going to share final agenda Smilla Rahmanir Rahim lesson number 127. So doTERRA is number one to 17 sort of the word is a murky Surah but it's a very different kind of a murky surah in the sense that the verses are long, which is not typical off maki sutras, but the contents of the surah are definitely murky style and there are 43 verses in the Surah so a total of how many verses 43 only. So this is going to be the shortest Surah that you will be studying in sha Allah after sort of the Fatiha right because you're used to my shell, so we're gonna walk through the Toba so now inshallah a short Surah but don't think that the sutras are going to become this length from the surah
onwards, no, they will catch up more length inshallah.
Okay, Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. Elif Lam ra teleca, Ayatollah kitab. These are the verses of the book, meaning what you're reading are the verses of the book of Allah, the Quran Wonderly owns the LA Laker middle Arabic and that which has been revealed to you for Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from your Lord, meaning everything that has been revealed to you from your Lord, the Quran, all of that is what it is and it is the truth. What I can ask the onesie now you may know but most of the people, they do not believe most of the people, whether it is the people of your time meaning waka when the Prophet sallallahu sallam was sent or after that any place anytime the reaction of the
majority of the people has been what? That they do not believe in the Quran. Why? Because they do not reflect upon the Quran, nor do they try to understand it. And if they understood just one thing about the Quran, just one thing that the Quran was revealed upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then it would be very easy for them to do believe. How
that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if he is the one reciting the Quran, a man who was not a poet, a man who was not a thinker, a philosopher. Rather he was a man who was unlettered, who lived at a time when there was no printing press, when there was no state media, when there was only a handful of people who knew how to read and write. At a time when there was no tradition of education of literacy. At a time when no one had produced anything like the Quran, then it would be easy for them to realize that Muhammad's a lot of Saddam was not a liar. This Quran was not his own speech. This Quran is the kalam of Allah, because there was nobody around that time who had produced
anything like the Quran.
There was like I mentioned there was no tradition of, you know, educating people. We are children of literacy, there was no writers in Makkah, they were an unlettered nation. So it cannot be expected that Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam studied a few books increased his vocabulary, you know, studied under a few teachers traveled here and there got a lot of experience. And then he made an attempt to save the Quran, but it didn't work out. So he tried again and he tried again. And finally he produced something like the Quran. No, not possible. This is not how it was.
The Quran was recited by a man who was unlettered, who never wrote a word, he erased it, but he never wrote it. He didn't know how to write. And you cannot imagine that a story like that of use of renessa is produced by you know, someone who's just thinking in his head, no, not possible.
If this was the work of a human being, it would have been written once and edited over 100 times, and then only it could have been produced in this shape and form. So Allah says that this Quran has helped, but most of the people they do not believe because they don't understand the origins of the book. They don't pay attention to the man who recited this book to the man on whom this book was revealed. And if they paid even a little bit of attention, then it will be easy for them to understand.
But just because majority of the people reject the Quran, does that reduce the value of the Quran? Does that reduce the importance of the Quran? No.
Reality doesn't change just because people reject it. If it's daylight, if it's daytime outside, and let's say I say, No, no, it's not daytime. It's nighttime. It's an excuse me look outside. I say no, no, it's nighttime.
Who's a fool? I would be a fool. My saying that it's nighttime right now. It doesn't change any reality. So likewise people can say whatever they want about the Quran. But it doesn't change the reality of the Quran. It is a hawk. It is the truth from Allah. Who is he? The one who sent this Quran, Allah who Allah, the Rafah, Sama wet. Allah is the One who has raised the heavens, who has raised the sky above you that you see how belated Ramadan will without any Ahmed, what is our lead pillar? Without any pillar that Oh, no, ha, you see it? Meaning the sky is above you.
And in the sky, there are huge, massive clouds, heavy clouds in the sky. You see the sun, you see the moon, you see the stars, so many things. But what do you see supporting? The sun?
Or the moon?
Or the clouds? What is supporting it from beneath? What is are there any pillars? Are there any structures? Nothing? Think about it. This roof that is on our head? What is it standing on?
What is it standing on? These pillars? This thing that you see this big screen?
Is it just hanging by itself?
