Taleem al Quran 2012 – P04 047G Tafsir Aal-e-Imran 104-105

Let's continue while the commend come on mutton and there must be among you and Oma. Well talkin lamb over here is of Amorth and what does that mean? It's a command gives the meaning of should must. So well, the coin and there should be there must be men come from you Oh mutton a group meaning from you the Muslim or mother should be a group whose job is what yet Aruna Ilahi, whose job is to call people to goodness. What does it mean by this? Well taco men come men comb is understood in two ways. First of all, it means barber convenience, some of you, not every single one of you, but from the Muslim ummah, there should be some people whose full time job is what to call people to

goodness, who are committed to this work, this is what they do. Not part time, but full time, this is what they do. A dedicated group of individuals who are calling mankind to what to goodness, what is goodness, and we'll we'll discuss about that.

Other scholars have said that men come doesn't mean some of you, but it means all of you.

It means all of you, right, like we learn women metals, Akane, whom you and feel cone means some of that which and it also means everything that they have, because in some situations, everything has to be spent like Abu Bakr or below on who, at the time of the expedition to the book, what did he bring? What did he bring everything that he had, or model the law on? Who What did he bring that day, half of all his possessions.

So sometimes it happens that everything is demanded and other times some is demanded. So some scholars have said that well taco men con men come means all of you, meaning you are Muslim Ummah should be and OMA should be a community. Such a group of people whose job whose mission in life whose primary goal in life is what you had the Runa ill hate to call people to goodness, every single one of you is responsible for this, every single one of us is obligated to do this, to do what to call people to goodness, he had the Runa ill height, he had a ruler they call

Okay, calling to goodness, but who who do they call to goodness? Who is not mentioned? Why? Because everyone deserves to be called to goodness, those who know and also those who don't know, men, as well as women, children as well as adults, right? Humans and jinn, everyone needs to be invited to goodness so yeah, the Runa Ilahi because Quran is for who

Quran for all in every hand in every heart. So you're the owner Elon hate, but the question is what is His goodness that we have to call people to you can only call people to something when you are on it yourself. So first we have to be on this hate ourselves only then we are eligible to call others right. So what is this height?

Height is goodness. And since height has not been specified, then we will understand it as everything that is good.

Everything that is good. Now person might say but people have different definitions of goodness. All right. So then this goodness is what everything that is considered good by the law that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed

everything good that Allah has informed us off that Allah has pointed to and this includes that which is good with regards to the deen as well as that which is good with regards to the dunya. Okay, played with regards to Deen as well as with regards to the dunya with regards to the deen it's understood any good deed? You're the owner elhaj The call to good deeds

because Allah subhanaw taala says familiar with Allah rotten. Hi Ron. Right Hi Ron. What does Highland mean? Good deed. So calling people do good deeds, reminding other people to perform good deeds. If people forget remind them if people don't know teach them if people don't see an opportunity direct them yet Aruna lol Hi.

So for example, if you call someone to study the Quran, is that calling to goodness? Yes. If you remind someone that okay, the sun is about to set it's going to be Maghrib time soon. Let's read our evening of God. Is that calling to goodness? Yes. If you tell someone let's pray, is that calling to goodness? Yes. Yeah, the Runa in Ohio and with your

guards to the dunya what is high? It is everything which is compatible with the the meaning which does not contradict the deen. It is beneficial for the people.

Okay, so anything that is good, my rule, it's recognized as good, but what's the condition? It should not contradict the deen.

All right, it should not contradict the deen because we see that many people are doing good things, but they may be doing those good things in a way that does not conform to the religion. For example, let's say a draw or something like that, why? To help a charity? Right? So okay, goodness, you tell somebody please Come Let's Participate in this draw all the benefits are going to go to the store and so charity is our calling to goodness.

No, it's not.

It's not because you calling people to haram to participate in lottery or something like that, which we have discussed earlier, and total baccarat that may sit right game of chance. This is something that's not permissible. So let's review what height means high therefore includes everything that Allah subhanaw taala likes he approves of, that does not contradict the deen in any way. This includes the rights of Allah. Here, this includes the rights of Allah. So for example, when we hear Haier Allah Salah is that a call to goodness, yes. This also includes the rights of people. If someone says, respect your mom,

okay, speak to her nicely. Listen to your dad, be good to your brother. Be good to your children, don't yell at them. This is what you're the owner. Hello, hi, rights of people.

