Taleem al Quran 2012 – P04 050B Tafsir Aal-e-Imran 144-145

Lesson number 50 pseudo earlier and one I 144 to 155.

The verses that inshallah we're going to study today are a continuation of the commentary on the events that happened at the Battle of ahead, you know, that the battle of are heard, it was fought soon after the Prophet sallallahu sort of migrated to Medina very soon after the Battle of butter. And we know that at the beginning, the Muslims were victorious. And soon their victory turned into defeat. And this is understandable that if you have something and then you lose it, or if you are winning, and then you lose, all of a sudden, you were doing really good throughout the year, but when the test game you did so bad, you failed, it is something that shakes you. It is something that

disturbs you. And you have to reflect on what went wrong, so that you can fix the mistakes. So the believer when he suffers a difficulty, he doesn't just get sad and upset and move on. No, he goes back he reflects, learns lessons, and then moves on. So for a believer, every incident, every failure, every victory, every success is what something to derive lessons from, which is why it is beneficial for him. So at the Battle of or had what happened, the Prophet salallahu Salam had instructed certain companions to stay on their posts and not move at all. Why because they were basically guarding the Muslim army from behind. But when they saw that the machine were fleeing the

battlefield, they thought that they were victorious. And what happened then they left their spots, their positions, and they went in order to join the rest of the Muslims in the field to celebrate the victory to get a hold off the war booty. And what was the instruction of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam gave them that do not move at all until I allow you until I tell you. So this was a major mistake on their part. And then what happened when Khalid bin Walid, it was a mistake at that point, when he saw that that area was free, meaning that the Muslims were unprotected, he gathered up his people, and they attacked for Muslims. Now when they attack the Muslims, first of all, the attack

was a huge surprise for them. So they weren't ready for it. They weren't mentally prepared for it, which is why many Muslims, they were immediately killed. Why? Because when you're not ready, you don't even have your weapon on your hand, you were not expecting something, then what happens, you can't defend yourself, you cannot attack. So like this, all of a sudden machine came with great force, killing the Muslims. And they were making their way basically through the Muslim army towards the back, because that is where the Prophet salallahu Salam was. So imagine the Muslim army, and they are basically fighting them, fighting them, killing them, putting them down in order to get to

the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and many great Sahaba, including the uncle of the Prophet saw a lot of synonyms out of widow or new, even he was killed at this time. And many other companions were killed, almost 70 companions were killed. So what happened was that at this point on the weekend, were coming in some Muslims were being killed other Muslims, when they saw what was happening, they fled, they ran away. Now you might say, how could they do that? Well put yourself in that position. If you see someone coming for your life, and you're not ready, what would you do? Run? Escape, right? And this was right at the beginning, meaning it was only the second battle that the Muslims

were fighting. So they did not know all of the rules of Batman at that time. So they said, You know what, defend yourself run away. So many of them ran away. And as they were running away, the profit sort of understanding was calling a layer above the law. I am here are servants of Allah, come back, where are you going? So he was trying to reorganize them. But what was happening, the Muslims were running away, in order to save their lives. So what happened that the prophets of Allah Addison was left with only about you can say, 20 people around him, and they're the machine are coming in order to get to him. And all those Muslims, one by one, they were falling, because as someone would

attack, the Prophet saw a lot of them. A believer would come in the way in order to protect the Prophet, so a lot is in order to defend him. So one by one, literally, the Muslims were falling. And amongst them were not just men, but also some women. You know, there were female companions, who came along the Muslim army not to participate in the battle, per se, but to help the wounded to give water to the thirsty, this is why they had come. So one of the women she was Oh, my mother, she had also come, and remotely no one who he said that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told him that in the Battle of Warhol, wherever he turned whether to the right or to the left, he saw our motto fighting

to defend him because he

Almost again attacking from all sides the profits or loss look this way. Oh, my motto would be here he would look the other way. Omata would be there. Can you imagine how courageous that woman must have been? And later on in her life, a woman saw a deep wound on her shoulder, a deep wound on her shoulder. And when she asked that what happened? If you see a huge wound on someone, you would inquire that how did you get this? So when she was asked, she said that even Kobe attacked me on the day of or heard, and this person, even Kibera what he did was that he came running right to where the profits on a lot of selling was. And he asked where is Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam because he

