Taleem al Quran 2012 – P03 034E Tafsir Al-Baqarah 255

If you're an animal, he knows,

what does he know? Mer Boehner ad him when they're called for home, whatever that is before them. And whatever that is after them.

You're an animal. And their aim is knowledge. It is to perceive something correctly, is to perceive something definitely and correctly, exactly as it is.

So Yamama Boehner ad Him will not hold for him or him is to perceive something correctly as it is. And also, definitely meaning free of doubt, and free of ignorance. That is what LM is. So Allah knows about everything.

And his knowledge is such that it's free of doubt. And it's free of any ignorance, meaning every detail, the most minut detail, he knows about it. Yeah, Allahu Anhu. What is it that he knows man Boehner, ad him, Boehner ad him is that which is in front of someone's hands, between someone's hands. And by extension, this expression in the Arabic language means in front of or before, what is in front of you before you could be in front of you in place, and also in time, it could be before you in place and also in time. So for example, I'm here what is before me, you guys, I am here at 12 o'clock, what is going to happen at one o'clock, what is going to happen at two o'clock in time in

the future. So Allah knows exactly what is before me in place. And what is ahead of me in time.

What is ahead of me in time, and not just the future, but also when the hunt for home and what is behind them. Honnef is behind in the rare off from their old letters. Hi lanpher. And this is also in two ways in place and also in time.

So I'm standing here I am facing you. I don't know who's behind me. I don't know who's on the other side of the wall. I have no idea I can't see. Who can see who knows who here is who watches. Allah.

You're sitting in front of me. I don't know what is immediately in front of you. Is it your cell phone? Or is it your pen? Or is it your iPad or something else? I don't know. You're sitting in the class right now you don't know who's behind you thinking What about you? You don't know? Who knows? Allah knows Yara Allah mama Boehner ad him warmer hunt for home? What happened yesterday? Can you tell me the exact account of what happened throughout your day? From morning until night? You can't? You might have forgotten some details. We forget what happened a week ago, a day ago, a year ago. People who we have grown up with but we didn't see them for years. And now we cannot even recall

their names. We have no idea about who they are, what their names are. We look at them. And we say your face is familiar. But I'm sorry, I don't remember your name. Can you tell me about yourself? Who are you? I think I know you. So who knows about everything yanapuma Boehner ad him 100 for home. He knows the future and the past. And he knows about anything that's present that's taking place at any location, whether it's in the depths of the sea, or it is on the surface of the earth or it is up in the skies, deep in a mountain, no matter where no matter what, no matter how big no matter how small, who knows. Allah knows, every detail, every minut thing, every small and big thing. Every

leaf that fall Do you know now it's fall, it's autumn, and you see leaves falling. Remember that verse which tells us that not a leaf falls except that he knows about it except that it's in a clear record.

You have no idea but where these leaves will go, where they'll be blown by the wind into somebody's backyard or the end of the street or some other block or what you have no idea where it's going to go but who knows. Allah knows the origin and the final destination of everything. what course of action it takes what passage it takes everything Allah knows. This is his knowledge. This is his URL, that is coming that is share mill that is complete and there is inclusive of everything, it includes everything, nothing is excluded from the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala

and that means even you and I are not excluded. All of our details he knows.

You know from some people we can hide. What can we hide our true identity? We can hide from them our feelings, we can hide from them, our past actions, we can hide from them our actual reputation we can hide, but can we hide anything from it?

Allah nothing at all.

We can try to take precaution against what danger might befall us What harm may befall us in the future, but who knows about whether or not it will happen? Only Allah so when he knows only He can protect. This is the lesson when he knows only He can protect, when he knows he will hold accountable.

When he knows he will question when he knows, only he can benefit and he can harm.

The ultimate authority with regards to everything in any one is with who? Allah azza wa jal Yara lemma Boehner add him when I call for home when Allah says well are you hate owner and they cannot encompass how well thought hopper to encompass to surround something the people the creation they cannot encompass men around me he from his knowledge in Allah be Masha except that which He wills meaning only what Allah wants people to know. Only that they can come to know if Allah wants that people should not find out about something they can never ever find out no matter how much they try. Whenever you feel gonna be che in mineral me he Ellerbee my shirt and earn me he has knowledge is

understood as two things First of all, knowledge of Him meaning knowledge about Allah.