Likewise, this includes the rights of the rest of the creation. So for example, calling to goodness would include being nice to animals, for instance. So no dumping, alright, no leaving garbage outside unnecessarily in only a garbage day, but not otherwise. Because otherwise you'll be harming the animals, right? Destroying the ecosystem, so on and so forth. So this is also your the Runa. It'll hide

sponsoring orphans, you're the Runa, it'll hide helping run a charity, this is what you're the owner, it'll hide. And remember that you're the owner, it'll hide also includes the crucial leaving that which is evil, leaving that which is bad. So stopping people from bed even. So for example, if there's a group of people who are creating awareness amongst people about elephants, for instance, that, you know, don't poach elephants, and don't kill them unnecessarily stop this ivory trade, you know, for example, is that give the room a little light. But what do we say? Oh, it's not Islamic. So forget it. Yeah. You know, for example, in high school, in universities, there are many groups

that come together, aren't there aren't there to spread awareness about different things about for example, poverty in Canada.

Right? Or about, for example, abuse that exists in families, you know, domestic violence or, or abuse against children are about how their innocent minds may be corrupted with things that they should not be taught at a very young age, for instance, but what is our attitude? Generally? We say, oh, you know what, it's not something Islamic. So I stay away from it. If it was Islam Awareness Week, then yes, I would go and volunteer. But if it's to spread awareness about poverty in Canada, then I don't have anything to do with it. I won't participate in that. But what do we learn from this idea? It is the responsibility of every Muslim, to call people to goodness. So please, for

God's sake, as a Muslim, when such good opportunities rise in your school, in your university, at your workplace, wherever you are, then what should you do? Participate? But what's the condition? It should not contradict the dean, it should not contradict the dean, this is something that we forget a lot, don't we? We say here, but, you know, we're just spreading awareness. And so what if I'm wearing a t shirt, you know, on behalf of my arms are exposed and you know, I'm standing next to a guy and my arm is touching his butt. You know, so what I'm doing something so righteous, you know, I'm spreading awareness amongst people. No, you will do it in the way that is correct. You will not

go against the deen that Allah has taught you. And can you observe the Dean as well at the same time, especially living in this country? You have no reason? Of course you can. Because Alhamdulillah this country gives you freedom of religion respects your faith. So you have the Runa il Hi. We need to be active in the community. You have the Runa ELO Hi.

Where Munna been maruf. And the second thing that we Muslims are supposed to do is what? And they order that which is my roof.

What's the difference between you

You're the owner in Ohio and yet Morona Balmoral roof there is a difference first of all there is a difference between height and maruf height is that which is good right and my roof is from the real letters I in law fair and refined recognition to recognize right to acknowledge and Marouf object is that which is recognized that which is accepted. So, what is my rule thing that everything which the Shira recognizes as good and declares a something that is rewardable

Okay, everything that the Sharia law recognizes as good meaning the law that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed it includes it within itself, right. It acknowledges it, it accepts it, it includes it Maroof it considers it as arriba.

And remember that model is also that which is considered good by the intellect. Okay, by the culture.

All right. But again, what's the condition that it should not contradict the law of Allah subhanaw taala so way up maroon, I've been marital they enjoying that, which is my roof. Now, yeah, Madonna is from

an amorous to command to instruct. Yet the ruler in a high is general, calling people to goodness this is what general. So for example, you're spreading awareness. But yet Morona been modeled is more specific. So for example, you're the owner ill height is at a mass level. So for example, a person speaking at an event. This is what you're the owner, Adel height. A person a hottie speaking at the member, giving a hotbar. This is what the other owner in Ohio, this is at a general level mass level. But yet Morona Bill maruf is at a specific level. So for example, you tell your sister, you tell her pray, or you tell your brother to do something good. Right? You tell your friend, you

tell your neighbor, so we see that yeah, moldable model is at an individual basis. It's at a personal level.