just wanted to attack him. I'll read to you the incident from this book, which is Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam his life based on the earliest sources by Martin things. He says, the enemy gradually began to gain the ground they had lost in the little group around the Prophet sallallaahu Salam, the supply of arrows would soon be finished. And in any case, it seemed that the time for archery was running out. If the enemy continued to advance every sword would soon have to be unsheathed for a final hand to hand conflict with an average of four pagans against every believer, because remember, many Muslims had runaway and many had died. Until then suddenly, a single horseman

came in from the side and made straight for where the Prophet salallahu Salam was standing. Where is Mohammed he shouted may not survive if he survives. It was even Camira or kumara a min of one of the outskirt clans of Qureshi who had already made such Lotter amongst the Muslims. With a quick glance at the group, his sharp I recognized his intended victim and urging on his horse he brought down his sword in a blow, which he was sure no helmet could resist. But Baja Radi Allahu anhu, who was standing next to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam threw himself in the direction of the sword, and was somehow able to deflect the blow a little at the expense of losing the use of the fingers of one of

his hands for the rest of his life. The blade narrowly missed the crown of the Prophet salallahu Salem's helmet and glanced off the side of it grazing his temple driving to have the helmet rings into his cheek. So imagine, do have the helmet rings got into his cheek and finally with its force somewhat spent, striking his W mailed shoulder. The shock against the side of his head momentarily stunned him and he fell to the ground, whereupon his assailant withdrew as quickly as he had come. And avoids perhaps that even Camilla himself was hurt to shout. Mohammed is slain. When he saw the Prophet salallahu Salam fell, even Camilla or someone else. They shouted out Muhammad salallahu

Salam is dead he has been killed. And the cry was taken up all over the field interspersed with glorification of Rosa and her worlds in which diggin when they heard the started glorifying their idols, because they thought they were victorious because they had eventually killed the prophets all along. The cliffs of Earth resounding and the Muslims who had fled were overcome with self reproach and sorrow, while many of those who were still fighting in the plane, lost heart and withdrew from the strife as best they might. So those who were already in the mountains taking refuge, they felt so guilty, they were overcome with sorrow, and those who were still in the battlefield. They wanted

to give up, they said, What's the point of fighting now. But there were many exceptions. And one of these was earnest the son of novel, unnecessarily Allahu Anhu. And us came upon two of his fellows for whom life seemed to have lost its meaning. Because imagine hearing the news the Prophet salallahu Salam has been killed. So to Sahaba they were just sitting, and it seemed as though life had lost all its meaning, and who could bring themselves neither to continue fighting, nor to climb the ascent to safety. They didn't want to fight. They said, there's no point in taking refuge, forget it. So he asked, Why do you sit here? The Messenger of Allah has been slain, they said, then

what will you do with life after him? Meaning he said that, okay, if he has been killed, and what are you going to do with life after him, said, Rise and die, just as he did get up and fight and if you die better for you, just don't sit here doing nothing.

And then he set off for where the fight was the thickest. But soon after the Prophet saw a lot of Saddam got up, and the machete came by that time, they had already left the battlefield, because they figured there was no point in fighting the rest of the Muslims because they had basically achieved their main target and the rest of the people live and let leave them. So the most sticking recipe they gathered up and they left the battlefield and the prophets on a longer Sunday.

And he got up. And what happened, that he ascended the mountain with the rest of the companions. And when the Companions who were up on the mountain taking refuge, when they saw the Prophet sallallahu Sallam coming, they were overcome with joy.

