Taleem al Quran 2012 – P04 056B Tafsir Al-Nisa 15-18

Lesson number 56. So to Nyssa is number 15 to 25.

Well, Letty Dean alpha hishammuddin Lisa EComm. Well, Nettie and those women who allottee is a plural of allottee allottee. She who alerted those women who this is just like a lady is singular. And what's the plural of that? What's the plural of Elodie? And Lavina? Alright, so allottee allottee. So those women who yet Dean Alpha he shatter, they come with fascia, meaning they commit for hisher what is fascia? Fascia is such an act, which the law rejects, which the people reject meaning it is considered indecent by the Islamic law. It is also considered very indecent by the society by the people in general. And by the society, I don't mean any society in the world, but in

particular, the Muslim community because it is those people who believe in Allah believe in the Day of Judgment, who will have the correct standards. So what does version refer to? It refers to unlawful sexual intercourse. So in other words, Zina fornication. So those women who commit fornication, whether they do it as a profession, meaning they're prostitutes, or they do it once in a while, whatever it is, they're married or they're unmarried. Men Nyssa econ Nyssa. Econ refers to Muslim women. So any Muslim woman who commits this act Allah says foster she do I lay hidden or bottom income, foster Shido seek witnesses, bring witnesses, or lay hinda against them how many

witnesses or burden for men come from among you, meaning from among Muslims? In other words, if someone says this woman has committed Zina, then he better produce witnesses. He cannot just go on accusing and slandering every woman that if he sees her with another man, he says, Oh, she committed Zina with him, or that a woman is pregnant, and he says that she has committed Zina if a man if a person accuses a woman of Zina, than he better produce witnesses, how many witnesses Allah says four and these four witnesses should be men comb Have you have you means those that are Muslim? And notice the word arbeiten? The word arbeiten. Okay, remember that in Arabic the numbers the words

that are used for numbers are Bara, if they end with a timer, buta like over here like a timer booth over here, then you remember that it's a number that has been used for men for male, all right, because the word of Bara is used for men and unbar is used for women. This is similar to how it is a DisArt duty gel, and this ru Nyssa. So when it is a Dishonored two, it is used for females over here What word is being used? arbeiten. So what does it mean that it's being used for who? Men or women, men? All right, so Obata men come means for men. So therefore, the witnesses must be who Muslim, they must be men. And witnesses must be those who have actually witnessed the ACT themselves,

meaning they have seen it themselves not heard off. But they have seen the act, meaning they don't just see a man and woman sitting next to one another. They don't just see them holding hands, but they actually see them committing the act. They come across them while they're committing the act. Why is this so strict? Because it's very common that women are accused, isn't that so? Women are accused, right, left and center all over the world, in many societies, and especially in societies where men are more dominant. Isn't that so that if a woman has done something wrong, the father is unhappy with her, or the brother is unhappy with her. The uncles are upset with her, they will

accuse her of Zina or even when she is raped, then she is accused of committing Zina. So over here, women are being protected, that you can't just go and accuse her. If you say that she's committed Zina, you have to produce four witnesses who have actually seen the act. Allah says for insha he do then if they bear witness who the four witnesses, they testify, they say that, yes, we saw her committing this act, then the punishment will be implemented. But what about if there's only three men who have witnessed it? Or let's say there's only one man who's accusing her or two men who are accusing her who have seen the act not for then in that case, you know what's going to happen? The

woman is not going to be punished. Instead, the people who are accusing her, they will be punished had the other it is the punishment for slander for false accusation. So in other words, a person better not open their mouth, unless and until they have solid evidence, unless and until there are witnesses that are present. So for inch

shall he do if the witnesses are there she is proven guilty then obviously the punishment will be implemented and what was the punishment before for uncIe Kahuna Phil balut that withhold them retain them in the houses um Seco from him sack meme seen calf what does that mean to retain, to keep, do not let go. So do not let them go keep them where fill beauty in the houses floral off baits until when for a year for two years, had the until yet our fair Hornell mode until death takes them meaning until they die. Or we enter and Allahu Allahu Allah Subhan Allah or Allah makes for them a way out.

