Taleem al Quran 2012 – P04 048B Tafsir Aal-e-Imran 110-112

Lesson before to you So earlier in one I remember 110 to 120

Quantum Hira omitting you are the best nation or collegiate leanness that has been produced for mankind. What do you do that Morona been Morrow Have you enjoyed what is right? What then? How? Norlin Mancha and you forbid that which is wrong with me? No and I've been and you believe in Allah

contem the word quantum gives the meaning of Anthem, meaning you are Muslim Ummah are higher on mutton. Apparently the word content Yes, it is a verb of past tense. But it doesn't mean you were the best nation. It means you are, you will be you shall be always because the word Kana doesn't necessarily give the meaning of past tense but it also gives the meaning of perpetuity of a sliver of an attribute that when an attribute is constant, so for example, in the Quran, we learn about the attributes of Allah, what can Allah who Allah fold over Hamer? If you translate it literally it will mean that Allah was forgiving and merciful. But is that what it means? No, it means that Allah is

Ever attributed with the attribute of forgiveness and mercy. So Allah was is will be always forgiving and merciful. What can Allahu Aziz and Hekima Okay, so likewise, quantum higher or mutton, you are, meaning you are really the best nation come to

the DIRECT address over here is to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and his companions, because they were the ones who were the first recipients of this idea. But remember, that the meeting is not just limited to them. It is applicable to the entire Ummah, that you are Muslim Ummah are higher on mutton, you are the best nation, the best people the best community. Why? Oh, could you Jacqueline nurse you have been produced for the people? Oh, can you jump from the root letters, Ka ra Diem from the word who Rouge which is to come out. And a hoarder you can do as Raj is not just when something comes out. The word is also used for production when something is produced when something is

created. Or when something comes into view. When something comes into view, when does something come into view when it rises up when it grows? For example, if a plant is very, very small at the beginning at the initial stages, Is it visible? Hardly. But once it grows, once it rises up, then it is visible from a very, very far place as well. Isn't that so? There's a place where we used to live in Pakistan and my sister, she put a seed of mango fruit, okay, in the backyard of the house. All right. And this was years and years and years ago. Now that I visited that house after maybe a decade or so, I saw that there was a huge mango tree, huge mango tree over there. Now when we were

there for as long as we were there, that tree that plant was hidden, but now that it has grown, it is visible from the end of the street. It is visible from a very far place. So likewise OHare Jacqueline NAS origin aflutter Euclidean meaning you have risen up you have grown you have come to be as the best nation Oh honey, Jacqueline, Nas you have been produced made to appear as you have been made to rise as the best nation. And we see that many nations have appeared in the past have risen in the past. But we see that the nations that have risen in the past were they really for the benefit of the people. If there was a nation, an empire that grew that rose that gained power, was

it for the benefit of people necessarily No. It was for their own, you know objectives for their own selfish gains for their establishment of power in order to secure more lands in order to secure more resources for themselves, not necessarily for the benefit of people. But we see that the Muslim ummah, Allah says about it, that you have gone to rise as the best nation, Lynas for the people, meaning for the benefit of people, you have not come to view you have not come to appear as a selfish nation, someone who's just concerned about their dunya to earn dunya and serve the dunya but in order to benefit mankind all of humanity at large

And if you think about it, someone is special, not because of what they own, not because of what they have for themselves. One is someone special when they benefit others, when they bring benefit to the community,

then they're valuable, then they are the best person. Recently, someone we know, passed away, and the whole community is remembering that individual, the whole community, everybody talks about that person, it's been over a month, but still the family is visited by friends and relatives, and even people when they do not know for condolences, because this one individual contributed so much helped so many people cared for so many people, that now that one person is gone, everybody remembers him. So, only gently nurse, you have been produced for the benefit of people you have been created, you have been given victory and supremacy not so that you enjoy this dunya but so that you benefit