Now, imagine the sorrow the grief that they must have felt up to this point. Okay? The guilt, the regret. When they saw the profits allotted to them alive, everything was fine, all of a sudden, you see the benefit? Doesn't it happen with you that when you're going through huge problems, all of a sudden one thing goes right and you forget every problem, you forget every failure. So the Muslims were relieved, they were very happy. The prophets Allah lawless, and when took refuge on the mound, or the rest of the Muslims also came there. There was a conversation that took place between the Mushrikeen and the Muslims within Tala, we'll talk about later. But what happened with the Muslims,

they actually arrested. They actually slept for some time. They took a nap. And this was a means of alleviating their fear and also they were reenergized. And then they dealt with the aftermath of the battle. So let's look at these verses are the blameless Shalonda rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. Allah subhanaw taala says women Mohamed El Illa rasool Allah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not but a messenger, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who was he? Even Abdullah Ibn Abdul Muttalib al Quraishi al Hashimi Houghton will Ambia the seal of the prophets. Muhammad was his name and what does it mean? The one who is praised, who is he praised by, by people, by the angels, by

Allah subhanaw taala himself, he is praised by those who believe in Him and also those who reject him. Why, because of his praiseworthy characteristics. So Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah says, He is not Illa Rasool except a messenger. And a messenger is who a human being. A messenger is who a human being because Allah always sent what kind of messengers human messengers

are the 100 men probably who Russell, messengers have passed before him, meaning many messengers came before him. They lived the course of their respective lives, and eventually they left they died, they passed away a natural death, or they were assassinated. They were killed, like the Bani Israel eel. They killed many prophets of Allah, didn't they? We have learned about this earlier way up to Luna and the beginner behind it help. So the messengers before they came, they live their respective lives and at the end, they passed away called the Holloman public universal. So what does this mean? That Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam also is a messenger? And when he has completed the course

of his life, what will happen? He too will die he do passed away just like the previous messengers did. But Allah asks us a question. FM a matter

did does if further then in if FM in if then Mata he died, meaning the Prophet salallahu Salam, if you were to die, oh Padilla or he was to be killed? What's the difference between mode and Patil? Mode is when a person dies, you can say a natural death without the cause of another human being meaning no human being caused his death. Okay, a natural death and what's cuttle when a human being causes his death? So for example, a person kills another that is what so after a murder Aquila, if he dies a natural death or he is killed in collaborator, Miranda or Kaweco? Would you turn back on your heels? Meaning would you leave Islam and go back to the ways of Jamelia? Would you leave your

mission and give up? Would you worship Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam or do you worship Allah? This is the question over here. If you worship Allah, then you have to worship Him, whether someone is alive or dead, whether someone is here or is gone. And if you worship Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, then what will happen? You will only be righteous until he is alive and when he is gone, then you would give up. Why was this I revealed? Like I mentioned to you earlier when it was rumored that the Prophet SAW Allah Salam has been assassinated. Many Muslims lost courage. They gave up. They said there's no point in going on. There is no point in the life that we're living. They gave up. And it

happens with people sometimes that the death of one member of the family, a spouse, a child, a parent, a cousin, a relative, a good friend. The death of one person is such a

Law to some people that they think there's no meaning left to life anymore. But Allah asks us that, look, he was a human being, he was meant to die anyway, just because he has died. Does it mean that you leave your deen? Does it mean that you leave your obligations, your duty to Allah? No, Allah is still alive. Allah is still a hate, He is Ever Living, he does not die.

So yes, we do suffer from many losses in life. But that does not mean there is no meaning left life anymore. No, life is still meaningful. Life is still purposeful, you will be sad. But remember, you are still a servant of Allah, you are hurt. But remember, there are other things in life that Allah has given you too. I'm not saying that the problem is not that big, that the loss is not big, it is great, we accept it we acknowledge that. But at the same time, we must not forget other things that Allah has blessed us with affair imita oppo de la in collaborative manner are called pico will you turn into unbelief? Will you leave Islam? Now the death of the Prophet sallallahu sallam was

certainly a great blow for the Muslims. Why? Because who was he? He was after all Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam the Prophet of Allah, someone who was very, very beloved to them. And the death of a person who was beloved to you is a great loss anyway. And the death of the Prophet saw a lot of sin for the Sahaba was very great. So hearing this news caused them great grief and sorrow. And secondly, Muhammad Sallallahu sallam was who he was their leader. He was their leader. When the leader is gone, when the main person is gone, the anchor is gone. Then what happens? Everyone seems to lose their morale. Correct. Everyone seems to lose their courage. They say what's the point?

What's the point in going on? There's no point there's no meaning of life anymore. But Allah reprimands the believers that just because he has died or he he has been killed, it does not mean that you turn away on your heels. And notice the word in a laboratory Allah or Klobuchar infant up to Mr. McAuliffe. Lamba. An accomplice deplore law active archivists heal the end of the foot, and just imagine turning back on the foot and walking away in that manner, is that a normal way of walking?

