Taleem al Quran 2012 – P10 101B Tafsir Al-Anfal 59-66

Lesson number 101 suitable and fail I am number 59 to 75 What a seven and he should never think he should not think at all known we should definitely meaning not at all. Who should never think at all i Lavina cafardo Those people who disbelieve what should they not think that Saba coup they have escaped, they have gotten ahead? Why should they not think like that? Because in the home indeed they learn not your LG Zune, they will cause failure, who can then not cause failure to Allah subhanahu Atharva.

The machine who came to the Battle of brother 70 of them were killed, 70 of them were taken as captives and the rest of them went home safe and sound, meaning they managed to get home safely. So those who did manage to get home, they had the sense of pride that we returned safely and we were not defeated. And we are fine. So Allah subhanaw taala says that those who have escaped should never think at all that they have Subbu Subbu calls from subaqua subaqua to go ahead.

Like for example, two people are racing and one goes ahead of the other so he wins the race. So these people should never think that they have won, they have gotten ahead. Why because in the home lair zone, they have just managed to escape this one time, they cannot cause failure to Allah, Allah subhanaw taala can very easily catch them, punish them wherever they are, in the home layer or disown your disorders from the word era jazz ing ze ridges is weakness era jazz is to make someone weak, to weaken the other to defeat the other to make them incapable of doing anything. So the fact is that they cannot make Allah and His plan incapable. In other words, their multitudes their

temporary success should not deceive you all Muslims. Today. They have great numbers today, they may be happy and safe. But the fact is that when a person turns against Allah, that he can never survive for long. Today he can survive tomorrow he can survive Allah's lb R will give him time to live, but eventually he will be caught.

We see that Ebola, he didn't go to the battle himself. He hired someone and sent him but what happened to a hula hoop a week after the Battle of butter he died. So in the home layer or the Zune, they can never cause failure to Allah subhanaw taala is plan and the fact is that the religion of Allah, Islam, Allah subhanaw taala has revealed it, Allah subhanaw taala has sent it wide, so that it is established legal hero who Isla Dini currently. So the Muslims, they may suffer from weakness, they may even suffer from defeat, their enemy might be more powerful than them stronger than them. But the fact is that Islam can never ever be defeated. Allah subhanaw taala has sent this religion

in order to establish it. So what do we learn in this idea that if a person is doing something wrong, and he has that freedom, he has that chance, then he should never think that he can prosper? He should never think that he will be fine. Because Allah subhanaw taala is giving him a chance right now, but this chance will be over soon.

ultimate success is with who? The one who is in the way of Allah. ultimate success is for who for the righteous servants of Allah subhanaw taala. But does it happen sometimes, that we feel so outnumbered and so weak in whatever situation that we're in? That we feel like we're going to fail? If we obey Allah, if we follow the religion, we can't go far at all. Many times we think like this, but this IoT does is the exact opposite. Those who are disobeying the law cannot go far. Look at what happened to their own was his blessing not changed. Look at what happened to Abuja. He came so arrogantly that from today, the Muslims are not going to be able to worship Allah, we're going to

finish them. We're not going to return to Makkah until we have slaughtered our camels until we have had our feasts until we have finished the Muslims until our you know, singing women have sung to us and until we have had all this alcohol, we're not going back. He was so determined. But what happened?

What happened? He didn't even go home. He was killed in the battle.

and it is said that he wasn't fully dead when the battle was over, he was still in the Sakurako mouth, he was still in that agony, basically close to death. And one of the companions found his body. And he was still alive with Jehovah still somewhat alive. So he wanted to finish them off. So would your headset, got my neck from like really low, so that when you put my head, then make sure that my head is the tallest?

It's sticking out from the rest. So proud, so arrogant until the last moment, until the very end, he was. But was he victorious at the end? No, what happened to that *? What happened to all those practices that the machine had implemented in their society, and they were living by what happened? Everything finished, everything finished. So in the home, lay your resume. So we should never think that if we're sending, we'll be fine. And we should never ever be impressed by those people who are sending and disobeying Allah. Because we see someone he's making money through wrong ways. And he has wrong relationships or whatever. He's cheating others and he is dishonest. And we think at least

he's happy. At least she's happy. Right? And here I am in my hijab with this little bit of money that I'm making, sitting with my Quran and what do I have? Nothing. So at least this person is happy. So I should try to become like them. Nothing happens, you know, just people have scared us. If you eat her on them, this will happen. And if you do this, this will happen. Who knows if there's even Jana and hellfire shaytaan starts casting such doubts in our hearts. But Allah subhanaw taala warns us in the home near your abuser, when they can never ever cause Allah's plan to fail. Allah is just giving them time respite, and very soon that respite will be over.