people, and how do you benefit people, people can be benefited in many ways through many works of welfare, you know, people can be fed, they can be given housing, they can be given an education, many things can be done. But we see that the best deal that can be done, the best favor that can be shown to people is what that which is mentioned over here. And that is that Morona will maruf you command that which is good, by telling people about that which is good, so that they can do it. If you don't tell people what good is, can they do it? No. And notice the word marble, we have done this in detail earlier. It's that which is recognized as good by the intellect by the religion, by

the people mean people know it to be as good. So your job or Muslim OMA is that you order that which is good. And you can only order that which is good when you do it yourself. And at the same time, what then Hohner Anil Mancha and you forbid that which is wrong one called the exact opposite of model, meaning that which is known as wrong, it's rejected by the uncle, it's rejected by the law of Allah subhanaw taala. It's rejected by the people, meaning it's not acceptable at all. So you forbids such actions, you forbid such behavior with an Hohner annual Mancha. And what I mean when of Allah, and you also believe in Allah, you also believe in Allah. Now, there are many people who will

stand up for justice, who will condemn that which is wrong, many people will do that, whether or not they believe in Allah, right. But we see that what makes the Muslim ummah special, what makes the Muslim ummah better, is what we know in a villa, that you do all of this with iman. Because when a person does a good action with iman, then that good action will be accepted by Allah, then it will be rewarded, then that actually will benefit a person in this world and in the Hereafter. And when a person does a morbid Merovingian, and Wonka with iman, then he's not just helping the dunya of the people, meaning the worldly life of people. But he's also striving to make their alcohol better. You

know, what is that you're just concerned about the well being of a person in this life, that he's hungry, he doesn't have clothes, he doesn't have a house, he doesn't have a family. He doesn't have a job. He doesn't know any better. So you're concerned about them? Yes, very good.

But imagine on that day on the Day of Judgment, when people will come empty handed, naked and accompanied alone further all by themselves, then don't up to them when they will come in that state. That state is much more pitiful, because we know that on the Day of Judgment, no ransom will help a person. no friend, no intercession, nothing can help a person or family member can help unless and until Allah subhanaw taala allows. So yes, when people suffer in this world, we feel sorry for them. But if a person suffers in the Hereafter, then we should feel even more sorry for them. This is why that Morona will Maru with an Hohner Anil Mancha. You're not just concerned about

the dunya of the people you're concerned about the akhira of people and this is true sincerity. This is true well wishing.

What took me Nona Villa or whatever hotdog little de la noir and whom he said something very beautiful about this if he said that whoever wishes that he should be from this OMA meaning from the best nation, then he should fulfill the condition that Allah has laid concerning it.

Are we proud as Muslims that yeah, we are muslims are proud of being a Muslim. We are those on the truth. We have the right religion. We believe in the Quran. We're going to paradise. You know, we believe in Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam we

See this, you know, belief in the Muslims that we are the best nation? Isn't that so? This is something that's very common. But think about it, are we actually fulfilling the condition of being the best nation? We're very proud about our Muslim heritage, we're very proud about, you know, the Muslim scientists about the whole affair. Write about how the Muslims were victorious in so many battles in the past? How about how much they contributed to the well being of all people? Yes, we're very happy about that. But we need to look at ourselves. What are we doing? Are we fulfilling this condition?

Because what good is it to a person if his parents were good, and he is not good? If a person is just proud of the fact that yeah, my dad's a doctor, my mom's a doctor, but I haven't even done my undergrad. I haven't even finished high school. Does he have anything to be proud about? That person will still be viewed as a loser. So what if your parents are doctors? What are you it doesn't matter?

