Taleem al Quran 2012 – P08 092D Tafsir Al-Araf 94-102

Allah says women are sunnah and we did not send ficaria to in any nation. Mina be in any profit Illa except a hardener we seized its people, Bill but Sir II with poverty will the law and the hardship, the adversity learn the home so that they have their own day become humble. Now Allah subhanaw taala comments on the different nations that have been mentioned over here one after the other, that every nation, what happened when Allah sent a prophet to them? Then when those people disbelieved, when they did not listen to the messenger, it wasn't that all of a sudden Allah subhanaw taala sent a punishment and destroyed those people. No, no, it wasn't like that. Because we might think over

here, reading all of these stories, the why is it like this, that every time a nation disbelieved Allah subhanaw taala just destroyed them? It didn't happen within a day. No, Haile Salam, he preached his people for how long? Two days, one day 950 years. So in that time, many things happened. Allah subhanaw taala showed them the truth in many ways. Warn them in many ways. How that first of all, when the disbelieved. Allah sees the people with what hardship and adversity but sal de la These are words we have done many times but sad is poverty adversity below illness, misfortune, hard times. So in other words, Allah subhanaw taala sent temporary punishment upon them.

Why? So that they would become humble, you'll build our own blog, Lorraine.

What does it mean by you'll build our own we did the word toddler who are an earlier Call upon your Lord, how the Lord Ruler on with humility, making yourself small.

So they would become humble. They would

turn to Allah they will cry before Allah. What does this teach us? That whenever Allah sends a calamity, or misfortune or difficulty upon his servant, why is that so? So that the servant would humble before Allah? Because many times, what happens is that people don't think about Allah. They don't seek forgiveness for their sins. But when they become needy, then their neediness turns them to Allah.

Doesn't that happen? If all as well, everything is fine, people are lost in their lives busy enjoying themselves, somebody tells them this is not right to say whatever, somebody tells them do this, this is good to say, you know, I'm too busy. But when they become sick, and they're lying in bed, when they lose their job, and they need money to pay their bills, when you know a disaster strikes them, then what happens? Eventually they think about making art.

Like, for instance, if you've been doing really well at school, you have an exam coming up, you're very confident about it, would you make dua, perhaps not. But if you've been so busy, that you've hardly had the time to study, and you know that if you fail that test, that's it. Your parents are going to be very upset with you, you're not going to get the credit in order to you know, apply for a particular course for a particular program. So then what happens until you start the exam, you're just making the law like crazy, aren't you?

Because you know that you can't do it yourself. You need Allah's help. So Allah puts us in difficulty sometimes, so that we turn to Him.

We feel the need to turn to Allah, the people of our own also imagine those tyrants Allah subhanaw taala sent them one punishment after the other why? So that they would turn to Allah and they did every time a disaster happened. They would go to Musa Al s&m and say, you make dua to Allah. If this is removed from us, we will believe. But what would happen every time I would make dua, the difficulty was removed with the people believe no, it's just like a person goes into their exam unprepared and they're making are like anything. Yeah, Allah, you save me. I believe in you, I love you. I'll do this. I'll do that I trust in You. And they remember all the names and attributes of

Allah and the shoulder service due to Allah and they write their test. And after the test, they feel as if Yeah, you know they did well, and to say that 100 Allah and then they go party. When the time for prayer comes down to lazy

right? Many times it happens that when people are needy that turn to Allah. As soon as their need is fulfilled. They forget

Hola. So when this happens that they forget Allah from medulla, then we replaced we exchanged Magana place a sejati of the evil, meaning in place of the evil. What do we bring instead? The lesson the good, meaning that Allahu replaces bad times, hard times with good times, when they didn't take a lesson from hard times, that what happened, Allah subhanaw taala removed those difficulties from them, and instead blessed them with many blessings, enjoyment, happiness, money, everything that people want. Al Hasan, so much hasn't had that until our phone, they prospered our phone was from our info well, and remember, that often means forgiveness, and it also means prosperity increase. So

