Allah gave to Ibrahima. Listen
up for his obedience for his submission for his acceptance color into Jerry Lucanus email.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:42
			And this is very true. Allah did make Ibrahim or Sam the leader for all people. We see that Ibrahim
Arliss and I'm from his descendants game who the bunny is married and Bani Israel to the Bani
Israel. Who did they look up to Ibrahim and Asana? They always looked up to him. The bunny is
married on the other hand, who came from among them which Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and
what was said to Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam in the Quran in surah Nahal Iowan 23 We learn some Hanaa
ileka A Nick De Vere Mila Ibrahima Hanifa. Warmer can Amin and wish they can and then we have
revealed to you that you must follow the Creed the way the example of Ibrahim he was not of those
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:59
			who worship other than Allah. Imagine if Hamid Rasul if the seal of the Prophets the last messenger
is commanded to follow Ibrahim renesola then Ibrahim Al Salam is the imam for who all of mankind,
because all of us are to follow who Muhammad Sallallahu sallam. So who is our
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:46
			Imam Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam as well as Ibrahim Hassan. Ibrahim Arneson. Cada he said women's
reality and also from my children zariya. The Riga is from the real letters. There are well, there
are many other letters for this as well. There Laura Dallara, Hamza and the rest of spring children,
meaning your descendants. It doesn't mean your immediate children but even your grandchildren and
their children and their grandchildren. So whoever comes from on your descendants after you is who
you're the Ria. So Ibrahim, Hassan, he prayed to Allah that Oh ALLAH also make my children the Imam.
Why did he say that? Because whatever you like for yourself, you also want it for who? For your
		
00:35:46 --> 00:36:30
			children. And this shows that a person loves that thing. Because whatever you love for yourself,
whatever you want for your children, it shows that you really really like it. Because you would not
like anything for your children except something that is good. Something that you really love. What
did Allah say, Carla? He said, la Jana Lu, it does not reach the My covenant to a volley mean those
people who do wrong Jana Lewis from the real letters known yella nail and nail is to attain
something to reach Solarian Allah de my covenant, my promise it does not reach, meaning it is not
for who a volley mean those people who commit injustice. So those were unjust, they will not be made
		
00:36:30 --> 00:37:16
			leaders. They will not be made leaders by Allah, those who are unjust volley mean, tell me what is
the greatest injustice that a person ascribes partners to Allah when Allah has no partners? And
injustice is not against Allah, but it is also against mankind, that when people are deprived of
their rights, and when people are harmed when they're abused when they're treated unfairly. What did
we learn in this verse? We learned many lessons. First of all, we learn that Allah dusts His
servants. Allah definitely tests his servants. If a lot Asad Ibrahim Al Islam, his Helene Ebola
Ambia, you think you will not test us? Who are we compared to Ibrahim renessa? What is our level
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:57
			compared to that of Ibrahim or the Sunnah? Very low. If Allah will test Ibrahim, then tell me who
are you and I? Will we not be tested? Of course, we will be tested. Because this is the purpose of
life. Allah tells us, Leah beluga calm a ucommerce Anwar Mullah Ibrahim Al Islam was tested through
county commands as well as shutter e commands, we too will be tested in the same way county as well
as Saturday, there will be some religious commands that we will find very difficult to do. But you
know what we have to do them, even if it's very difficult, even if it's very challenging, and it is
challenging, because it's a test. If life was free of challenges, if it was free of difficulties,
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:25
			how would life be dull, boring, because your challenges your difficulties? What do they do? They
make you think they make you active, they make you alert, they make you useful. People who do have
difficulties in life, then what happens with them, they become more productive, more beneficial,
more active. And you will see that even in the community, people who are very active, they have
always suffered something or the other.
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:29
			They have always endured some difficulty.
		
