Taleem al Quran 2012 – P11 111B Tafsir Al-Tawbah 117-118

Lesson number 111 Surah Totoaba is number 117 to 129

Laqad certainly DAB Allahu Allah has turned in mercy. ARLEN Nabhi upon the Prophet, one more hygiene and the immigrants while on Sol and the helpers and Lavina those who it terbaru who they followed him, followed who the prophets Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam, at what time fee in sir Atilla or surah the difficult hour, the hour of difficulty. And what is that hour of difficulty that time of immense, immense difficulty, the expedition to the book

with this is the surah reaches its conclusion so from these ayat we will see a conclusion to all the messages that we learned in the surah

In this ayah What does Allah subhanaw taala say? That Allah has dabba towards who the prophets of Allah is Allah and the believers who are the mohideen and the unsolvable followed him at the time of the book. taba as I mentioned to you earlier literally means a voudouri to return.

Now when a servant he dabba, he returns he returns to who Allah subhanaw taala returns when when he went away from him, he went away from Allah, he committed a sin and then dabba he goes back to Allah, seeking His forgiveness with guilt in his heart, feeling bad about what he did, going back to Allah, begging him for pardon for forgiveness, hoping for Allah's mercy with the resolve of never going back to that sin again. This is what Toba is. This is what the word Toba means, when it's used for a person for a human being. But over here daba is being used for who? Allah subhanaw taala tab Allah Who. So when the word tab is used for Allah, what does it mean? That Allah turns in mercy

towards his servants? How that when the servant has gone far from him, committing a sin, Allah subhanaw taala gives him the ability to realize his mistake. So what happens? That person repents to Allah? And when Allah gives him the ability to repent, then Allah accepts his repentance. He elevates his ranks. So a lot of Allahu Allah Nabhi what does it mean? Allah has already forgiven the Prophet sallallahu already sunnah. And it's also used for when Allah elevates the ranks of a servant to the Prophet salallahu Salam, he didn't really commit any sin at this occasion. But yes, there were, you know, some things that weren't as Allah subhanaw taala wanted him to do like for example,

we learned are for Allah who are uncut Lima and Intelecom the Prophet sallallahu Sallam allowed some hypocrites to remain behind. So Allah revealed May Allah pardon you, why did you allow them?

So you as a human being mistakes like this happened at every level. So this ayah says, Allah has completely forgiven the prophets of Allah or do salah, his dead now is far better than it was before the expedition to the book.

The book was a very, very difficult experience. It was an experience in which people there were emotionally shaken up physically, they were affected, in every way. They were affected, because it was a very long journey, difficult journey. Satilla Rossella. Allah describes it. Ursula is extreme difficulty, hour of difficulty. Why was it so difficult this expedition because a The journey was very long, B It was extremely hot,

extremely hot. Thirdly, because they had very few resources, there was a lack of resources, multiple people were sharing a camel, multiple people do three would write it at a time. And then after some time, they would have to step down and walk while others would write.

And then there came a time when people had to slaughter those precious camels, just to get some liquid by squeezing their intestines. That liquid that they would put in their mouth so that they could breathe

or muddled it all on who he was asked about Sir Arthur or Sarah

And he said, we went with the messenger of allah sallallahu wasallam in the intense heat for the book. We can't at a place in which we were stricken so hard by thirst that we thought our necks would be severed. Has it ever happened that your mouth is so dry, your neck is so dry, you're not able to talk. It's like you feel as if it's cracking up. Perhaps we haven't experienced that. But an extreme thirst person feels like that mouth is dry, throat is dry all the way down. And as you breathe, you know it hurts. He said we thought our necks would be severed, we thought we would die. One of us used to go out in search of water and did not return until he feared that his neck would

be severed. People will slaughter their camels squeeze their intestines and drink their content, placing whatever was left on his stomach to cool himself.

The wet innards of a camel imagine they would put them on their bellies just to get some comfort, some coolness. So what happened then? A bucket of low or no he came to the Prophet sallallahu cinema said well, Allah's messenger. Allah has always accepted your invocation. Please make dua for us. The prophets of Allah Salam said to him with Alec you like that you want me to make dua Abu Bakr said, Please do the prophets of Allah have sinned and raised his hand and did not put them down until rain fell from the sky in abundance, it rained, and then it stopped raining for a while and then rained again. So the people that filled up their containers. And then when they were done using the water,

they went out to see how far the rain fell. And they saw there was nowhere else except where they had camped.

