Taleem al Quran 2012 – P04 052C Tafsir Aal-e-Imran 175-177

We'll begin from Iowa 175 in a methodical Michelle Klein, who you have with earlier uh, who fell at the halfway home, we'll have a phony in Kentucky Mini. That is only Shavon who frightens you? frightens you have who have his Olia of his supporters? So what is Allah advisors that do not fear them instead fear who? Allah, if you should be believers, meaning if you are believers, then you must fear Allah alone, and not the people that shaytaan frightens you off. Now this is a continuation of the previous ones in which we learned that when the Prophet sallallaahu Salam returned to Medina after the Battle of hope, he feared that Abu Sufyan and his men would return and

they would attack Medina again. Right, they would come to attack Medina in order to kill the rest of the Muslims. So the Prophet salallahu Salam announced in the morning, that all those who participated or who are required to come out again, and the believers who were exhausted, who were wounded, who were injured, who had hands that were paralyzed, they got up and they went along with the Prophet salallahu Salam in pursuit of the enemy. And as they left Medina, what happened? They met a man who came noraim He came and He frightened the Muslims that most of you and is coming with his army. But what was the reaction of the companions? When they heard the description of Abu Sufian

and his army? What was their reaction? What did they say? Has spoon Allah, Allah is enough for us, we can do this. It doesn't matter. If the machine inflicted a great harm on us yesterday, it doesn't matter. We're not going to give up. And this is the way of the believer that no matter what he suffers, what is important, what is necessary, he does it, even if he feels he will fail at it, even if he feels he does not have the strength to face it. Because again, who is he relying upon himself his own strength? No, he relies on Allah subhanaw taala This is why he says husband Allah whenever Manoukian What an excellent trustee he is, meaning he is the perfect one to rely on. So when noraim

he came in he frightened the Muslims. They reacted very positively. And Allah subhanaw taala revealed concerning that, that in the motherly, comerciais plan, that person who came trying to frighten you was who shaitan while he was a human being so how was he shaitan? Remember, Shayateen are from both men, as well as jinn. The devils are from the people and they're also from the jinn, meaning some devils are in the form of human beings that we see we interact with, and some devils are in the form of jinn that we cannot see, but the only whisper into our hearts, okay, and when is it that a human being is a Shetland? A human being is a shaytaan when he does the work of Shavon

when he does, what the shayateen do, what does Shailene do? What's the role of Chevron, to stop people from obeying Allah subhanaw taala whatever means that he adopts what's his goal, to stop a person from being obedient to Allah. So when a person comes and frightens the other, or you cannot do this, or he discourages the other, don't do this, you will fail you badly fail. When a person discourages another frightens the other from doing a good deed that he is doing the work of who Shavon so Allah subhanaw taala calls that person Shavon.

So remember, that Shelton will not just attack you through words that he whispers into your heart, through thoughts that he will put into your mind. No, shell plan will also use people to attack you. So you would be doing something really good. And all of a sudden, somebody comes and humiliates you, yells at you, insults you, which discourages you from ever doing that work again.

So for example, you decide that the next party you're going to, if it's, let's say, a wedding, and it's mixed, but it's relatives and you have to go there's no way of getting out, you decide that I'm going to go and I'm going to keep my hijab on

and as you're sitting there, some Auntie or some person they come to you and like, what are you wearing? Come on, take this off. You're at a wedding, not at a masjid. Why do you have this on show us Your beautiful hair? And please, this is not going to work over here and they go on and on and on. And you start crying and you feel so sad and so hurt that you like never again

I'm not going to wear hijab in public.

You know what chiffon became victorious over there? shaytaan tried to stop you by putting this thought in your head before you left. Oh, come on, you're actually going to keep the hijab on at that party.

Satan tried to stop you, but you're like, No, I am going to keep it on. But then when you went to London, stop there, what did he do? He sent a human being against you.