On your heels? Is this a normal way of walking? If a person is walking on their heels, can they maintain balance? Not at all, they can fall anytime. Likewise, the one who turns back from the religion turns his back to Allah, then he cannot maintain balance, meaning he is not upon the truth anymore. He is upon falsehood, and sooner or later he is going to meet his destruction in a legitimate manner or become this is a question that Allah is asking us. And this is a reprimand Would you turn back? No, you must not turn back. You are not allowed to, you have to remain firm on the religion. Because remember, that the design of the prophethood of a messenger of Allah is not

just until his death, meaning you're not just obligated to believe in a messenger and follow him until he dies. No, you are to believe in Him and follow Him even after his death. Until when? Until when are you to follow Him until the next messenger comes. Okay? Until the next messenger comes, you are still supposed to follow the previous messenger, follow his footsteps, OBEY HIM obey his commandments be in his path.

But after Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam which messenger is coming, no messenger is coming. So what does it mean then? That he is to be followed until the Day of Judgment?

This is why Allah reprimands us that in CalOptima Allah or Kobe con you must not do that. When am collibra Allah RP Baihe Allah warns us that whoever turns back on his heels following your doodle Allah che then such a person cannot harm Allah, anything at all. Notice the word che and what does it mean anything? And then on top of that, you see two five hatin on it. What does that mean? Anything it's not killer, nothing at all. A person who turns back on his heels, leaves the religion gives them hope and Allah does not have any purpose meaning left in life just because someone has died. Then such a person is not causing any harm to Allah Who is harming

himself. He is only harming himself was a urges Illa who shacking and soon definitely

He, Allah who will reward who those people who are grateful. Notice the word here grateful, who is a grateful person, the one who remembers the blessings, and the one who uses the blessings. What happens is that when we lose something, when we lose something that we like that we love that we want really bad, whether it's a human being an object, then yes, we become sad. And shaytaan, he makes us focus on that loss so much that we forget to look at other blessings. Isn't that we forget to notice other blessings, which is why we become depressed. And we say, what's the point? Forget it. I don't like to do this anymore. There's no fun left in life. I can't enjoy life anymore. My

life is over for me. There's no point in living, I'm just waiting for my dad, then we say such things. People go to the point of committing suicide even. Right? Why? Because there is nothing that they are grateful for. There's nothing that they are grateful for. A shakin person is who, who looks at the blessings, when he suffers from a loss. And because of the realization that I have so many blessings, what happens, he has the courage to continue.

You know, we see that it happens sometimes with people may Allah protect all of us. And definitely the loss of people suffer is great. But sometimes it happens that a person loses a child, a person who loses a spouse, a person loses a sibling, a parent, and it's as though they can never ever get over it.

I'm not denying that loss is great, it is great. But why should a person not get over it? Why should not a person be grateful for the other blessings that Allah has given to them? That okay, if the spouse is gone, be grateful for the beautiful, lovely children that you have and focus on them. Give attention to them, fulfill your duty towards them. If a parent has gone be grateful for the other parent who is still alive, be grateful for the spouse that Allah has given you. Be grateful for the many friends that Allah has given you for the strong community that Allah has given you. So Allah does not deprive any person completely, it does not happen. No. If Allah takes away a blessing, he

has replaced that with other blessings. Always remember that. If Allah has taken away one blessing from me, he has given me many others to be grateful for many others, and those who have this kind of attitude, they are shackling they are grateful. They stay positive. And such people Allah says wasa Zilla who check it in Allah who will soon reward them. Notice the letter seen, it gives me meaning of soon, definitely in the near future, Allah will reward them for their gratitude. Because

giving up at such a loss is great in gratitude towards Allah subhanaw taala it's like, being upset with Allah, that you took my blessing away from me. I'm not gonna do anything for you now. And there are people who do this, who if they suffer a huge loss, they say, I don't pray anymore. Why did my father die like that? I'm not going to bother, you know, praying anymore fasting anymore. I don't like to read Quran. I don't like to wear hijab. Why did this have to happen to my family? Why did Allah allow this to happen? We feel like this sometimes. But is this the correct attitude? It's not. We will learn in sha Allah, that everything that happens happens by the permission of Allah, He has

