Lesson number 129 sort of Ibrahim is one to 17 surah. Ibrahim is an Iraqi surah and it was revealed at a time of extreme opposition. So you're talking about a time when the Prophet sallallahu sallam was facing a lot of resistance, a lot of opposition, a lot of persecution from his opponents from the people of Makkah. Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim, la flamme ra huruf Macatawa Kitab en Angela who alayka This is a Book which We have revealed to you. This Quran is a scripture that we have given to you are Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, why?
Why? So that you have a beautiful copy of it? And you study and take a course and have a diploma? Yeah. What's the purpose of this book? Lead to region NASA mineral volume, Illuminati? Illa. No. So that you bring people out of darkness into light. You bring a nurse or a nurse,
Muslims, who are UNECE all of mankind, out of darkness which darkness of Cofer of misguidance of ignorance, bring them out of this darkness into light which light of EMA he their guidance, knowledge? How be in Europe be him by the permission of their Lord? Because if Allah does not allow for a servant to come out of darkness, he can never come out? And who is it that can really come out of darkness? Who the one who wants to come out of darkness, the one whom Allah gives guidance to? Because you see there is a law of guidance that Allah subhanaw taala has and what is that the person who wants to be guided, the one who shows seriousness in the matter of guidance, Allah will show him
the way and the person who does not want that guidance, who doesn't show any kind of seriousness in this regard, then he will never find the right way he will never find light. So the Quran is sent to take people out of darkness into light the kidney or beat him and when they come out of darkness to light, where will they be inositol authorizes it Hamid, to the way to the path of who Allah disease and Hamid meaning Allah subhanaw taala. But which two names are mentioned here, LR z is the Exalted in Might al Hamid the Praiseworthy, always deserving of praise. So, the prophets have a lot of southern where he was facing extreme opposition. Here he is reminded very forcefully in very clear
terms, what his mission and purpose was. That yes, there is persecution, but realize that people are in darkness.
We become selfish. We only think about ourselves, we only think about that we are suffering, we are hurting, our children are dying. But we forget that people are in blue mat.
People are in darkness, if they don't come out of that darkness into light, there is misery for them forever. For eternity. We only think about ourselves. This is why we want the pain to end. But Allah subhanaw taala wants us to think about everyone.
Everyone think about the people, a nurse who are in blue man, and they have to be taken out of North.
And this idea clearly tells us that any person who wants guidance, who wants light, then they must begin that journey with what with the book of Allah, the Quran because the Quran brings out of darkness into light, it improves the state of a person, it's the most progressive book you can say. It really shows you the way forward makes you better in every way at every level.
You see, there are two kinds of darkness is one is external darkness and the other is internal darkness, external of society was all injustice go for that is around and the other is that which is in the heart of a person.
So people need to be taken out of both of these darknesses and enter light.
The way of who of Aziz al Hamid, who is he Allah He is Allah, Allah de la whomever's Samoa Tijuana fill out to whom belong whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Because he has created all of that. He sustains all of it. He owns all of this so everyone is His servant will Waylon and whoa meaning utter destruction for who lived caffeine for the disbelievers. Men are there been shielded from a severe punishment, meaning such a severe punishment will come upon them that will completely destroy
Though Wait, wait is complete destruction, war, meaning may they be destroyed. So they will be destroyed. How, with a severe punishment, and it's up to Allah, whether he sends it now, or he keeps it for the ACA.
So realize who has sent this book? Who is it that everyone is servant to? Allah subhanaw taala. So look around at the sky, look around at the earth and recognize your Lord know your Lord and those who reject for them as severe punishment. Who are they? They are a Lavina those people who yes the hipbone and higher the dunya those who reject those who disbelieve are those people who prefer the life of this world. Yes, the WHO Bona from habba hope What does hope mean? Love, and it's their job is to love one over the other to prefer one over the other. And it's natural, whatever you love, you tend to prefer it over everything else. If you're offered a basket full of fruit got ready to eat.