This floating mid air? No. There's got to be some kind of support either from beneath or from above. Right? These fans also that you see each one of them their support behind it. Otherwise it's not possible.
Allah subhanaw taala has made this massive, massive sky, so many things within it. But there are no pillars. No pillar is holding it up. No better is holding the sign holding the moon. Is it suspended with something from the top? No. Then how how was it just there in the sky? Allah subhanaw taala made it like that.
And you all know that all of the celestial bodies, they're bound together with an invisible magnetic field, right? With many forces and energies that are invisible to our eyes that we don't see. But they are there because of which they're all bound together. Because of which they don't just fall. They don't just collapse. There's something
right?
It's there, but it's hidden. Do we believe in it? Of course. And if somebody rejected it, then they would be a fool.
We believe in it even though we cannot see that force.
But on what basis do people reject the existence of God? On what basis? What do they say? I don't see God. If I saw him I believing him right away. Well, there are so many things, you know are present. You can't touch them. You cannot hear them. You cannot smell them. You cannot see them but you believe in them. Why? Because the signs are present. The signs are present. Likewise, Allah azza wa jal you can't see him. But don't you see all his if around you.
All the if above you, around you below you, Allahu Allah, the Rafah somewhere to be laid here, I'm not in Tirana. So most of our idle ash, then he rose above the throne, meaning when he completed the creation, then he rose above the throne. How did he rise on the throne? He knows better. Where's that throne?
Can you go see it? No. And even if you were standing in front of it, you wouldn't be able to see it. Why? Because it's massive. And when something is too huge before you, you can't see it. You can't have the whole picture before you because it's too big to you. It's too big before you.
There are four things that Allah subhanaw taala made with his hand by himself. What are those four things?
didn't relate to Silla? Yes. Jana
the kalam
And fourthly the ash. And there are also is the biggest, biggest creation that Allah subhanaw taala has created
biggest creation.
You know, when you're telling children about big things, when they begin to realize, oh, the sun is even bigger than the Earth.
Or they start comparing the size of the continent or the size of the countries or the size of the lakes and the sizes of the oceans and the seas. They wonder what's bigger than that? What's bigger than that? What's bigger than that? Tell them the biggest thing that Allah has made as what is the ash? So thumbless though are a large one.
Sahara shumsa will come on, and he has subjected the sun in the moon called alone all meaning all the celestial bodies from the sun, the moon, all of them Yejide it flows, meaning it's going on the edge Halima sanma. Until a fixed term, the sun, the moon, all the celestial bodies, they're going about their orbits or they're going about their set patterns. Until when, until a fixed time. And what is that fixed time, the Day of Judgment, you the middle, Allah regulates the affairs, you the bureau leaders to be man management, planning, executing all those plans, he is doing that among the entire among all the matters are being managed by who? Allah subhanaw taala
all the affairs of the heavens and the earth are being run by who? Allah subhanaw taala he didn't just create the creation and abandon it. No.
He created the creation and he runs the affairs of his creation also fully completely in every way you the bureau armor. And just think about so many things are happening all the time on this earth. So many things that are happening. I mean, think about your own body also what's going on in your body? Every moment every second, there's so many things going on who's regulating that? who's managing that? Allah subhanaw taala Yuda Bill um, you first Slidell as he explains the details, the if the signs Landler calm so that you believe, call your OB come to pinion, you can with the meeting of your Lord, believe with certainty. He explains all of these things to you, so that you can
believe with conviction that one day you are going to meet your Lord.
Because think about it, the sun and the moon, the stars, the earth, everything is doing
its job. Right. Everything is doing its work. Until when, until the time of its expiry. And we know that everything that is in existence right now, eventually will come to an end. And like we just heard this amazing fact that every cell of your body
it changes. So 10 years from now, almost every cell in your body will be different than it is today.
What does that show to us? That everything has its end, every child that is born, one day will die. Every tree that grows one day will die. Every rainfall that happens eventually it comes to a stop. Right? So when everything has an end, we do have an end. If we reflect on the creation, this is something that we can clearly see. It's visible to us, everything is going to end. So people also one day they will die. And one day they will meet their Creator Wahoo Allah the and he is the one who muddle Allah. He has spread the earth mud meme dial that mud is to stretch to prolong. You know, like when you're doing mud in touch with
what is that? You're stretching, you're prolonging the sound. Right?
