We'll begin from Iowa number nine LM yet DICOM. Has it not reached you? What? Never Oh, the news of Alladhina melancholy calm those people who were there before you? Are you not familiar with the nation's that fast before you, if you do not know, then you should know. And when you know, then you should reflect on their state so that you can take a lesson. Take a lesson from their lives from their fate, realize the power of Allah subhana wa Tada and the fact that Allah is no need of mankind, rather people need Allah. And Allah has no need of people who were the people of the past, call me know him, the people of New Wildin and the people of Earth with a mood and the people of the
moon, all of these nations, their stories are mentioned in the Quran repeatedly. One Lavina embody him, and there were also those who came after them, meaning there were also many nations that came after them. If you think about it, the people of New Alayhis Salam, who are they the Children of Adam or his son remember there were only 1000 years between other Melissa and no Harley Sam. So it was about you can say 10 generations maximum. Right. So they were the children of Adam or a cena after no Harley salon when the storm came when the flood came destroyed the disbelievers who remained who remained it was the believers. And this is a reason why a new Hyundai Sonata is known
as Adam masani. The second Adam and know how to cinema was a prophet. So we understand that his children were who the children of the Prophet, right. Likewise, from their, you know, generations later on, when the people started doing shit again, Allah subhanaw taala sent messengers. And when the people disbelieved what happened, they were destroyed, but the believers remained. So the nations that came after who were they, the children of the prophets, the children of the righteous, so all of these nations, Allah asks us, do you not know about them, where they're not human beings just like you were they're not children of the prophets of the righteous people. And those after
them also meaning so many nations, Lamia, NAMA, whom in Allah None knows them except Allah. No one knows about their names, their time of existence, the place where they lived, what evils they committed, what habits they had, what good they had, what worldly progress they made, their civilization knows about them, except Allah subhanaw taala. You see, there are many nations of the past, who was mentioned, you know, we find in history books, or you could say religious scriptures. So for example, certain people are mentioned in the Bible, certain others are mentioned in the Quran. And then there are other nations who were discovered how by when historians excavated certain
places, then their remains were discovered to those nations, they came to be known. But at the same time, there are so many people who are lost in history. Last in history, their names are not known, their time of existence is not known. Laya Allah whom Illa Allah now knows them, but Allah, you know, it's like, at certain places, sometimes a body is discovered in the remains a scientist say all these are 1000s and 1000s of years old. You wonder, Where did this person come from? Where did he live? What community does he belong to? You wonder about these things, but you can't tell everything, certain features, because of them, it can be identify that okay, this person was from
this era from this place, the clothed style, this the body, the bones, this is what they showed the teeth, this is what they show. But again, the precise details, they're not known. And there are so many other nations that are completely lost in history, Laya nama whom Illa Allah, because no physical trace remains on this earth of those people. But it is amazing how people do so many things in order to be remembered, in order to be known, whether it is at an individual level or at a national level. I mean, some people they do the most craziest things, they will grow their nails until they are long and hideous, even so that they cannot move their fingers. Why so that their name
can be entered in a particular record? Right? People will put their lives in danger just so that they can be remembered and known as so and so and so and so, nations, they establish their power. Why in order to be known in order to be remembered, but what do we learn from here lejana him in the law, so many people they have no value so many nations no value that they're not even known today. They're not even known today. I mean, think about further on what kind of oppression he inflicted on Bani Israel. But even today, what exactly his name was, who was he was he Ramsay's a second or
Have someone else who was it? You can't say for sure who he was. Right. And look at our his body is carried around from one place to the other. I mean, is this honor? Is this honor no Laya living room in the La Jolla at home Russolo home built by Hina. All of those people what happened? Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs. Allah sent guidance to them through who through his prophets. And when the Prophet scam they conveyed the message. They also gave proof so that it would be easier for people to accept the messenger. So the prophets gave proofs evidences. But what was the reaction of the people in general throughout history followed do so they returned? Who? The
people when they heard the prophets, they returned, the people returned, because that is to return idea whom their hands feet of why he him into their mouths. The people on hearing the call of the messengers on hearing the message of the prophets, what did they do? They put their hands on their faces? Why? When is it that you put your hand on your face?