You have to do something yourself. So likewise, we cannot just be proud about the fact that we belong to the Muslim ummah, that we have the Quran, we have to do something ourselves to and what do we have to do that which is mentioned over here we have to fulfill the condition. And what is that? That maroon oven model? What then whole nine and Mancha? What took meaning of ALLAH, do that which is good yourself, tell others about it. Don't do wrong yourself and stop others from a do and believe in Allah, Willow em Anna Hello kitab. And if the people of the book had believed, meaning the Jews and the Christians if they had believed in who, in Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam in the Quran,

like Anna hieronder home, if they believed, if they accepted Amen, if they became Muslim, it will be much, much better for them much better for them than what they're not believing. Much better for them, then remaining on their disbelief and especially for those from the people of the book, when they believe that their Iman is actually the best decision that they could ever make in their life. In a hadith we learn and the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, a human or Julie min el Kitabi, Ehrman had been a biggie, ermine OB fella who agilon that any person from the People of the Book who believes in his messenger so for example, believes in Musar listen and believes in our SRL acela and

then also believes in Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and then for that individual there is double reward. Double reward.

So when I am Anna Hello keytab like gonna hide on the home if they had believed it would have been much better for them. Men home will make me known from them. There are some believers, meaning some of them yes, they did believe but work through homall fasciae cone, but the majority of them what is the reality there are facets. There are sinful there are disobedient and facet over here does not just mean sinful and disobedient it gives a meaning of coffered meaning they are disbelieving. Because remember that fiscal is of two levels, one is minor and the other is major. One is that a person believes but yeah, he commit sins here and there. And the other is major, meaning he crosses

the main limit. So he exits the fold of Islam, meaning he's not a Muslim at all. So some of the people of the Book Yes, they did believe, but the majority of them they remained as disbelievers. Why are the People of the Book mentioned over here? Before the Muslim ummah, who was the nation that was chosen by Allah, Soprano, Florida, the people of the book, they were the ones that were chosen, well, I'm the first one to come on an island mean, they were chosen. And why were they chosen to do the same thing that the Muslims have been told to do? To believe in Allah to command that which is right to forbid that which is wrong, but what did the Al Kitab do the exact opposite. So as a

result, that blessing was taken away from them and given to someone else and those people Allah says quantum higher on math and you have proven to be the best nation because of the work that you do.

Let's listen to the recitation.

To meet

me

so in this IRA, what do we learn that the Muslim ummah is the best nation?

We see that every nation every group of people, they

claim to be the best. Every person even claims to be the best. I'm the best. I'm the best. Have you heard that? Have you said that? Perhaps many times. So every person, every group believes that they are the best. But we see that Allah subhanaw taala, the creator of all the center of the prophets, He tells us who the best nation is, and why they are the best nation who's the best nation, the Muslim ummah, and how and why are they the best nation? How did they prove to be the best people? First of all, because of Allah subhanaw taala has many many blessings upon them. We see that this ummah has been blessed with many things such as the best Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was

sent. Likewise, we see that the best law the most moderate, the most practical Deen has been given. Likewise, we see that the Ummah turn was upon moderate Nishan right free from extremes. We see that the deen was completed perfected deen is easy. It is simple guidance in every matter.

And then secondly, it is the best nation because of the benefit that the Muslim ummah brings to mankind. How through Mr. Bill Maher off and now here Anil mancha like I mentioned earlier, throughout history, many nations have risen, the rise today they prosper today, but it's not necessarily for the benefit of mankind. Rather, it is for their own personal selfish objectives, worldly reasons, if the Muslim woman rises, if the Muslim woman has power, if a Muslim if a believer has some strength has some authority, then he will not use it to benefit himself only he has to he must benefit others, which is why we see a simple thing as a god when a person has a little bit of

money even okay of a certain amount. He has it sitting for a year that he can't just keep it to himself, he has to take a percentage out of that and give to the poor and the needy. So bass nation in this manner benefit that has to be given to the people. And we see that it is because of iman Villa it is because of Amma been murdered it is because of nature and Mongkok, the Muslim ummah is the best nation. Because when a person does this work, that he is telling people to good he's forbidding them from wrong, then this means that such a person will never accept mediocrity, he will never accept lesser standards, he will always do the best you will expect better. Because you don't