So Shavon doesn't leave you he keeps coming to you directly and also through other human beings. So be alert. Allah subhanaw darted warns us in the medallic Michelle la No, this has shaped on who comes to you frightens you. And over here in this context, what happened, you have willful Alia, who you hold with who is from the wave, it is too frightened someone to make someone afraid. So he was instilling the fear in your heart of who only a few of his friends who are the friends of champagne in the context refers to a booster Fionna and his army who were coming back in order to attack the Muslims. So shaitan was frightening you, all of his friends, that you become afraid of facing them,

that you feel you are incapable of fighting them, of dealing with them. So you give up and you retreat, or you give up you abandon the prophets of Allah Islam, you abandon your mission, you hold me for only a who Allah says, Allah to whom you don't need to fear them. So what does this mean? That no matter how great the challenge is, no matter how great the enemy is, no matter how strong the person is, who is insulting you, still, what does Allah say, Do not fear them. Instead, who should you fear will have phony fear me in content mode, meaning if you should be believers, so there are a number of things that we learn in this ayah. first of all, we see the enmity and the

hatred of shaitan. For the believer that he does not spare any effort, he comes Himself, and He sends people against the believer, and especially what the Shavon do, he instilled the fear of what we have to do in our hearts, that he makes righteousness, He makes the performance of good deeds so frightening that we don't even think about doing it.

I have a question for you. Has anyone asked you? Have you memorized the Quran? Do you want to memorize the Quran? Or have you asked this question yourself? Yeah. But what comes into your heart is fear. I can't do it. There's no way I can't do it. Not at all. You know, I barely remember the short tours of the Quran. How can I even memorize the entire Quran? This is something that I can't do. My memory is really bad. I'm already you know, 20 years old, if I'd done it at eight, than I would have been able to now I'm 20. So now you know, I've lost my chance. I cannot memorize the Quran. Does this fear come into your heart? Yes, it does. Shavon frightens us, He makes us feel that

righteousness is so difficult, doing something good is impossible. So that we don't even think about doing it. And the little good that we're doing, we stopped that as well. Many times it happens that we have great ideas, or great intentions that we want to do something good. But then somebody comes and tells us really you think you can make a change, you think you can actually do this. And we start doubting ourselves, we start questioning ourselves. It's not possible, we can't do it. And then we give up.

There's so many good things that people begin that they start doing, whether it's a good project, you know, or a small class or something, you know, good in their personal life. But then very soon it falls apart. Have you heard a holocaust started there, and it finished, a person started a project and then it collapsed, why it collapsed? Why it finished? Because when you do something good, definitely there are challenges. Definitely there are difficulties. But one is that you become frightened of those difficulties. And the other is that you face them and you deal with them. Chevonne makes us afraid, but please don't be afraid. There's nothing that human beings can do, you

know, which is within their capacity. That is impossible. Always think that if other people can do it, I can do it, too. It's not impossible.

And especially in this day and age, there's so many things that people have accomplished. So when others can accomplish, why can't we? We can also do that. Let me give you an example. This building that you're sitting in, before this building, we had a very, very small holder center in Mississauga. I mean, I'm talking about maybe half of this hall.

The total size of that, perhaps half of this hall. Okay, we had a hall, and we had a small washroom, you know, with three stalls in it, and very small office and a very small area for the computers and so on and so forth. It was a very, very small center. And at that time, we couldn't even think about a bigger center, a bigger building.

And when we walked into this building to see it, when I came here, I remember thinking that, how was it possible? How can we ever afford this building? And even if we do get this building, what are we going to do with it? What are we going to do with it? So the initial thought was, you know, what, it's not possible, we're dreaming too big, we're thinking too big. So let's downsize. You know, let's think realistic. But alhamdulillah a strong determination of other people the trust that they had, and Allah subhanaw taala. Because of that, they made the decision and they're like, No, we are gonna go for it. And I'll hold it Allah within a couple of months, literally $2.2 million, were

raised.