You like strawberries, you will only pick strawberries. I don't know why I'm bringing strawberries again and again.
So what you love you prefer over everything. What is it that you love? What makes you love something?
Why do you love something? So for example, if it's strawberries you love Why would you love strawberries over grapes.
Because that's what you enjoy.
That is what you enjoy you like that you enjoy the taste the texture of strawberries more than grapes. So you will prefer them over other fruits. That is what you enjoy.
One more reason why we love certain things. Because we've never tried other things. You don't like children. They've never had a particular fruit or a particular food. They've never had it. And they see it and they say, I'm not going to have it. But what does the mother say? Just have one bite. Just taste it.
You haven't even tried it? How can you refuse it? All you know, is strawberries. You've never had grapes. I mean, these grapes are good. They're seedless. So just try them. If you try it, maybe you like it.
This is the problem with many people will behave like children. We see something in this life. We enjoy it. We fall in love with it. And we think this is it. This is all whereas in the Sahara in Jannah, Allah subhanaw taala has prepared something that is far better,
far more beautiful.
But there are some people whose eyes whose vision is limited, who don't have that patients who just want everything now now. So Alladhina is the hipbone are hired to duniya Farah, and what a poor choice what a bad choice. Because this person is basically depriving themselves right?
Many times it happens that you have to push people come on, try it, but they're not willing and you feel pity for them. Try it so that you can enjoy you can have fun, but they refuse. You feel bad for them. Allah feels bad for people who don't want to make it to the
Alladhina yester hipbone unhide the dunya and akhira were so dooner and severe Allah and the stop people from the way of Allah. Why do they stop people from the religion of Allah? Why? Because they don't like the religion of Allah. They find the religion have a left to be too restrictive. They feel that their religion of Allah is not in their best interests. If their religion of Allah prevails, their worldly enjoyment will be compromised. So this is why they don't want Allah's religion. And they stop people from Allah's religion also. And we have a winner her imager and they find it crookedness, but they look for crookedness in the religion.
They forget about everything, they just pick on a few things, to show that Islam is really bad and Islam is very barbaric and so on and so forth. Were born her imager so that they don't look like the bad guy. Islam looks bad. Muslims look bad. And as a result, they look like the good people. We're gonna hire imager, Allah says Allah Acuff Ebola linbury Those are in extreme error. Notice the word buried, what does buried mean far, so they are misguided and they've gone far in their misguidance away from the truth. So they are engulfed in their error in their ignorance. They are wrong and they're also taking others astray. I want you to think about it. When there are people striving so
hard to stop people from Allah's religion, to make them think negatively about Islam. What are we doing? What are we doing?
waiting for some miracle to happen.
What does Allah say? He addresses the messenger the book has been given to you so that you take people out of darkness into light. Because there are forces of evil, pushing people into darkness throwing people into darkness. And you have the slide your responsibility is to take people towards the light guide them, show them the Hulk.
You see, there's so many people because they have some reason, some conscience, what do they do? They stand up for justice. Right? They stand up for rights, whether they're animals rights, or whatever it may be. Why? Because they have some kind of morality in them some kind of, you know, decency in them. So when they see injustice, they speak out against it.
The greatest injustice is that people are ignorant of their Lord, ignorant of the dean of the Quran. Why? Because others have portrayed the wrong image to them. What kind of morality do we have if we don't speak up over there? If we don't defend Islam, if we don't promote Islam, if we don't tell people about the religion of Allah, is it fair?
There are people working against you and there you are standing, sitting, saying, oh, Allah will guide May Allah guide.
You have to do something yourself also. Alladhina is the hipbone are here to dunya era. So donor and submit and now we have a winner that will take off Ebola limb, very think about it, if someone was after you in this way.
They're after you in this way. They're finding faults in you problems in UI lighting them all the time telling people not to be your friends not to follow you. Then would you do anything defend yourself? Would you speak up? Of course you would.