accept that which is wrong, you will stop someone if they're doing something wrong. You know, something as small as if someone has left their garbage on the table, this shoe, right? Kleenex on the floor on the carpet, then no hidden one color means that if you see them doing that, you have to stop them. So when you will enforce the rules, whether it is of cleanliness, okay, or anything else, then what are you striving for? For improvement, you are aiming for better results, you won't settle with less, you won't be content with mediocrity, you will expect better. And we see that this is the reason why. In the golden Islamic age, we see the muscles we're constantly contributing to the

welfare of people. If you look at it in history, many inventions were there, right? discoveries and inventions. And all of a sudden, there was a gap of 1000 years when you look at other cultures, other civilizations, and then you see more people who are coming up with inventions and discoveries, those 1000 years that are missing, who was doing the work at that time, it was the Muslims. It was the Muslim scientists discovering things like coffee. Yes, it was a Muslim person who discovered the coffee bean, who had it himself who brought it in for trade and like that coffee has spread all over the world.

When you look at surgical tools, even you know where they came from, from a Muslim surgeon in Baghdad, he's the one who used to perform surgeries. So yes, many things Muslims have done to benefit humanity. Public libraries were invented in Spain university, there was a woman who established the first university. So contemplado Martin, you are the best nation. And this tells us that Allah subhanaw taala expects more from us. So please, when Allah has given you some skills, some knowledge, some ability to just sit with that, do something grow, contribute, but unfortunately, when we have that skill, when we have the ability, we say, Oh, I'm a woman, what can

I do? I don't have that confidence, I have to be modest, I have to sit at home and do nothing, no.

While observing the commands of Allah subhanaw taala still you can contribute, you can learn, you can do a lot you can achieve a lot. So quantum haoma when when you do honorable maruf nahiN and mancha when you believe in Allah subhanaw taala. Then we see in this ayah that the Sahaba the companions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam

They were the best of the best people. Because who is being addressed in this ayah first of all, the Companions condemned you. So the Sahaba were not just the best nation, they were the best of the best nation. This is why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said hydrocone Nee sama Medina via Luna home, that the best of my nation is my generation, then those who will come after them, and then those who will come after them. And this is the reason why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Do not abuse my companions don't say anything negative about them. For if any of you were to spend gold equal to the amount of or hurt in charity, it would not equal a handful of one of them or even half of that we

could give a mountain of golden charity, but it can never be the same in reward as the handful of dates that are companion but

for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. Why? Because they were the best nation. What they did was really the best it's because of their efforts, their sacrifice, that we are Muslim,

that we are benefiting at so many levels.

Then we also learn in this ayah that what makes the Muslim nation best Is there a marble maroof and urine one cup and their email,

the Bani Israel eel before they were obligated with this responsibility, but Allah subhanaw taala told us about them and sort of met either I 7879 that Lorena Medina Kufa, Roman Bani Israel, il le Sanita woodware II suddenly Mario then it could be MMA, so what can we do that the Bani Israel they were cursed by who that would and eastern Sudan. Why? Because of their disobedience and they're crossing limits? Can you lay it on a Hohner mancha in Farah Lu, they would not stop from the wrong that they themselves were doing. So if they will do wrong themselves, and be they would not stop others from wrong either.

So don't just be happy about the fact that you are of the Muslim ummah, no, you have to fulfill the condition as well. You have to do right and command right, you have to stay away from wrong and forbid wrong. And if we don't do that, then we are not the best people. We are not the best nation. So we have no right to be proud of being Muslims. It is not right.