Any other owner it'll hire you will come across strangers. Okay, you will talk to people, you know, people you know, people you don't know. But yeah, Marina will Marlo is at an individual level. So for example, your sister, she's not praying. So if you tell her to pray, is that yet will not be Margo.

Yeah. Okay. If your friend is sitting in class, and she's falling asleep, and you tell her sit properly, is that yeah, it wouldn't have been marked off. He Yes.

If your friend in class is not taking notes, he's just sitting with her hand on her hand. And you tell her right is that it wouldn't have been Marlo. He has.

If your friend keeps walking out of class going in late on each other. Come on, man be on time is that yeah, we're gonna Bill Morrow. Yes. If let's say you dress up to go out somewhere. And your brother or let's say your dad or your mother, or whoever says that her job is a little see through

is that you don't have a carnival. He has. Okay. So yeah, we're gonna build model this has an obligation on who? On every Muslim. But what do we do typically, their business, their business, their life, their decision, right? So we feel as if we're interfering, but you can get the message across without even making a person feel that you're interfering in their private matters. You could say the same thing in a friendly way to, for example, the sister sitting next to you if she's falling asleep in class not taking notes. One is that you say, I'm going to tell the teacher

okay, you threaten them, or you just glare at them. Right with your eyes wide open, or you nudge them really hard so that you poke your elbow into their rib.

Right? Or that you frighten them. They're dozing off, you're falling asleep when you frighten them.

Okay, is that a good way? No. Could you do that in a better way? How can you do that in a better way? You look at them and you smile and you look at their fan. Right? You look at them smile look at their pen and just you know with your eyebrows pointed the finger you know, pick it up nice spin. Or if you feel that they don't have a pen, you give them a pen. They get the message right? Don't they're so yeah, we're gonna be creative. But do tell other people about good things. What happens if we don't tell other people about good things? What's the drawback? What's the harm?

That goodness will not spread then it

will remain limited to some people.

For example, everyone's supposed to be taking notes right now, if your friend is not taking her notes she is not writing the singular she is not writing that up see you then what will happen on her test what will happen when it comes time to do the assignment she will suffer right. So, ordering that which is good is not to poke your nose into other people's personal business. It is in fact to benefit people. It is for their own good. It is out of well wishing yet Munna been maruf.

Way and how norriton mooncup. When you command that which is right, then inevitably you will also have to forbid from that which is wrong.

Many times it happens that when people are praying in Jamara, a person might be standing next to you who's not really praying the similar way or the way that you have learned. So for example, they are holding their hands in a particular way or they're sitting in a particular way and you nudge them when you kick them or you step on their foot to that they cannot move their foot. You squish their toe, you know they'll get offended. They'll get offended. What's better that after Salah you tell them you start like to share something with you.

Sometimes we become very harsh and aggressive in commanding that which is right and forbidding that which is wrong that we end up hurting other people we end up offending them.

So when how gnarly among Korean Hona from Naheed noon higher, and mancha is the exact opposite of marble mancha is from Northern California that which is rejected. So everything that is rejected by the *tier by the law that Allah has revealed everything that the Dean disapproves off everything that the Dean rejects, whether it is some action that the Dean rejected does not approve off, whether it is some kind of men or some kind of a clock that the Dean does not allow. Right? So for example, theft, for example, Zina, for example, hurting other people disrespecting the parents, right? This is what one called doing drugs. This is what monka

having, you know, a relationship with someone that is not correct. This is what mancha so when you know that someone is engaging in Mancha, should you leave them to do whatever they're doing? No, you have to stop them. Because stop being someone who is doing something wrong is also well wishing for them. You know, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, I'm sort of a haka. volumen, almost lumen help your brother, whether he's the one who is committing injustice, or the one on whom injustice is being done. So the people said, Yeah, we understand that you help the one on whom injustice is being done, but how do you help the one who is the unjust person? What was the answer by stopping him by

stopping him? So when Hona or Anil mancha out of well wishing also stop them from the wrong that they are doing? So for example, if somebody sitting in the class is sending a text message to someone, and you're sitting right next to them sending a text message in class, is that Maru or Mancha? What is it mooncup? Because see the big signs that used to be here once upon a time, I don't know if they're still on the biters, no cell phones Allah. But anyway, you know, the rule, right?