allowed it. And the one who knows Allah, the One who recognizes Allah, the One who knows Allah by His names and attributes, then what happens he accepts the decisions of Allah. And he is grateful. Notice that we're checking in he is grateful for the many other blessings that Allah has given to him, many blessings that Allah has given to him. So in this ayah, what do we learn? First of all, we learned very clearly that Muhammad salallahu Salam was a human being. And therefore he was afflicted by the same things that other human beings are afflicted by, he suffered from the same things that the previous prophets suffered. And part of that is also death. If the previous messengers die, then

he too was going to die one day. Secondly, we also learn about the evidence of the prophets all of a sudden was the last and final messenger. Because Allah does not say that called Khaled communicably Russell, and more messengers will come after him know what has been said that messengers came before him. No messengers will come after him. So he was the final messenger and you

The I also shows that the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he was going to die, and he did die, and the possibility of him being killed, and according to some scholars, the Prophet sallallahu sallam was also killed in a way, because, yes, he died on his deathbed. But what happened was at one of the battles, a Jewish woman fed the Prophet sallallahu Sallam poisoned meat. And that poison caused one of the companions to die because he had actually swallowed the morsel with the prophets. A lot of them did not swallow it, but the effects of it did remain in his body, which is why his death, according to certain scholars is also very painful. So the possibility of him being killed, okay, of

his death of him being killed. Because unfortunately, this belief exists among Muslims that the prophets are of arson was not dead, rather, he is alive. And this belief, when you look at the verses of the Quran, does this belief make any sense? It does not. Why? Because Allah Himself says, After a matter Alko Tila and it did happen that he died, he died,

he passed away, which is why he was buried, I'm sorry, but if someone is alive, you don't put him under the ground for God's sake. You don't do that. If someone is alive, that he stays on the surface of the Earth, what does it mean by his life than the life remember, there are two kinds of lives one life is that in the dunya, Dooney, we're the other kinds of life is Berseria in the bursa, which is life after death, okay, but from the moment that a person leaves the world until the day of judgment comes, all right, we learned about the martyrs that Allah says, don't say that they are dead Bella here, rather, they're alive. What kind of life are they living? The life is that of Barza

meaning over there also, they enjoy the experience. Okay? That does not mean that they're just turned off. No, they're enjoying they're experiencing, you're in the lobby him use a cone. So if for the marketers, there's so much reward in the buzzer, then it's only understandable that for the prophets of Allah, there is more reward. And all of the reports that mentioned to us that if someone sends blessings and greetings to the prophets, Allah Madison when they are delivered to him, yes, but that's not because he can hear himself. That is because they are delivered to him in the Barossa. All right, this is just like the Companions who passed away. Okay, the martyrs we learned

about them, that fairy Hina fairy Hina, they rejoice. And part of their rejoicing is when they're given the good news of the people who are still in the world, that they are upon righteousness.

So likewise, the Allah subhanaw taala delivers good news to the prophet as well. And he delivers good news to the martyrs as well. But this does not mean that they can come to this world. Okay, someone who goes away from this life does not come back. So if we are singing songs of praise for the Prophet salallahu Salam, it doesn't mean that He will come. And we need to stand up and pay our respects to him. No, he will not come, he is in the buzzer. And the buzzer is not this dunya it is not this world.

Then we also learn in this ayah, about the fact that the death of the messenger does not mean the death of the dean, the death of his mission, just because an individual is gone, it does not mean that you stop your work, that you leave your work. Some people they do something just because of others. And what happens, what's the evidence of that, that if that person is present, then they will do the work. But if that person is gone, then they will not do anything. Like for example, if the mother is home, yeah, I'm doing the laundry and doing the dishes and doing the vacuum. You have such a good daughter. And as soon as the mother is gone for a week to see her brother, you know, the

dishes are piling up in the sink. They're sitting there for three days, the food is rotting in the refrigerator. Who cares? Mom's not there. The laundry bins are full, the dryers full of clothes, the machine is full of clothes, who's gonna bother switching the loads? Mom's not there, the garbage is not done, who cares? Mom's not there. But as soon as Mom's coming

can run and get everything done. Is this the correct attitude? Not at all? Is this a good work? I think not at all. We work we do something because we have committed that we are going to do it not because other people are around. Because we are not here to impress people. We are here to do something to please Allah.