The believers are those to whom the religion of Allah is more beloved to them than their own lives. The Prophet of Allah is more beloved to them than their own selves, while my other Salama Rasul in and we have not sent any messenger in that except Balasana call me.
Bill is any with language call me of his nation, meaning every messenger spoke the language of the people to whom he was sent to? Why? Why the same language? Why not a foreign language so that he could impress them?
Oh, my God, Well, to answer that question is because so they can relate to them. But I also wanted to share something I went to a lecture once, and the speaker said, he sat beside a man on a plane, who was Christian, and his job was to fly to different countries and preach Christianity. And he said that all his airfare is totally covered. And he's sponsored to do this. And so the speaker was asking us the audience, like, where are our Dawa efforts? And we believe Islam is the correct way. But where are our efforts in spreading Islam? What are we focused on doing, we are focused on buying houses and cars and saving up our money so that we can have that ideal vacation to Disney or
something. This is what we want. This is where our money is, this is where our energy is. And no matter how much money we have, we think we have less. So we are asking for discounts and charities instead of being the contributors.
This is our sad state. So Allah sent every messenger speaking the language of his people, why?
Why for effective communication? Because if people speak different languages, communication is not possible. And you know what? You could still communicate somehow, if people speak different languages, but there's a lot of misunderstanding, a lot of misunderstanding.
So the reason why Allah sent the messenger speaking language of the people so that people could understand the message. Now, okay, Arabic is not our language, but at least Allah subhanaw taala has preserved the language of the Quran has made the Quran easy to understand has made the Quran short, you know, it's not like the Bible so lengthy that it's difficult to go through that see that ocean. Go ahead, I learned in one of my classes at school that less than 10% of our communication is actually based on verbal communication. But the thing is, even with body language, there are so many different body languages in one country it means something in another country means something else.
Like for example, this it means like good job or in some countries, it means like zero or no in others and it means money in some so like one symbol and it means so many things. So when Allah subhanaw taala sent messenger
As the messenger was familiar with the language, the culture of the people why so that communication would be clear the message would be effectively communicated. But still, still there were people who did not understand for you little, Allahu Masha. Allah sent Australians whoever He will, where he may Yeshua and He guides whom He wills. And this is also according to His law of guidance. Well, who Allah Aziz or Hakeem and He is Exalted in Might the wise, you see, one excuse that people make, oh, I don't understand. If you want to understand, you will definitely understand.
Because there are people who understand really well yet they don't accept. So at the end of the day, it's not about whether you understand something 100% or not, it's about how badly you want it. If you want it, you'll get it, even if it's very difficult, and if you don't want it could be something very simple for you, but you're not going to get it. What occurred Elisa Lam Mousavi Aya Tina now the example of Musa alayhis salam is given certainly we sent moosari Sena with our signs miracles that he showed to his people. And Allah subhanaw taala said to him on that a hostage omocha take your people out Mina Lumet, Illa Nora from the darkness into the light, bring your people out from
darkness into the light. So what does this show every Prophet was sent for this purpose? Mohammed Salah Hassan was sent for this purpose Musa this and I was sent for this purpose, every messenger was sent for this mission, take people out of their state of misery, and destitution. Bring them to victory to glory to success. Bring them out of darkness into light, whether kid home and remind them be a yam Allah, with the days of Allah. What does it mean by this days of Allah a yam is a Florida Yom Yom. This is a term that you will come across in the Quran, a yam Allah, it basically refers to major historical events, the memorable days you can say days which cannot be forgotten. Why? Because
Allah subhanaw taala caused certain things to occur on those days, major changes,
major changes, so for example, certain nations they were destroyed. So for instance, the day when fit our own was destroyed the time when his civilization came to an end and Bunny is sloth you were freed. That is what a humbled law. It's a major historical event that can never be forgotten. I mean, to this day, it is remembered by people who believe in religion and also by people who don't believe in religion. Right? So remind people of a yam Allah, remind them of the days when they received when son received Allah's blessings, and some received his punishment. When great trials descended on people, great tests descended on people, remind them of history, make them reflect on
history, so that they can learn a lesson in the field. Adicolor is indeed in that assuredly signs Nikoli. So bear in Chicago, not for everyone. But for every suburb and Shaku who will sub bar the one who does a lot of sub, the one who does a lot of sub,
in every situation, in difficult times, and an easy times in times of hardship, and in times of ease, times of sickness and times of health and Shaco, the one who's grateful when when he gets something when he wins
when he feels good. Generally, we're not grateful that these times unfortunately, because when we have everything we want, we forget Allah shellcode is one who remembers Allah in good times and in bad times,
in every situation in every circumstance, because you always have a reason to be grateful. No matter how difficult the situation is, you still have a reason to be grateful. Because it could have been much worse. And even though it is really bad and there is no doubt about the situation being bad. Still, you're enjoying Allah's blessings, even if they may be very few before your eyes, but still there are blessings in your life. So be grateful for those.