What are in do and prepare le home for them? For who? For the enemy that reduce from the root letters? Alright, then the what's the root? Reindl done? What does that mean? What does that mean?

Either

to count, so, number, remember your data shoot the number of months, okay? So it means number. Now, when you're preparing something? What do you do? Do you count? When you're preparing something? Do you count? Yes. Like for example, let's say you're preparing some food.

Okay, then do you count? What do you count?

The number of people who have to eat that food? What else? Do you count? how much food you need. So for example, if you're cooking rice, then you count Okay, how many cups of rice should I cook? Right? Likewise, if you're baking something, then you are counting everything. You're measuring everything. Which is why sometimes, some people don't like to bake because they say you have to be so precise about every little ingredient. If you mess it up even a little bit. It'll be a mess. Like I remember long time ago, when I first started cooking, I was going to make cookies. Okay, and I thought, yeah, baking soda, or how much do you need to do spoons? Fine. So I took like two huge

tablespoons, and I put again,

you can imagine what those cookies must have tasted like forget about their look, imagine their taste, you can even have them. So the thing is that when you're preparing something, then you must count correct and you must count properly. So read do prepare, prepare fully, what should you prepare Lahoma against them against your enemy? What should you prepare and keep ready? Mao whatever is the bar to whom you are capable of? Whatever is within your capacity, whatever is within your SD bar, what is your thorough capacity, ability of a person meaning whatever you can muster, whatever you can produce men or women first of all, who were strength Secondly, women and from rebuttal hain.

So two things you must prepare and how much should you prepare as much as you can? How much should you make ready as much as you can? It's like somebody tells you their guests coming. So prepare food, how much as much as you can. So what does it mean? There's a whole lot of people coming, okay. So every, every bit of your strength, every ounce of your effort, whatever you can get together, put it together, prepare, do things are mentioned over here. In particular, prepare for work.

and prepared about the light, what is over power, strength. And boy is basically anything by which you gain strength, anything that aids you, anything that helps you. Like, for example, if you are, let's say working somewhere, and your work involves sitting for long hours and doing something on the computer, let's say, so what what do you need? What is it that will aid you the most in your work? A computer?

Correct? If you don't have a computer, can you do your work? No, you can't. You really can then after that, the software's after that, everything else that you need that will help you in your work, right. So this is what Cova is. And in particular, the profits are longer than Sanlam. He said that Ella intall Quwata Aremu that is a Ramin What does Rami mean to shoot? So in terms of warfare, because this is talking about war, since the context is of war, and remember, the brother was the first battle and the enemy was defeated and went home very disappointed and angry, and it was only expected that they will return. Okay, so you have an enemy, this was the first of many battles, the

enemy will return. So you be ready you Prepare from now, what should you prepare Goolwa what is Goolwa shooting, whether it is through arrows or whatever, it depends on the time on the arrow, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said land shall be thrown open to you and Allah will suffice you against your enemy. But none of you should give up playing with his arrows. Meaning, make sure you learn archery. Make sure you learn the skill of shooting as the right target because it's a very important skill. And this is why remodel bluedot are new and he said teach your children three things, swimming, archery and horseback riding.

So he insisted that children learn these things. So anyway, Allah subhanaw taala revealed to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to tell the Muslims that they should prepare for future battles. And the first thing they should have ready is Goolwa. Secondly, rebels will hide the battle hide from their letters La Bella, do you remember the word about is below a saw beautiful, raw, beautiful at the end of surah Allah Antoine? What does rupt mean? To tie it together? Right? And from this, the word also means to guard guard what? The borders. Okay, so rebel coil Heyn Heyn, or horses ribbleton Clane are the steeds of war, the horses that are trained for war, and they are tied up? What is it about

they're tied up meaning they're ready. They're ready. They're ready for what? To go out anytime that they have to be taken. Because remember that where people need training? Horses also need training. Okay? Like for example, there's a football player, then what are they doing months and months from before? Body Training? Right? They're physically training themselves for that endurance. And what happens before or during the game? Also, what are they doing? Training, practicing? Many times, if you're watching the game on the television, you will see one of the players is going crazy with the wall throwing, throwing, or with the bat shooting, why they're practicing? Correct. So develop and

play is to keep the horses tired, meaning they are fully ready. So that anytime during the day or the night they can be taken out. Okay, so two things are mentioned over here. Go Wah, and your means of transport.