Now remember that the punishment that is given in this ayah is what they should be placed under house arrest, that they should not be allowed to go out of the house. Why? Because it is going out of the house mingling with men. All right, that has led them to such a crime that has led them to losing their chastity. So don't give them that option anymore. prevent them from committing this crime again. So what's the solution? Keep them contained within the house. Because if they go out, they're going to do it again. And if they go out, this crime is going to spread to other women as well. This is just like when a person commits something wrong, then what happens? They are jailed.

Sometimes they are jailed for a few months, sometimes for a few years. And other times it's a life sentence that they have to live in the prison forever until they die basically. So this is a similar punishment. Now remember, even our best will deliver on who he said that the early ruling was confinement, meaning this punishment was given in the beginning era of Islam. All right, in the beginning, and later on, this punishment was abrogated with another punishment we have learned about NUS insalata data that how Allah subhanaw taala sometimes he would give a command and then later he would change it. Why there were different reasons behind that many wisdom which we studied before.

Alhamdulillah so over here, Allah says, Oh yeah, John Allahu Allahu Allah Subhan Allah or Allah who will make a way out for them, meaning he will send down another command containing a different punishment for such people. So what was the punishment, the punishment later change to flogging Okay, which is lashes intro to new IoT we learn about this that Zania towards Zanny both the man and the woman who have committed Zina, firstly do Kula Hedeman humor me at agile that and flog them each 100 lashes so 100 lashes was the punishment, and then a person was free to go, all right. This was for who for the unmarried woman, but the married woman who commits in it and the punishment is

different for her which inshallah we will study later. Then Allah says, well levani Danny Herman come, as for those two who commit it, men come from among you, what does it refer to the same crime that was mentioned in the previous idea? What was the crime fascia? So for a woman for her shows one, Zina over here, a levani. A Lavallee is singular or dual, dual two people and Allah then he is the dual of a lovey, lovey one man, Allah Danny, two men. So those two men who commit for hisher, who commit for Hashem income among you. The previous Ira stated the punishment for the woman who commits Zina. And this verse is talking about the men who commit Zina with one another. In other

words, this idea is referring to a lower meaning homosexuality, rectal intercourse between men. So those men who commit this act, for them is also a punishment in the Islamic law.

Now remember that Allah wild homosexuality, this is worse than Zina it is worse than adultery it is worse than fornication. Why? Because in the Quran, what do we learn about Zina? Allah says in the hook an affair he Schatten Indeed, it is an indecency. But when it comes to homosexuality, Lutheran Islam he said, at the tunel, fair, he shatter for Zina for his Schatten for homosexuality, alpha hisher, meaning the indecency, the very indecent act. So remember that it is much worse than Xena. But then you may wonder, that why is it mentioned after Zina? Why is it I mentioned first, Zina is mentioned first because it is more common. Right. And you see that fornication is something that's

far more common than homosexuality, and also remain

Number that Allah Wilde was so uncommon, especially at the time when these verses were revealed in Arabia, that it was unheard of unknown off some companions. They said that if Allah had not revealed verses concerning this act, we could never have imagined that a man would do something like this, because it was considered something so indecent, that people would not even think about it. They could not imagine that a man would like to be done with as a woman is done with, they could not even imagine that it was something so repulsive, it was something so hated by them. So it was something unknown. And we see that Zina. If you think about it, a relationship between a man and a woman, it

does become halal. In the case of Nikka, isn't it so? Meaning when two individuals, man and woman are married, then the relationship is lawful, but rectal intercourse? Can it ever be lawful? Never, not between a man and woman, not between men and men? It can never be lawful. So this is the reason why this is something that is far worse. And this is a reason why it is also forbidden. And also remember that there is a punishment for this. It is punishable. It's not just forbidden, but it's also punishable. What's the punishment? Allah says for as do human? I do give other to Homer, both of them, both of whom both of those men and do other? What does Allah mean? A slight hurt? Remember,

we have learned this word earlier? Yes. Aluna, garden Mahal, kalua. Other, they ask you about menstruation tell them that it is other meaning it's hurtful. It's a pain, right? So likewise, these two individuals, Allah says hurt them give them pain, it doesn't mean abuse them. This is not what the meaning is. It just means hurt them. And remember that hurt is in three ways, through coal, through fear, and through hedging power, meaning through words. So for example, if someone does something really wrong than other family members, what do they do? They go and yell at him or her right to scold them. They use a little bit of harsh language against them, why in order to

discipline them? Correct. And it doesn't matter how old they are. A man could be 35 years old, if his mother finds out that he's making a very dumb decision concerning his house or concerning his family. What will she do? She will yell at him. Isn't it? So? So this is what other? Why will she yell at him to stop him from making such a foolish decision? All right. Secondly, other is through fairly through action, that sometimes, you know, you use your words against someone and other times, you know, you give them a pinch, okay, like you've been to them a little bit, or like you push them slightly, doesn't mean that you take a stick and you beat them and abuse them until they're bruised.