Now Musa alayhis salam, he will stall to bring his people out of darkness into light which people are these, the Bani Israel? Because in the next idea, we learned that he addresses his comb and who was his crown, the Bani Israel. Now the Bani Israel they were rescued from the tyranny of their own. But still Allah says they were in darkness.
Remember, external darkness and internal darkness. They were taken out of darkness such that there was no tyranny around no oppression.
around them, no ship being committed around them. But there was darkness where in the hearts
they needed light. So for that the heart needs to be moved. The heart needs to be woken up. And how will the heart be woken up by reminding the person of history of major things that happened in his life? Remember when you were suffering and Allah saved you. Remember when Allah gave you this blessing, and that is what you did? Make them feel grateful, because gratitude wakes your heart up patience, that is also helpful. What if caller Musala call me and remember when Musa alayhis salam said to his people, meaning the Bani Israel What did he say to them with Kuru near Matala, here Aleikum. Remember the blessing of Allah on you? My people remember Allah's favor on you.
He's reminding them off a yam over here. Which favor is and Jericho when he saved you when Allah rescued you, men ally for our own from the people of our own. Why did he have to save you from them? Because he assumed we're gonna come Sue and they were afflicting on you. Evil torture. terrible pain, terrible torture. Notice the word he assumes gonna come. We did this word a long time ago, seen while meme?
Sama till evil is when camels go in order to graze somewhere. I imagine if animals are attacking a place, okay. And they're going to eat from the grass and the leaves in the trees. What are they going to leave? What are they going to spare?
What are they going to spare? I remember once I saw the seen these three baby goats. Or maybe it was too I don't remember. They just came into this garden. And there were flowers on the sides. And you could imagine the disaster that they caused literally within a few moments, disaster. absolute disaster. And the poor gardener was so worked up because his effort was colorless. You know it was finished by these baby goats. So imagine when camels are let loose to graze on a piece of land, what are they going to spare? This is how fit our own was oppressing the bunny is Sara Elizabeth how he was torturing them. He spared nothing. He spared nothing. He physically abused them emotionally
abused them mentally abused them financially. In every way he tortured them. Why? He just wanted to finish them. He wanted to finish them completely. And in order to finish them in order to eradicate them. What plan did he come up with? Were you the behind the Abra accom. They were slaughtering your sons. They were killing your children, targeting your children going in the homes, finding baby boys and slaughtering them. Why?
What was the reason? Because he wanted to eliminate the Bani Israel. And he wanted to show that he was the boss he could do anything to them. Basically, they were weak before him and he wanted to torture them. He wanted to make them feel hurt. Because you see, when you lose adults, yes, it is hurtful. But when a child is lost when a baby is killed, when children are targeted, what does that show? Imagine the state of the parents imagine the state of the mother imagine the state of the family.