Go wha and your means of transport. Keep it ready. What are a doula whom? Mr. Hartman Quwata. A woman ridata Heil? Why should you keep all of this ready? Shouldn't you just prepare when the time for battle comes? Like a day or two before the battle then prepare them? Why should you be prepared for now?

Aren't you wasting your time by starting preparation so early? What's the purpose?

Because physical training, okay, you cannot get in just one day. All right. If your body is all tight, can you just go on a marathon the next day? You can't. You gradually build your endurance. You go for half a mile run, then you go for one mile run, then you increase it gradually over a period of several months and then you can go for a marathon? Correct? Because whatever skills we have, what are their mental or physical what happens they begin to rest? Correct. So they need time to build. So this is why first of all, Prepare from now because you never know when

The enemy will come. I mean, the Battle of blood. It was not planned, was it? It wasn't planned at all. So you never know, the next battle might come up very soon. And what if you're not prepared? So Prepare from now. And this gives us a very important lesson in life, that if you see something is coming up in the future, then don't wait until the last moment prepare from when? From now. So for example, when you get your lesson, okay? Don't say, yeah, when the test comes in, I will sit and study, because then what will happen? You can't possibly memorize the meaning of half of Jews in one night? Can you? It's not humanly possible. And if you do that, then I'm sorry, your test is not

gonna go that well. So if you want to be prepared for your test, what should you do? Do your lesson as soon as you get it? Correct. Which is why if you do it like that, then when the test will come, all you need to do is just review.

Correct, and you're more calm, you're more prepared for your test, you can focus on the things that you're weak at. And by this, you're actually improving. Otherwise, what happens when we just prepare for the test, we prepare, we memorize something just until the test has to be taken. Soon after the test what happens we forget everything,

that it doesn't benefit us this kind of knowledge doesn't benefit us at all. So this is one benefit of preparing from before. Secondly, you never know you might not have time to prepare. Right? Like for example, you think you can study the night before the test. But what happens you find out the day off that there was a wedding you have to go to and your mom forgot to tell you can you avoid it? No way you're not allowed you have to go. So then what are you going to do? Skip the test. Right? And you're going to skip it. And then it's going to be deferred and deferred until you give up.

So that they do prepare from before always be ready for what is coming. And the benefit of this Allah subhanaw taala says is that to the Buena you frighten from Raha Rob is fear you will cast fear and terror, behave by it. By what by all this preparation? Who will you frighten? I do Allah, the enemy of Allah who are doing work on your enemy?

Notice Allah's enemy and your enemy because it's the same. If someone opposes the willy of Allah, who are they opposing Allah subhanaw taala. So you will frighten the enemy, basically, the enemy will be afraid of you. Because if the enemy finds out that you have everything prepared for battle, then they're going to be nervous. Instead of thinking about what to do in order to progress, they're worried about the fact that you might attack them, so they can't go forward. You understand? Because if you have this fear, somebody is going to hurt me. Can you focus on your work? Can you focus on developing yourself you got all your focus is on what defending yourself so you are going to

frighten your enemy like this. And as a result, you will be victorious. And also, you will frighten who else will Medina and others which others Minh Dooney him besides them, meaning or some other enemy also, besides the people of Makkah, latter Allah Munna home, you don't know them, Allah who you are alone with whom Allah knows them. Because this enemy has not yet appeared to you? Who is this enemy referring to them when after pain? That's true. Who else even the hood because remember, this is Battle of others, second year after Hijra. Soon many things are going to happen in later years. So with all of this preparation, what are you doing? You're warning everybody. Those who have

declared their enmity against you and those who haven't yet appeared as enemies to you. You're warning everybody that we are prepared. So be careful. Allahu Akbar, Allah Muhammad, Allah knows them, meaning your enemy. And remember that the Companions, they have to prepare for battle with which money which resources that were falling on them from the sky that the angels were bringing to them, which money from their own pockets from their own pockets and think about it. People who had recently migrated with growing businesses, okay. Young families, these people are spending on what on war money that they might never see again, it was not a business it was not an investment. So

Allah subhanaw taala encourages the believers, that woman to feel cool mentioned

In whatever you spend on anything feasibly the law in the way of Allah, you will finally come, it will be returned to you in full, one to learn to live on and you will not be wronged at all. Meaning you will not be treated with injustice, you spend anything in the way of Allah, Allah who will give it back to you, Allah will give you much more in return. So this is a promise of Allah subhanaw taala. Because many times it happens that in order to prepare ourselves for the future, we are learning something, acquiring the skill, studying something, and we're spending money on that. And a person might feel like I'm wasting my money, I don't even have enough. But at that time, don't fear.