And no, this is not what the meaning of other is. All right. This is like slightly physically hurt them. Why? Because a slight physical hurt also can have a great impact on you. Because just a thought that my mom pinched me, my dad, he gave me like a slap on my back or something like that, like that thought itself shakes the person, especially when they're an adult, isn't it? So like, if somebody pinches you when they're angry, or they slightly hit you with their hand, you get so offended, you're hurt. Isn't that so? But children, we see that their mothers are slapping them and hitting them and pinching them. But it doesn't make any difference to them, isn't it but adults,

they get shaken up by this. So as a woman in this way, as well. And thirdly, through hygiene, what does hygiene mean to leave? Meaning boycott. So for example, if someone is not talking to you, because of the decision that you've made, then what happens? You get really hurt, you really start thinking about what you're doing. And then eventually you change your mind. Like if you decide to study, let's say sociology, as opposed to engineering, because that's engineering, something you're really good at. And your dad really wants you to do it and you decide no, no, I'm not going to study that. Instead, I'm gonna go into sociology or psychology or something, then you're debt so upset, he

doesn't talk to you properly, then what happens? You like, what am I done? And then even though you don't want to leave sociology, but still you leave it why, just to please your dad. I'm not saying that this is something that should be adopted and everything. But I'm just giving you an example so that you can understand the meaning of other All right, so for adult humor in these ways, why are the women why hurt them in this way? So that they will stop what they are doing? This is the reason why Allah says for interval than if they to repent, they do Tober and what does

dopamine to leave the send that you're doing. So the stop committing that action will Asla her and they reform they make amends they do is law than Allah says for rd lower and Houma than turn away from them, meaning then leave them get over it. Don't keep reminding them of the mistake that they made in their past. Don't remind them 10 years down the road when they're sitting with their wife and their kids. Remember when you were homosexual? No rd, Lauren Houma get over it. This person has done Toba. They've done Tober they have done Islam. They left that bad relationship. They have entered into a halal relationship. So leave, leave them. Give them their freedom, or the Lauren

Houma and remember that in the Lucha Canada web of Rahima. Beautiful. Indeed, Allah is Ever Accepting of repentance and he's merciful. Meaning no matter what sin that a person commits, Allah is willing to accept his repentance as long as a person repents. And he is Rahim. He's merciful. You know, people don't forget, people don't forgive, but Allah forgives. So even if a person has committed this sin, then if they've done Toba, then they should be accepted, because Allah accepts them. So what do we learn in these verses? We learn about the prohibition of Zina and the prohibition of homosexuality, and that these two crimes that are punishable in the religion of

Islam, and the punishment of it, okay, according to the Quran for homosexuality is what? What's the punishment for homosexuality? According to the Quran, what did we learn in the ayah for adult humor, other that is the punishment according to the Quran. Now, in the Sunnah, we learned that the punishment is slightly different. And what is that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, this is a Hadith and Agudo that men were a to mu, Yama, llama la comi, Lupin, factorable, ferula Wilmoth ruler be that whoever you find committing the sin of the people of Luke meaning committing rectal intercourse, homosexuality, then kill them, both the one who does it and the one to whom it is done

to meaning the one who penetrates and the One in whom it has penetrated? In other words, the one who agrees that it should be done with him. But if a boy if a man is raped, then that is a different story. All right, that is a different story. This isn't the case where both of them agree to do it, they will fully willingly do it.

Now, it seems like a contradiction. The Quran says something different. And the Hadith says something different. And the Quran gives a very slight punishment and the Hadith, the Sunnah gives a very severe punishment. I mean, cuddle is something not small. It's something very major.