When you're shocked? You're like, Oh, my God, what is he saying? Like utter disbelief? You cannot fathom as to why a person is saying, you know, he doesn't make any sense. What is he talking about? So the people were literally shocked at the call of the messengers wasn't really that shocking? Was it really that surprising? What is it that the messengers conveyed mainly believe in Allah worship Him, and there's a day of judgment that's coming after your death, there's a day of judgment that's coming, so better prepare for that afterlife. But the people found that so shocking, that in disbelief, they put their hands on their faces. Why? Because the lies that they had been surrounded
with, were so different. What they thought the reality was, was so different. And what the prophets told him seemed so crazy to them seemed so different to them, that they couldn't believe their ears. They were surprised they were shocked. Even today, you know, when someone is told that I believe in the hereafter, I believe in God, they're like, seriously, you believe in God. After knowing the fact of evolution, you believe in God, you believe that Adam existed, you believe that there's a day of judgment, there's afterlife, that religion is true. They're shocked. And many people who the more they advance in the worldly knowledge, what happens they find faith, religion even more shocking.
And this is not a new reaction. Allah subhanaw taala is telling us this reaction of primitive people so long ago, this is how the people reacted to the call to the message of the prophets of Allah. Ultimately, think about it. When is it that you put your hand on your face?
When you want to silence somebody, you know, when somebody is talking away, and you want them to be quiet? What do you do? do is put your finger on your lips, you remember your teacher doing that? In class, then when you were talking away, chattering away, you just saw that one finger on the lips, and you knew that that meant Be quiet. So likewise, the people, this is what they did in order to silence the prophets. Also, when a person is angry, when a person is angry, furious, what does he do? Bites their fingers, their nails in particular. So in rage in fury in frustration, this is what the people did. Basically, the message is that they weren't too happy to hear the prophets. They
weren't too pleased. When they heard the call to hate when they received the news of the hereafter. They were not willing to listen, they were not willing to accept what call and they said in Mecca fauna indeed we have disbelieved. Bhima autoseal Tombi in that what you have been sent with this app to the messengers on their basis that we disbelieve in what you have said, we disbelieve in what you have brought, we don't believe you not even one bit. What in that and indeed we Luffy Shatkin surely in doubt, we are in doubt mimma about that which that their own Anna you call us. In a you do it Marieb Marie one that makes restless, meaning whatever you're calling us to. We are in doubt about
it. And what kind of doubt a doubt that's making us very uncomfortable, very restless, you've taken our piece away. You've basically created disunity in our people. You have divided the nation. You have separated brother from brother, mother from son, and this is what happened right when the Prophet salallahu Salam came out so when certain so how to believe and their families disbelief, what happened? Families were divided friends were separated. So they said we are very uncomfortable because of this call that you're making.
In other words, I said, stop so that we can live in peace. Stop so that we can live comfortably, this religion, this Quran, this message, it's really making our life miserable. So be quiet. Don't we hear these words today also? What is it that many people want that religion should not be mentioned, religion should not be spoken off God, the name of God, the name of Allah subhanaw taala should not be mentioned, Quran should not be brought up. Why? Because as soon as it will be mentioned, we will be uncomfortable. The mention of religion makes us uncomfortable to be quiet, don't talk about it. And you will notice that many times there are people who are good friends. And
one person may be very religious, but the moment they start talking about religion, the other drifts away.
The other drifts away. The other says, You know what, I'm busy, I have this to do I have that to do, he starts to avoid his friend. Why? Because he doesn't want anything to do with religion. And this is a reaction that the prophets faced also. But the thing is that when something is important, it is essential. It is important, it is essential. And the other individual is not interested in it. Such a reaction in which you see that the other person is not interested. Do you just be quiet? No. Never. This morning, I was trying to give breakfast to my children and they weren't interested. You know, they said no. And they ran away. And they ran away again. I didn't say fine, don't eat because
I know if they don't eat what's going to happen. I'm going to face a very difficult child the whole day. Why? Because they're hungry. So just because someone is not interested in something good. You don't become quiet. If one approach doesn't work, you try another approach. And this is why the prophets were so persistent that despite the rejection they face despite the opposition they faced, they did not give up. They responded when the people raised their doubts. When they questioned, the prophets answered. Paulette Russo, to whom their Messengers said, Now you may notice all that all it literally means she said, Why is she being used for the profits because the word versal is a plural.