Yes. And this was without having a fundraiser every other day. No. So quickly, the help of Allah subhanaw taala came. So one is that we become frightened and we're like, it's not possible we can't do it. And the other is that you said no husband, Allah, Allah is enough for us. Not the money of this person and not the work of that person and not the help of that person know, Allah is enough for us husband, Allah, when your money Joaquin. So always, whenever you are doing something good, whether it is you know, as small as praying for Allah or reading a page of the Quran, or fasting, or forgiving someone or speaking the truth, or initiating the salon, or responding to someone gently

you know, whatever it is,

always say our was a bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim. First that Allah protect me from the evil of shaytaan, from his frightening me from his attempts to scare me, give me the confidence. And you can only have the confidence when you turn to Allah

happens with many people, that when they become serious about doing something for the sake of Allah, initially, there's a lot of opposition in every respect, you know, from close family members, from friends, you know, financially, there's so many struggles that you have to endure. But once you make up your mind, and you say, oh, Allah, I want to do this, and you are enough for me, that Allah will pave the way for you. And you will see that the result is more than what you could even imagine. The end product is better than you can even expect. I mean, this building, we thought, how are we going to use it. And now you know what situation we're in that we have to have classes in the masjid in

the men's section, we have to kick them out. And we have to tell them, we need the space. We don't know what to do how to function in this little space, which seems so much before.

Because ultimately, who is the provider? Who is your caretaker? Allah is so when you turn to Him, He will take care of you. But like we learned earlier, Allah is going to help but you have to ask him, you have to prove yourself worthy of his help, you have to do something on your part as well. The Companions didn't just sit in Medina saying that we're tired, we can't go, no, they got up and they left and the help of Allah came. So you have to do your part as well.

And notice over here for that the hall for whom will have funI another important lesson we learned over here is that we must not fear shall upon his friends, people, the challenges that come our way, no, we must not fear them. And as a result of that leave the good work we're doing. Instead we should fear who? Allah subhanaw taala. So in other words, when the fear of Allah is there than the fear of people subsides. When the fear of Allah is more than the fear of people becomes less, then it becomes small, and eventually it goes away. But what's the condition that the fear of Allah should be there? And how can a person develop fear of Allah, when he compares the power of Allah to

the power of people? I mean, what are people before Allah nothing. When a person realizes that Allah is greater, when a person realizes that people are small, that what they have is limited. When people have power over you, you can escape for when Allah is questioning you, then you can never escape.

If people want to harm you, you can be saved. But when Allah in Dan's arm for you, you can never escape. Never ever. So waha funI fear me in contam meaning if you should be believers, wala zone can Medina you set your own a fill layer has Anca from Horizon has a noon. What is horizon?

grief, sorrow, that over something that has happened. You're not happy with it, you're sad about it. And earlier hope was mentioned. Now what is being mentioned her grief. Earlier Allah said, Let the horror film over here Allah says Leia zonca. So do not fear and do not grieve because fear and grief these are two things that can destroy a person that can render him completely incapable. That can shatter his confidence, fear and grief. This is why the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he used to pray Allahumma in the URL to becoming an HMI Well, whose me Middleham me well herzan What is hum, worry, anxiety and anxiety is a result of fear that I can't do this. This is impossible for me what will

people say? And what is herzan grief over what has happened in the past? So the prophets of lorrison would seek refuge with Allah from these two, because these two can destroy a person. So let's presume can Medina you said your owner Philco for those people who hasten in disbelief? Don't let them grieve you don't let them make you sad? Who are Alladhina you said your own if ik Have you set your owners when they will letters. What's the route? seen very sad, are you sad you're sad or is to hasten into something sooner is to do something quickly to walk fast to be quick. So you said your own effing Cofer are those who are rushing into disbelief, meaning they don't hesitate to

disbelieve. They don't think twice in doing something that is an action of disbelief. Rather they go into it headlong they fall into it headlong any opportunity they have, they go towards it, they enter into disbelief immediately. So the Prophet salallahu Salam is advised that don't be grieved because of these people. Now think about it. The majority of the people, what is their state? If they have an opportunity to do good? Will they hastened towards it? No. But if they have the chance to do something bad? Will they take advantage of it immediately? Immediately.

If 10,000 people are asked, you have two options. One is that you go to a mosque, or a church or whatever, whatever religion they're off. And the other is that you go to the cinema, you go to the movies, what option do you think the majority of the people will take?

Going to the movies, right?