So how do we reconcile this? The scholars have said that the punishment for the wealth is severe than the punishment for Zina. In the previous verse, the punishment for Zina was given and what was that just confine them to the houses. But for layout or flogging, we see the punishment is for homosexuality, what is it? According to the sunlight is killing? Why? Because like I mentioned earlier, it is a much worse crime compared to Xena.

All right, because the thing is that when a man and woman commit this action,

okay, it is something that is normal in the sense that people do have this kind of relationship in a halal way. But this kind of relationship between a man and a man, it's not permissible at all. A man and a woman, if they commit a crime like this, you can separate them, they can still live in the society, but you can separate them. But if a man and a man commit this, then how can you separate them? You know, for example, in jails, right, where there are only men, it happens that men are raped by other men. It does happen in boarding schools, where it's all men, in so many places where it's only men, then this crime becomes quite common. And who can prevent a man from committing this

action? You know, if you see a man and woman that are unrelated, walking into a place, then you can be suspicious, right? And you have a right to follow up and stop them from what they're doing. But if a man and men are going somewhere, then how can you say they're doing something wrong? Do you see what I mean? So who can stop a man from a man and when this punishment is not going to be severe, then what's going to happen? It's going to become very common.

isn't at all, because of punishment serves as a deterrent? The severe the harder the tougher the punishment, the less people will commit it. Correct. So this is the reason why the punishment has been prescribed is so severe according to the subnet so that men stay away from it. Because if this crime becomes common, then there is no end to it. There is no end to it. And when it becomes common

then men will become corrupted, boys, children will become corrupted. And we see this, where young boys are literally raped by men. And women will also be affected. How will women be affected? Women will be deprived of their rights, women will be deprived, meaning a woman has a right to be married. But if a man does not have an interest in women than what is she meant to do? If a woman is married to a man, but that man is interested in other men, then she's going to be deprived in that relationship. Isn't that all. And remember that the scholars upset at the punishment for allegedly for a person who commits homosexuality for a gay man. The punishment the first punishment is that he

loses the pleasure of Halal he does not enjoy Halal anymore, meaning he does not find women attractive. If he has a wife, he has no inclination towards her. And this is exactly what people say today. Isn't that so that we just don't like women? We know they're not attracted to women, instead, they're attracted to men. And what's the explanation that is given behind that, this is how we are born. Right. But remember, that homosexual desires homosexual thoughts, this is not that is ingrained in you. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran for Allah Mahaprabhu joola. What Taqwa Allah has put in every person for jewel and Taqwa meaning the potential to sin and the potential to

obey. So, if you are inclined to sin, Allah has also put the other element in you the inclination to obey, if Allah has tested you with a particular desire, he has also given you the strength the means to overcome that, because people are tested in different ways. This is just like a person says, you know, I love alcohol, I crave it, I desired I want it. So person cannot say my body needs it. He cannot say, Well, you know what, I was born with it. So I can't help myself. No, you are tested through this desire, just like many people are tested through other desires. So the bottom line is that this desire, if it comes up in a person, he is not sinful for the desire for the thought. He is

not sinful for that. But if he follows it up with action, if he pursues it, then he is sinful. This is just like a man is attracted to a woman who is not his wife. Okay? He is not responsible for the bad thoughts. What did we learn at the end of surah? Baqarah, That you're supposed to control such thoughts? Isn't its own. But if he says, No, I feel like it, I want it, I'm gonna go to her. And I'm gonna stay with her. And I'm gonna live with her, because this is what I want, then what's the difference between you and an animal? I mean, an animal just does whatever he feels like, right? And if you go on pursuing your desires, living for the sake of your desires, then what's the difference?

Or a child, you know, who does not have maturity, he just wants to fulfill his wishes. He wants scope. He wants juice, right after milk. He wants, you know, different different things, whereas it's going to be very bad for his health, but he still wants it. Do you give it to him? You don't? Why? Because he doesn't know any better. So why should an adult behave like a child? All right. So remember, that the thought itself, a person is not punishable for that the desire itself, a person is not punishable for that. But when he follows it up with action, then he is guilty.