Then thirdly, we also learn that as long as we fulfill this condition, we are the best nation and when we do not, then we are not the best nation

Kuntum Kira of mutton, when you are the best nation, Allah who will honor you. But if you don't fulfill the condition, then what will happen, that honor will be taken away from you. We complain so much about how the Muslims are suffering today at every level, it's because we're not performing our basic our primary responsibility, our primary obligation, we just go and agree with everything and everyone just to make everybody happy. And so we don't even know what is right and what is wrong, just to be acceptable. And just to please others. This is what we do. There's no right there's no wrong limits of Allah are being crossed. But we don't want people to get offended. We don't want

people to think we are rude. No, you can tell them in a nice way as well. Then we also learn in this ayah that the more a person engages in this noble work, the more he grows in his rank in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala meaning the more and more when Marilou Natan Moncada person does, the more honored, the better you will be in the sight of Allah. Because when a person does this, then his focus is what Islam, Betterment improvement of himself, and also of others.

Then, we also learned over here that we have the choice of being either of the best people, or turning away from that.

We have the choice, we have the right to make that decision. Either we can be Muslims and be the best Muslims and be the best nation. Or we can say no, I don't want to be of the best people. I don't want to be of the best nation. I don't want to be doing what the best people do. But we learned that some faces will be dark on that day and other faces will be ready and the choice is ours. The Sahaba did their work. They reached their success, their heights, the people after them also they did their best. But what are we doing? We are very happy about our history. We are very proud about the Muslim accomplishments. But really few years later, our children our descendants,

what will they be proud of?

What will they be proud of really think about it? What are we worse? What kind of an impression Are we leaving in this dunya today? What work are we leaving behind? What legacy Are we leaving behind ourselves that our children are happy about us? They're proud of us? Our grandchildren? They remember us and they think that yes, my grandmother was like this or my grandfather was like

Then what are we doing? We want to be known for our beauty want to be known for our good makeup skills or our collection of amazing bags or purses or shoes or whatever, but this is duniya this will remain this will become outdated.

We have to see that what benefit are we bringing to people? Oh, the Jacqueline NASS, you have been produced for the benefit of people. If you benefit, then you are good. And if you don't, if you just suck, take, benefit yourself and don't benefit others, then you are not the best nation. So the choice is ours.

The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, there will always remain a group of people from among this ummah, until the day of judgment, who would invite to good and forbid what is wrong? Until the day of judgment, this work will continue. But we have to ask ourselves, are we a part of this group?

Are we doing this? Are we have the best nation?

Or are we settled with mediocrity and lesser standards? And we think it's okay. When it comes to dunya. Do we ever say that? Yeah, it's okay. I'm okay the way I am I don't want to improve. No, we always want to improve, which is why if a person is aging, then they're looking for solutions to make their skin look younger. Right? If a person has a problem, they want to fix it. When it comes to beauty when it comes to physical things when it comes to material things we're so concerned. But when it comes to our deen, we have to be equally concerned if not more

liable will come in the other. They will never harm you except for a slight hurt. Over here, Allah subhanaw taala is comforting the believers when a person does um have been murdered in the hero Mancha, then will there be a backlash? Yeah, will he suffer some kind of opposition? Definitely. The Prophet sallallahu sallam, when he did a morbid model of when he didn't hit him longer than what happened. He was pelted with stones. He was ridiculed in public, he was harassed, he was insulted. He was physically hurt. He had to go through a lot, but he didn't give up because he had well wishing for people. Likewise, if we take this work seriously, if we really want good for people,

then we cannot stop. We have to continue telling them about good we have to continue stopping people from wrong creating this awareness. But when you will do that you will suffer. So Allah subhanaw taala comforts the believers that laying in the room.

They meaning the Yehuda and anisopliae who will get up who did not believe the majority of whom remain disbelievers. They can never hurt you, they can never harm you in that except other or there is a slight harm, a slight injury a small one.

So yes, they will be able to harm you in some way. But how much will that be? Only a little bit. In other words, your opponents, your enemy can never completely destroy you. Your enemy can never completely exterminate you. They can hurt you a little bit through their words, their schemes, their lies, their false accusations, whatever. But can they completely absolutely destroy you know, they cannot.