So, if you stopped someone nicely, in a nice way, by just pointing your pencil towards that sign, right, or or pointing towards the Jews, for example, then are you forbidding that which is wrong? Yes.

If you know someone who is doing drugs, for example, is harming themselves their health ruining their life, then are you not supposed to stop them? You have to stop them.

Right? You have to get help for them. If you know that someone is making really bad financial decisions, really bad decisions or their family or personal decisions, and again, you have to stop them because if you leave them on their own, they're going to harm themselves. They're going to suffer. So we can hold on in Mongkok, they stop from indecent things from those things which are detestable. What will their ICA homomorphic li hun Allah says those who are their own, your own under hone those who call to goodness, those who command that which is right forbid that which is wrong. Such people are who homomorphic li Hone. They're the ones who are successful who are more

finely honed successful ones. What do things are included in Fela? One is Salamah and the other is gasp for law includes two things Salama, meaning you're saved from harm. And secondly, it includes CASP, meaning you earn that which is good. So you're safe from harm, and you get that which is good from zero. I didn't know what all the hell Jana Faqad says that whoever saved from the Hellfire Salama and admitted into Jana gasp for conifers than that person is successful. So Allah says

What would I count one more for your home? Those are the successful ones. Those are the ones who will be saved in the hereafter. Those are the ones who will get Jannah and reward. So if we want to be more clear on what do we have to do these three things, you had the Runa, Ill hired yet we're gonna build my roof in Hohner. And

then Allah says, well, otaku, and do not be like who can Lavina like those people who prefer Roku, they became divided. Don't be like those people who have become divided for Roku from the Federal Fair or have to split up to be separated from each other. And what an awful and the disagreed with each other. Now, again, differences do exist, does this mean that don't have any differences? If the laugh is the opposite of love, over here, if the laugh is the opposite of love, and the for rope, is the opposite of brotherhood of unity. So don't be like those people who tore apart from each other who separated from one another. So each, you know, made their own group, their own masjid, okay,

their own circle of friends. And then the farmer could even that they began to dislike others. You get the picture, that, for example, all of us are here, may Allah protect us. But if some of us say, No, we don't like the way classes are taught here, so you know what we're going to do? We're going to start our own classes. So they go start their own classes, and when they start their own classes, what has happened? The Federal division, okay? Then what happens? Then they say, You know what, we don't like that class and they talk bad about them. Each group talks bad about the other than this is what if they laugh, disunity, and hatred, division, Allah says don't be like such people who

divide up and then they differ so much that instead of loving your own brothers and sisters, you begin to dislike them, instead of working together the work is broken up, instead of working for the same mission efforts are divided. If five people are working together, will they not be more successful than one person working on his own? Yes, because when people are together, then a you have more manpower, be you have more resources, see you have more advice, right you have more support than D you have the Mercy of Allah. But how these tells us that he had Allah He focal Jamara, the Hand of Allah is above the Jamar is above the congregation, meaning when people work

together, when they are united, that Allah has special help and assistance is with them. And when their aim becomes competition, then what happens gradually, they dwindle away, gradually, their work comes to a stop

the head that people were being called to the benefit that was being given to people it stops. So then at the end, who suffers the entire Ummah suffers, who suffers? People suffer because of you? Because of us. So this is why well at Hakuna can Medina Tafadzwa Quwata for being united stay together, work for the same mission, work for the same goal.

When at the Kulu Kaladin at the federal Quwata for mimbar. The merger who will begin at after clear evidences have come to them. Who is this referring to? The bunny is for you. They were given knowledge, they were given the Kitab they were given guidance, but what happened what happened they divided up the separated from one another, which is why it's amazing that they believe in the same book. Yet they are different. For example, the hood, the masala there are different. They have the same book, The Old Testament, they all believe in it. But still we see that there is difference. There's disunity. Each group calls themselves differently. Right? Each book interprets the book

differently. So Allah says don't be like them, that they are different after the clear evidences came to them. What will equal a homer either win or Aleem and for such people is a great punishment for who? Who forget the mission who forget the goal, who forget the purpose, and they only remember themselves and they only remember what so and so said, and what so and so did and what so and so did not do. Their goal becomes themselves not the dean, not the Quran, not hedaya

You know, when your mission is the same when your goal is the same, then you can overlook, you can pardon the mistakes of the other individual. But when your goal is to have supremacy for yourself, if you're focused on your own self

Have that nobody say anything bad about me? Everybody praise me. Nobody criticize my work, then can you pardon? Can you forgive others? No, you cannot.