So Mudal after he has stretched the earth, meaning
this earth, He has made it suspicious, vast, it's not flat. You know that it's not flat. Yet when you walk on it, and when you travel on it, it seems like it's smooth. I mean, it's flat, but you know, it's not like that. And it's endless, because Mudville order he has stretched it, it's so vast, it's so spacious. What Gylfi hydrolyse and he has placed in it lower sea floor level Lawson raw seen well Russell and also is to be firmly rooted. So he has placed on the earth mountains that are firmly anchored, that are fixed in one place that they don't just shake easily. There's got to be a really big earthquake, to move the mountains and even then they don't just walk away from these
mountains are deeply rooted in the earth. They're strong, they're bagged, and they also stabilize the earth ro SE. And he is also placed on the earth, well unhealed all and rivers plural of Navajo, and these rivers where did the flow mainly from between mountains?
And where does that water come from into the rivers from melting
ice or snow or glaciers, whatever that are on tops of the mountains, right or
rain that falls and then from the mountains of collects into the pathways in the middle and that forms into rivers. One how long and he has made rivers woman Khalifa Murad and from every fruit gyla Fia he has made in it XO Jane to bears his name to meaning every fruit every kind of fruit He has made it off to the edge. What does it mean by this he has made it up to his own this has been understood in a number of ways some scholars have said this means that there are at least two kinds of every fruit so for example apples not just read one type of Apple no
there is many many different types go apple picking
and be amazed at the different types of apples. We think all right Apple or green apple or yellow apple and that's it no even within them there's so much variety.
So some set the dough Janus nine means that every fruit is at least of two types.
Is it is it yeah, this go see the watermelons these days.
You don't know whether to buy the biggest highest or the medium size or the smallest size right? There's so much variety. Look at the beaches and the nectarines. So many colors, so many sizes, so many tastes textures.
Yeah, and if anything, they're all from different countries. So, this is what some said and other said that what it means is that every fruit Jarlath he has Oh Jane is nine if you think about the how fruit grows, how does it grow through pollination right there has to be pollination and only then the fruit can grow. And that pollination means what that part of the plant or the tree or certain trees they are male and others are female.
So though Janie's name the pollen has to reach from the male part to the female in order for fruit to grow. So Majora Lufia or Alessia when Halloween Khalifa Murad Giada he has Audrina its name, Yoshi Leyland.
He makes the night to cover the day you'll see he makes to cover
he makes to cover what a ladle the night he makes the night cover what and the how to the day. This part these three words are amazing.
Yoshi Leila Nohara, it can be understood in both ways that he makes the night to cover the day and he makes the day to cover the night.
How he makes to cover a Leila the night onto the day. Okay, or you can understand this as he makes to cover the night by the day. So either the night is covering the day or the day is covering the night. And isn't that what's happening all the time? Yes. One comes in overtakes the other which overtakes the other and it's a constant cycle.
In the field Adicolor is indeed and that are surely signs live call me at the Quran. For those who give thought for those who reflect what are the signs, nothing is permanent.
The only thing that's permanent in life is change. After darkness is light after light is darkness after glory is defeat after defeat is glory victory again, after health is sickness after sickness is health. So if you're sick, don't think you're gonna die. And this is the end of the world. And if you're healthy, don't think you will forever be like that. remain humble, remain obedient to Allah, thank him in good times, praise him in hard times.
And live your life to the best of your ability.
Also, in the variety that is mentioned, what do we see
that we think things are only to be done in one particular way, no longer so much variety that Allah has created. And if you think about when it comes to food, really there's a billion options depending on how you put that food together. So much variety.
It's amazing how the good spreads
that bees they will come and take the nectar from one flower and at the same time, catch some pollen on their legs on their wings, whatever and then transfer that to another flower pollination has occurred. birds and animals will eat the fruit and then they will go defecate somewhere and the seeds will come out and there's natural fertilizer and another tree will grow. It's amazing.