Primarily the site is referring to the hood of Medina because they were the ones who were living there. And they were the ones from whom the Muslims would suffer every now and then

you know, they would come up with some scheme some plot to harm the Muslims. So Allah subhanaw taala is comforting them that they can't hurt you except just a little bit so don't worry about what they say about what they do what you call it local and remember that if these people were to fight you from a little cough darlin then you are looking will develop then they will turn to you their backs meaning they will run away from you, turning their backs towards you. So medallions are on and then they will not be held about deplore love double which is used for back. And this is a reality that that you heard of Medina, they were extremely wealthy, very well off, well fortified well protected.

They were people who have great military might. But despite all that they never had the courage to come face to face to Muslims in battle. They never had that strength. They never had that ability to really come face to face with Muslims and battle. The Muslims fought many battles with the machine. But when it came to the hood, there was no battle that was face to face. There was only that the hood locked themselves up in the fortresses and defended themselves and eventually they gave up they resigned. But this is a reality where you caught the local your local EarthBox or Milan Salone. Then they will not be helped. Because over here we see that the hood apparently they were very well off.

But in their hearts they were disunited. Allah says Dar Salam Jamia and what Kulu boom shatta you think that they're together?

but in reality their hearts are disunited, which is why the previous verses again and again we were told to stay far away from disunity because disunity, what does that do? It creates weakness. When people are divided, then they become cowards, then they don't have courage. Because if they cannot trust one another, then how can they come together for a greater cause? They cannot. Can they defend themselves at large? No. Can they together achieve something? No, they cannot. Why? Because they're disunited amongst themselves. So we see that this is the reason why Allah subhanaw taala reassures the Prophet salallahu Salam that don't worry about them, they're disunited, they cannot harm you.

And this shows to us that as Muslims, we have to remain united. We have to remain united. We have to do what Allah subhanaw taala has told us to do. Because if we're not fulfilling our duty, and we get lost in other things, then Allah subhanaw taala tells the Prophet salallahu Salam that in Alladhina, Farah Covina who can who Sharon, less than whom vishay, those people who have divided the religion and become intercepts into groups, then you will Prophet sallallahu Sallam are not associated with them in anything, then such people will not get the help of Allah. You know, we say that how can we don't get the help of Allah today? The Sahaba did but why don't we get the help? Why? Because there

is a difference in how the Sahaba were and how we are. They did what brought the help of Allah and we are not doing something that brings the help of Allah. And what is it that we are neglecting our primary responsibility of Islam, of correcting ourselves, of correcting one another correcting the community, we are lacking in this.

Like it was mentioned earlier, that knowledge information there are different if a person has a lot of information, but it's not benefiting him that a computer is more valuable than him. Because then that person is just like a donkey carrying books. So it's not just about learning and learning and learning. It's about applying. It's about doing because unless we do that we cannot get the help of Allah, our situation cannot get better. Whether we are suffering in our family lives, or we are suffering at a larger level at a community level. We need to fulfill our basic obligations to deserve the help of Allah Subhan Allah

and if we're neglecting our responsibilities than the help of Allah who will not be there. Allah says about the hood, those who divided up their religion, those whose hearts are disunited, Allah says about them booty but are laying him with Villa villa. Humiliation has been struck upon them booty but from BB which is to strike over here doesn't literally mean strike, but it means it has been put on them so that they cannot get away from it. It has been laid on them, do rebut or lay him within what is the humiliation and it's basically when someone's honor is taken away from them so that they are brought down. They're insulted and humiliated in the sight of people. So humiliation

has been stuck to them. They have been laid under humiliation by who, who has taken away their honor from them. Allah subhanaw taala so they do a lot to earn respect. But every time they gain some respect Allah subhanaw taala builds it away from them booty butter, I laid him within to a&m So people wherever they were found so people from South Hoffa, it gives us two meanings. One is wherever they're overtaken. And secondly, wherever they're found, meaning wherever they exist in the world, any place they go to any place, they take refuge in who the Calcutta that wherever they are, wherever they may be in this world, what happens? They are struck by humiliation, their honor, is

stripped away from them. Why? What's the reason? Because they do not do a mobile maruf and the handle

and if we Muslims don't fulfill our responsibility, then the same will happen with us too. We can be very proud about the fact that yes, we are Muslims. But if we don't do what we're supposed to do, then honor will be taken away from us as well.

