Taleem al Quran 2012 – P03 035D Tafsir Al-Baqarah 264-266

Are with bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim lesson number 35 Surah Al Baqarah ayah number 264 to 266.

Now Allah subhanaw taala gives us three examples to make us understand how charity is nullified and how charity is preserved.

First of all, Allah says Yeah, are you a Latina woman who are you who have believed? Love to go to us for the Kotico don't nullify your sada caught to Blue Bear for lamb baffling

legible three No, do not nullify, do not render void do not cancel out. What sort of quality comes the court is a poor enough sadaqa what's the root of sadaqa?

Sod dal of sleep? What does it mean? Truthfulness? So what does it have to do with charity?

Charity is only charity when it's given with the truthfulness of your heart with sincerity.

So all you have believed do not cancel out your charity how Bill money while other with the reminder of favor and hurting the other person. Don't do that. Don't cancel your award.

can levy like the one who Yun Philco he spends mana who his wealth why that he as a nurse to be seen by the people.

So we see that three things Nullifier charity, a man be other and see, what is it that nullifies charity, read a nurse showing off to the people

that he is from the root letters ra Hamza, yeah. Rukia, to see Radha and Riyadh is to do something so that it can be seen by people so that others can see it, while others can see it. That's the intention. And that's the state of the action.

That the intention is other people can see when you're doing that action, what's coming in your head, other people.

And when you're doing it, you're doing it while others can see it. This is what realness to show off to the people expecting a reward from them.

can lead the human feel Comala Huria, nurse, sorry, showing off? What does that do?

It cancels the reward of charity.

Who is this person who spends in order to be seen by the people? Who does that? Primarily, it is the hypocrites that whenever you clean

the monastic when he spends, even if it's look at even if it's sadaqa, he doesn't spend to get reward from Allah subhanaw taala. He doesn't have that intention, that goal. The reason why he's doing it is just to show to the people so that people are okay with him. They are satisfied with him. They think good about him. They praise Him. They thank him. They think he's very generous. They think he's a very good person. That's the main goal, to satisfy others to please others so that they can see. He's worried about the eyes of people. The other nests,

which is why when he gives a charity in the heart, he's not happy with parting from his money. He spends grudgingly Allah says in the Quran whenever you and Phil Koerner Illa, whom carry Hoon, they do not spend except graduating. So the Toba 54 Intro to Nyssa 38 Allah says, well, Medina, Yun, hakuna and wala Maria and NAS and those who spend their wealth to be seen by others.

This is just like the hypocrite when he prays for Now why does he pray so that people can see and they won't bother him again? Likewise when he spends Why does he spend so that people can see and they think of him as a good person?

Because sometimes it happens that you have money and other people know about that too. And somebody is asking or somebody's in need and people start looking at you that expecting that you're supposed to spend someone you're supposed to give him something. So you spend why only so that others are okay with you. Allah says don't do that. led to booty loose or the party come when money will other color the Univer Kumala Huria NASS, one or you may know and this person reality he does not believe in Allah Billa he will human effort in reality does not believe in Allah nor the Last Day, because if a person believed in Allah and the Last Day then who would he expect reward from

Allah? Then he would not do it so that other people can see and other people can praise him.

When it comes to sadaqa remember it can be given publicly and it can also be given secretly and inshallah

We will learn about that, that even the spending publicly is a good thing. But the condition is that you do it for the sake of Allah. Not that, you know you think, okay, I'll give $50 But then you're like, oh others will say only 50 I should give 100 so that people think good about me people know that I'm so rich, and I'm so generous. So then a person changes his mind why so that he can be seen by others. So then the NEA is corrupted, that's a DACA is nullified.

But a person is spending publicly spending for the sake of Allah he doesn't care about people. He says I can only get 50 or I don't care what people say. Then his reward is secure. So at the end of the day, it's not about being public or private, but what matters is the

intention of the heart.