So in the field Adicolor if you call me at a karoun will fill ugly and in the earth pit our own our portions
Good luck is a Florida Cathar tune, not get them. Okay, good luck. Guitar Tone means a piece or a portion of something clear thorough. There are pieces portions that are Multijet a lot with a job a lot. There's a Florida with a job from the letters Gene Wilder Jewelle to be a neighbor, Joe, Joe, we're in New Jersey Hola, como, I'm a neighbor to you. Ship on set to the machine. Remember, in new Java local. So motor, Jeremy Roth are those that are neighboring, meaning one is next to the other. So on the earth, you see pieces of land that are right next to each other, but Allah subhanaw taala calls them Cathar. Why? Why are they called pieces, because they're so different from one another.
So different from one another.
You know, it's like when you're walking on a street, and you're looking at the front yards of people. And they're two houses next to one another. And their front yards are basically next to each other. But yet you see the difference in the color of the grass. Do you see that? Do you notice that sometimes. And you see that one is more weedy and the other is not weedy.
Right. One is very nice, like good grass. And the other is not? If you think about it. I mean, is there a wall in the middle?
Is there a wall in the middle? No. And this is just a difference in the grass.
In geography, there's a concept of tectonic plates. And it said that Asia even though it's just one large landmass, it's actually made up of at least three different tectonic plates. So that even though they're all joined together, like even if it seems like it's one large thing, they're actually on three different plates altogether. So
this is at a very big scale. But even at a smaller scale, if you see, you know, sometimes you're driving by like maybe from one city to another, and you see fields of just a yellow, yellow.
And then you see fields it is green, green, and then only mud, and then sand.
So much variety, even in the land will fill up the pit, our own muda we rot some parts of the soil, very soft and fertile, and others not fertile at all. Some are Sandy, some are rocky, some are muddy, some are grassy, even the color of mud is different, right? Some mud or sand, it's red, and others are of lighter colors. So we'll fill all the clutter on with the job a lot. And they're right next to each other. So different yet they're next to each other.
That has little bacillary he said that this is the example that Allah strikes for the hearts of the children of Adam.
Their origin is one. But they have differences in good and evil and Eman and Cofer. If you think about it, mud, I mean Earth, it's the same.
But yet we see colors are different acidity level or whatever is different, right one is more fertile, the other is less fertile. And this is how people are.
Right? They could be living next to one another. They could have grown up next to each other. But they are so different in their nature. Each person is different we want people to be you know, for example, parents, they want all the children to be exactly the same, but doesn't happen. Same parents one child is so calm, so cooperating so humble and obedient and the other is a wildcard.
Hmm. You don't know how they're going to react.
barons are the same. They're the origins of both these children are the same. But they're different in their nature, they're different in their habits, they're different in their behavior. This is how the creation of Allah subhanaw taala is and if everyone was the same,
if everyone was the same, then tell me how would be your life. Boring,
monotonous, because you see, when things are different when you come across different different things gets challenging for you also, right you want the entire yard of yours to be exactly the same. You don't need to do anything but just you know, cut the grass but what happens parts of it needs receding parts of it needs new soil. It's challenging, it's difficult, but inshallah there is hate in that. Likewise, when we're dealing with people, some people they require more attention.
Right? They want more time from you. They want more cooperation from you. They want more love from you, they want you more and others are different. But remember, in shalders lead in that as difficult as it is, you know, like some children are very needy and others are very independent. And for the mother it's very difficult. Why is my child so needy? Why does
He figured out already how to put his shoes on.
But think about it you get to spend more time with your child. Just wait until they grew up and then they're going to run away from you. So we'll fill out the guitar on with a job a lot with a net on and gardens man Arnab off grapevines, meaning there are portions of land that have nothing going and then there are others which are beautiful orchards with elegant plants and beautiful fruit growing on them with Genet them in our nub
and on the earth Allah has also made was our own what his daughter crop, when a heel and date palms and both of these crops and date palms what are their like sling when will they you know sling when
some are sling one and others are not sling one. What?
What What are two things that are mentioned over here Zutter and Nephin. crops and date bombs. Now what is this word slang one. Slang one is from the letter sloth known well, slim, slim one is when
there are two or more stems
growing from a single origin single root.
Do you understand?