Don't have this fear. Because remember, whatever you're spending now is what an investment. Because think about any person who's studying, let's say a person who's studying medicine, by the time they graduate, what do they have on their heads? A big loan? Or if they don't have it, then what do they have? Their parents bank accounts are at zero,

literally, because they want to keep away from home. So what do they do the spender out of their own pockets? They haven't bought any furniture in many years. Every single penny is going on what? on helping their son their daughter become a doctor. And then what happens when she becomes a doctor? That inshallah is Coco. Correct? So why is it that people willingly spend because they know it's an investment they know it's going to come back to them? So um, I don't feel cool. mentioning anything that you spend FISA beat Allah in the way of Allah, it will be given back to you and you will not be treated with injustice. What in Jana who, and if they incline general, from Jenna to incline, if

they incline LIS Selmy to the peace, meaning the enemy is inclined to making peace with you, the Mushrikeen of Makkah, they say, We don't want to fight anymore. We don't want to have any more battles. Let's make a peace treaty, that we're not going to have war for these many years. So if they come up with such an offer, what should you do? Say no, no, no, we have all these preparations. And now we are going to fight you. Should you do that? No, Allah says fudging Allah, then inclined towards it, meaning that accept it, go for it and make the peace treaty. And if you're afraid that they're just making the peace treaty with you, so that you stop from warfare and they attack you.

Then what should you do? What What kind of Allah trust on Allah? In the who, who has some evil early indeed, is to hearing the knowing? What do we learn over here?

These is that you have a threat. You just had a battle, and the enemy returned, unhappy, the enemy is going to come back again for sure. So don't be very innocent. What should you do? Prepare, be ready. What should you prepare whatever that you can, however, realize that if the enemy if the enemy wants to make peace with you, then battle is not a must. War is not a must. If they want peace, then make peace and refrain from warfare. So in other words, war is what one of the means of obtaining peace.

You understand? This isn't our religion, because in the Quran, what do we learn, fight until there is no fitna? What is fitna persecution, right. So fight until there is no persecution, meaning you should fight until the power of the enemy is broken. They cannot persecute anymore, and there can be peace.

That's the ultimate goal, peace, security. But if you can obtain that peace and security, without war, through a treaty, then make a treaty clear. Is it clear to you because some people they say that Islam is very barbaric, and Islam is very pro war. Because there are chapters of the Quran that are dedicated to this. The Soto and FAL is actually one of those chapters. But if you study the Surah, what do we learn that war is not a must, it is reserved for when, for the times when war is necessary. I mean, obviously, if the enemy is coming against you, you need to pick up your weapons and go defend yourself and you need to be ready from before.

But remember that the ultimate goal is what to have peace. And that's what we see. What the Prophet saw was that when he migrated to Medina, what did he do? He made a peace treaty. Correct. And then the Mushrikeen of Makkah, many battles with them. Until so

A lot of who they be correct. What happened to her they be one of the clauses was that there will be no battle between the Muslims of Medina Mushrikeen of Makkah and their allies for how many years? For 10 years, no battles at all.

And the Prophet sallallahu Sallam accepted that he made that treaty. Even though many clauses of the treaty were actually against the Muslims where they were not in favor of them.

Like for example, if a person goes from Medina to Makkah, then the people of Makkah have to welcome him and they should not send him back. But if a person goes from Mecca to Medina, and the people on Medina have to send him back to Makkah, okay. Now, this was something very difficult, but because the treaty brought peace, no war, the prophets of onsen accepted it. And remember one of those companions who came in chains and he said, please help me I'm being tortured. I'm being abused for my Islam and the prophets, Allah listen because the treaty was made, or because there was greater benefit in that he had to send that companion home Inshallah, we will learn about that in more

detail later. But we see that the main purpose, the main objective is to have peace. So if you can attain that through a treaty, go ahead. And if the enemy is not listening, they don't want to talk even they're just raising their weapons against you. Then you have to do the same thing. Also, you have to defend yourself also. So what in Jana, hula, salami, Virginia, Hula, hula, whatever canal Allah in the who, who are Samira or Liam Indeed, He is the hearing the knowing what anybody do, and if they intend meaning, the enemy intense and yet the Ruka that they deceive you how? By making the treaty. And then because you're at peace, you're not preparing for war, they come secretly and

attack you. Then, in the husband, Allah, then remember that indeed, sufficient for you is who? Allah Subhana Allah is sufficient to help you to keep you safe. Because who he is a lady, the one who a ye Dhaka who helped you. He is the one who helped you, Vanessa Lee with his health webull Momineen. And through the help of the believers, Allah subhanaw taala strengthened you, he aided you with the special help that he sent your way? And what is that referring to the angels? And he also helped you through who, through the believers.