All right. So those who whose mission is to please people, then they just do the work as long as people are around and when the people are gone, then they don't do it. Now we have to ask ourselves, when do we rely on when do we pray when everybody's praying? When mom's there when my sisters are there? Then I pray and when they're not there who's gonna bother? When we do something we do it for who

Allah and Allah is Allah Hi. He's always there. He's always alive. He does not go away let the hollow sinner to Allah and

then we also learn in this ayah that sugar for the deen is to remain firm upon it regardless of what happens. When a person is grateful for the blessing of the deen then what will he do? He will remain firm on the deen no matter what happens. And we see that the companions that will be Allah who are on whom, even when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam passed away? How firm did they remain under the very firm, very firm. They continued on this path, which is why we have Islam today. So this means that they were truly grateful for the blessing of the deen. So if we are grateful for the blessing of the deen, then we have to remain firm upon it as well. Whether it is easy or difficult,

whether we are going through a good condition in life or very difficult circumstances.

Allah says woman cannot enough sin it is not possible for any knifes What does not mean? So, whether of a human being a jinn, an animal, woman cannot enough sin it is not possible for any naps for any soul and tomato that it dies in lab in Allah except by the permission of Allah.

Meaning if a person dies, then he has died. Why? Because Allah has allowed because Allah has decided. So, are there any accidental deaths then? No, there is nothing such as an accidental death. There is nothing such as a sudden death. Why? Because Allah says kita van Agila the death is what kita oven a decree it doesn't mean book rather it means decree something that is written meaning something that is decreed and fixed, more Agila in time, more agile from the auditors Hamza Jim Lam Angeles time, a fixed point in time more agile is something that is fixed in time meaning something whose time is fixed, it is scheduled. So no soul dies, unless Allah allows, unless Allah has decided

and that decision, when was it made, it was made from long ago, and that time of death is also fixed, it is scheduled. So when that time arrives, then what will happen? The person will die, the death will come. It will not be deferred, it will not be delayed. Nor can it be advanced keytab agenda. And when is the death of every person fixed? When he's 20 years old?

Yeah, when they get married, when they graduate from school? No, when is their death fixed? Before they were born in the womb of the mother, in the womb of the mother. In a hadith we learned that when the child is developing in the womb of the mother 40 days or so an angel asks Allah that what should I write? Meaning what should be written for this individual? How long is he going to live? What kind of actions is he going to perform meaning is equal to Jana or hellfire, what is going to be his final destination? So part of the things that are decreed are what his death fixed in the womb, before we even come to this world, our date of expiry is written

just like before any product makes it out of the factory, the date of expiration is written, it is fixed. So no death is accidental. So if the profits are allowed someone even died at this instance at the Battle of or had Yes, he did not pass away. But Allah says even if he were to die, then why did you give up? If he died at that time, he was meant to die at that time, it was decided that he was to die at that time. But he did not want my kennel enough sin unter Moto, 11 Allah He kita oven, Agila into the moon African ilevel Allah says, well, au Allahu nevsun. Either Jia Jia knew her that when the time of a person comes in Allah does not differ. Woman you read this a Weber dunya and

whoever wants the reward of this world, whoever wants to reward in this world for the efforts that he is making, meaning whatever he does, he wants to see the fruits here. So about dunya he wants the web in the dunya. Allah says no to him and we will give him of it. Notice it hasn't been said we will give him all of it. But rather we will give him of it, meaning some of it if a person's goal his intention of his driving of his work