until they increased in their power in their wealth in their happiness, they had so much that again, they forgot Allah will call you and they said, God, in fact, Messiah it touched Abba, Anna, our forefathers of love row was a Baroque hardship. Ursula is it's the opposite of that, meaning our forefathers, the people before us, even there suffered from hard times and good times. So it's not a big deal. You know, if we were suffering just two years ago, if we were really sick, meaning they don't remember Allah at this time, they don't thank Allah for taking them out of difficulty. Rather, what do they say? This is just life, this happens in life. Sometimes you're happy. Sometimes you're

sad. Sometimes you're lucky. And sometimes you're unfortunate. Sometimes you have everything you want. And sometimes you don't have everything you want. This is normal. This is what happens in life. Is that true? Yes, it does happen in life. But who is it that sent that adversity to you? Who allowed it to happen? And who took that away from you, Allah? So it doesn't happen? Just by itself? There is someone who was causing all of this. But people who don't take any lesson from their circumstances, what do they say, Oh, this is just normal. Well, this just happens. Yeah, I failed my last exam. But yeah, today I passed it. It's just normal. They don't think about Allah for a while

now home, then we sees them above that, and suddenly a home layup Sharon, and they don't even realize,

what do we see over here, that how Allah subhanaw taala doesn't punish people immediately. He makes them go through hardship. So they remember him that turned to him. And if they don't take a lesson from that, then their hardship is replaced with ease and comfort. And when it's replaced with ease and comfort, then people think, yeah, it's all good. This is just normal. This is life. This is what happens. And then Allah's punishment comes upon them.

Then Allah subhanaw taala catches them. But a believer when he goes through difficulty, he thinks very differently. In a hadith we learn the matter of the believer is amazing for nothing that Allah decrees for him, except that it is better for him. If some difficulty some harm strikes him, he is patient, and that is better for him. And if he's given some prosperity, that he thanks Allah, and that is better for him. But this happens only with who, the believer and those who lack Eman than what happens with them in hard times. They remember Allah or they don't even remember Allah. Some hearts are so hard that even in the most difficult times they don't think about Allah. Even when

they are so needy, they don't raise their hands in order to make dua, they remain arrogant. Nothing breaks their ego. So when nothing breaks their ego, what is it that finally reached their hearts, it's the fire of health, because nothing melted them. So the fire of hell will eventually torture them that is what will reach their hearts and let it the follow through on an ADA, such fire that will reach the hearts.

And when such people don't take a lesson from their difficulties, then Allah replaces that with good and when they're having a good time when they're enjoying, then they think everything is fine. It's just normal ups and downs of life. They don't take a lesson from anything and then Allah subhanaw taala sense punishment upon them, then they're caught house suddenly, because they weren't expecting it. When the difficulty is removed, and the person thinks my life is all good now, everything's gonna be okay.

And then Allah ceases then, in a hadith we learn modal fragility, Rama material movement, we're off to a Sufi little cafe, that sudden death is a mercy for the believer. Sudden Death is what a man

See for the believer How?

How is it a mercy for the believer, if he dies suddenly, like, for example, some people, they have a sudden heart attack, and that's it, they're done. Or they're sleeping, and they just never wake up. Or all of a sudden they were in a car crash and they died. How was it a mercy for a believer? Don't we think it's such a tragedy? Isn't that how we generally view it? How was it a mercy for the believer?

Because death came to them quickly. Right? Death is not easy. Dying is something that is very painful because when the Roar is being extracted from the body, it's a very painful experience, I shall blow on her. She said that when I saw the prophets of Allah, Islam and the pangs of death, then I knew that it's not bad if someone goes through it, meaning it's normal. Because generally, we think that if someone is dying with a lot of difficulty, then they must be a very evil person. But the fact is that death is painful. And if a person becomes extremely old,

extremely old, is old age easy. Is it easy, it has so many difficulties with it. I know of this one person, they're extremely old, almost 100 years of age. And mashallah, they have no physical problems in the sense that they have no diseases, no heart problems, no blood sugar issues, nothing. No thyroid issues, nothing at all. And now, their body has become so weak because of wear and tear, that their shoulder is broken, in the sense that it's not something that for which she has to change her diet, or she has to take any medications, nothing. It's just that her shoulder is broken, she can't lift her arm, her posture has changed, right. And the digestive system has become so weak that

she cannot swallow easily, and she cannot use the washroom easily.