So if Allah subhanaw taala has helped you until today, you think Allah will abandon you in the future? No, he won't. Keep your trust in Allah, and Allah will keep you safe. So what do we learn over here

that make peace and be hopeful that inshallah things will work in your favor. And if the enemy is going to prove treacherous, then don't worry, Allah Who will protect you, because Allah has protected until now, by his special help, and also by surrounding you with who many?

Which believers were these are companions of the Prophet salallahu. Salam, who, even though they were very few in number, very few in number, but what were they like? What were the characteristics of the companions? Okay, they were believers. How were they different from other people? Yes. They were very firm and steadfast. How else were they different? Yes. They were very loyal. They were very, very loyal to the prophets of Allah. So much that Abu Bakar plateau or he wanted to go with the Prophet salallahu Salam on the journey of Hijra. And when the prophets of Allah said and told him that, let's go, he wept, he cried out of what? Happiness, that I am going to go with the

prophets on the walls, and I'm on this journey. He wept out of happiness. Any other person would be crying. Any other friend would be like, I'm sorry. I love you. I support you for what you're doing. But I don't think I can help you in this. Don't we have friends? We have friends, right? They help us in many situations. But there are also many times when they say, I'm sorry, can't help you here can't do anything for you here. But we see that the few people who were around the prophets of Allah was so dedicated, were they so loyal? Were they so honest, were they so loving, that a few of them were enough, which is why we see that one of them was too keen. He was sent as a spy, to check what

the prophets of Allah sent them, how he wasn't how his companions were, what they were doing. And when this man went back to the machine, he said, You should give up with any hope of journeying the people of Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam against him, because I have been to the courts of the Roman king and the Persian king, but I have never seen such loyal

Have tea in the supporters of a leader, as I have seen in the supporters of Muhammad Sallallahu. He hardly says anything to them that they run to obey Him. He gives them an instruction and they immediately respond. They're so loyal. They respect him in the way they address him in the way they speak to him. They respected him so much. So Allah subhanaw taala says that you have these believers with you, this is great praise for the companions of the Prophet sallallahu setelah. And when you have these few people with you, then you don't need to fear, then you don't need to have any fear that your enemy is going to harm you, your enemy is going to deceive you. Because remember that if

you have a few sincere friends, they're much better than a crowd of insincere people, isn't it? So you could have just one friend that you sometimes talk to you sometimes hang out with, but because of their sincerity because of their love, you're much happy like that, instead of having 50 friends who are talking against you, and doing backbiting and making fun of you and hurting your feelings? What's the point? We go for numbers, right? Which is why we want to make sure that we have the most number of friends. But the fact is, that what is little And sufficient is better than what is more and distracting. The angels, Allah subhanaw taala sends to angels every day to make this

announcement that all people rush towards your Lord, rush towards your Lord, meaning obey Him, go towards him, don't go away from him. And they say, for innama Allah wa Kapha hyaluron mimma kathua. What else? What is level and sufficient is better than what is more and distracting. If you have a few people around you, and they're enough, that is much better than having a whole lot of people around you that will distract you for your whole life. So you can't focus on anything. Because every few minutes, you're getting text messages. Every few minutes, you're distracted. Every day you have to respond to a party or something. And then you have to invite people over and then you're just

stuck in the cycle. You're not happy your heart is not in it. So what's better having 50 friends like that, or having one friend who if they send you a text message, it's at least something good, what's better, what is little and sufficient that is much better. So Allah subhanaw taala comforts his messenger that don't fear he helped you before with his special victory and also through the believers. What Allah for bein Kuru be him and he brought together their hearts and love for you a liquid that lead from Zillow amfa OLFA is basically love and leave is to create love. When love happens between people then what happens, their hearts are joined together. They are united. So