Okay, and remember, there are two kinds of plurals. One is sound plural. John Salem, and the other is broken plural. Gemma Mircosoft. Okay, sound pluralist, that plural, that is made by adding well known at the end, for example, men, what's the plural mean on Muslim? What's the poor, mostly moon. And these poles are always easy to remember. All right, you know what I'm talking about on your test when you have to write the singular forms of certain words and you see a well known you're like easy, just remove the well known just remove the unknown and you have the singular form. This is Gemma Salim. The other kind of ploy this jammer mocha sub the broken floor Liza called broken
because the singular word it breaks up. It doesn't remain sound anymore. So for example, Rasul Rasul is the singular form. What's the plural? Russell the word completely broke up. Where did the wild go? Where did the fat handle Rago it got changed. Right. So broken plural. Now for broken plural for a jumper mucosa. Many times remember many times, not always, many times. The pronoun that is used for it is feminine.
Okay, the pronoun that is used for it is feminine.
Not because the noun itself is feminine. But this is a rule of the language. That when you're referring to a broken plural, you will use a feminine pronoun in order to refer to it. So Arlette Russolo home Rasul is
is
feminine how the prophets know there were men. The word itself why? Because it is a broken flora. So Allah Russolo home their messenger said, I think NaVi chakra
is fee in Allah Allah shukan. Doubt. Meaning seriously, you doubt Allah you doubt his existence? Is it something to have doubt over? Do you realize who Allah is? He is far clearer, the originator the one who began what a summer worth one of the heavens in the earth. He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. He is the one because of warmth the sky exists and the Earth exists in you exist in your mom exists in your dad exists. Foul Play this summer what you will owe. In other words, where did you come from? If you don't believe in Him, then where did you come from? Do you doubt your existence? No. You don't doubt your own existence. Then how can you do
out the cause of your existence, the one who brought you and everything into existence, fabulous somehow it will help you to come. He calls you he is inviting you, Leo Fila calm so that he can forgive you. He is calling you so that he can forgive you. Because you see human beings by nature. Who are they help our own, they're sinful, they make mistakes. Even, you know a person who was far from religion, far from religion, there will be times when they will feel guilty,
when they will feel bad when they will feel regret over what they have said over what they have done. Right? Every person, regardless of what religion they are, from, what background they have, there are times in their lives when they feel horrible, over what they've done the mistake that they have made.
Now, different religions that people have or philosophies of life that they have, you know, they have different ways of dealing with their mistakes. If a mistake has happened, this is what you do. If a mistake has happened, this is how you move on. So for example, in certain religions, you have to go you know, to a particular place and go in a confession box, or I don't know what it is, and you confess, you confess before who a human being that you have committed a sin, that you have committed a mistake.
Other people they think if you've made a mistake, nobody knows. Forget about it.
Forget about it, just enjoy the rest of your life, whatever has happened has happened, move on from it, forget it. But any person who has some reason he knows that if I have made a mistake, then I can just forget it. And this is why it haunts them for the rest of their lives. Likewise, it doesn't make sense that why should I have to go before a human being and tell him about what I've done? I don't want any person to know because they're gonna start judging me.