Likewise, we see that if you call people come to the masjid Come, let's go to uh, halacha. Let's go to a class, let's go to an Islamic conference, people will come with a lot of difficulty, you will have to remind them and ask them and offer them a ride. Right? You will have to request them again and again. And you have to tell them that no, no, I'll get you the ticket, I'll get the discount for you. But when it comes to doing something that's wrong, that's not that great. Will you have to convince people? Not at all. Let me give you a simple example. If the parents ever tell the children go do your homework, they have to tell them again and again. But if you tell them okay, now you can

turn the television on. Doesn't take a second.

Isn't that so? Now, someone who wants good for people who wants people to be rightly guided?

Who knows that they're doing something wrong and they should turn to Allah? They haven't prayed in so long. They haven't worshipped Allah, the way they should install on what does he want? That they should go towards righteousness. But when he sees that, instead of coming towards righteousness, they're falling in the hellfire. They're hastening rushing towards wrong. You're telling your child come, let's read Quran and he says, No, I don't want it.

And if you tell him during the music down, he says, No, I like it.

This is going to grieve you. It is going to make you sad, it is going to hurt you.

Because the prophets are a lot of them. He was the most sincere people to all of humanity. He was the most sincere individual to all of humanity, you wanted goodness for them. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, Allah Allah karabell Here enough Sokka are the 13 Perhaps you would destroy yourself out of grief, because of what these people are doing, that they're not believing. So the Prophet total, Larissa would get extremely hurt now at the backlog or her. Yes, he was sad and hurt about the loss that the Muslims had experienced. But at the same time, he was grieving because of the gopher of the Mushrikeen.

That they're coming against the messenger of them. They're coming against the believers, what are they doing? So the prophets have a lot of son was sad, not just because of the loss, but also because of the evil actions of the disbelievers. He will

sad for them.

Allah subhanaw taala tells him when a Zune can Medina you sorry Aruna Phil, don't be grieved because of them. Remember that inner home? Indeed the laying of lucha che, never can they hurt Allah? Anything, meaning they can never ever hurt Allah. No matter how much gopher they do, no matter how much they oppose the messenger, no matter how much they try to destroy the deen of Allah, can they harm Allah? Not at all. Labor Allah has nothing at all. They can never hurt Allah. Why? Because Allah subhanaw taala says in a hadith Bootsy we learned here a baddie in Cumberland who brewery photographer Rooney, that oh my servants, you can never ever be able to hurt me. You can never hurt

Allah, you can ever harm him. No matter how much coffee people do, no matter how much they try to insult the the mock the Dean accused the dean, can they hurt Allah never lay a little Allah che. Because in another Hadees Bootsy, we learned that if all the people and all the jinn were like the most wicked individual, imagine how evil IBLEES was. Imagine how evil fit around was, imagine if all of mankind all of the jinn became like a bliss or became like for our own. Can they harm Allah? Not at all. No matter how disobedient people become they can ever harm Allah. Then why is it that Allah lets them disbelieve? Why is it that Allah allows the disbelievers to harm the believers? Allah

says, you read Allahu Allah intends Allah that not this is a combination of an and lead, that not yet you're on Allah whom he makes for them one any share Philadelphia in the hereafter meeting, he lets them do whatever they're doing right now go ahead, hurt the messenger, go ahead, arm the dean, do whatever you want, gain your worldly victory. But they will have nothing at all in the hereafter and how from the letters how Vala it refers to any share of reward, they will have no reward in the Hereafter, neither a little, nor a lot, one of whom are the winner or leave and for them is a great punishment, not a minor punishment, but a great punishment, something that is unimaginable, even

incomparable to any punishment in this world. Now, after the Battle of hurt, there are a number of incidents that took place. The Battle of or hurt itself was something that caused great grief to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to the believers, because you know that 70 companions were killed. Amongst them was uncle of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And like we learned earlier, that when the Prophet sallallahu sallam was bringing his Janaza, the Companions they described that scene as that he sobbed his heart out meaning he cried profusely, they had never seen him crying as much as he cried at that time. So the Battle of word itself was a big deal. And remember that when the Muslims

returned to Medina, the wound up what was their reaction? You shouldn't have gone? Didn't we tell you, you should have come with us, you should have come back to Medina with us, you should have left the Prophet sallallahu sallam, so they had to hear hurtful things from the hypocrites. Now soon after the Battle of or hurt, we learned that a delegation from the tribes of Erbil and Cora they came to the Prophet salallahu Salam requesting him to send a group of companions with them. Why? So that those companions will teach their people the deen. Okay, so the Prophet sallallahu Sallam sent according to some reports, six and according to other reports, 10 companions, he sent them with

these people. And when these companions when they reached of mudgear, a place called of Regina, a group of 100, archers surrounded

imagine 100 Archers, they surrounded them.