So a person who spends for fame to show off in reality Wallah you may know biller he will yo will acid he does not believe in Allah, nor the last day and this is exactly what Allah says about the hypocrites will mean a Nassima your Kulu Amma no Billahi while BillyOh mill Afghan woman meaning they're not actually believers, because a person truly believes and he will be sincere he would expect your work from Allah unknown. So such a person Allah says for method also his example. Can method is soft warning is like that obvious of one what is a soft one solid? Well,

soft one is basically a stone, or you can say a rock that is huge. And it's also very smooth. Not bumpy, but smooth.

So soft one a huge rock that is smooth.

And it's also visible from far

because software literally means clarity, purity, so it's clear it's visible from far. So software is like that of your software, or allowing you to robbing upon it meaning upon the rock is what to rob dust fine particles of dust. It's covered with a layer of dust.

Now this dust, if you put a grain on it will grow into a plant. No, nothing will grow on it. Why? Because it's only a fine layer of dust. Apparently, it seems like fertile soil. But in reality, it's rock. It's barren, nothing can grow. And this soil this layer of dust, what will happen for Asaba who were below and then what came upon it. What reached it. were built on webbing heavy rain. Well bear lamb. Wobble is when a horse pursues eagerly runs fast continuously and eagerly. This is what wobble is and why bill is rain that is heavy with constant big raindrops. Okay, constant rain, heavy rain downpour you know sometimes there is a drizzle very fine grain and other times it's just coming

like heavily. So this is what webbing is for Asaba who were built on.

Now, obviously when such rain will fall upon this rock, what's going to happen for DACA who's

so that rain it left the rock solid, barren, dry, solid, solid is from the root that resort land there. And salt is when something is barren, dry, bare, lifeless. Nothing grows on it, nothing comes out of it. There is a solid A sir in meaning he returned the beggar empty handed nothing came out of that person. Nothing grew out of him no compassion, no mercy, no charity, nothing at all. He returned the beggar empty handed. So for Tanaka, who sold there, that huge stone rock, it's left bear, barren, nothing has grown on it. This is the example of the one who spends why in order to be seen by the people.

On the outward, there seems to be soil there seems to be potential of reward of growth.

But in reality, it's rock. It's barren. So even if you put something on it, even if the person gives you the con, nothing will roll. And as the season will change, the rain will come. Whatever little good he did washed away. So it's like he give something in charity to be seen by people to be appreciated by people. But the next time that same person offended him, he reminds him man other and that charity that he gave wasted that favor that he showed God

that a person cleans up she cleans up does the laundry vacuumed the floor does the dishes are in the clouds. And then people come home and they make a little bit of mess. And there she blows.

As up I spent hours doing this and here you are wasting your time away and wasting my time. What do you think of yourself you think I'm your sermon go on and on and on and on.

The season changed the situation changed. And what happened? All that kindness gone. All that good, flushed away literally flushed away.

Fat aka who sold Allah says lair Karuna Anna che Makka Sabu they don't have any ability over anything that they have acquired. They have no power yeah Karuna from Qudra cough Dhanraj they have no Qudra over anything that they have acquired in Mecca Cebu. Gustavo craft scene Bah kasbahs earning, so whatever they earn meaning whatever soil that had gathered up on the rock, it's washed away with the rain. Can they get that soil back? No. Likewise the damage that was caused now by the man by the other can to be reversed. No. Once you've hurt someone, you've permanently hurt them. No matter what you do to make up things might never be the same layer could you Lunarlon che in Mecca

Cebu. The field that the person grew gone, Everything burnt up. The charity that he gave the goodness that he showed it's gone. It's wasted Leia kurunegala, che Eman maca, Cebu. And this will be the state of a person on the Day of Judgment.

Will Allah hula tell como caffeine and Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. And remember the meaning of caffeine is also ungrateful, Allah does not guide such people, those who disbelieve because why is covered mentioned over here, when a person spends with Eman he will not follow it up with men and other he will not do it with React.

But when a person spends with Gopher, then he will follow it up with man and other Eman firmness and fit helps a person preserve the reward for tech the good deed that he has done.

So in this example, we learned a very, very important lesson.