Allah for you to live with at least literally means to be united to be joined to be combined. So with love, there's also unity, love ties people together, and hatred, rips people apart. Isn't that so? When there is love people will come together. And when there is bias and hidden hatred and grudge than what will happen even though people are apparently together their distances apart. Correct. Even though two people are living in the same house, with the bond of marriage between them. They're not on the same page. They're in two different worlds completely. Why? Because there's no love. So I love a bein equilibrium, Allah says he joined together their hearts with love whose

hearts the hearts of the companions. And because they love each other, the unsolved the mahadji. They love one another. This is why there's so much unity, so much loyalty, that this is enough for you. Previously, before Islam. What was the case of the Arabs, that they loved someone just because they were family and they hated someone just because they were from a different tribe. This is what was the reason behind love and hate. And because of this reason, we see that they were constantly fighting against one another. You had no problem with another individual. But just because they are from a particular race for a particular tribe from particular background. You have a bias against

them. This has happened today also. Oh yeah. All the time. That you find out that oh, there is one person, there could be a potential spouse. And what happens people find out that oh, they're from this country. Oh, they're from this racial background. No way. Not at all. Immediately a big no. A big deal without even checking without even speaking to the person. Right. And even otherwise, a person looks like you

meaning same skin color, similar skin color. And then you find out they're from a different tribe. And then instantly we started reading into things and we started misunderstanding them. There's instantly a bias that we have against them.

So Allah subhanaw taala says what a lever Boehner put over him. Allah is the One who joined their hearts together. And this was nothing less than a miracle that had happened in seventh century Arabia. So if you think about it, the machine on the other hand,

there were still fighting against one another. They still had divisions in Medina, who was there? The misogyny and the unsolved immigrants who were welcomed by the locals of that city.

And what kind of love did they have of brotherhood? The prophets of Allah Sam established the bond of brotherhood between certain companions, the Mahajan, Andean salt, and this level of friendship, and love is not found anywhere else.

If you think about any country, where they're immigrants, how do the locals receive them?

How do they welcome them? I mean, almost all of us are immigrants here. We know exactly how sometimes we are treated. Right? And not all the people are like that. But some people are like that, right? Just have a bias against you for no reason, and 100 and the country that we're living, we're very happy. We're very fortunate. But in many other places, we see racial tensions

because the locals are not willing to embrace the immigrants. But we see in Medina what happened, the more hygiene that came, they were loved by the unsought. So Allah subhanaw taala is praising that what Allah for bein aqua, Ruby, him, lo un* that if you spent or profits or about Italian, Mafia, or B, whatever that is, in the earth, Jimmy are on altogether. If you spent everything that is on the earth, on who, on these people, to win their love to get them to love each other?

Would you be able to do that? Would you be successful? No, Allah says my leftover, you know, could be him, you could never have got their hearts together, you could never have united their hearts. Because the thing is that you cannot get the love of others through money.

You cannot win people's hearts by money.

How do you win people's hearts?

How?

By showing respect to them, by accepting them the way they are? By being charitable towards them. Right? Like, for example, if somebody buys you a big gift,

and instantly you're very grateful. And you think that they're your friend.

And then what happens that big gift accidentally you drop it in front of them by accident. If they say are you okay? Everything fine, then you know that they actually love you. And if they say what on earth are you doing? The start yelling at you. Then what do you do? Please take it back. I don't want it.

I don't want it.

You can keep your things. I don't want your stuff. Correct. Isn't that so? So how do you win people's hearts by spending money on No, no. You win people's hearts by showing love to them. And how do you show love? Through your words? Your actions, your forgiveness, your tolerance for their stupidities, right. This is how you show love. And if you start picking on their mistakes, and you cannot let go, then you don't love them. And even if you say you love them, they're not going to believe you.

So the prophets have a lot of them installed over here. Low un*. The mesophyll of the Jamia man left the vine equilibrium if you had spent all the money of the world you could never have joined together their hearts when I can Allah Allah Sabina Han, Allah has joined their hearts together. Allah has brought this unity in them in the who are Aziz and Hakeem indeed He is mighty and wise. So what do we see?

Unity is a blessing of Allah subhanaw taala you cannot make it yourself. It's a gift that Allah subhanaw taala gives to people,

which is why we learn in Hadith, that when Allah wishes good for us

People, then he places gentleness in them, gentleness in them. So when they're gentle with one another, then they can forgive each other, they can appreciate one another. And this is what will create love and unity in them. And when something evil isn't intended for people that what is made common amongst them harshness and when there is harshness, there will be hatred, there will be no friendship, correct and that family that group will fall apart, it cannot stay together. So Unity is a blessing of Allah subhanaw taala and it is given to who those whom Allah subhanaw taala intends good for, and who does he wish good for those who are obedient. In the Quran we learn in Alladhina

amanu wireman or Solly had surgery I do Lahoma rushman would suit Marian and 96 that those people who believe in do good Allah who will place Allah who will create love for them. Were in the hearts of others in the hearts of those who are around them. So they will love them. They will win the hearts of others. Low and *a Murphy will have the Jamia on my left who could will be him what I can Allah Allah Sabina hung in the horror season hurricane indeed II is mighty and wise.