And remember that we as Muslims believe that it is a sin. And we understand that for some people, it is a great struggle. We should understand that. For some people, it is a great struggle. This is just like for an individual, it's very hard for them to get over smoking to get over alcohol to get over drugs. Likewise, for another individual, it may be very hard for them to get over such thoughts, such desire such inclination, because this is what happens that when you do something haram, then you're attracted to it so much that you have no inclination to halal. You don't want to do it. It doesn't make any sense to you, you're not attracted to it at all. So it's going to take

time for a person to get away from the haram to the halal. So we as Muslims should be tolerant in the sense that we should understand what the individual is going through. And we should help them as opposed to saying hateful speech against them. All right. It doesn't mean that what they're doing is okay. It doesn't mean that we let them do it. And we say go ahead and we encourage you, you know, just follow your heart. No, this is not what it means. It is a sin. It is wrong, but we understand your

struggle. This is what it means. And remember, one more thing that were this is a sin. It is still a lesser sin compared to shake.

Okay? It is still a lesser sin compared to shake. When we see a non Muslim we don't say, ah, non Muslim. But if we see a person who is gay, they're like, Oh, stop it. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. Hola. And, you know, like we are so repulsed? Definitely, it's a very repulsive action. I mean, people are different in their nature, right? You may be repulsed by it and other people are not. Okay. But remember that Shik is worse? You know, like some people say that it is better to be a homosexual Muslim than to be mushrik.

Heterosexual. Okay, yes.

How much can such people be helped? I mean, how tolerant can you be towards them? Tolerant in the sense that this think of it as any other problem that a person is going through any of the struggle that individual is going through, okay? Like, for example, your friend, she's not wearing hijab, she says, it's very difficult for me, I can't do it. Remember that when she's not doing it? She is sinful. Every time a man sees her, she exposes her are allowed to him, then she is sinful. What do you say to her? I'm not going to talk to you. Please don't come near me. Is this what you do with her? What do you do? You say, Okay, I understand. You do sit with her, you talk to her, you explain

to her, You guide her, and you keep encouraging her towards what she has to do? Isn't it so? You never become accepting of it? You should not become accepting of it that okay, fine. You don't wear it? Go ahead. No, you should constantly be on her case, however possible, your goal should be to lead her towards what she should do. This is just like if a person is a drug addict, they can't get off of drugs in one day. What happens you gradually wean them off. And for that they need the support or their family and friends. All right. Inshallah, I will get to the final punishment eventually in after the discussion, right. So getting back to the fact that this is still a lesser

sin compared to Schick. And this is a reason why. Remember that for people who are not Muslim, I'm not talking about Muslims. I'm talking about non Muslims who make this choice of living this kind of a lifestyle, then remember that it's their choice. It's not our problem. Just like Schick is their choice. eating pork is their choice. Consuming Riba is their choice. Committing Zina is their choice, consuming alcohol is their choice, wearing certain kinds of clothes is their choice. That's their choice for them, or their deeds, and for us are our deeds. Okay? So remember that living in a society that we are in right now? What is diversity that live and let live, you have your choices,

and people have their choices, you express your approval of something that is correct. And you express your disapproval of something that you believe is wrong. So we don't say that. Okay, homosexuality is allowed. No, we don't say that. We say it is wrong. But it doesn't mean that we start saying things about people who have made this choice. We're non Muslim, that you're going to hellfire. And you're so evil, and you're so dirty, and you're so filthy, and you're this and you're that you're worse than and no, we can't make such comments on them. You understand? We cannot make such comments on them. Because remember, that their homosexuality is their choice, but the * that

they're doing is much worse, we should be more concerned about their ship than about their homosexuality. All right. So this is something that I want you to remember, I want you to understand, but at the same time, we believe it's not great. We don't do it. It's your choice. Okay, just like your choices to eat pork, your choice to eat Riba, your choice to eat whatever. But this is not something that we do. This is not something that we like, this is something that we do not accept. But living in this society. Your actions are yours. Our actions are ours, we're not going to express hatred against you, just like you will not express hatred against us. Because remember that

the laws of Islam are applicable to who to Muslims or non Muslims, Muslims. So always think about Muslims who are suffering from this problem. Now, what's the punishment the punishment is, like I mentioned earlier other in the Quran and the Sunnah it is Cottle. But the ayah says that the one who repents and reforms then for article on human meaning do not punish them.

What does this mean? This means that at the first level the punishment is other. So for example, the family members find out the acquaintances the relatives, the close friends, they find out that a Muslim man or a Muslim woman has entered into such a relationship.