Is that he should see the results. Now, in this present life, he wants immediate gratification that Allah says we will give him some of it, how much only as much as Allah wants, because people desire many things. But do they get everything they want? Just the other day I was trying to explain to my son, that you cannot have everything in this world

that I want this, I want that I want this. Like you can't have everything in the world. So he keeps reminding me Mom, I can't have everything in the world. I said, No, you can't have everything in the world we can only have some, we can only have a little bit. How much is there only as much as Allah has decreed for us. So people desire many things, but are they able to obtain everything? No. How much do they get? Only what Allah has decreed for them. So no team in her will main unit and whoever desires so well. You know the reward of the Hereafter. That's his goal. Note to him in here. Then we will give him all of it because the author also the person cannot have all of it because Jana is

what the Rajat can a person have all the raw data of Jana. The person says that Allah I want all the entire Jana even agenda that you give to this person and that person this person, I want all of it for me Can a person have that? No, he can only get from January and even that is huge. Even that is great. So no to him in her. In the Quran. Allah says when he called in the Rajasthan, or Emmylou, each person will have degrees according to what they have done. Well Mount Abu COVID Often in or may or Milan, your Lord is not unaware of what they do. Likewise, in the Quran, Allah says in surah to Israel, number 18 and 19 That man, can you read Raja or Janella houfy? Hi, Manisha. Oh, Lima, new

read, whoever should desire the immediate meaning the immediate reward in the world, then we hasten for him from it what we will do will we intend, meaning everyone does not see the results in this world. Okay, no matter how badly they want them, because there are people who strive but yet they don't get anything of this world. Okay, so it's only as much as Allah wants and for whom he wants, but the one who wants the dunya will he avidly share in the hereafter. Know, if a person's goal is the dunya he wants to see everything here. He wants to enjoy here. The world is what he cares about. That is his priority. That is his goal, then there's no share for him in the hereafter which is why

in the verse and so little Israa Allah says some major Anala who Jahannam then we have made for him hellfire. Yes, la Hamad Wuma Madhura where he will burn, censured and banished. Now, why is this being mentioned over here that whoever wants to near that he will have some of it and whoever wants the chakra, and he can have that? Why is this being mentioned?

Because when a person loses something of this world, okay. And that is such a great blow for him that he feels There's no meaning left in life anymore. Than what does that show that the world was everything to him?

Right, that thing that he lost that person when he lost that object that he lost was everything to him, that meant everything to him. That was his goal. That was his priority. That was the focus of his life.

Which is why if he doesn't have it, he gives up a believer his final goal is what Janna the hereafter, which is why even if he suffers the greatest loss in this world, does he give up? No, he doesn't, because he still has time to earn his.

And he will use that time in earning the hereafter, which is why we see that some companions, even when it was rumored that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had died, they said, you know, what are you going to do with life after him then get up and do something, get up and fight and die just like he died? Why are you sitting here depressed, get up and do something follow his footsteps. So for a believer, no loss is all loss. Okay. He, the main focus is the ACA, which is why no matter what suffering happens in this world, he still has a reason to move on. Which is why we see that the great scholars of the past, even when they were imprisoned, imprisoned, they still continue to learn

and teach. You know, there were scholars who were imprisoned, not in jail cells, but rather in dry wells. Imagine a hole in the ground, it's like a ditch, and you're just trapped there. You can't come out there's no rope. There's no ladder, nothing and somebody just comes in

throws food to you. That's it. You live there you sleep there you pray there, everything. And these collars. This is how they lived, but they did not kill themselves. They did not commit suicide thinking, what's the point? They didn't just sit there counting their days. No, they made use of their time. There were scholars who were arrested in their houses being they weren't allowed to leave. They weren't allowed to come out of their houses,

by law,

and their students, they would come in the form of beggars, okay, dressed as beggars, that is there anybody who could give me something, and they will just sit by the wall or something. And the scholar will, you know, silently, quietly in a very low voice, teach them in the night so that nobody could see.

They continued on their mission, even if their freedom was snatched away from them,

even if their freedom was snatched away from them. So the one whose focus is Dounia, if he loses one thing of the dunya, then he gives up, but the one who was focused as the author, he has a reason to strive until his last breath and such a person no team and then Allah will give him then Allah will give him the hereafter into the Israel and 19 Allah says woman or other was our Allah has Surya ha ha moment for hola Erica can a Saturday you homeschooled all that whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer. It is those whose effort is ever appreciated by Allah. Allah will appreciate their efforts. So what do we learn in this is that the time of death of

each person is fixed. Likewise, if there is a loss that we suffer, even that was fixed even that was decided that was also MK two written, decreed by Allah.