Many times we see that parents they'll spend on their children

buy them anything they want. Why? So that their children can respect them. Their children will love them, their children will be loyal to them. But what happens to children go the exact opposite way. Exact opposite when they start demanding even more from their parents, they become even more rude depressurize their parents even more.

So what's missing here? Allah subhanaw taala is not showing mercy to that family. If we want Allah's mercy, then we need to be obedient servants of Allah.

Because when we will show obedience to Him, then He will create love for us in the hearts of others. Yeah, are you gonna be you Oh Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Hasbrook Allah sufficient for you is Allah, Allah is enough for you. And Allah is also enough for you for who woman and whoever it Lavaca follows you middle movement in from among the believers, Allah is sufficient to help you to aid you. And also those who follow you from the believers, Allah is enough to help them

meaning those who follow your way, whether they come 10 years after you or 1000 years after you, Allah subhanaw taala will also help them the way he has helped you have spoken Allah woman a tag our communal movement in

also we learn that this ayah means that oh Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ALLAH is sufficient for you. And who else is sufficient to help you? Those who follow you from the believers? Meaning, apparently they're few. And they're weak and poor people with very little resources. But because they are believers, and they follow you, they're loyal to you. They are sufficient for you. They are enough for you. You don't need a crowd around you. You don't need 1000s of people to surround you. What you need is loyal friends. Yeah, you have to be you. All Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has lived insight, urge instigate, encourage, encourage you and me Nina do believe believers

encourage them to do what I tell Peter to go for battle. Encourage the believers to go for battle. Why? Because battle is difficult. And the thing is that it's not ideal. But the situation is such that you are going to be facing many battles in the future brother was the first of many. So encourage the believers so that they can do this, despite its difficulty. What does this word Khaled mean? How does this from the root letters how well but however you have to do to heal is to encourage someone to do something, but how emphatically encourage them. Continuously encourage them strongly encourage them, and help others basically to encourage someone to do something so that he

will not be handed,

who is how to how to is someone who is close to destruction. So it is to encourage someone to do something before there are destroyed. So in other words, do something for their own good. made them realize that they have to do it. If they don't do it. They're going to be destroyed, they're going to be ruined. So encourage them, because there are many things that we don't want to do in life. But the fact is that they're necessary, right? They're necessary because if we don't do them, we're going to fail miserably in life. Like for example, when you're in school, what do your parents taught you to study? Please study because it's very

Ain't important, you don't realize how necessary this is. You'll appreciate later. So the parents, they keep encouraging the children because they know if the children don't study, where are they going to end up in life? What are they going to do? How are they going to have a family? How are they going to live an easy life, it's going to be very difficult for them. So if the son says, That's it, I don't want to study anymore. I don't want to complete my high school. The mother says, okay, my dear son, I respect your choice. Yeah. If you say in your third year university, Mom, I quit. I'm not going to complete my degree. What will she do? Okay, my dear. It's fine. Just don't

cry. Yeah, what is she going to do? She's going to encourage you, she's going to keep encouraging you. Because she knows if you don't do it, you're going to be ruined. You're wasting your money, you're wasting your time, you're wasting your talent, you're wasting your future. So likewise, realize how necessary detail is for the believers at this time. And please encourage them to do it. And make them understand that in if your con it is men confirm you are Sharona 20 Don't hesitate because of your few numbers. Because realize that if there are 20 among you, who are slobbered on who are ones were patient, meaning who have the courage, who are determined, who will remain firm

who won't give up who have suburb to continue, then these 20 men among you are capable to do what young liberal they overcome, how many meet attain, and what is may attain. 220 of you believers who are solid on are actually capable of overcoming 200 from your enemy. What's the ratio over here? One to 10 this is what Allah subhanaw taala is saying to the believers that you have this potential

you can reach this far, you can be the successful but what's the condition sabe rune you have to have sub one in and if your con he is men come from you may attend 100, then your only boo they can overpower elfin 1000 Mina Latina capital from those people who disbelieve why the unknown Kamala Khan, because there are people who don't understand meaning your enemy doesn't use reason. They just come for the whole lot of crowd, and they're just like to show up their money and their numbers. They don't use any strategy. They don't have reason, so you can easily overcome them. So what do we see? What's the key to success?