So, what is the responsibility? Either like the father is upset, or the mother, you know, she says something to her or him, okay, either through coal through fear through hedging in whatever way they can manage to stop them. But remember that in a Muslim government, if the Muslim authority catch a person who is guilty of this crime, then the legal punishment will be applied and what is the legal punishment, which is mentioned in the Sunnah, which is Patil.

But again, if a person is caught, and then they say, I promise I'm not going to do this again. They do Toba even after they're caught, the punishment is about to be implemented, but they repent, then in that case, again, they should be left they should not be punished. What's the evidence of that the evidence is that there was a man by the name of Mary's Ben Malik, who committed Zina he was married and for a married man who commit Zina. The punishment is Roger stoning to death. And this man came and confessed to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, I've committed this crime, so clean me, clean me, meaning implement the punishment on me.

So the profits of a lot less than his usual habit was that if people would come and confess like this, he would turn away because he didn't want to implement the punishment on them. Because if Allah has hidden a crime, then let it remain hidden. You repent to Allah beg his forgiveness, and hopefully Allah will forgive you, but don't come and publicize your sin. But this man, you know, he insisted this like that woman also came in insisted that the punishment be implemented. So anyway, he was handed over to the companions of Prophet sallallahu Sallam told them to implement the punishment on him. And when they caught him, and when they were going to implement the punishment,

he started to run away.

He started to run away because he got afraid.

And the Sahaba they caught him and they implemented the punishment on him. And when they told the Prophet salallahu Salam later, that this is what he did, he was running away. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, hon, let the lock to mu, your Tobu via tube Allahu alayhi. Why did you not leave him? So he would repent? And Allah would accept his repentance.

So we see that even until the last moment, if a person repents, then what is to be done? Already luar in Houma, turn away from them accept their repentance, leave them because Allah is Accepting of repentance, and He's forgiving. But if a person is very confident, very bold, very persistent about the wrongs that he's doing, then you have to punish them. Why? Because like I mentioned earlier, if one man does it, then this punishment is going to spread. Because then people get so used to it, they enjoy it so much that what is halal is not enjoyable for them anymore. And then this evil is going to spread within men, and it's going to spread within women, the whole society is going to get

corrupted. And we learned earlier at the beginning of the Surah, that Allah subhanaw taala created Neph Seiwa Haider wahala commend her Zoda or betheme in humare, Jalan cathedral when he says that a couple is which one a man and a woman through whom children can come. That is what a couple is. And this is where the relationship becomes permissible. All right, because a man and woman this is the natural union, a man and men have their together, it's not going to produce any children. This is just fulfillment of lust. This is just fulfilling your desire. And it has many repercussions. And the bottom line is that rectal intercourse is something that is forbidden, and how is a man to enjoy

another man without this kind of relationship? So this is the reason why this is something not only forbidden, but it is something that is severely punishable in our deen as well. But remember, that for those people who are not Muslim, when they make their choice, it's their choice. We dislike it, we don't approve of it. But it doesn't mean we say hate speech against them.

All right.

Then Allah says in the Matoba, to indeed the repentance Allah Allah He upon Allah. What does it mean by this in the Matoba to Allah Allah, that the Toba that is, you can say a duty incumbent on Allah to accept

that the repentance that Allah definitely accepts. The repentance that Allah accepts is from WHO? Li Lavina for those people who Yama Luna Su, who commit the evil meaning the sin, how be Jehovah let them in ignorance. What is your Hala from Jehovah that a person doesn't know? He doesn't know that it is wrong. He doesn't have that knowledge. But ignorance is not just this. Johanna is also when a person temporarily becomes ignorant

that he knew. But in that moment, he forgot. He was so overcome by his desire that he didn't realize what he was doing. And later on, he realized, this is just like in theory, we know we're supposed to sub. We're supposed to control our anger, isn't it? But what happens when someone does something really foolish and you get upset, you become angry? What happens when you're hurting? You don't do something. And then later on, you're like, oh, man,

I learned about something I learned about the hubbub. Right. So we know but at that time, we become gehele

isn't it? So we become ignorant. So if a person commits a sin in ignorance, and then after that, so may or two bounnam and Corrib then they repent from near near over here means in time, meaning as soon as they realize they do Toba.