00:38:30 --> 00:39:14
			I was learning about this couple somewhere in South America, how their daughter was kidnapped. And
they don't know who kidnapped her. And they have been looking for her since years and years. It's
been over a decade. And reports you know, have come to them saying that their daughter was kidnapped
by people who sell women into prostitution. And some people decided that they had seen their
daughter, these two people, the parents in order to find their daughter, they have ended up helping
so many women, so many women out of prostitution, they have found many such places and they have
found many such women. And so many women have been freed because they are looking for their
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:54
			daughter. And now their goal is not just to find their daughter, but it is to save all such women
who are kidnapped and forced into such things. So who becomes very active, a person who has suffered
some difficulty if their daughter was not kidnapped, you think they will do all of this work? Never
because it's so dangerous. It's so risky. It's so time consuming. Nobody would bother to do it. So
difficulties what are they a blessing in disguise. Every single difficulty remember that? No
difficulty is exempt from this. Even if a person suffers difficulty because of his own sins. Even
that is a blessing. Why because a person realizes I did something wrong and you can repent and you
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:59
			can seek forgiveness from Allah. So Allah tests the servants and there is a reason behind that.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:41
			If Ibrahim was tested, we will be tested. Then we also learn in this verse that the one who fulfills
what Allah has decreed for him, then such a person will be given authority, a highest status in this
world as well as in the hereafter. Such a person will be made an Imam, the one who accepts the
commands of Allah, the decrees of Allah, what kind of Imam, that he will become like an example for
other people. And such a person will be given higher status in the hereafter as well because it will
be made Imam. And this is true not just in the case of Ibrahim realism, but in the case of every
single person, for example, a Buddha to Lima who are new, he suffered a lot of difficulty when he
		
00:40:41 --> 00:41:18
			accepted Islam. When he came to Medina, when he was in Medina, he didn't have any work. He didn't
have any family. You have no work, no source of income, no family, than what is your state you are
dependent on other people, you are dependent on them to give you food to take care of you to cover
your expenses. But what if you find no one to take care of you? Then where would you end up? A boy
who died I don't know where he would live in the masjid. And you know what he would do? He busied
himself in learning the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in learning the Dean from the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam and the sahaba. Just because he didn't have a job just because he didn't
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:38
			have a family. It didn't mean that he couldn't be productive. He accepted that situation. And he
made himself useful and beneficial. And what happened then, a boy who died a little or no, he's like
a leader, a leader, in what sense when it comes to all of the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam, who has narrated the most up or whatever.
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:54
			Just imagine he is the one who has narrated so many a hadith. And we also ended up a hora de la er
and who he used to work for a woman in order to, you know, make money, just a little bit just to get
by. And you know, what happened? That woman, married ovaherero.
		
00:41:55 --> 00:42:30
			Just imagine. So Allah did give him a high status even in this world, he wasn't deprived. So
remember, whenever you accept any situation that Allah has decreed for you in this life, when you
accept it, then you know what's going to happen. You're going to excel, you're going to go forward
in life. And if you don't accept it, then you're going to go behind, you're going to keep falling,
you're going to keep fighting until you accept you cannot get up. You cannot get up until and unless
you accept whatever Allah has decreed for you. And when a person does accept, that he will excel he
will be made a leader.
		
00:42:31 --> 00:43:09
			Then we also learn in this ayah that whenever a person receives something good, he should always
like that for who for his children. Ibrahim read his sunnah when he was given the good news by Allah
in Niger Iluka NASA Eema. He asked for the same thing for his children. And we learned elsewhere as
well. That incident Ibrahim I afforded that Ibrahima. Listen I'm a door to a lot of Bucha, Lima Pima
Salatin, woman, the reality that Oh my Lord, make me of those who established the prayer and also
from on my children, those who established why is it necessary to ask for good things for your
children, to spoil them? And they do nothing good in life? No. Why should you ask Allah for good
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:47
			things for your children, because your children will be a source of reward for you in the hereafter.
When in the Hereafter, you ask for something good for them and they do good that good will be
written for them and it will also be written for you a person might say well I don't have any
children. So why should I make the store for example arbitrarily mochi masala documentary? Why
should a person make the store made too often? No. You never know two years from now five years from
now, you will have kids and because of you do ask today Allah will accept them. I remember somebody
telling me that they asked their father once was also their teacher. That this route will be
		
00:43:47 --> 00:44:27
			Jeronimo chemo Salah to women to reality why should it make the so I don't even have any children.
He said make it inshallah you will have and because of your daughter today, they will pray
inshallah. Make dua for who for your children. Why? Because whatever good they do is going to
benefit you as well. We also learned in this verse that those people who are unjust, they don't
deserve leadership. They don't deserve authority, because Allah says lejana do our deal Solomon
Salimi, who those people who are unjust, this is why we see the turn of the scholars they said that
Allah will let a person rule others even though he may be a disbeliever. But if a person becomes
		
00:44:27 --> 00:44:41
			unjust than Allah will take that power away from him. If a person becomes unjust, oppressive, that
he harms others, then what will happen Allah will take away that authority that leadership away from
him, because lionello rd
		
00:44:43 --> 00:44:44
			will listen to the recitation
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:46
			well, even better
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:49
			you know
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:57