Look like tiled Allah who, because the believers went through so much difficulty, so much difficulty for the sake of Allah. They weren't being paid millions of dollars for this expedition. They weren't being sponsored. They were using the money from their pockets, their orchards were waiting to be harvested. They had put that at risk. Their families were back in Medina and they left for the cause of Allah. And when they went out in Allah's way, bearing this kind of hardship for his sake alone, Allah says He forgive them.

Allah has pardoned, he has forgiven His Prophet, he has forgiven them Oh, hygiene and the unsolved who followed the Prophet sallallahu wasallam FISA Tiller surah in the hour of most most difficulty, it was such a time when mimbar Dima after that, Canada it was about two years zero, it would incline global hearts for you coming home a group from them He is He who is from Xavier, and what does it mean, to deviate this word? So your zeal Kulu. For you coming home, a group of the believers were almost inclined to what remaining behind because they knew that the journey to the book was not going to be easy. So there was a group of believers who were initially hesitant. They had almost

thought of not going along with the Prophet sallallahu wasallam but what happened? So metabo I lay him but Allah turned in mercy to them, Allah give them the ability to be determined and go along with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam in now who beat him or over Rahim Indeed, He is with them for over compassionate, kind, Raheem merciful, you might wonder, but the believers have to go through so much difficulty. We don't think that's compassion. But you know what? That is compassion.

Because for every step that we're taking on the journey to the book, Allah was forgiving their since Allah was elevating their ranks. It was a difficulty that yes, it was very, very hard upon them. But you know what? It was still doable. Because Allah does not impose upon a servant more than he can bear. Isn't that so? There are times in our lives when what we have to do is extremely difficult. But you know what we survive. We don't collapse. We Don't Die, we make it. So remember, every difficulty, every difficulty, it is possible that you might think you're not going to make through it.

You're going to lose it before you reach the end. You might think like that, but remember, Allah is off he is Rahim. He is kind, so he will never overburden you.

He is kind so he will reward you for every moment of suffering that you bear in submission to Him, because He is proof and Rahim what I left Salah 30

and also upon the three, meaning Allah has also forgiven the three, which three people AlLadhina honley. For those who were holy fool, holy foo from Harlem,

holy fool, they were left behind. They were left behind, meaning their case was deferred. They were not granted forgiveness immediately. Their pardon was deferred. When the Prophet saw a lot of sense of return from the book, we see that when the Muslims returned from the book, those who had gone on this expedition, Allah subhanaw, Taala forgave all of them. Right? Obviously, there were someone africaine, who didn't go with sincerity, who didn't return with sincerity. There were obviously far from forgiveness. But those who went with sincerity returned in that state in a better state, they're all pardoned. Then we see that there were some sincere believers who did not go along with

the prophets of Allah Salam, what did they do? They tied themselves up in the masjid. They said, We're not nobody's releasing us until we are forgiven. Were there forgiven? Yes, very soon. They were forgiven.

There were three companions. Who didn't do that. However, they came to the Prophet salallahu Salam admitted their fault that we should have gone out with you. There was no excuse preventing us and we are guilty. And we want Allah to forgive us. So what happened? The Prophet said, a lot of them told him, okay, get up and wait until Allah forgives you.

So basically, the prophets of Allah, some didn't say, Fine, you're forgiven. He said, Yes, we'll wait for Allah's order.

These were three people.

Who were they carbon Malik, Hillel, Ben Ommaya, and Muralla. Even Robbie or Allah says over here, that he has also forgiven them. What is their story? Their story is mentioned in many books of Hadith in Bukhari, and Muslim in Muslim dharma. But the version and Musa Mohammed is you can say it has the most detail in it. And this is the reason why I've chosen that share with you.

Mama has recorded that carbon Malik radula horn who one of the three Sahaba one of the earth Aletheia and living a holy fool. He was a companion of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam who was present at Aqaba pledge. When was a Lacava pledge made? When

do you know before the hijra, the people of Medina they came to Makkah inviting the Prophet sallallahu sallam, please come and join us in Medina, you will be safe here. So the Prophet saw a lot of Saddam he made a covenant with them and that is known as the Aqaba pledge. So you're talking about someone who embraced Islam, not after the Prophet SAW also migrated to Medina. But before that, our cover and the people who were present at a Lacava they were also promised Jana

carob Radi Allahu Anhu was one of them.

He had participated in every battle with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam except for brothers. But the battle of brother you know how many Muslims were there? How many was only 300. Everyone was not supposed to go anyway. And the people who did not participate, they were not reprimanded for it either.

Carbon medical Dulo Arne who I want you to understand who he is. Our Koba promised Jana, every single battle.

But the expedition to the book what happened? He didn't go. Why?