So firstly, they did not commit the sin deliberately on purpose. It was a mistake, or it was a result of not knowing they had no idea or they knew but they forgot. But as soon as I realized as soon as they got to know they did Toba Sumaya to winnaman curry. So such people Allah says for Hola, aka tube Allahu La him, Allah turns and mercy towards the meaning he accepts the repentance. Why? Because we can Allah who aren't even Hakima Allah is Knowing and he is wise, wise, meaning he knows best who stablish should be accepted whose Toba is sincere, and whose Toba is not sincere. Now, earlier we learned about men who commit the evil act of homosexuality. So one is a man who doesn't

know he has no idea. He commits such an action. But when he finds out what is he supposed to do, Toba? When the family and the friends they do other okay? What is his duty that he should repent? But if he does not repent, he does not do Toba. He persists on his wrong ways, then will his repentance be accepted? Will his saying sorry be accepted? No. He has to repent upon realization.

And when a person commits a sin out of forgetfulness, this is similar to how we say robbing Allah to Edna in Messina. Oh, if we forget, or we make a mistake, when they started doba too, but doba it is not for who Lavinia maluna Say, for those people who commit evils meaning who commit the sins, meaning they do something wrong, and they keep doing it. They keep doing it persistently, they make it a habit, they know they should not be doing it, but they still carry on. Until when Hatta until either harder or had the human mode when death appears to one of them. How long from how to approach that when death approach is one of them. When they see the angel of death, then call her he says in

need to be told, I repent now, an n means now. Meaning I repent I do Tauba Tauba Tauba Tauba

and when they see the angel of death when they realize they're about to die, then they repent all their life until they had the choice until they had the freedom even though they knew what they were doing was wrong. They kept on doing it. But when death approach they started repenting. Allah says their Toba is not accepted.

Who else's though was not accepted. Wala and nor from who Alladhina yomo tuna, those who die well whom Kofa while they're still disbelieving, Crowfall plural of Catherine, meaning the die as disbelievers they die as sinful they die while committing that sin. They never repented from it. Hola Iike artisanal whom are there been a Lima for them, we have prepared a painful punishment. You know if in our own all along he knew that Musala Salam was right. But did he do Toba? Did he repent? No, he didn't. And then finally when he was about to drown What did he say? And do

I want to write that I believe that under hula Illa Illa Illa Allah de m Annette behave and who is that I believe in the same God in whom the Bani Israel believe in. But what is the word accepted? What does Eman accepted? Not at all it was rejected? Why? Because when he had the choice, when he had the freedom to leave the wrong, he never left it deliberately never left it.

And then when his time was over, then he submitted So such kind of Dawa is not accepted. So remember that there are four types of people who repent.

Firstly, are those who repent immediately. What does it mean by immediately? Not that they say, Yeah, I know this is something wrong. I'll just do it and then I'll do

it.

Like, for example, a person says, I know it's haram to eat pork, but you know what, I really want to have it like, I've always wondered how it tastes. You know, I love meat, and I've always wanted to try it. So you know what? I'm going to have some and immediately I'm going to do is

is this what it means? No. They do it in ignorance. They didn't know about it. They forgot completely. And a Muslim can ever forget that pork is haram. Right? There's something that you always remember. I remember there was a kid once I saw in a Muslim playgroup or something and kids were having pizza.

And one boy, his younger brother was given pepperoni pizza. Okay, so this older brother, he goes to the teacher, although she was a Muslim teacher, he said, we're not allowed to have that.

My mom said we cannot have it.

He didn't know that in a Muslim environment. He will be given Halal pepperoni he was always so used to being at school and being offered pepperoni pizza that he knew that he's not supposed to have it. So when the teacher brought it the Muslim teacher he said we can't have it. So this is something that we don't forget. All right, that pork is haram. It's something that we don't forget. So if a person says you know, what I'm gonna have an I'm gonna do is to follow immediately this is not repenting immediately. Repenting immediately means that when a person commits a sin without realizing out of forgetfulness, as soon as he realizes he does though, this person has Toba is

accepted or rejected, accept it. The second type of person is the one who delays the Oba.

Like, for example, a person sleeps on the night. Fighter time comes in, and he's still sleeping.

They missed their budget. And then they wake up. And they're like, Oh, I missed it. Too bad. What can I do? Whatever. Still early anyway, I was too tired.

And then the next day comes. And again, same thing, the mister budget, whatever, what can I do? And the next day, what can I do? And the next day, what can I do?