It was very heartbreaking for the Bani Israel to see very heartbreaking to see their own sons being killed before their eyes. You will you love they're gonna open up where's the humanism come they were keeping your women alive, sparing them?
Because what are they going to do with the Vatican calm and in that or you all was Bella on a great trial Mira Begum Alim from your Lord and this trial was our lien It was great.
Just look at this. Wolfie there Ali Khan Bella O'Meara become Eileen fit her own was torturing you, he was killing your children. And by letting that happen, Allah was testing you.
Allah was trying you. You were just looking at fit our own thinking how evil he is. Without realizing that Allah put you in that test, to see whether you wake up or not. To see what you say, to see what you do to see how you react, whether you do sub or not. Whether you do chakra or not.
Remember every trial in life, yes, it happens at the hands of others. We suffer at the hands of people, but who is allowing that to have
happen Allah. Why for a reason?
Sometimes we need to be woken up from our state of heedlessness.
And unfortunately, sometimes we're so deep in our sleep that we don't wake up until something really disastrous happens.
And likewise, the Bani Israel this had to take place for them to wake up.
This had to take place for them to wake up. Why is is the one who takes a lesson from the examples of others from the lives of others. So Musar ism is reminding the Bani Israel remember what happened. Remember how Allah saved you remember how he rescued you? What are you doing now? Because this is when they were freed from for their own. They had crossed the sea. They were in the desert in the wilderness, so Musa Sam is advising them. In the book of Deuteronomy, we learned that Musa SNM, he advised his people towards the end of his life, because basically when the Bani Israel refused to enter the city, it was said that they're not going to enter for 40 years. And Musa Islam
died in that period. But before he passed away, he advised his people. And there are many sermon type speeches that he gave to his people that are recorded in Deuteronomy, in which he reminds them of Allah's power of how he saved them. And just a few verses, for example, chapter 420, it is said, But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnaces of Egypt, to make you His people of inheritance. Next chapter eight, verse 14, it says, your heart be lifted up and you remember not the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, he brought you out, and you don't even remember him. So he's admonishing them, he saved you, and you don't even
thank him. And at the end of many statements, that is who brought you out of the land of Egypt from the house of bondage. In chapter 2418, it says, Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and the Lord your God delivered you from there. Therefore, I command you to do this thing, meaning you follow these commands that I'm giving you because God saved you. So you better show gratitude to him by following these commands. Chapter 29, verse two, it says, And Moses called all Israel and said to them, you have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his whole land, the great temptations which your eyes have seen,
those mighty signs and wonders, and the Lord has not given you a heart to understand and eyes to see, and ears that may hear unto this present day. Meaning you saw all that happened yet you haven't taken a lesson. Your eyes don't see, your ears don't hear your hearts don't understand.
So the bunny is slightly ill Allah subhanaw taala, almost artisanal, remind them of their previous days of a Yemen law so that they can wake up, they can be grateful. They can stop complaining, because what was the attitude of the Bani Israel once they were in the desert, constantly complaining, we don't want this food. We don't want that food. We want cucumbers and onions and garlic and lentils and so on and so forth. They're told enter the city to say, Oh, we're not going We're sitting right here. constantly complaining, they're told slaughter a cow, they come up with so many excuses. So Musar listen, I'm just told remind them of history. Remind them Allah saved you.
What are you doing? What are you doing right now? You think that he doesn't have the power to put you in a similar situation like that again?
So With what confidence do you disobey Him? What is the SNR of Bukom? And remember when your Lord proclaimed when he announced, meaning this is relevant to all people? This is not just for the Bani Israel, it is for all people, because an announcement is what? For public notification for the public to know not just a certain group of people, but for everyone. So what is the ln or a book of your Lord announced? He proclaimed, he let it be known. That let in shock of Tom surely if you are grateful, let us see the Netcom Surely I will definitely increase you. If you're grateful for the blessings that I've given you. I will definitely increase you and favors I will give you more when I
think of Octone but if you deny in other Bella Hadid indeed My punishment is severe.