So Allah told us Don't be like such people who are forgotten the purpose. They're lost in their own pride and arrogance for such there will be a great punishment. Let's listen to these verses

one

more

go

well

what

are we?

What do we learn in these two verses? What came to your mind? Starting from the beginning was the Coleman come on Mattoon? Yeah, they're gonna, it'll hide? Well, what comes to your mind? Yes. So in this verse comes to mind is that, you know, we should want to wait for ourselves for the entire community, you know, and that is we shouldn't be selfish. That's one of the things that comes to mind. This is very true, that a believer, a Muslim can never be selfish.

You have to like for others what you like for yourself. And this is why when you like something for yourself, you will tell others about it too. You will not hide it from the rest of the people. If you're doing something good, and others are not doing it, they're being deprived of it, you cannot sleep unless they also find out unless they can also do it. Likewise, if somebody is doing something wrong, they're harming themselves again, you cannot be selfish and remain quiet over there and say it's their own business. A believer cannot be selfish.

Likewise, we see that as a community, we cannot be a selfish community. We should not be like a parasite community. This is a description that has been given to the Muslims, you know that, that we are like a parasite community that we suck and suck and suck, meaning we take benefit selfishly from the country, whatever country that we're in, whether it is welfare benefits, or health benefits, or education or whatever. But when it comes to giving back when it comes to contribution, then what are we contributing? Hardly anything and what's the excuse that we have? But we're Muslim. We can't do this. We can't do that. You had Aruna lol Hi, now you understand what hide means. So you have to

participate in this, you know, the Prophet salallahu Salam before he received prophethood there was a fact that the Mushrikeen of Makkah they had made the leaders and this fact was about, you know, making a firm promise that any visitor who comes to Morocco will be taken care off will be hosted in a good way. There are many things that were part of this fact it was about welfare about general goodness. And the Prophet sallallahu sallam said after prophethood that if he was given a chance to make such a pact again, he would do so.

But we see that we believe is if you're going to sponsor an orphan, it has to be a Muslim. If you're giving food it has to be at a masjid, if you're giving charity it has to be to a Muslim. And we forget about the rest of the human beings. The other owner elhaj, the other Runa means call who everybody? Everyone.

Very important point has been raised that when we are to benefit other people, then we also have to benefit each other, right? Those who are closer to us. But if someone's missing from the class, if someone's not there, like Yeah, it's their choice, their decision, but at least find out what if they're sick? What if they're unwell?

What if they didn't find a ride? What if you know something happened to their car, you know, at least find out that he's do something.

So sorry, I didn't complete my thought. Something actually that came to mind was when we want good for ourselves only it's not necessary that, you know, Allah subhanaw taala is going to be pleased with us, like there was this worshipper who would only be concerned about himself and he lived in a valley and he would only be concerned with what he was doing and he was surrounded by people who were involved in wrong. And so Allah subhanaw taala told, like, had him punched first in the valley and he said destroyed that valley where he is because if someone sees the wrong yet they don't stop others and they're more responsible.

I have a question actually. Because when we talk about Yama, Luna will Maru within the family and within the friends we always have people who are somehow I'm in use

see them doing something wrong, whether about their clothes or something like that, I mean, how to stop them any when you if you talk with them in a very subtle polite way, even then it leads to some kind of you know they feel offended and just because of that fear that they don't feel angry or offended, you feel hesitant to guide them at times. So, what should we do at that time? A very good question, which will be answered in a few minutes inshallah we will learn about the etiquette the proper way of doing a mobile maruf and now he and Monica in which inshallah I hope that all these questions will be answered. But before we get there a few lessons that we learn in these is first of

all, but the obligation of calling to head upon the OMA