And that is that men and other they waste the good that a person has done. They waste a charity that a person has given no matter what effort a person has put in, no matter what the quantity of the charity was, it will bring no reward whatsoever. It will be washed away with the rain gone forever, never to come back. This is why Allah says lead to booty Lusa Ducati calm, don't waste your efforts don't waste your charity.

The reality is that react showing off is a kind of shift. It's minor shift.

And a deed performed with Shin. It's not accepted by Allah Subhan. Allah says that an owner should look at er and it should that I am the one one who does not stand in need of a partner. So if a person does something, apparently for Allah, but in reality, he's doing it to gain appreciation from people to gain something from them, then Allah will not accept such a deed, that deed will not produce any reward whatsoever. So we should be very careful that the deeds that we are performing the hard work that's going into it, the effort, the sacrifice, it's not wasted by our own deeds that we don't burn our gardens ourselves. The next example Allah gives up those who spend with sincerity

what does that produce? What does that bring to a person? Well, methadone Medina and the example of those people who yearn for Kona and wanna whom who spend their wealth, why empathy law in order to seek bail lane here? What's the intention to seek to seek what manga to learn the pleasure of Allah? What is from the root letters are all blood yet lovely, yeah. To be happy. That is one pleasure. So morbid pleasure, approval. So they're spending in order to gain the approval of Allah.

One person is spending so that others can see another person is spending why, so that Allah who will be happy, Allah will be pleased with him. One is to do something to please people, and the other is to do something to please Who? Allah subhanaw taala pleasing people, when people are your goal, then what does that bring nothing at all, whatever little you did gone, but when a person spends in the way of Allah, for the pleasure of Allah, then that is preserved, so much about Allah. That's the first intention to seek the pleasure of Allah. And secondly, what does beton mean and fusi him? That's bead from the letters sir Berta. And Sebata is to be firm and this bead is to make

Something for to stabilize something. When do you need to stabilize something when it is shaky. When it's wobbly when it's not firmly grounded, then you have to make it firm.

Now as people, human beings, we have faith we have Iman. But that demand sometimes that goes high and other times it goes low. Sometimes you really want to do good and other times you don't want to do anything good at all. It keeps increasing and decreasing. Sometimes you're so good to people, other times you don't want to even look at them. So we need to stabilize our Eman. We need to strengthen our Eman. We need to make our Eman firm. So those who spend their wealth why in order to stabilize their faith What does beat them in and forcing him to bring stability to their hearts, to bring stability to their good deeds to bring stability to the state of mind to bring stability to

the trust that they should have and Allah subhanaw taala with beat them in and forcing him

so does beat them and unfussy him What does it mean as a way of making their hearts firm,

to make sure that they remain firm on right conduct that they continue to perform good with us beat them and unfussy him, to speed them in and for him has been understood in another way as well. And that is that the spend wild day in their hearts are sure and certain.

They are sure and certain to their spending with this this beat with this conviction with the certainty what certainty what conviction that Allah will definitely reward them. This is just like a person praise the expecting reward from Allah. So likewise a person spends expecting reward from Allah. He spends with this conviction that Allah will not waste my effort, that my wealth is not going to go waste. Allah will give me more in the future. Allah will create ease for me. Allah will give baraka to me in my wealth, what does beat them in unfussy him

and you see men unfussy him, it's a decision that they've made themselves? Sometimes we do good why? Because others are forcing us we're coming to class sometimes because if we don't, our mothers are going to give it to us. But another is that we're doing something good why? With our own decision, so they have conviction out of themselves What does beat them in unfussy him there example Allah says come with a legion nothing is like a garden. Jana This is not paradise but rather Janna in its literal meaning garden. Where is this garden situated Virago attend on a high ground elevated ground Robert, Rob Bell, well,

brava your boo is to swell. When something grows, it increases in its size. Riba is interest because apparently it seems that the money is growing.

And Riba is something that is returned on top of the money that was taken to its growth basically. So this garden is situated at elevated land above sea level, within the mountains high ground, high land be Robert in Highland high place. Now, is there a difference if a garden is situated in such a place? Yes, the atmosphere is much better pure. The air is cleaner.