Then a person does not respect it in his own house, in his own homeland.

In a place where he should deserve respect even there he doesn't get respect. Why? Because our will Morrow never hated Wonka or lacking so ludie But our lay him with the lotto a universal people in the except meeting the only way they can deserve honor is how Ellerbee heavily min Allah will hobble him in a nurse except through

Hubble from Allah or Hubble from people, what does have, what is Hubble rope? A means of achieving something. Right hobble a rope is basically a means through which you gain something you attain your purpose, your goal.

Now what is the rope of Allah over here? It refers to

the deen of Allah.

So anywhere they are in this world, they suffer from humiliation unless they turn to the deen of Allah, unless they turn to Allah seeking His protection, seeking His help.

And this is true. When a person turns to Allah and his connection with Allah becomes stronger than what will happen, then what will happen, Allah will honor him,

Allah will honor him. And when a person's connection with Allah is weak, then he is without any honor.

There are people who may not have any worldly thing that people appreciate because of which people respect others, you know, such as beauty or wealth or worldly education, worldly degree or what, but still, they are honorable. Why? Because Allah has honored them. And why has Allah honored them because they turn to Allah because they are holding on to the rope of Allah. Ellerbee heavily him May Allah

or what happened him in a nurse or in Iraq from people, meaning the only way they can survive somewhere is if they have some connection with people a strong bond with people meaning if they make a treaty effect, or something with people. So in other words, on their own, they cannot survive. Either they survive under Allah's protection, or they survive under People's Protection.

Well, that will be above him in Allah, and they have returned with the anger of Allah meaning they have incurred the anger of Allah upon themselves. Why? A lot of is anger. Why do you get angry at someone just like that for nothing that they have done? No, when someone has done something seriously wrong, then you become angry with them and hold them in particular as such kind of anger that translates into, you know, taking some kind of action against the one whom you're angry with. So in other words, it's such anger that turns into inflicting punishment, taking retribution. So abet will be held on women Allah, they have incurred the anger of Allah mean the punishment of Allah

upon themselves why, because of the wrong that they have been doing? Well duty but there are lay him will miss Ghana, and Miss Ghana, poverty dependence has also been struck upon them, meaning wherever they are, no matter what situation, they are always for mascara, mascara from the rule ever seen Caf known. And mascara is such poverty in which a person has the desire to have more. He's always wanting more. He wants his money to grow and increase and double. And he has buckled as well, he is stingy as well. So on the one hand, a person wants his money to increase. And on the other hand, he is stingy. And muscular is basically when a person is so poor at heart that no matter how much he

has, he always feels that it is less

than even if he has a closet full of clothes. He will think he doesn't have clothes. Or she will think she doesn't have any new clothes. That a person has a house or a car or job, you know, food, but still he feels I have no money. I don't have this, I don't have that this has must gonna. So if you think about it, mascara is what kind of poverty, poverty of the heart that even when a person has, he wants more, he thinks what he has is not sufficient.

You know, like they say less is always more. It's the exact opposite with such a person that more is always less, more is always less for him. He wants more he feels he is poor. And if you think about it, the majority of the people suffer from this today. Majority of the people suffer from this poverty today. That no matter what we have, we're not happy. We always want more. You know, if we have a smaller house, we want a bigger house. If we have one car we want another car.

Right? If we've taken a trip to one country, we want to go to another country. Isn't that so? If we have, you know one refrigerator, we want another one for the basement. Right? If we have one pair of glasses, we

One another pair Justin gives the first one breaks. Right? If we have one computer, we also want a laptop. We have one telephone we also need a mobile phone. I mean yes, things are different today when your work demands that that's a different story. But we see that our list of demands never ends.