People try to figure out who is Allah? Where was he? How did he come into existence? Was there ever a time when Allah was not there? Sometimes these questions come to your mind that okay, we are here now there was a time when we were nothing and only Allah was there. But then where did you come from?

These questions come to your head right? As children at least, or maybe other people will ask you, or perhaps people who don't believe in God, they ask you questions, and you have no answers for them. This is why when such questions come What should we say our Ministry of Energy because this is just shameful. Because the fact is that we cannot have knowledge about Allah except that knowledge which Allah has given to us.

So for example, we know that Allah has a hand, but can you start describing that hand? No. Because Allah has not told you about the attributes of his hand but the details of his hands he hasn't all that he's told us is that he has hands. So well. Are you here gonna be shaman or me? Ellerbee? Masha, so what does it mean? That whatever Allah has told us about him, we should accept it as it is. We should not try to delve too much into it because we're gonna get nowhere. We're gonna get nowhere. Whatever Allah wanted to tell us about himself, he has told us and we cannot find out about him. More than that, when are you gonna be che him or me, Illa, finisher. So accept and believe in

him, as he has told us off. You want to see Allah wait for the day of judgment. You want to hear Allah, wait for the day of judgment, prepare for that day. And if you strive you prepare for that day, then Inshallah, time will come. When you will see Allah, you will hear Allah, and then you will be happy and you will be satisfied.

in Jannah, people will be taken to see Allah. And every time they return after seeing Allah, they will look even more beautiful, they will look even more pretty more handsome. But that's only in the hereafter it cannot be in this world. So right now you have to believe in whatever he's telling you, and strive towards him.

Secondly, Earl me, he over here means his knowledge, meaning the knowledge that is in his possession? What is the knowledge that is in his possession of everything? So, as human beings, what can we discover? What can we know? What can we understand? What is it only as much as Allah wants us to know? Only as much as Allah wants us to understand? Not more than that. So even if we spend years and years trying to figure out if there's life in outer space, how much can we know only as much as Allah wants us to know, because people think that all you know now, the scientists these astronauts are more interested in not just the moon but the Mars. I mean, they've gone so far, in their

discoveries, even in the years have gone so far in their discoveries, and perhaps we feel that now they're greater in their knowledge. But the fact is that what they know is only a fraction, a fraction of what Allah knows. And what they have found out. They have only found out by the permission of Allah subhanaw taala they have discovered only with his permission with his Sofia only because he allowed them to only because he gave them the ability to Well, are you gonna betray Him or me?

Ellerbee Masha to nothing can be discovered except with Allah's permission.

Musa alayhis salam, he was sent to have to learn from him. And the story is mentioned in Surah Kahf in great detail, and Muthana salaam, he was very eager to learn. And so he said that I'm never going to stop this journey. Even if it takes me 1000s of years, I'm not going to stop until I'm going to learn from other what I'm supposed to learn. And he asked her that please let me come with you so that I can learn from you and others said that you will not be able to have any Sobor over this kind of knowledge. But Musa Islam was determined. So how they eventually allowed him. But what was the condition? No questions. So anyway, when they were on the ship, a bird came and sat at the edge of

the boat.

And it dipped its beak into the water and drank a little bit, and how they're set to Musa al salaam, that our knowledge, my knowledge and your knowledge, all of it together is like the drop of water in the mouth in the beak of the bird. And the knowledge of Allah is like the ocean. What we know what we have discovered, what we have come to realize, is only a little bit only a fraction of what Allah knows.

And if we do know about something, it's because Allah taught us not because we have achieved this knowledge because of our own greatness, our own skills know there are many people who try to study the same thing who try to discover the same thing. But some people are successful and others are not. Because knowledge is a gift of Allah, that Allah does not give to everyone

that people are not able to attain themselves but rather Allah gives to them. So Allah you he's gonna be shaming your enemy he Ellerbee Masha, what's your call? See you? What's your it is vast, it has encompassed well see nine

was is when something is vast, it is spacious, and when it's spacious than it can accommodate it can contain many things within it. So what's your Accorsi yoo hoo his corsi it can accommodate or rather it accommodates it contains? What's your kursi you? What does it accommodate what does it contain? A summer word it will have

the heavens and the earth. So what is the score see, by which this idea is known AYATUL kursi what is the score See, could see is basically what it means is a footstool could see is a footstool. It's not a chair. It's not a throne, could see means foot stool, a stool, a piece of furniture on which someone rests their feet. And its size, this smaller than the chair on which an individual is resting.