And it's so difficult to see them in the Spain. For them to bear that pain. It's so difficult. This is why we see that we have been taught the DUA that Allah Almighty Allah will become an authority or more from the decrepit old age in which a person has become so weak and weak and weak, because that is very painful, very painful for a person himself. And also for those around them to watch them go through this. If a person is in a hospital bed, lying for three months, five months, and then he gradually gradually gradually dies. That is painful, insha Allah, we are hopeful that Allah subhanaw taala is purifying them, right that he is purifying them, before he calls them and we should always

be hopeful. Always think positively about people who are suffering in this way. Never think, oh, they must be very evil. This is why Allah is punishing them through this. No. We are hopeful that Allah is purifying them in sha Allah. But we see that if a person dies suddenly, that is a mercy. But it can only be for who for a believer like the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, but sudden death the Prophet sallallahu sallam said is this sorrowful punishment for the disbeliever because he had long hopes. He had huge plans to have fun in this way in that way to do this, and that and all those hopes and plans gone down the drain, you're finished. So we see that a believer when he goes through

difficulty, he comes out different. And when a disbeliever goes through difficulty than what happens, he doesn't take a lesson. He doesn't turn to Allah and His outcome is very different.

Allah says well, Oh, and if an indeed Al Quran, the people of the towns and Coura, plural of Korea, what is Korea city, the people of the cities if they had Armano if they had believed, what the coal and they had feared Allah? If only they had believed in the messengers, if only they had feared Allah and changed their ways, then what would happen less? Surely we would have opened our lay him upon them volcat and blessings mean a summer from the sky while out and the earth that Allah would have sent blessings on them from the sky and the earth from above and below.

What do we learn over here the blessings of Eman?

What do we think generally, that if we become Muslim, if we take our deen seriously, then what will happen? Life will become difficult. For example, if I start wearing the hijab, it will be difficult for me to continue working where I am working. If I pray right now at my workplace, people might get offended. If I'm honest over here, I'm not going to make any money. People think like this, right? It is these fears that prevent us from obeying Allah isn't at all. It is these fears. But what does Allah say here? That

If they had believed and adopted the Aqua, then we would have filled their lives with blessings, blessings from above and blessings from below more than they could handle.

So what is the benefit of Eman? That, yes there will be suffering. But with the suffering after the suffering, Allah will definitely reward a person in this world and in the hereafter. Many times we associate religion with problems. But that's not the case. With everything, there are going to be challenges, but with a man with religion also come many blessings. And this is the Promise of Allah subhanaw taala. and reflect on what happened with the companions of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in Mecca. What were the people who used to drink during the day, and commit Zina in the night that what their life was about? Who would go and worship the idols, make the idols and then eat them up later?

Who would fight with one another, and kill brother kill friend, whatever, doesn't matter why, because he heard my ego he did this, he did that.

This was what their life was about. There were people who were heading towards their own destruction. But what happened when they believed they became the conquerors of Rome and Persia,

they became owners of so much wealth that they couldn't even handle it. At the time of Irma bin Abdulaziz. People used to go out looking for those who could accept charity, because everyone had so much money, they didn't need charity. Can you imagine? Every person was wealthy at that time, every person had enough at that time that you had to look for the poor search for the poor. Where are those poor people whom we can give money to? This was a state of the OMA at that time. Why? Because of their Iman, and because of their Dakhla.

But we think that we have to leave Islam or keep away from it, or, you know, have a safe distance away from it. Why? Because if we take Islam too seriously, our lives are going to become difficult. That's not the case. Difficulty will happen, beloved old Willow Warren who, yes, he did suffer a lot. He was tortured, physically abused, the Muslims of Makkah that were driven out of Makkah. Many were killed, many lost their lives. They experienced poverty, a lot of hardship, but eventually was there not relief, there was relief? Why does Allah subhanaw taala make a believer go through difficulty, so that a believer can be confirmed about his fate, because what comes easy, will go

easily as well. Right. But when you have to fight for something, and you have to fight in order to have it, then what happens? You value it, when you have to struggle to get something when you have to suffer for something, then you hold on to it, then you value with much more

remodeled low iron, who, at his time, the Muslims conquered many great lands. And he traveled basically to those places in order to enter the city as the victors. While he was traveling, he passed by a place that was very muddy. So I've already dealt with our new he told him that you know, you are the leader of the believers, please sit on the horse, so that your clothes don't get dirty. Because if you're covered in mud, and you walk into the city as a victor like that, people are not going to think much of you. So at least sit on the horse. So he said, Oh, shame on you.