You see, sugar leads to increase gratitude leads to more
it leads to increase it leads to improvement and ingratitude leads to decrease that leads to suffering. It leads to failure.
So what's the key to success that we are being
given here, anytime when you're suffering, start being grateful. Start saying 100 Allah, anytime you're suffering, things are tough. Just start thanking Allah even more, more and more for the things that you have for the blessings that you're enjoying. And Allah will increase your blessings for you. In a hadith we don't I mentioned this hadith to you earlier as well, that when a person is sick, Allah sends two angels to him to watch what that person says. When the angels return, Allah asks them what was my servants saying to those who came to see him. And the angels say, he praised you, and he was grateful to you. But the angels can only say this about a person was actually
grateful in that time of sickness, and who was praising Allah at the time of hardship. So Allah says, if I cure my servant, then I shall replace his blood with better blood and his flesh with better flesh. And I will also forgive him.
Because he was grateful, I will increase him. Let in Shackleton, let us see the nickel. But what happens when we're sick?
We have to show that we're really hurting so people feel pity on us.
Right? We have to really make that expression. I'm so miserable and hurting so much. Where's the hammer all the pain is gone. But you have to pretend that like as if it's there, because you have to show that you're sick. People coming to see you, you better show them that you're sick. So talk about problems that don't even exist. Talk about pain that is now gone. Complain about Allah subhanaw taala this is basically complaining about Allah. But what do we learn to shaker of Allah at that time, so that Allah who will increase your blessings, be grateful that are hamdulillah your body is still good in certain places. 100 Allah and Allah who will if cure is decreed for you, Allah
will increase you in your health. What color Musa and Musa listen, I'm sad he made it clear to his people in tech forum. If you disbelieve Antonio woman fill up the gym eon and whoever that is on the earth altogether. you disbelieve you are ungrateful, and everybody on the earth is ungrateful for in the lava lava, Nian Hamid and indeed Allah surely Richard praiseworthy, he doesn't need you.
He doesn't need you.
If you show gratitude, it's only for your own good. And if you show ingratitude, what harm Are you going to cause Allah? Nothing?
You cannot cause any loss to him. So you need Allah. He doesn't need you. Does Allah need you to enter Jannah? Does Allah need you to be saved from the punishment of the grave? Does Allah need you to live a good happy life? Does Allah need you to have to enjoy a lot of blessings? No, it doesn't affect him.
Not at all. But if you are grateful, then you are grateful for your own good, you are benefiting yourself. And if you are ungrateful, you are only destroying yourself you cannot cause any harm to Allah. In her these we learned the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Allah says all my servants, if the first and the last among you, the men and jinn among you had the heart of the most pious and righteous men among you, that will not increase my kingdom in the least. All my servants, if the first and the last among you, men and jinn among you had the heart of the most wicked man among you, that will not decrease my kingdom in the least. If we obey him a little bit more worship Him, that
doesn't increase his honor.
If we reject Him, show ingratitude, that doesn't decrease his honor. So basically, our words, our actions don't have any effect on Allah subhanaw taala. If they have any effect, they have all that effect on
us. We gain or we lose, we win or we suffer because of what we say because of what we feel because of what we do. We are the first ones to benefit and we are the first ones to suffer. When we do something good or we do something bad. We will bear the consequences. No other person will. And it doesn't cause any harm or gain to Allah subhanaw taala because he is learning who is Eleni the one who was rich, who was above need, he doesn't need us. So if everyone is ungrateful, doesn't affect Allah at all, because he is only he is Hamid, who is Hamid, the one who is praiseworthy in all states, whether someone praises him or not. So what's the lesson then? Be grateful. Why?
For your own sake, for your own
Good for your own self. Because if you're grateful, you gain Allah has nothing to lose.
And if you don't show gratitude then you have to suffer. Allah has nothing to lose. You lose or you gain it's up to you what you want to get or you want to lose presentation of desire