The stool is always smaller compared to the chair the seat the throne.

Now even our bustling our own home he said that corsi is the footstool of Allah. And no one is able to give due consideration to Allah's throne. If his kursi is such that it's so vast that the heavens and the earth are contained within it, meaning they are like a very small object compared to the Cusi then how grand and how great is the throne

if his currency is such that it's bigger, greater, more vast in size compared to the heavens and the earth combined. Then how great is the throne Darsh of Allah soprano and is reported in a bubble Ronnie. So the Cusi is the Mulder the place of the codomain of Allah subhanaw taala the footstool of Allah subhanaw taala some of set the course he refers to the OSH but the fact is that there is different and the kursi is different. In a hadith we learn that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said must summer were to suburbia, one Aluna suburban Nyssa T lil Kersey in Kochalka fee of the flat, were in the favelas, Sharla Cusi Kofoed little flat Allah tilcon helper that the seven heavens and

the seven herbs combined are not in comparison to the kursi except like a ring in a desert. Imagine a desert and imagine your ring. Imagine this big hall and imagine your rink and a desert is bigger than this hole. How small is your ring and how big is the desert?

The seven heavens and the earth combined is like the ring and the could see

is like the desert. This is how vast his kursi is. And the superiority of the rush over the kursi is like the superiority of the desert, over the rink, like the desert over the ring. Now imagine, what's our size that?

How big are we? Or how small are we rather? What are we compared to a mountain? And what is that mountain compared to the earth? And what is that Earth compared to the sun? And what is that sun compared to the entire universe that we know all of that combined together like a ring in a desert and that desert? The KFC of Allah Subhan

we hear nothing.

You know, sometimes you're walking and you see an ENT, when I can, whatever small and right? What difference does it make, or you see a dust particle? Like whatever, it's so small, it's so tiny, we are even smaller, compared to the courtesy. We are nothing. We are insignificant, we are nothing at all. And this is the reason why pride does not refer to us.

It does not refer to us. If you get bitten by an ant, what will you do? You will kill that and once you you will kill it like this and dares to bite me. You don't think twice and you'll just kill that end and get rid of it and you feel so satisfied. You know it bit me and I finished it. And here we are walking arrogantly on the earth, disobeying Allah saying things that are so wrong. While we are nothing compared to Allah subhanaw taala we are so small and so insignificant compared to Allah subhanaw taala. We are so small, and yet we think we don't need to raise our hands before him and begging for help asking for help. We think Oh, it's okay. I'll do everything myself. We don't need

to make dua. Of course, you need to make dua because you're nothing without Allah. He brought you into existence. And if he would stop taking care of you than you would be nothing. What's your call to see you will summer worth you? Well, all

it encompasses the heavens and the earth. Even our best said, if the seven heavens and the seven Earth's were flattened and laid side by side, they would add up to the size of a ring in a desert compared to the code. See? What's your call to see you this summer? Where do you well all what are your old who have Luma and Allah, it's not difficult for him to take care of the heavens and the earth. Because it's so small. It's so tiny. It's so small for him. He doesn't get tired looking after them. Whether you're old who have a woman, if you have to take care of just one small bookshelf, one small, tiny bookshelf. Are you capable of doing that? Yes. But if you were to take

care of a huge library, would you be able to do that all by yourself? No. The smaller something is compared to you, the easier it is for you to manage it. And the greater something is the more difficult it is for you to manage. Now everything is so small, just like a ring just like a tiny ring. When I will do have Luma Allah does not get tired looking after the heavens and the earth and even if they were bigger still he would not get tired why? Because letter who the WHO sinner to Allah No, because he's Alhaj and he is Alka you the word you all do is from the letters Hamza well dal and old is to bend to Weigh Down. And add to your Udo is when something becomes heavy, that you

cannot carry it anymore. So you bend you're heavily burdened by it. So when you're older, who he does not get tired, he does not get burdened by what by have Luma have a wall to guard to protect to look after their preservation of the heavens and the earth. It does not tire him well who will or lay or leave and he is the only one the only being who is Ally Li and who is an ally.