Shame on you. We were a people who are nothing and Allah brought us honor. By what? By Islam. And if we seek honor through something other than Islam, that Allah will humiliate us.

What do we want, we want to leave Islam so that we can become honorable, but it's the other way around Exactly. The other way around. When a person believes has Duckworth and Allah who will increase him in his honor, he will give him more and more of this life, more and more of the blessings of this life.

A person is doing something wrong haram. And he thinks that if I leave it, my life is going to become very difficult. No, it's not going to become difficult. Initially there will be difficulty but Allah will place Baraka in your life, peace in your life, happiness in your life. Happiness, I know of a lady that I just spoke to her recently and she was telling me that once she was giving a big donation, and the person they said to them that you know what, keep this and leave your mortgage house. And I said I have made the intention. I am going to do it. And she said within days literally, her house was sold for the asking price. Recently I visited her new house. It's

a rental house. But believe me, it's 1000 times better than the other house that they were living in before. 1000 times better you enter, you feel relaxed, it's peaceful. You can feel that the people of this house are relaxed, they're happy. They're living good lives, empowered lives. And there are others who are living in houses, which they have bought on haram. And the moment you enter, you feel that discomfort. You feel that discomfort, but we think that we have to stick to these ways because if we lose it and what will we have? If we sell it then what will we have? Allah is testing you. What are you going to give up for his sake? If you give up something for his sake, Allah will not

deprive you He will give you something much better than what you gave up for him. When an island kura Amma know what taco luffa Tatiana Ali Baba katomina sama you will have. Eman has also good deeds. So if we perform good deeds, that which is right that which Allah has commanded, then it is not possible that you will suffer. Suffering will be temporary. But Allah will bless you fill your life with baraka from the sky and the earth while I can but can the will they rejected for a while now home so we seize them the map can we actually born because of what they used to earn? Meaning the majority of the people what is their case, that they remain firm on their wrong ways. They

refuse to believe they refuse to change. And when they remain like that, then how can someone help you? How can someone help you if you don't want to help yourself? How? Well I can cut them who they rejected. So as a result, they were punished in through the Nahal io 97 We learn Manami la sala Herman Decker in our own well, who are more men Fela nahi jana who hired on by Eva, that whoever does righteousness whether male or female, while he is a believer, then we will surely cause him to live a good life.

A good life, and we seek the people of unison SLM what happened with them? Yesterday, Sam, he got upset, right? And what did he do?

What did unisource and M do? He left them. So he left them thinking that Allah will turn his punishment upon them. But instead Allah was upset with Yunus on his cylinder, why did you leave without my permission? So eventually, when you lose or the salam went back, the people had already believed, because they took a lesson from the warning of Yunus or listener. They were afraid that okay, you said he's leaving Allah mites and punishment, then we're doomed. Other nations were also given such a warning, but did they pay attention to that? Did they believe no, they didn't. So the people of universe are so happy they believed and when they believed, then the last panel Darla

caused them a good life to live.

And this is a case with every person, every person, the one who believes that Allah will give him a good life and those who don't. Then Allah asks for Amina, did he then feel secure? Amina from Hamza mean noon, Amman, Amman, his word, peace, safety, security, that when you don't feel threatened, when you don't have any danger, Allah says, Did he feel secure, who alone Coura the people of the cities, a to whom belt should come to them but sooner our punishment by it and by nine to one Hoonah e Moon while they are sleeping, by at from biota bathe his home house and buy at by night meaning because the house is where people spend their night now implored of name from no noon well mean. Did

the people who are sinning who are disobeying Allah? Do they feel secure from the punishment of Allah? Can Allah not send punishment to them in their homes while they're sleeping in the night? Do they feel secure from Allah's punishment? And what Amina do they then feel secure alone Quran the people of the towns to whom that it should come to them but sooner our punishment, Boo ha. By morning, in morning, while home y'all are a boon while they are playing. Y'all are born from Larry blam are invited to play meaning while they're busy going out and about their daily lives. Do they think that Allah will not send punishment to them? The fact is, that Allah can send his punishment

upon a person anytime, any second. No person can ever, ever feel secure. So while we are disobeying Allah while we are singing, we should remind ourselves what if, what if the ceiling falls on me? What if the earth splits below me? What if