Patients? You know, when we learn about very successful people in life, people who have reached like, great heights in their careers, or they've gone really far, basically, we think that there's some extraordinary people who are very intelligent. They're not normal.

They have different brains. They're just a different species, maybe. But the fact is that what are they normal human beings? They're not necessarily extraordinarily intelligent. What makes them different from the rest of the people, is just a few things. And what is that one of the top is Subash, they have the subject to wake up early. I'm not talking about Muslims only. I'm talking about generally, people who are successful, they wake up early, they don't wake up at 730 in the morning, they wake up at five o'clock, they wake up at six o'clock. And what do they do, they work on self improvement. They work on themselves at that time, whether it is exercise, or it is

meditation, or it is reading, or it is anything that they do their own personal stuff. And then at eight o'clock, they go to work, and they work on work.

But if you think about it, in our day, we're only working on work, we don't have any time to work on ourselves. So when you become an extremely famous author, he is like one of the world's top Stephen King. He had this quote that talent is his cheapest table salt, it's those that work hard that make it to the top.

Talent is as cheap as table salt. Meaning it's, it's not that difficult to be successful. It's just that you need solver. You need patience, you need determination to go far to be successful. Just yesterday, I was reading a blog Zen Habits and I encourage you to read it as well. And it's amazing. Go on the About section about the person, the author of that blog, and just read about him. You'll be amazed. You'll be amazed at who he is what he's done his accomplishments. You

We think successful people are like, Oh, they've got three PhDs and their professors and they've done this and they've accomplished that. It's not necessary. It's not necessary. If you have the determination, you can go very far. What is needed is sub.

If you think about it, a well trained, patient and calm teacher can control 25 children from eight o'clock to three o'clock. And an impatient mother cannot handle one toddler for one hour. Isn't that so? What's the difference? Patients? What's the difference? Determination? What's the difference? One has accepted her role. These children are under my care, I'm supposed to teach them. She's efficient. She has a strategy the whole day is planned. And as a result, what happens the children also pick up very quickly.

But that mother is pulling her hair out at home because she doesn't know what to do with the children. Because she hasn't accepted her role that she is a teacher of her children, she has to make use of her life and her children's like her concern is put food in their mouth, so that they can sleep for two hours I can watch my favorite show.

This is what her concern is. So she is miserable. Her children are miserable.

So what is needed is something that is what makes a person successful. Even our boss a little low on who said when this idea was revealed it was difficult for the Muslims for they thought it was burdensome since 20, should by 200 and 100 against 1000. So Allah subhanaw taala made this really easy for them and abrogated this idea with the following. And what is that an n of Allah who aren't gone. So now Allah subhanaw taala has lightened it for you, meaning he has lightened this hardship for you made it easier for you. What this challenge this expectation that you are expected to overcome 10 people Allah subhanaw taala has reduced that burden from you. Why are you mad and he

knows that unethical Darfur that indeed, among you is weakness, meaning, there's still some kind of weakness in you, everyone cannot be like the Sahaba

All right, everyone cannot have a high level of faith a high level of patience and determination. In a group of people as the numbers grow, there are those who are determined and those who lead that determination. Those who are patient and those who lack that patience. So Allah knows there is weakness in you. But for in so if your con he is meant confirm you may attend 100, Sameera patient meaning a group of 100 that is patient Yoli boo they will overcome me attain 200 So now what's the ratio? One to two? What in and if your con he is men come from you elfin 1000 Young people they should overcome I'll find 2000 How be in Allah with the permission of Allah. Allahu wa slobbering

and Allah is with those who are patient.

Allah is with those who are patient, when a person tries to be patient and Allah subhanaw taala helps him and Allah gives him victory. But in these ayat basically what do we see? What do we learn what Allah subhanaw taala expects from a believer?

What is expected from a believer that he should be

double than an average person in his accomplishments, in his patience in his determination?

A strong believer is more beloved to Allah subhanaw taala than a weak believer.

So what is necessary that we strive to get better and stronger every day of our lives?

Think about it, if there are people who are working for this world, getting up at five o'clock, working long hours, just to make their worldly home now, don't you think more effort is required from us so that we can have a worldly home here and also a home engine?

Think about it. We're aiming for more.

So our efforts should be more our striving should be more our resilience, strength, the effort that we put in should be much more because we want to accomplish more. And we have to there's no other way.