Our lead from the letters I inland well Rulu Alou is greatness, height, Allah, what does it mean greatness height, and Li Li is the one who has iRULU meaning the one who is high and above everything and everyone. He is early meaning he has if differ or foe cockily che and this is in two ways, in his that and also in his sulfat in his being and secondly in his attributes in his being He is above everything. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said Our Lord is Allah who is in the heaven meaning he's above. He's above us above everything in place in his being

Some people say Allah is everywhere and Allah is everything this is wrong. This is not correct. It is not right for us to say Allah is everywhere in everything. If you say everywhere that means on the desk below the desk, up on the roof and in the building, narrow the villa, this is wrong. Allah is not everywhere his knowledge includes everything. But Allah is Allah Ali. He is high above his throne.

Other people go to the other extreme and they say, Oh Allah is nowhere, not here, not there. Nowhere. Allah Himself tells us that He is Allah Allah

that He is is the one on Earth.

And secondly, in his Sleaford, in his attributes, he is above everything and everyone that in his attributes, he does not resemble anything, anyone in his position in his status. He is the highest ally Lee. No one is above him. No one is greater than him. And he's Aleem the most grant, the most great, the most supreme and our lead describes the immense power the importance than ability of Allah subhanaw taala from iron law meme, Lula Aloma, he is the one who possesses Algoma greatness, grandness in his that in his Soufan in his power in his SIFAT and his attributes? So he alone is an early enrollee. How is he early?

Because La ilaha illa? Because Alhaj because he's Alka you because letter who sinner to Allah? No, because mandala the Ashfur in the WHO elaborate kidney.

So all of what is mentioned in this ayah it tells us that Allah is Allah Li and only he is an early

let's listen to the recitation of AYATUL kursi and focus on every word on every statement

along

Lovell math is semi-wild Do you want to ask?

The lady

Yeah, Dana ad

in nine me in the mash

was the article see you Santa.

Wanna know?

Whoa, whoa, Lolly you love me.

I was thinking, we were so small,

so insignificant.

But yet, Allah loves us.

Yet he answers our prayers.

He provides for us.

He protects us. He saves us He guides us. Like what are we?

You know, when something is very small, insignificant before you. You don't give any importance to it. But look at how loving and how merciful Allah is. That despite the fact that we sin and we disobey, and we're full of shortcomings, yet He hears us yet he knows us. You are important before him despite your smallness.

When Allah is so great, and he gives you importance, then what does it mean? That we have to give importance to him as well. We have to pay attention to him as well. We have to realize his greatness as well. And this is why we must say especially in these days, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illa, who we must say this.

Now in this verse, There are many things, many, many lessons that can be learned. And as I'm discussing the lessons with you, I want you to think and I want you to reflect and I want you to share what you are learning and what you are thinking as well.

First of all, we see this idea that Allah's five names are mentioned in this verse.

Which ones are they? Which ones are they? Allah, Al, hey, Alka, yo, l r, Li, and L. Arlene. Five Names of Allah are mentioned in this area. And these five names, we should know their meaning, and we should know their implication as well on our lives.

Then this idea teaches us that Allah alone is the greatest one. He is the one who is most grand and he is the one who was most perfect. He is the one who was most known

eligible, and he is the one who has the most authority. And we people, where are we? We are in the milk of Allah, we are the possession of Allah. And whenever we are going through any time of difficulty, or a time of ease, then what should we remember? That Allah is there? Allah is there. I'm not alone. I'm going through difficulty, I'm going through this tough time. But Allah allowed for this to happen.

So we should turn to Him, we should surrender to Him. Because there is no benefit in avoiding him in running away from him. Because where will we go? If we avoid him? Where can we go without him? What can we be without him? Nothing. He knows you and everything about you. And you are his, he decides, so you can only turned to him. This is why the Prophet salallahu Salam, when his grandchild died, he advised his daughter, that whatever Allah takes belongs to Him, and to Him belongs what he gives, and everything with him has an appointed fixed term in this world. So whenever that happens, I have this contentment have this realization that I am the possession of Allah. And if Allah cause this to

happen, then he has the ultimate authority, it is his decision. I am nothing. I'm just a servant, and He is Allah.