There's an earthquake, the next second the next moment. What if I get a heart attack? Is that not possible? Is that not possible? It is very much possible. People who get struck by sudden calamities, unexpected storms? Were they prepared for it or? No? Did they feel secure from it? Definitely. Because if they didn't feel secure from it, they wouldn't be there at that time. Recently, you must have heard that in the UK, in a pub, a police helicopter crashed onto the ceiling of the pub.

Just imagine police helicopter, the policeman, they're gone and hundreds of people inside, injured and many dead. Imagine what a place today a pub in the night in the middle of the night. So never go to a place where you do not want to die. And never do anything that you don't want to die doing.

If you're afraid of meeting Allah in that state, then keep away from it. Because really, we don't know when death is coming. We don't know when Allah subhanaw taala might send this punishment on us because of the sins that we are committing despite the warnings that we have received. Allah warns us of Amina Al Quran, do one bit sooner Bharat and while HomeNet II mourn over Amina Quran and yet to whom but sunnah Bohan wa whom we are born for me no makalah did they then feel secure from the plot of Allah from the plan of Allah? From the punishment of Allah? Why is the punishment called mercury? Because Mercury has a hidden plot, a hidden plan, you know that someone is contriving

against someone, and he has no idea. He has no idea. And all of a sudden he is caught in the middle of that plot, and he cannot escape. So Allah warns us for me Norma could Allah do they feel secure from the plan of Allah? Fela Yep, Manu, so he does not feel secure McCullough Allah from the plot of Allah Illa except on como hacer, on the losers, the people who are losers, the losing people who will suffer great loss. They are the ones who are not afraid of the punishment of Allah. When they're not afraid that what happens they keep doing what they want to they keep fulfilling their desires, they don't change their ways and when they don't change their ways Allah punishes them. And

then what do they suffer nothing but loss, only loss of Amino macro Allah fillet mono MCRA Allah He il como hos you don't listen is why all of us should be very careful. very alert. When we're doing anything wrong, you know, when you're listening to music, for instance, and you're struggling with it, like you want to leave it but if you just have a habit, tell yourself What if the angel of death appears before me right now this instance? What if, when we're yelling at someone cursing them, even if they may be older to us, even if they may be our parents, our grandparents and we're very angry. Ask yourself What if I get a heart attack this moment and I drop? What if? Is that a possibility?

Definitely. Do I want to die like this? Never. So always be afraid. A believer is always afraid. Why do you think duck wire is so important? What is taqwa? Fear of Allah, right? Fear that if I say this, I'll be punished. If I do this, I'll be punished. So I better not say this. I better not do this. I should stay away from it. I should control myself. I should hold myself back.

So a believer he never feels secure from the punishment of Allah, or he's always afraid. This is why he's always between fear and hope. Fear afraid of Allah. Hope, hopeful of Allah's Mercy has an adversity said the believer performs the acts of worship, meaning he does good, all the while fearing Allah. The whole time he is afraid of Allah in fright, and anxiety. He's afraid. What if this doesn't get accepted? What if because of my sins, the good that I'm doing gets wasted. He's all the time in fear, fright and anxiety and a sinful person. He commits the act of disobedience while feeling safe, while feeling safe.

This is why we see that, for instance, you might find it difficult to say certain words, bad words.