Because he said he had every means available. He said that this was the one time in his life when he had two camels. Before that he had never had two camels at the same time. He had every means available. But what happened when the Prophet said a lot it's and made it clear, everybody's going to the book, every single person has to go carbon Malik said, Of course I'll go. And the people started, you know, getting ready for the expedition Garban. Maliki said everyday I would go out in order to prepare for the expedition. But I would go out and come back home without getting anything done. And he would say,

I can do that if I want. It's like you know, you're less than a little bit. And you're like, yeah, the test is coming. I know. I'll just read through the juice quickly once before the test, and I'm good. But what happens in the morning you say? Yeah, I'll do it. Next thing you know, it's afternoon you say? Yeah, I'll do it. Next thing you know, it is nighttime. You say? Yeah, I'll do it. Next thing you know, you're driving to alpha.

Right. So sometimes it happens that you're so confident about the fact that you can do something that you keep delaying it, delaying it, delaying it until it's too late. So what happened the day came when the Muslim army was ready, and the left Medina karbonn Malik said I hadn't done anything and at

that time also he said, I said to myself, I can join them. I leave tomorrow, I leave the after.

And what happened it was too late to catch up with the Muslims. Garban Malik was there for left in Medina. And he said, it grieved me that every time I came out to the streets, to the masjid, I saw two kinds of people, one those who are accused of hypocrisy, and to those who are weak meaning who had some genuine reason for not being able to participate in the battle. So karbonn Malik, he stayed like that in Medina, with this guilt. And when he heard that the Prophet salallahu Salam was almost back in Medina, he started thinking of different ways in which he could excuse himself. And he said, but when the Prophet saw a lot of Salam came, all those excuses and all those lies, they left me the

prophets of a lot of sins, usual habit was that when he would come back from a journey, he will go straight to the masjid and offer to knuffel Salah over there. And then he would meet people, and then he would go home. So the prophets of Allah Islam did that he was in the masjid after his salah, and people started coming in. Almost 80 People came offering lies, false excuses to the prophets of Allah, listen for staying behind. And what did the Prophet salallahu Salam do? Whatever he was like, okay, he didn't congratulate them. He didn't show their his absolute approval. Like he was told, turn away from them. And that's exactly what he did. So carbon Malick, now he came

the profits all of a sudden told him that

what happened? Did you not have the equipment? Why didn't you come carbon medical below and who said if I were sitting in front of anyone else, I could have lied to them. I could have made something up and made them believe me. However, I know that if I lie to you, and please you, Allah will never be happy with me. But if I speak the truth, because of which I know you will be unhappy with me. I hope that Allah will forgive me. So carbon Malik, basically, he confessed he admitted his mistake. So the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he told him, Okay, now get up and wait. So get up until Allah decides your case. So carbon Malik, he got up from the masjid and as he was leaving, people came rushing

after him, what did you just do? You could have made an excuse and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would have been okay with you. And so many people said this time that carbon Malik thought I should go back and lie to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he almost thought of doing that.

But Allah subhanaw taala gave him stability. And what happened? He didn't lie. He remained firm upon the truth. After some time the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he told the people

do not speak with gar Ben Malik.

No one was allowed to speak to carpet Malik.

Imagine Garban Malik was wondering, Am I the only one who's like this. And he found out that there were two other companions who had also gone to the prophets of Allah Islam and confess their mistakes. One of them. The reason was that his orchard was ready. He was about to, you know, harvest. So that kept him busy. And the other companion, his family was all gathered together. And so he thought it's okay and both of them had actually participated in brother. So carbon Maliki realized that, okay, I'm not alone. There are other people with me who are firm upon the truth. So this made him even stronger, even stronger.

So these two companions, what happened the other two, they were older, and they just remained in their homes and they wept and wept and wept. Garbin Malik, on the other hand, was young and courageous and strong. He was also a poet. So he wouldn't just stay in his house, he would go to the masjid pray with the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he will go about the streets, he would go to the marketplace. But imagine that was more difficult. Imagine you're walking and people see you and they look away. How hard that must have been. He would go to the masjid and greet the prophets of Allah Islam, and he would wait to hear the response but he wouldn't know if the prophets of Allah has

responded to him or not.

He would sit and just watch the Prophet sallallahu wasallam but the Prophet said Ulsan would not look towards him. And when carbon Malik would stand up to pray, he could feel that the profits or loss I was looking at him.

Imagine going through this carbon Malick one day

he was feeling so alone, so distressed

He climbed over the wall of one of his relatives of Waka Tada. And what happened? When he climbed over? He said, Oh Abu Qatada I beseech you by Allah. Do you know that I love Allah and His messenger? Don't you know that I'm a sincere believer? You know that I love Allah, you know that I love Rasul Allah that Allah is, why won't you talk to me? Why won't you be okay with me? Don't you know that I'm a believer?