And they killed them all. Only three survived, the three who survived. One of them again, he got killed, and two of them, they were taken to Makkah, and they were sold.

They were sold to who, to the Mushrikeen

the machine, they were still angry about their defeat at but and when they saw that the companions of the messenger SallAllahu wasallam were in their control those companions who had killed their men that were seeking, they took full advantage of that, and what did they do? The two companions that were brutally assassinated. One of them was Kobe, Little De Allahu,

and Inshallah, if we have enough time, I will mention to you the incident of how he was brutally assassinated. Now, this was something very hurtful with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he sent 10 companions, you know, companions who were knowledgeable, too.

teach others to do the Arwa to spread the dean. And he finds out that they have been killed unjustly, that they were surrounded by 100 Archers, and they were killed. And two of them were sold them wished again who brutally publicly assassinated. This was something very hurtful. Now, in the same month, imagine the same month 70 companions, who were also well versed in the knowledge of the Quran, they were sent to Nigeria for the same purpose for the purpose of teaching the deen teaching the Quran, and on their way to the area of unaged when they reached the well off Morona they were attacked. They were also attacked the people who took them basically you came to the Prophet

sallallahu and it was a false request. It was just, you know, a way of getting some companions out of Medina and, and killing them. So this was betrayal this was treachery. Imagine 70 companions were killed, and only one of them, he survived. And he made it to Medina, on his way to Medina, he found too much sticking

too much stickman. And when he found them, he killed them to lose a hobby. What did he do? He killed those two machines, thinking that you know what, any mistake we find we're gonna kill them, we're going to take revenge from them because they're attacking us, we're going to attack them.

So anyway, the sahabi when he returned to Medina, he told the prophets on a lot about what had happened. On the one hand, 10 companions got killed. On the other hand, 70 companions got killed, how many 80 Just recently 70 were lost at the Battle of how many companions were lost all of a sudden 150 Imagine 150 Men gone.

This was a great loss for the Prophet sallallahu sallam. And we learned that at this occasion, the prophets of Allah wa sallam he started praying, the Knut seeking Allah subhanaw taala is held every day for 30 days, almost consecutively, he prayed the Quran, praying to Allah subhanaw taala against the enemy constantly. Now, when the Muslim this heavy, who escaped, who made it to Medina who killed two Mushrikeen on his way, now those two were shaking, they belong to a tribe with whom the Muslims were in peace with. So that meant that Muslims had to give blood money to the tribe for the two who were killed. So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he went to buy new annihilate the Jewish tribe, who

was in Medina, to ask them to pitch in the blood money. Because remember that the Jews also they were in agreement with the Muslims, and part of the agreement was that if the if any group have to give blood money to another tribe, and everyone is going to contribute, the profits on a lot of someone went there. And the leader of the Jews, he said, Yes, sure, of course, we're going to help you. And just give me a minute, I'll be back. The Prophet sallallahu sallam was sitting, leaning against a wall, and this Jewish man he went, and he conspired with his companions, he said, Let's just take a huge boulder, and throw it from above the wall, on Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam and

finish it. So they went, and they were going to do that. But Gibreel came the angel and told the prophet Sallallahu Sallam to leave immediately. So the Prophet sallallahu wasallam left. Now imagine, on the one hand, the Mushrikeen are attacking. On the other hand, the various tribes of Arabia, even the Bedouins they were turning against the Muslims any Muslim they saw they would kill him they would assassinate him It didn't matter for what purpose they were going gold there were it didn't matter any Muslim Gilliam and then the Jews with whom they had a treaty, they also proved to be treacherous. So the prophets are a lot of someone was indeed very aggrieved. He was very sad.