As a result, there's more rain. The ground is also far more superior. It's premium in its quality. So premium soil, great atmosphere, rain moisture, so as a result, this garden is only going to thrive. This Jana it's very different from the layer of soil on a rock. This is a garden on high land. Go meta Lee Jana timbira buatan

this Janna Allah says Asaba what reached it were built on a heavy rain same heavy rain also fell on this garden. But this heavy rain on this garden will produce very different results. What's that result for at that so it gave a cola its fruit, they're fine double twice as more. Oh cool. Hamza Coughlin will call you can do that which is eaten that we just consumed. So refers to the fruit the produce. So as a result of this heavy rain, the produce will be double their fame.

For Illa, muesli bahawa belong and then if it doesn't reach it, meaning if there is no heavy rain, then * alone, then a drizzle is also

sufficient fun is from the root letters thought lamb lamb, and fall is fine rain or light rain do drizzle. So, even drizzle is sufficient, even level rain is sufficient, why? Because the quality of the soil is so good, the air is so good, the climate is perfect, everything is suitable. So, as a result, this garden will only produce double the produce double the amount.

Why, because of the soil and because of the atmosphere.

This is just like spending in the way of Allah with pure intention and following it up with forgiveness and pardon, preserving the reward,

I want you to picture and imagine it in your head,

on the one hand, a rock

corrupt intention

on top of it fine layer of soil, apparent good deed, weapon, heavy rain, whatever was done, gone. So, what cancel the reward? What cancel the apparent good deed? The man and other on the other hand, you have a garden, the best soil the best atmosphere, what does it mean? pure intention, a person gives a lot of charity.

So as a result, a lot of reward. And even if he's not able to give a lot of charity, a little bit balloon, a light rain light drizzle is also sufficient, even that will produce a lot of reward. Why? Because the intention was good. And later on, there was no money and no other no hurtful words, no reminding of favors. So the reward is many, many times more.

What's the difference that we see here difference in intention and difference in

the action. As a result, the consequences are also very, very different. If the intention is pure, then the action will also be pure. And the result will also be great. But if the intention is corrupt, then the action will be corrupt and the result will also be detrimental.

So we have to look at three things. Don't just focus on the reward now.

Focus on three things, the intention, the action, and the reward.

Intention has to be pure, the action has to be good, no man no other stay away from that. Instead of hurtful words call tomorrow. And as a result, the consequences will be great as well.

So these three things we must always keep in mind when doing any good deed. Otherwise, our efforts will be useless. Will law will be met our Medina will say Allah tells us that Allah is watching whatever that you do. From the moment that you saw the seat to the woman that you read the produce, Allah is watching you. So from the moment you make the intention, until the action is complete, Allah is watching you.

Many times what happens, we give charity and then we forget about it. We give something in the way of Allah and we forget that we have done something good and as a result, we go on nullifying the good that we have performed because of our mistreatment of others because of our rude behavior. Because of our evil actions, we are nullifying the reward we cancelling the reward at the same time. It's very important that we take care of the good deed as well do it and also preserve it

people as farmers have to be very attentive towards their crop they can ever do this a sow the seeds and then go away. No, you have to be very, very attentive. Because if you're not your plant will die.

It will not produce any good results for you.

Then Allah asks us I want to I had to come Would one of you like I would do this is a question and here what do from the letter as well dial dial would love it what do I have to come Would one of you like and this is a rhetorical question. And it means that none of you would like what any one of you like and takuna know who Jana tune that there should be for him a garden and orchard. And this garden is of Mina healing will Arnab an update ponds and grape lines. Nothing is a floral of Nakhla and our neighbors of Florida are in that Journeyman 30 Hill and how underneath which rivers flow underneath which what does it mean meaning beneath its trees, the branches, what's flowing, rivers

are flowing. So you don't just have trees but you also have vines, and not just the crop and the plant, but you also have water so