You see like some plants are just one stem. Okay, one stem leaves, flowers, fruit, whatever, tree, one trunk, branches, leaves, fruit, all that stuff. But then there are others that there are three trunks or two trunks coming out from one spot. You know what I'm talking about? Can you please google some pictures and show them exactly okay. So this is line one, some arseling one from one root multiple stems. And this happens in crop. And it also happens in trees. And there are others that are vital sign one meaning they're single stemmed. So you understand the latest in one means single stamp and sign one means multiple stamp.
Amazing use be met in Weatherhead they are watered with the same water one type of water
but the end product the result is different.
Same water is given to the plants. It's not like you're giving sugary water to an apple tree and salty water to a tomato plant. No same water is falling on different kinds of plans. But yet the results are different. When will fugly Lou Barbra and we prefer some of them are about over others in what Phil OCO in the fruit in the test. So there could be two trees right next to one another. But one tree the fruit is very sweet and the other tree not too sweet. You could have two tomato plants, that one plant is producing tomatoes that are very nice and sweet. And others very bitter no matter how right they get. It kind of makes me think about how the Quran it's one grand and it's
given to everyone but yet some people are able to benefit from it and others aren't. But it's the same. Yes, that some people they become so sweet and others they become so bitter. Some they change so much so beautifully. They become more beautiful and others they don't. Another example that came to my mind was about identical twins, how the embryo splits into two. And it's the same route the same egg and spin same sperm, but it divides into two. So it's amazing. So same water but the results are different. Wonderful blue bar bahala Baldan Phil Oaken infidel Nicola Atelier comi Archelon indeed in that are surely signs for people who use intellect who look we'll see who think
will reflect
now what do we learn from this that everything has its own flavor?
On flavor, on taste, each person tastes different. Okay. So you deal with different people, with some people, when you interact with them, you get a very good, nice experience and with other people, when you interact with them, you have a very bitter experience.
So what is it that we need to think about ourselves that How am I to deal with when people deal with me? Do they get a bitter taste in their mouth or do they get a smile on their face? Because we are very quick to judge other people. She's sweet, she's sweet, she's bitter. She's this she's that let's look at ourselves.
When How am I to deal with you know this
Some fruit you eat it's very satisfying. You know like fresh watermelon sweet. Just perfect you have it and you're like on hunger
such a satisfying experience.
So likewise some people when you deal with them when you speak to them when you work with them you feel satisfied that Al Hamdulillah you leave with a happy heart content heart and others when you deal with them you're not settled.
So how are we to deal with when people deal with me? What kind of tastes do I leave in their mouth?
What kind of memories do I leave in their mind?
What kind of feelings do I leave in their hearts? This is something that we need to reflect on.
Let's listen to the recitation of these verses.

see the ending of the verses in Nevada is for who?
The common the RFP loan and
previously you come in
yet have a karoun. Right. So use mind and think and reflect. Don't just look at the things on the surface and say, okay, no think take a lesson. Everything that you come across of nature that Allah has created. There is a lesson for us to learn in it. Have you ever made goop? goop? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Okay, try this at home today. But please do it outside. Okay.
Two parts cornstarch, and one part water, mix it up, and then punch it, punch it and you know what's going to happen. Your hand is going to hurt because you're not going to go in. But then if you let your hand sink, it will actually sink. You take a little bit of it make a ball. It'll be like Play Doh. Leave it in your hand. It'll melt.
Try it. Do it today. Okay.
As I was doing this with my kids, I couldn't help but reflect people are different.
That sometimes we want to deal with people very harshly. This is the rule and this is the rule and we're tough with them. And you know what happens? We're just hitting the wall. We're just hitting the wall. Be gentle, and you'll go right in
there.
Be gentle and they will melt in your hand.
Lessons, right? So the things that Allah has created, the things that we eat, the things that we see their lessons that Allah subhanaw taala is teaching us through them. So always reflect. Now, today in sha Allah when you have your fruit salad for IFLA don't just look at the fact that there's no strawberries, but appreciate the different colors and the different flavors. Okay, pay attention to detail do de facto use Apple and this is a comparison for you. So one day palm is single trunk and the other is two trunks coming from the same route. May Allah subhanaw taala give us the eye of Abraham, so that we take a lesson from everything that happens in life because think if we cannot
take a lesson from physical things, how can we take lesson from intangible things from the events in our lives?