Right? But what do I see that a here we learn yet to come? Allah is calling you to forgive you. He made you he gave you everything you have. He loves you. And if you've made a mistake, go to him and say sorry, and he will forgive you. Because, well may I feel we don't know. But Allah Allah, Who can forgive sins, but Allah, no one can only unlock and forgive sense. So you're the ruku Leo Florida calm minzu become where you are hero calm, and he's so generous that he is deferring you he's delaying you Illa agilely Musa until a specified time? And what is that time, the time of your death that He has given you, you know your life to live in this earth? Illa Edgerly Musa, and he's testing
you as to what you do Aalu this such a simple clear message the prophets gave to their nations. What was the reaction? Follow? They said in anthem in Bashara myth, Luna, you are nothing but men, but human beings just like us, because they couldn't really refute the profits, right? They couldn't really defeat them an argument. So what excuse did they come up with? Oh, you're only a human being. They belittled the profits by saying you're only a human beings, there's nothing special about you. So why should we listen to you? Now if you think about it, did the prophets ever claimed that they were not human?
Any prophet of Allah? Did he ever claimed that he was not human? That he had some superpowers? No. Even if a messenger of Allah performed a miracle, like for example, at Risa and s&m he performed amazing miracles. What did he say? I do this how we eat nila, with the permission of Allah. The prophets of Allah never, ever showed to people, that there were some, you know, something else, not a human being. They always short their humanity because they were human beings. But there are people they objected in anthem in collaboration with Luna and they said to the donor, you only want until so doona that you stop us slighted, that you prevent us unmad from that which kind of Yabu about
honor our forefathers used to worship, meaning all you want is that you want to stop us from the worship of our gods, that our forefathers have always been worshipping
to an abbess autonomo being so bring to us is so Tron that is moving so far meaning and evidence and authority approved that is more been clear. Meaning we want to see something more convincing. We can't take your word just like that because you're just a human being. We want something more convincing. So show us a bigger proof. A greater proof. Call it living Russolo home. What was the response of the messengers? They said in no ill by shadow myth, Lacan. No, not no way except Buchon men literally
Unlike you, of course we are human beings. We never said we were not human we were angels or we were something else. Of course we're human beings myth locum like you. Now after seeing this statement of the Quran, who can doubt who can say that the Prophet of Allah was not a human being?
This is clear the prophets of Allah we're all human beings in national Illa Bashara myth Lacan
What are kin Allah, but the only difference is that Allah Yamano he shows favor, Isla Manisha on whomsoever he will mean everybody from His servants. The only difference is that Allah has shown favor to us and what is that favor? The favor the blessing the gift of Prophethood the gift of knowledge that he has given that he has given you one night me a shout woman everybody warm I can I'm gonna and with regards to what you said that brings us something more convincing it is not possible for us to come that we bring you this will turn and with any evidence elaborate Nila except with the permission of Allah, because we are human beings we are His servants we have been sent by
him. We can't show you a miracle. From our own accord it will only be possible if Allah sends it while Allah He fully autoworker me known and upon Allah, let the believers rely meaning we rely upon him, our Lord, who has sent us when we believe in and we hope and expect that someday things will change, they will improve. Now, in all of these verses, what do we see that this is how generally every prophet conveyed the message. And this is the reaction that he faced generally all the prophets, whether it was Musa SNM, recited, sunnah Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam, and before them prophethood earnest and I'm sorry, every prophet of Allah, whether we know him, or we don't know
him, this is what typically happened. That the people they had no excuse, no reason to reject the prophets. The one thing they said was what your human being, you're a human being. So bring us something more convincing. This doesn't convince us bring us something more convincing. Remember when Musa doesn't want to fit our own? What did fit our own say? What did he say? That if you have brought some proof, then show it to us. Masada said I'm didn't go into the court and first thing, you know, through the staff on the ground so that it would turn into a snake No, first of all, most artists and I'm spoke to federal,
okay, for all and said, We're not going to aalameen Who is this Lord of the worlds that you're talking about? Who has sent you and will say this and I've explained to him who Allah was. And then back and forth, back and forth until for Allen said, Show us some proof Musa this and I'm sure to improve for only one got scared from that snake he ran away. But then what happened? He didn't accept it. He said, We will compete with you. And he sent for all of his magicians and they came and you know what happened? And Mossad is Saddam, he defeated them. But again, did frown believe? No, he didn't.
So the prophets, they showed the miracles they gave the proofs. So was it that the truth was not made clear to people?