If it's not just a source of profit for you, but also also beauty and relaxation and comfort and delight, imagine that God meant that the oil and how Loafie her and for Him meaning for that person in it meaning in the garden, we could summarize every kind of fruit, a somewhat opposite Florida summer fruit, every kind of produce, meaning a variety, dates and grapes, different different types. And this person will also have a whole keyboard. And old age has reached him. A Slava whole Cuba, Cuba from the roulette ResCap Bora, meaning he has become very old, all his life, he has been working in this garden, investing his time, his money, his efforts into this garden. And now

finally, the things are working a Saba Holkenborg, he has become old, so he doesn't have much strength. He doesn't have much ability. So basically, he's at a huge risk that if that garden gets affected, then he's done, he's ruined, he won't have any source of income, you won't have any help. And at the same time, one who's reluctant to offer and he has children, the Ria and through letters del Ra, children who are Darfur are far as the plural of the reef. The reef is from birth, weakness. So he has weak children, weak children, weakness on account of either age, or strength. So they're weak because they are too young, or because they are sick, they're weak, they have no strength, so

they're unable to help him. In other words, he is old, he cannot do much for his garden. And at the same time, he has no help, no one to depend on. And instead of there are others who depend on him. You understand? The children cannot offer him any help, but instead they depend on him. What a slob the whole Kibera well who the real Tumblr alpha, can you imagine what a huge risk this person is at. And then for our sabaha and then it reaches it. What reaches the garden, it is afflicted by aerosol on a tornado.

And this tornado fee he now on in it is fire. And this tornado for the rockets. It came upon the garden and the garden got burned up, turn to ashes. The word aerosol is from the root letters ion Sodre. And also is to squeeze to twist something and aerosol is used for a tornado, a hurricane. Why? Because the wind is such that it's it's going round and round as if you're squeezing, you're twisting something a twister, right. And as it comes at uproots everything turns everything up. So aerosol don't a tornado, and this tornado has fire in it. And it burns up the entire garden burns up the entire garden. And in that state, this old man, he doesn't have any chance to regrow the garden.

He has nothing to resort to for help. He is deprived off the fruit of his life's efforts. He is ruined basically.

Allah says Karateka Ubu Allahu La Comala dusters Allah clarify to you the vs. La La Quinta for karoun. So that you will reflect you give thought you think you are careful, because only when you think and you become conscious, and when you're conscious, then you will be careful about what you do and how you do.

Now the example that is given over here, it's a very sad example.

This will be the condition of people on the Day of Judgment.

Just like this old person doesn't have the ability to regrow the garden. Likewise, on the Day of Judgment, people will not have a second chance to re perform all those good deeds. Just like this person does not have any help. Likewise, on the Day of Judgment, no one can help us. We don't have any more chances. We don't have any help.

Just like this person, all of his efforts are burned to ashes. Likewise, on the Day of Judgment, the person who reminds others of the favors that he has done for them, who hurts others, he will have nullified all of his good deeds.

Just like this person is empty handed on the Day of Judgment, those who remind others of their favors who waste their deeds will be empty handed.

And look at how desperate this person is for help. How needy he is. Nobody can help him. In fact

others want from him. And likewise on the Day of Judgment, the most bankrupt person will be who, who will come with a whole lot of good deeds, but they will be taken away from him. Why? Because he hurt others, he harmed others, he damaged their property or he hurt their feelings, and they will demand justice on the day of judgment for him. So he will have to give them his good deeds. And then when there will be nothing left and other people's sins will be given to him. He's desperate that day for any deed, any good deed, any reward, he'll have no more chances. So a lot of questions as would any of you like to be in such a state? Would any one of us like to be in such a state? Never would any

one of us like that whatever we have done is wasted. No. Imagine you go on a shopping trip and you buy a whole lot of stuff. A whole lot of things. You know, sometimes when people are traveling, they're going back home and they have to buy gifts for their family members. So whatever money they've been saving for over a year or whatever, that money is gone into buying gifts. Now imagine you purchase all of that you're filling up your house with gifts and what happens robbers come and they take everything.