Then this AI also teaches us that upon accomplishing something, upon experiencing something good, we should never feel proud of ourselves. We should never forget Allah, because ultimate sovereignty and ultimate authority is who's Allah soprano. Third,

pride. Arrogance does not fit us.

It does not suit us human beings at all.

Then we also learned in this idea about the fact that everything depends on Allah and needs his guarding his protection, his care, including the heavens and the earth and everything within them.

Allah says what are your old who he flew Houma? He says Yarlung uma Bina ad him, why am I calling for him and that he is a you. So everything no matter what it is, it depends on who Allah, everything needs Allah, even the skies, even the earth in sort of fat that I have 41 Allah says in Allah Yom sickle Samoa, to will, and to Zula What are in Xalapa, in Stockholm, and I had him in birdie. Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth, lest they cease. And if they should cease, no one could hold them in place after him. Meaning if Allah does not protect something, the nothing can protect it. If Allah does not preserve something, then nothing can preserve it, even something as

great as the skies and the earth.

Then we, who do we need?

Who do we need? Do we need to turn to Him? Do we need to ask him? Do we need to thank him? Do we need to beg him? Yes. Because if he abandoned us, then we would have nothing at all

than this I also teaches us that nothing at all is difficult for Allah nothing. If he can take care of look after the skies, the earth, the sun, the moon, then what are my problems? And what are your problems? Really, what are our problems? They're very small. So if Allah can take care of the skies on the earth, He can also take care of you. But you have to turn to Him and you have to submit to Him like the sky and the earth to like the sun and the moon do. You have to obey him too.

So ask him depend on him, not anyone else but him. And this IOLTA teaches us that since we are owned by Allah, and we are in the protection of Allah, Allah can also remove that protection from us. Allah can also abandon us. So there is a warning in these verses, that what are you without Allah, you are nothing. Where could you go? What could you do? Who could protect you who could save you? Nothing, no one at all.

So in other words, there is warning against disobeying Allah Subhana. realize who he is, and fear him. And don't you dare, don't you dare disobey Him. And if you do because you're human, then turn back to him, not run away from him turn back to him, because that is the only way to success. Without it. You're a failure. And when Allah is Allah Lee, and he's Aleem, the person should always remember that there's someone above me

greater than me, more powerful than me. So me with my power, whatever limited power I have, it doesn't mean I can do whatever I want. I can oppress others, I can harm others, I can say whatever I want No, no matter what position no matter what authority you have, remember, there is someone who is above you,

someone who is above you, because sometimes because of the limited power that we have, we begin oppressing others, we begin to harm others, we become unfair to them, because of whatever power we have, whether it is this, the power to speak through our words, or it is the social status that we have, regardless of what we have, remember, there is someone who is still greater than you will who will our legal or lien.

So, in the end, what we see is that this IR teaches us that Allah is one he alone deserves worship, he is the ultimate authority. And we are His servants depend on him. And we are nothing without him. And he is above us.

Let's listen to the recitation again.

Hola Hola. Hola.

Are you bye you home

to

love

the lady Michelle

Yeah.

At

home, while I hate to levy che

mi Levy, Masha

was y'all could see you who's watching?

What do

you love the

so what have you learned?

What are you thinking? What are your thoughts?

We see that as human beings, we consider ourselves to be the best of creation, right? Best of creation. Even people who are not religious, they consider themselves to be the best because we people are the best. We have technology, we have science, we have this we have that. And the rest of the Creation does not. But this idea teaches us that we are very, very small, who we are nothing.

It's a big reality check.

It's a big reality check. It tells us about who we are, what our true status and position is. That I had to concede the greatest idea about the greatest being he is the greatest and what are you very small, nothing before him.

And when you think about the fact that despite the fact that we are nothing still Allah sent the Quran to us. Still Allah talks to us. Allah answers our prayers, Allah gives us the ability to do something good.

Then his Ersan upon us is even greater. His mercy upon us is even greater. So we have no other choice but to surrender to Him and but to believe in Him and but to obey Him. It doesn't benefit us

that we go on disobeying him

that we say no, I'd rather read this right now instead of praying or instead of reciting Quran I'd rather sleep instead of praying that I'd rather not fast instead of fasting No. When you realize the greatness of Allah, only then can you do good.

Okay, let's listen to recitation again.