And there are other people who just say them easily all the time. Every second word in their sentences what a curse word or swear word. And you don't say it. But what happens when you keep listening to such people and when you keep in mind

worrying them. Then one day you're like, let me try to let me say, let me just say this once. And you feel like wow. What remember that when you said it and you had that wow feeling? What did you lose there? The strength of your email and your Eman became weak because your Eman will keep you afraid of Allah's punishment. And because of that you won't say something that Allah doesn't approve off. You want to do something that Allah doesn't approve. And if you see people doing wrong, openly, publicly, happily boldly, confidently, then realize that what they're missing is one event. So don't get affected by them. Don't admire them realize that they're missing a great treasure.

So the believer he performs the acts of worship all the while feeling fear in fright and anxiety and the 5g the sinful he commits the act of disobedience while feeling safe. Fela Yep, Manu McCullough. Il como hos your own, then Allah addresses us our did not Yeah, the IT guide Lilla Dena to those people who yet the sooner they inherit an above the earth member the after Alia it's people, meaning those who have inherited the land, after its previous owners are gone.

Who are these people? Those who have inherited the land, after its previous people are gone. Its previous owners are gone. Meaning the past generations now they're gone. And now there are some people who have inhabited the Earth. They're living on the earth. So who are these people who are living on the Earth? Who? us? Allah is talking about us? Our lamb? Yeah, the Lavina Uri thornell or Berman Verde, Lisa, has not become clear to them, has it not guided them? What? I'm that loan Usher? Or if we will have Saba now whom we could afflict them, we could reach them meaning with punishment be the Nubian because of their sins? Has it not become clear to them? That the people who live

before now they're gone? And now we're living? Has it not become clear to us that if Allah wants he can punish us for our sins? Is it clear to us? Allah is asking us, is it clear to us that, if we do wrong, Allah can punish us for our wrong?

Is this a lesson that we've learned from the people of the past, from the stories of the nations that are mentioned, that we have learned?

If we haven't learned this lesson, then we have learned nothing?

From all of the stories that are mentioned here, what's the main lesson we learn that if Allah wants, he can punish us for our sins,

we commit sins, and we forget them. Whereas in reality, they have been recorded, they have been written down, they have been preserved. And if we don't seek forgiveness for them, if we don't change our ways, then we should be afraid that Allah can punish us for our sins. Because the people of the past why were they punished for no wrong? For nothing wrong, that they didn't know they were punished because of their sins. So if we are committing sins as well, how can we feel safe, that nothing will happen? So do whatever you want.

When not tomorrow, and we can seal Allah Kenobi him on their hearts, for whom so they lay us Marone they would not listen to me they would lose the ability to listen. Meaning has it not become clear to them that if Allah wants, Allah can set a seal on the hearts of the people on our hearts. So we would lose the ability to listen and take a lesson. Take any benefit. What does it mean by this? That if a person listens, he hears the warning. He finds out the guts to know okay, this is right and this is wrong. But he doesn't change. He doesn't accept that advice. He recognizes what wrong is he has heard repeatedly again and again. Riba is haram interest is haram interest is haram if our

children know anything, what is it? Interest is Hello. It's something that's clear to everybody all Muslims. They might not know big things about salah many things about the cat but what they do know is that interest is haram.

Right? But still, if we don't change our ways, if we don't leave haram, then Allah warns us that we can set a seal on

their hearts. So they would lose the ability to listen. Meaning, then their hearts will be sealed. And then they will learn. This is right, this is wrong, but they will not take any benefit. Because what happens is that the first time you find out about something that this is right, this is wrong, that affects your heart. Right? You get motivated to change to do something to leave something. And if you leave that wrong, then what happens? Allah subhanaw taala gives you ability to become better and better and better. But if a person listens, and he gets emotional, and then he doesn't change anything, then what will happen the next time that he will listen. Yeah, I know, I should pray. Next

time again, somebody will remind them. Yeah, I know, I should have pushed you on my part. I know I should be praying five times a day, but nothing affects them anymore. First time they heard it, it shook their heart, the 10th time they're hearing it doesn't affect them at all. Why? Because the heart becomes hard. It becomes sealed. You know, like if a bottle is sealed, can you pour something inside? Can you put something inside it? No. If a jar is closed, if a box is closed, then you pour, pour, you try to put something inside, but nothing will go inside. Why? Because the person did not open the lid. He did not create the chain the necessary change. So when he didn't change himself,

that Allah will take that ability away from him as a punishment. When not to Verona Kulu Bingham, for whom lair smile, they will not be able to understand even they will not take heed. And sometimes this happens that a person is told and reminded again and again. But it says though he doesn't listen. It's like, you know, children, their parents tell them something, do this. And they have become parent deaf. Why? Because every time their mom says something they ignore every time they're moms, they ignore, ignore, ignore, to the point that they don't even hear their mothers anymore. The mother may be yelling, screaming at the top of her voice, but the child has just lost in his world.