You don't have no money to go buy more gifts, whatever you bought is gone. What do you have left? Nothing in your hands. You don't have that time to make up all that money again, and to go buy all those gifts again. Do you have that time? No, you don't do have a second chance? Not at all. What state would you be in sadness, grief, a sense of loss, fear, regret.

Allah subhanaw taala is telling us to save ourselves from this great loss.

So whenever we do do it with the right intention, and whatever we do, preserve that action don't nullify it with our own hands with our own words. preserve our deeds. Could Danica Ubu Hola Hola, como Ayad La La con that have a karoun Even our bustle de la aren't who you he said this idea was about a person who performed good deeds. But then, in the end of his life, he performed such evil deeds that canceled out the good deeds that he performed. He burned his own garden

this is just like we do something good. And the next moment we're doing something evil so that evil will kill the good deeds that we have done. You know, just like good deeds they erase bad deeds. bad deeds also erase good deeds

like backbiting what does it do? It eats up good deeds just like fire consumes dry wood.

So we should be very careful about preserving the reward for the good that we do.

And we should be very careful that the deeds that we do we don't destroy them ourselves.

Let's listen to the recitation.

Many times it happens at when our younger siblings or people who are younger than us, if they ask us for help, and we don't want to help them, we brush them off in a very rude manner. Go do it yourself, No, I'm busy. I have other things to do mind your own business, we brush them off very rudely. But Allah subhanaw taala says our motto, say good words instead. And sometimes we will help someone and still will be so rude to them. You know, we'll make such a rude face expression, and we're so harsh in our tone in our way of helping them.

Don't help someone in that manner. Don't do it, that would be much better.

We have to be very careful because sometimes mothers do this a lot. Parents do this a lot with their children, that we paid this much for you and we do this for you and all my life have sacrificed for you. And yes, all of you girls are laughing.

So we do this a lot sometimes. But this in reality wastes our efforts. Now, sometimes it happens that parents need to make their children realize, okay, because children tend to take everything for granted. So if it's for the purpose of making children realize, and it's done in a proper manner, then there's no harm in that. But it has to be done in a proper manner, not in a hurtful way. Okay, because sometimes you'll take everything for granted. So they have to be reminded sometimes, but it should not be in a hurtful way.

It said if a person ends up with no reward on the day of judgment, because when Allah is so generous, and so forgiving, the person had to be really corrupt, to deserve that punishment at the end, when Allah reward so generously 700 times 700,000 times more, the person is at fault, because he is the one who was planting the garden and burning the garden.

He is the one who was choosing the rock for his garden and not the right kind of soil. It's his fault, not Allah's fault. At the end of the day.

This is just like a person preparing for a test working so hard to write a test. But then when he comes to write the test, he finds out that he was wearing something different. That's not what he's going to be tested on. So he's devastated. This is just like a person who has a contract who's working and he has bills to pay, he has plans to travel. And then all of a sudden he finds out that his contract has been terminated, he would be devastated.

None of us want to be in that situation. Why would we want to be in such a situation on the Day of Judgment when no soul will help another, when there is no more chances to do the good that we did. Again, we only have one chance, we only have a few moments, we don't know when death is coming. So always value good deeds, always preserve them. And always be careful.

Now, this is just something that we'd like to show you about this plant rust analogy that if the seed is good, the intention is good, then what will happen the plant will thrive. But if the seed is not good, okay, the plant will not be good. And even if the seed is good, the plant is good, but the plant is not protected, then what will happen the plant will go waste. So even if initially your intention is good, you give the sadaqa but if you follow it with money and other what's going to happen, your plant is going to be destroyed, your deed will be wasted. You might say oh my intention was very good, maybe but still, you don't have the right to hurt others, you don't have the right to

remind others of the favors that you have done for them. So in conclusion, we all need to first of all spend in the way of Allah. Then when we spend spend with the good intention, spend in the right manner and afterwards Be careful Be on your guard Control your tongue zips lock and throw the key away sometimes you have to do that quite literally. That's listen to the recitation of these verses.