Abu Qatada was silent. He didn't answer. He said, I beseech you by Allah. Again. He said to him again, he sat down he said, In the name of Allah tell me, do you not know that I'm a believer? I love Allah and His messenger. Abu Qatada just responded, Allahu wa rasuluh who are Allah, Allah and His Messenger no better.

Garbin Malik. He said, My eyes were filled up with tears. Just imagine. This is like the height of rejection. When you're asking somebody, don't you know that I'm with you. I'm a sincere believer. I have faith in my heart. Once you accept me, yes, I made a mistake. But once you accept me for who I am,

and I will put that assess to him Allah and His Messenger, no better.

Karpen Malik, his eyes were full of tears, and he just left.

He said, One day I was walking in the marketplace. When a man came. This man, he came from the Romans, and he said, guide me to carbon molecules, carbon Malik. So the people directed that man towards carbon Malik. And that man handed a letter to carbon Matic and that letter was from the King of sun, the king of Lausanne. And was surnames were those were close to the Romans. Imagine the king sends a letter to carbon Malik. And in that letter what is written to proceed, I have been informed that your friend has treated you harshly. Anyhow, God does not make you live in a place where you feel inferior and your right is lost. So join us and we will console you. It was basically an offer

a lead Muhammad salallahu Salam come join us.

Garban Malik took that letter, walked up to an oven and ditched it.

Can you imagine facing rejection from your people? Someone else offers you come join us. We'll be your buddies. But he knows he knew what that meant. He meant that meant you get to enjoy a little bit now and punishment forever in the hereafter.

As great as an offer, it was carbon Malik knew its reality. So he burnt it right there. And then

40 days passed like this. How many 40 Not four, not 1040. That's over a month.

That's over a month, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he sent a message to carbon Malik and his other two companions, a selesa. Keep away from your wives.

Keep away from your wives.

You're not allowed to

mingle with them. You're not allowed to have any relations with them.

Garban Malik malic acid I divorced my wife. He said no, just keep away. One of the companions. He was very old, one of the three. He was very old. So his wife went to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and said, Oh Prophet, he's a very old man. He cannot help himself. He does not have any servant, please allow me to serve him at least. So the prophets are a lot of them said okay, but do not have any relations with him. She said he's got no desire left in him. For the past 40 days, he's only been crying. He's only been crying. He has no interest in me. He's no interest in anything. He's just been crying all this time.

40 days past like this

Garbin medical doula Warren who?

He said that one day.

I was at the roof of one of our houses. And I had finished the morning prayer. And this was the 50th day.

He had finished the fajr prayer. And he said I was feeling exactly how Allah subhanaw taala has described our state in the Quran. What is that state? Look at the

wireless cell Earth Atilla Deena holy fu Hatter until either law but their matter was delayed so much until either baccata la human or Lou until the earth became tight and restricted upon them blocked from leap to be tight and narrow. Be mellow Hilbert despite its vastness, Robert to be vast. Despite the fact that Medina was still Medina. You

Yesterday was still an open place, a beautiful oasis surrounded by the vast desert. Yet that same land felt very tight and narrow upon them. Why? Because of the social boycott, because of not knowing what was going to happen with them, would Allah pardon them? Or would he punish them? They didn't know baccata or lay him will have to be ma Rahu. But what barcodes and it became tight, I lay him upon them and for so long their souls, their own souls confined them. They felt suffocated in their own bodies,

their own bodies suffocated them.

Their own selves became unbearable for them. They were so frustrated with themselves even that that didn't know what to do.

And it happens with people that when they face rejection,

when nobody's getting along with them, a moment comes when they cannot even get along with themselves. And this is when many people become suicidal. They say, You know what, I can't bear myself anymore. I hate myself for what I've done for who I am for what I've said, I hate myself. So they just want to take something and finish themselves off, well block out or lay him on Fuso home, their own souls became narrower upon them. They were frustrated with themselves, they could not tolerate themselves anymore. What one know and they knew for sure, I'm that lamb manager. There is no manager, manager from the root letters. Lam Jeem Hamza Lu, Lu is refuge manager is one who

provides refuge, one who gives shelter, then you that there is no manager, no place of security, no place of shelter, mean Allah from Allah INLA except la de to him. They knew no one could shelter them, their families, their spouses, the Casa needs, no one could protect them from Allah, who could protect them.

Who could protect them Illa la he only Allah subhanaw taala

guard Ben Malik was sitting on the roof of the house and feeling like that lonely date suffocated in his own body,

wondering what's going to happen, and he knew that if Allah doesn't forgive me, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who I am, what I can do If Allah doesn't pardon me, I'm an absolute loser.