Our wish list has no end to it. This is masculina

that even though we are so well off, Allah has blessed us with so many things. Instead of counting our blessings, we're counting those things which we don't have. ludie But are they just gonna and when a person is suffering from mascara, then what is his goal? Dunya what is his worry? Dunya what brings him happiness? Dunya What is he a slave to this dunya if he loses something of this dunya he is miserable if he gets something of this dunya he is so excited that it's as if he has reached the moon

so Myskina poverty what Believe it or leave him on mascara. Mascara has been inflicted on these people. Why that he could be unknown that is because they used to can we look for gonna be it like they used to disbelieve in the verses of Allah and the Bani Israel they were known for this famous for this infamous for this rather we see that right at the beginning most artists and and rescued them from the torture for their own and when they crossed the sea they saw people worshipping idols and what did they say yeah Musa era Luna Isla and Komodo Alia or Musa make first God this like these people have Gods we want an idol to and when Musa listen and went to the Mount to get the Torah What

did they do? They made an idol for themselves isn't that disbelief of the Ayat of Allah. Allah is the one who saved them for their own was drowned in front of them the sea was parted for them. The food was sent to them in the desert man and Salwa

springs were gushed out for them from the rock. So many blessings so many I had but what was your attitude of gopher Valley could be under home can we look for gonna be ayatullah? So the Schofer of the Ayat of Allah that a person knows about what Allah has commanded, he sees the blessings of Allah, yet he doesn't change himself. And this leads to what must Ghana poverty, poverty of the heart, weigh up to Luenell Ambia ability health, and they used to kill the profits without any right meaning pure injustice. Obviously, killing a profit would be absolute injustice, because the person can never have the right to kill a prophet of Allah. You could only kill someone who deserves to be

killed, meaning deserves to be punished in that way. And for that he has to have committed a severe crime. And it can never be expected that a prophet of Allah would commit such a crime. So way up to Luenell on behalf of the lady help, and what led them to this, that they dare to kill the prophets of Allah, that he could be marrow. So that is because they used to disobey, what can we are doing and they used to transgress also from OCN, or in Saudia to disobey the command and yard to do and from that do not care about the limits, and to do whatever a person wants to do. So we see that over here a chain reaction of sins, a chain reaction of sins, notice that it could be unknown, then it

could be unknown, right this is because they used to this is because they used to. So a chain reaction of wrong initiated by what what started this chain reaction? What started it what's mentioned at the end, Valley crema also what can we don't sin disobedience? When a person sins? When a person disobey is, then what happens? If somebody tells him not to do that? Does he like it? No. So even if the prophet of Allah were to tell him, do not do that wrong, Will he listen? No.

He will go to the extent of even killing the prophet, and he will go to the extent of opposing the truth denying the truth, even though it's a reality yet he will not accept it. So we see that sin leads to greater sin. One sin leads to another, it leads to greater sin. And this is what brings the downfall the decline of a person of an individual of a community of a nation.

It begins from what disobedience to Allah subhanaw taala the history of Bani Israel is summarized over here, that how Allah gave them so much, but how they declined, how they suffered. Why? Because of all of these crimes are mentioned over here. So we need to look at ourselves. These Ayat are not just to condemn the annual Kitab desire others so that we learn from them and change our behavior.

They did wrong themselves. Forget about stopping wrong they did wrong themselves. This lead took off this led to Cottle of the profit

It's this lead to catalog the righteous people. This develop poverty in their hearts love for this world

not striving for the year after forgetting the year after. And as a result, they are unprotected in this dunya unprotected unless they turn to Allah for the take refuge with people. If they don't turn to Allah, they don't take refuge from people they have nothing. They're struck by humanity.

So, in these ayat is a great lesson. That as Muslims, Allah subhanaw taala has given us an obligation that we do good ourselves and we tell others to we don't do bad ourselves and we stop others as well. And if we don't fulfill this obligation, then what will happen? Suffering and decline, poverty and misery and humiliation?