She's yelling, and he doesn't hear No, he doesn't. And just like that, a child is crying. The mother ignores the child, and the child is crying and screaming and the mother she's going about normally, as if nothing has happened and other people are freaking out. Your child is screaming. Yeah, no, it's okay.

Then it doesn't bother the person anymore, right?

The first time the mother hears her child scream, she gets frazzled, she gets worried what happened to my child. And then she hears another scream and scream and scream to the point that she becomes deaf to her child. So she doesn't even listen to the child screams. She doesn't even recognize them. The child may be in pain and agony, but she's used to ignoring those screams and calls so she doesn't pay any attention. So this is what happens to a person who doesn't take heed from Allah's warnings. That eventually a time comes when the heart becomes hard. And then he doesn't change at all. Allah says DeLuca that Al Quran the town's meaning all of the stories that are mentioned over

here, about towns, different nations and the crosswind. I read from off salt slot or Laker upon you may remember from IT news, meaning some news, some information you've been told about it. This is not everything. Just a few details. Allah subhanaw taala has told you what occurred and certainly just at home, it came to them who will also leave home their messengers, their messengers came to them, Bill by unit with the clear proofs. Every messenger that came What did he say? Called the jetco? By Hinata mirabito. So they brought them clear proofs, but the people from us or not can who they were, leave me know that they believe why they didn't believe why be mad because of what cause

abou they denied me in Kabul before because they refuse to believe the first time what happened later on, as the truth only become clearer and clearer. Still, they couldn't believe why. Because once you say no to something, once you say no to someone, then later on, it gets difficult for you to agree with them. It becomes more difficult for you to say yes to them. Is that so?

Like for example, somebody who says I want you to come over to my house this on this day. And you don't like this person. So you say no, I'm busy so I can't come

and then later on you find out that all your friends are going

and you want to go for are you able to tell her that I want to come? Are you able to know why? Because what will she say?

I said no first now I'm saying I want to come. So what prevents a person from saying yes, later on, it's their ego. Right? So just like that when the people disbelieved the first time, later on as a truth became only clear, they weren't able to believe they weren't able to accept Iman.

Why? Because then they would be accepting that they were wrong. And they didn't want to do that. And also, what happens is that Allah takes the field away from a person, he doesn't give him tofield anymore. When he says no to Allah, then Allah doesn't give him any more good chances. He refuses to grant his blessing to the one who has rejected it. Think about it, if you offer something to someone, and they say, No, I don't want it. What do you say? Fine. Don't take it. And later on, they ask you like, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna give it to you. Right. So this is what happens in this world also, that if a person refuses to accept something good, then later even if he wants

it, he cannot have it. So what happened with the people of the past, the truth came to them, it was clear to them, but because they refused the first time, then no matter how many times they were warned, even if new Harless and I'm preached to them for 950 years, it didn't make a difference. Because I Lika like that yellow bar Allahu Allah sets a seal on a Colombian caffeine on the hearts of the disbelievers y'all tomorrow. earlier. Also, we learned blah, blah, right? To set a seal, meaning such people because of their disbelief, what happened, Allah set a seal on their hearts, when their hearts were sealed. That's it, they wouldn't change that they wouldn't believe that. So

what's the lesson in this for us? What can we learn from this for ourselves?