And this is why he didn't give up.

He's sitting like that. And all of a sudden, he hears something.

What does he hear? He hears someone announcing shouting at the top of his voice.

Rejoice Garbin Malik. Someone who is at the top of the mountain of Salah, shouting any yelling a carbon Malik rejoice or carbon Malik, and karma he gets it like what's going on? What's going on?

And he saw that it was a Boba Kobudo who was standing up at Mountain yelling and somebody else was running towards him on a horse and who was that? Or Matilda who aren't who, because in the morning of the 50th night after fajr these ayat were revealed. As soon as these ayat were revealed, showing that Allah had pardoned carbon Malik Boubacar Abdullah Warren who didn't wait. He got up and he ran when Ermenegildo Warren who saw a bucket running, he said let me take my horse and run to carbon medic, I'll get there faster. I want to be the one who gives him this good news. But what happened? Oh buckle was smarter than remoulded on him. So you climbed up the mountain and yelled out.

And not just these two people, many, many more people were just running and running towards carbon Malik in order to meet him carbon Malik when he heard that announcement when he heard that news. He went straight to the masjid. When he got there the prophets of Allah Olson was sitting and when he got there everybody sitting Valhalla little Dilawar know he gets up, he comes forward, and he hugs him, congratulates him. The Prophet said a lot isn't him. He says, Well carbery Joyce this the best day of your life since your mother gave birth to you.

Or Ben Malik, his Toba was accepted. His repentance was accepted. Allah forgave him, carbon medical little or no and he said to the prophets that a lot of seven will Allah's Messenger because of the acceptance of my repentance

I will give all my wealth in charity Allah forgive me, I'll give everything in the way of Allah is gratitude. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, keep some of your wealth, it will be better for you. Yes, you're very happy, but keep some of it. Carbon Malik said, O Allah's messenger. Allah has saved me for telling the truth.

Allah saved me why? Because I spoke the truth I did not lie.

And as part of my repentance, I will never utter a lie as long as I live

will learn No, a lamb Alger Amin Allah He INLA la he samatha Barili him Leah Tobu. So he turned in mercy to them so that they would seek his forgiveness they would repent in Allah who at the web of Rahim, indeed Allah He is at the world the Accepting of repentance of Rahim, the Merciful.

What's the lesson in the story for us?

Tell the truth. No matter how difficult it is, what other lesson is there in the story for us?

Worry about making Allah happy, not people. People can be okay with you. They can forgive you. They'll bear with you. But if Allah is not happy, then it doesn't matter.

Don't lose hope in seeking forgiveness from Allah Garban Malik. Imagine he's facing rejection up to 50 days. Imagine if we made to offer something for 50 times if we make the offer something 50 times and we don't see any results. Would we raise up our hands again?

Would we? What do we do we give up? We say Allah doesn't listen to me. He doesn't accept my prayers. Garban Malik and his companions knew. If ALLAH does not forgive us, who can shelter us? Where can we go? Where can we find protection? We can't do nothing. If Allah is not happy with us. They knew this as a fact will one know Allah ml German Allah, Allah Li Li. So don't leave his door until you are pardoned.

Don't give up until you get yourself forgiven.

Keep begging Allah for mercy and be firm, beg him. You know, like we want something from people and we beg them. We ask them, we write to them, we remind them, we ask them again, we send word to them. We don't give up until we have what we want.

We don't care about how cheap we look. We don't care about how greedy we look. How humiliated we look. We don't care because we want something

be determined in seeking forgiveness like this. In getting your sins forgiven like this. And it doesn't matter what sin it is. If you are determined and hopeful forgiveness is for you. If you are determined, and you are hopeful, then Allah subhanaw taala will for you.

Abu Qatada Abu Lauren who was with carbon Malik alone, there in the garden, nobody's there. But Abu Qatada remember the Prophet salallahu Salam has forbidden me from talking to carp. So even though carbon Malik is insisting again and again and again to double Qatada talk to him have a conversation with him know

exactly carbon Malik could have easily gone to the king of Lausanne attained a high position over there. He was a poet, someone who had a lot of value in Arabia, but yet he didn't leave the messenger. So a lot of it is

if for 50 days, they had to suffer boycott and isolation for the sin of procrastination. Doesn't that tell us about how worse the punishment of the Hereafter will be?

Think about it. 50 days of isolation. Why? Because of procrastination.

Imagine how much worse the punishment of the Hereafter will be for not just procrastination, but for sins that are greater than that. What world are we living in? We think keep setting it's okay. Allah photo Rahim.