Just think about it. You feel as if everyone's turning against you. You know, like it was mentioned earlier, the family, the close friends, financially, I mean, you name it, you start facing every problem. And sometimes even your own body does not cooperate with you,

that you want to do something, but your body is not cooperating. You remain sick. Are you too tired? Are you always sleepy? You just don't find the capacity to do what you have to do. Sometimes your brain is not cooperating with you.

I remember recently a sister came crying to me. She said I'm trying to memorize the Quran. But as I'm memorizing I keep forgetting what I've learned before, and she was crying. She said, I don't know what to do. So it happens sometimes everything seems to be turning against you. And at this point, you almost give up. But Allah subhanaw taala says, Don't be sad. layers. And don't be sad. Don't give up. Have faith in Allah. And as long as you're trying as long as you're on the spot, you're struggling. It's all good. So when I presume can ladina you said your own affair?

UcOF in the home layer, Allah Shaya, you read Allahu Allah gerada the HomeHub one Philadelphia. So no matter how much harm they inflict on the prophets of Allah said of the believers, can the arm Allah not at all? Can they harm the deen of Allah never, despite the efforts of the Mushrikeen of the Jews, that Islam not spread, was the Prophet sallallaahu Salam not victorious, yes, he was, no matter how treacherous the enemy was still, the religion of Allah prevailed ultimately. So remember, whatever is done for Allah, it will remain, it will remain, no matter how much opposition is there. Allah will save it, Allah will rescue it, Allah will give it victory.

Because the deen is a loss. And no matter how much people try to harm it, they cannot defeat it.

And Allah lets them do whatever they're doing, because then they will have no share in the hereafter no reward at all, and for them is a great punishment.

In AlLadhina shutaura, will Cofer Bill Eman indeed those people who have purchased disbelief in exchange for Eman, they had a man they gave it up and they took over. They gave up. They found Islam to be too difficult. They couldn't deal with the challenges. They got frightened, they got frazzled, and they gave up like the moon African. They went along with the Prophet salallahu Salam. But when they realized that the challenge was really great, they said we're not coming, they left 300 of them went back. So those people who give up a man and they take over. Allah says lineable, Allah Hashem. Again, they can never harm Allah at all. They can never harm the deen of Allah at all.

When our beloved obey returned with 300 of his companions, and the Muslims, they were left in the battle 700 of them were not victorious initially. Yes, they were, Allah didn't bless them with victory, because of a mistake that happened. That is when the victory turned into defeat. I'd mentioned to you earlier how the Muslims saw that the women of the machine they were running in order to save their lives when they saw that their men were just falling one after the other. And the enemy was retreating from the battlefield, which is why the believers were appointed at the small headlock. This is why they left their positions to go and collect the booty. So Allah did give

them victory. So remember, if anyone abandons the cause of Allah, they can never harm the dean, the dean will still survive.

The dean will still last.

So there are two kinds of people who are being described over here. One are those who try to harm the Dean externally, actively, openly. You said your own effing cover. And the other are those who harmed the Dean from within internally,

through deceit through treachery, that they show themselves as sincere, but they prove to be treacherous. That for example, someone says that, yes, I will help you with this project of yours and I will guide you and I will do this and I will do that. But when the work actually needs to be done, they don't show up. They disappear completely.

Or they start something with you, and they leave you and all the work falls on your shoulders. So whether someone harms the dean, directly or indirectly, externally or internally, what does Allah say? laying your daughter Allah Hashem they can never harm Allah they can never harm the deen one of them are there on a limb and in reality for them is a painful punishment. Let's listen to the recitation of these verses

mache upon we will hold

you hold me for a

walk off in

to

me

Kalevi you know you're sad you own up

in

you read long?

Long

to your home, nada will now Aleem.

So ultimately,

we see that there are two ways. One is that a person goes in the way of Allah faces the challenges accepts the deen of Allah embraces the challenges. Then this person who is benefiting himself is

See benefiting the dean. Okay, but can the Dean survive without him? Definitely. But when a person goes out in the way of Allah first and foremost, who is he benefiting himself? On the other hand, the person who opposes the theme, or deceives the people of the deen tries to harm the deen from within or from without, then this person who is harming himself.

He can never harm the deen. He is actually harming himself. So when we worship Allah, we benefit ourselves. When we turn away, we harm ourselves