I remember reading in a book about an Englishman who had gone to the desert and he was with the Bedouins. I don't know what he was doing exactly, but he was there with them. And there are many things that he noticed which he wrote about he mentioned later on. One of the things that he mentioned was that how quickly the Arabs got over adversity that live in the desert is not simple at all. You have one sandstorm, and your animals are dead. Your food supply is gone. Okay? Your means of transportation has also gone that houses that you had pitched even they're gone. Okay, it means great disaster. Just one sense storm.

And that means you have to move on from that area to somewhere else to find water. So that your animals they have food. So basically, one Sandstorm can literally destroy their lives. But what was their attitude? MK tube, this is MK two this is written it is decreed by Allah so you know what, get up and move on. Which is why every time they suffer, they would get up and move on get up and move on. But what happens with us we have one cut on our finger

can't do the dishes, can't fold the laundry. Can't do my homework.

Right one corner finger and we think it's such a huge disaster that we are rendered completely incapable no matter what loss it is accepted, nor that it is decreed it was written from before Allah allowed it and move on.

Let's listen to the recitation of these verses one

so what have we learned in these verses?

salam alayka

was just remembering a few incidents like I've lived a long time in the Middle East and every time there was a death in the family even if it was an accidental death of a parent. They will always say Corolla and get over it.

And we Asians who live there

Some of my friends, they will say, they're so hard hearted these Arabs, they don't even just three days, they cried for the parent, and that's it and the party.

Whereas I remember, I grew up in India, and when my mother died for 40 days, people would come to visit us. Or my sister, she was very young, she was very attached to my mother, because we just had one parent, and my sister would say, I hate these people coming to our house, because they only come to make us cry. They remind me of all the things my mom used to do for us, I wish they wouldn't talk the way they did. Because we don't have philosophy in life is just, you know, we have to keep crying, and remembering and reminding, we don't let go. That's the thing. So

we prolong the suffering, we prolong the grieving. And as a result, we just sit empty handed, we're not able to concentrate, we're not able to focus, we're not able to anything at all. Why has it been said that grieving should only be for three days mourning only for three days, that after that, you have to focus on other things, it does not mean that you don't value that person who's gone anymore. No, they're gone. But Allah has given you time to do something yourself. And this, prolonging the morning, prolonging the grieving is only going to hurt you, you won't be able to do anything. You know, my mother, when she was extremely attached to her father, I haven't seen her, you know,

talking so as respectfully as she did, you know, in front of her father. She's very respectful before her teachers before the elders, but the way she would respect her father, I haven't seen that kind of relationship at all. And the way every time she would talk about him, she would mention him, you know, so much love and so much respect. And when he passed away, I was young, but not that, you know, but so I could understand what was happening. But I remember that she had the door off for the deceased person, okay, in many places in the house written down, so that every time she would think, remember him, she would make

she would make the offer him regularly. And you know, what this is what will benefit the person who has gone when you make your offer them, we think if we're sad, and if we're saying, you know, such a tragedy, such a loss, and we're just remembering them talking about them. And we're saying, you know, I really miss them, I wonder what they would say, if they were here, I wonder how she would feel if she was here, like, yes, you do think about these thoughts. But this is not really helping the person who has gone,

what is going to help them when we pray for them,

when we, you know, do some good. So that will inshallah be sadaqa jariya. For that bear, and who has gone for that relative who has gone, this is what is helpful, but Shavon makes us focus on something that we can't do anything about, we can't change the reality. Again, this is not undermining the loss. This is just dealing with it in the most effective way in the best way, according to the guidance that Allah subhanaw taala has given us.

So much money is spent so much time is spent in you know, celebrating these days, you know, the after 40 days of death of a person or a year or something. All these occasions so much money is spent, which could actually be given in charity on their behalf so that they get some reward.

That the morning is for one year. Nobody's getting married in that family because someone passed away. But we think that if we are sad and upset, then we are really respecting the people who have gone whereas in reality we're not.

So these verses basically teach us about you can say grief management,

managing loss, getting over difficulties,

that if we have lost something a person has died, then remember that this was the decision of Allah forbidden Allah And if Allah has allowed it and can someone present not at all, does Allah need to take your permission? Not at all.