And then one day, they're like, You know what? I think it's right. Maybe I should, you know, think about praying Fudger on time. So like, you know what, it's okay. But the summer pass? I'll pray in winter.

Yeah, or let the week pass. I'll be on the weekend.

So they say, I will repent later. Do you see what I mean? They're not repenting. Immediately, they say I will repent later. Now for such a person, when he does repent eventually, whether it's the next day, or the next week, or the next month, or the next season or the next year, whenever they repent, repent later, remember that it is up to Allah, He can accept their repentance, and he can reject the repentance.

He can accept it. And he can also reject it.

And this is a very risky situation, very risky. That a person keeps delaying, delaying and delaying thinking when I turned 20, then I'll start waking up or Fudger when I started going to university, then I'll start waking up prefer when I'm married, and I'll do it when I have kids, then I'll do it. When my kids are older than I'll do it and life goes on.

Right? So this delay in repentance means that it's quite possible that your repentance is not accepted. What's the solution? What should be done? That when you wake up realizing that you did not wake up or Fajr don't do anything until you pray your Fajr first of all, and secondly, you seek Allah's forgiveness. And you make a commitment to not make the same mistake again the next day. And how can you do that? By preparing yourself mentally, physically, spiritually, so that you ensure that you wake up 100 The next morning, if you're sleeping at one o'clock, two o'clock, it's not going to be possible for you to wake up at five. Right? Likewise, mentally prepare yourself if you

tell yourself it's too early, I cannot wake up then you won't be able to wake up you have to tell yourself I am going to wake up.

Set an alarm have someone to wake you up. But if you don't do anything about it, and one day after the other is going then you are in big trouble. This is something very serious. You know what the punishment is for deliberately leaving salah? Do you know what it is? What's the punishment? What are the repercussions? What does the Hadith tell us that the difference between Iman and kufr the difference between faith and disbelief is what? Darko Salah leaving salah, meaning the one who intentionally leaves the prayer. It's as though he is committing disbelief. This is something very serious. In a hadith we learn the Prophet sallallahu Sallam mentioned about the one who he saw being

punished there.

at how his his head was being crushed with a huge rock with a huge boulder, and who was that the one who sleeps through a solitary October, the one who sleeps through mandatory prayer he sleeps through the time and forgets the Quran that he learned. This is the punishment for the one who deliberately leaves the salah.

A man was mentioned before the Prophet salallahu Salam, that he slept through the prayer, and the Prophet sallallahu sallam said Satan urinated in his ear.

I mean, that's disgusting. We don't see it. But it's it's disgusting. The Champon has so much control over us like laughing at you being on you. I mean, this is something not small. This is disgusting.

In a hadith, we also learned that the one who performs the two cool prayers for Judah and also that he will be admitted into Jannah he'll be saved from the punishment of hell. So in other words, if your father is not right, then you are at a huge risk, you could potentially go to hellfire. Really, if Fajr is not right. So we cannot have a casual attitude towards collateral further. We have to become serious about it. Doba is for who? Those who commit a sin in ignorance. In ignorance, they didn't know. Or they set the alarm. They were mentally ready to wake up. But they didn't hear anything. Nobody came to wake them up. And then as soon as they woke up, even if it was 15 minutes

after the time expired, what do they do? Oh, I've missed it anyway, so let me sleep for two more hours. No, they get up and they pray immediately.

This is hola Erica to bounnam and Corrib. Those who repent immediately, such people their Toba is accepted, but those who keep delaying keep delaying keep denying of what's going to happen there, Toba is not accepted. Or it's up to Allah that He will either accept or reject for those who procrastinate. The third type of people are those who do Toba at the time of death when they see the angel of death. Then they start doing Toba. Such people their Toba is not accepted at all, like Fiddler on the fourth type of people are those who do not do Toba at all. Even when the angel of death shows up. They don't repent or they don't get a chance to repent because they died in an

instant. They don't get a chance to repent at all. So the die in that state again their Toba is rejected. So who is the only safe group? Those who repent immediately? We are weak. We do make mistakes. We sin. What's the solution to Toba? But who can do Toba? The one who fears Allah the one who wants Jana the one whose heart is inclined to Allah. Such a person can repent and the one who is distant far away they will not prevent let's listen to the recitation