What do we learn from the example of the people of the past that Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned in so much detail here? Yes. Okay, good. That if we realized that we were wrong, then what should we do? Accept our mistake, make the required change? Because if we don't, who are we depriving ourselves who's going to suffer? We are suffering. If, for example, in a test, you find out that you made a mistake, and your group in charge says, you know, who means he? It doesn't mean them. You're like, no, no, no, it's them. So you better give me the mark. And doesn't that look kind of foolish, quite foolish, but people will argue for a mark. And they will say, But sister Tamia said that, and

I will check on the recording and prove it to you. For example, I could have honestly made a mistake, right? But if a person insists, insists, insists, then always going to suffer. They're going to suffer, right? So when we recognize something wrong in ourselves, when somebody tells us about something good something, right, something better than what should we do? Accept it, and make the change instantly. Because if you don't make that change, instantly, you defer, you delay, then at the end, you will suffer. Many times it happens that you are in your house, right? For instance, these days, you go home, and you take your jacket off, and your boots off and your gloves off and

your hat off everything. And you're like, let me just leave it by the door. I'll put it away later. When does later come the next time you have to go out of the house? Right? So what is best? Then what you have to do now? Do it? Why are you delaying it to letter? Right now if you're busy later, you'll be even more busy. Right now you have three things to do tomorrow, you'll have five things to do. Because with every second, our work is increasing. Right? So the main lesson here is that once we find out about something then Samir know what authority because if there's a delay, Samira nella and let me think about it,

then it turns into our Selena instead of a foreigner, it turns into a subpoena. And then a person says, Yeah, I want to Athena. But it doesn't happen. Either because you find it more difficult, or because Allah takes that away from you. May Allah protect us from that woman which I did. Allah says And We did not find the axillary him for most of them. Minara then any covenant, meaning we found most of them, breaking their promise breaking their covenant, which covenant which promise that they had made with Allah, all of us before we were sent to this earth, when Allah subhanaw taala created Adam or escena. He brought all of the souls in front right and why

happen Allah subhanaw taala asked all the people allow us to build up Beco, Am I not your Lord? And every single one of us every single human being? You replied, Yes, Bella. All right, this is referred to as our Aleste. So when people are sent to this world, they have to keep true to that promise that yes, Allah, You are my Lord, I will worship you, I will obey you, I will listen to you, I will not disobey you. This is a promise that we've made with Allah. It is within our natural instinct. It's in our subconsciousness, even if we don't remember it fully, and of course, none of us remembers it. But its effects are there.

Its effects are there. It's just like, you don't remember everything that happened in your childhood. But does it affect you till today? Has it shaped your personality? Definitely. Do you remember if somebody yelled at you, when you were two years old, or hurt when you were three years old, you might not remember a thing.

But those events they shaped you. So just like that this earth lesson has shaped us how that in our heart is the longing, the yearning, to worship Allah to turn to Allah the heart reaches, you know, seek someone great. And who is that great one, Allah subhanaw taala. Some people, they get stuck in others, right? They find someone you know, very beautiful, attractive, impressive. So they start literally worshipping them, they start serving them, their life revolves around them.

And other people, they only settle with who Allah Subhana Allah. So Allah says over here that women were Gianelli, accetti human Earth, the majority of the people we did not find in them any covenant meaning they didn't keep true to their covenant. What in wotja than and indeed, in over here means Indeed, indeed, we found a thorough home most of them left us a clean, surely disobedient crossing limits, majority of the people, Allah subhanaw taala has found them to be how Fasttech sinful.

So if you are a minority, if you feel like a loner, then be happy. Because majority is what facet, they're sinful. They're disobeying Allah. Everyone's has curse words. Everyone dresses up inappropriately, everyone says something does something and you are living differently. Your speech is different, your lifestyle is different, your eating habits are different.

Be glad about that. Like in the Hadees, we learned

that Islam came about as the people who are horrible strangers, once a year who are even and soon it will return as something strange meaning soon it will become like something strange and weird, something that only a few people do. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said for Toba in all of that, so good news to the strangers. So majority is not authority majority is not always right.

You have to use your mind you have to see what Allah subhanaw taala has said, if you think about it, in all of these verses, all of the stories that we learned here, who is it that mainly oppose the prophets, it was the mullah. Right? And the mullah who powerful influential people who have crowds following them. They have a great following. They are the ones who oppose the prophets. So what does it show that who believes in the prophets, how many people very few?

So few people also, if they believe in Allah, if they do righteousness, they are far better than crowds and crowds of people who are sinful and disobedient. Let's listen to the recitation one