Was it that the reality was not made clear to people, it was made evident, it was made very clear. But unfortunately, people choose to believe in what they like. They believe in what they like. Not because it is true, not because it is based on facts, but because it suits their desires. It suits their lifestyle. It's more supportive of them. This is why they believe in it. Now, it's amazing how you see this in general, and even these days. I mean, the facts are not hidden. They're not unknown, but the oppression that's going on all over the world. But yet you find it amazing that how is it that people can support oppressive ways? How do they not see the facts? Do they not know them? Of
course they know them. But why is it that they turn away from it? Why? Because they don't want to accept it. They like to believe in that which suits them in that which will support them. But unfortunately, Muslims are also culprits of this, that when Zoom is going on and we have the power to prevent it. We will not even open our eyes. Why? Because we know if we take any kind of action, it's going to come against us. So we want to protect ourselves we like to ignore reality, just because reality does not suit us. And this is the height of pride.
In these verses, you can see that by the responses that the prophets of Allah gave to their people, the character and the focus that the prophets had. So like in
The previous version, verse 10, the people couldn't come up with a good argument against the proofs that the prophets brought. So they focused on something completely irrelevant. The fact that the prophets were humans. And they asked for signs because they just they needed an excuse. They wanted some time to wait for the response. The prophets they claimed, you know, they're like, We never claim to be anything but humans, right, they accept the fact that they are humans, they didn't like think of themselves as something greater than ever thought of their mission is something to be proud of. Right. And again, they brought their focus back to Allah subhanaw taala. They're like, okay, you
know what, fine, you want science, I can only give it to you by the mercy of Allah. So they brought it right back to their main focus that it is through Allah that we have whatever we do, and many times it happens that you're discussing something with someone and they go off track, right. So for example, you're talking to them about something in the Quran, and they start attacking you for your Quran recitation, for example. Or that you also listen to music once upon a time, or that you also did something five years ago, they try to go off track. And this is actually a very big attack of shaitan. It's very important that you stay focused, you stay focused, and this is what we learn from
the data of the prophets.
I remember I was reading something online once and somebody was writing that religion is just a thing of the past. We're in the 21st century, like it's time to advance. But then now you look at these verses, and then people, they also want to stay away from religion. And they were like, No, this isn't right. They just want to follow their desires, and you do the same thing. And they said, You are only preventing us from the ways of our forefathers, meaning from our culture, from our tradition, this is what you're preventing us from. So this is not a new reaction. Now, what's amazing over here is that the prophets of Allah, they did not feel ashamed in acknowledging their
reality. The people said, or your human being, and yeah, we oh, yeah, we are. And it's possible, somebody says to you, oh, you suffer from this problem. And you have that bad habit? Yeah, I'm a human being, I'm imperfect. I make mistakes. I'm not perfect in any way. It's very, very important to admit to acknowledge your shortcomings, it doesn't mean that you're going to publicize them, but you will admit them, you acknowledge them.
And it's very important to not pretend that you are perfect, because we are not perfect. We do make mistakes, we do error, we do have a lot of, you know, mistakes and our record, accept it, acknowledge it. This is part of being human. And this is part of being a good servant of Allah. Because you don't know how these we learned that the believer is necessary. One who forgets a lot, one who forgets a lot. But at the same time, he's also one who repents to Allah a lot, he makes mistakes, and he also repents to Allah a lot. So this is a quality of a good slave of Allah. He acknowledges his imperfection, and he turns to Allah seeking His forgiveness, seeking His help. And
this is servitude. To the prophets had no problem accepting their reality. Well, more than they said, and what is for us meaning why should we not alert that our killer and Allah that we do not trust upon Allah? Meaning what reason do we have for not relying upon Allah? Yes, things are getting tough, the opposition is increasing, the oppression has also intensified. Only a few people have believed in the prophets. And what is it that the prophets say well, Allah, Allah, he followed our Khalil, meno, and Allah should the believers rely and they said, why should we not rely upon Allah? What God had ALLAH SubhanA wa, he has guided us to our ways, so we'll pull off Saudi. Allah is the
One who guided us to this way. And yes, now that we're facing problems, we're facing difficulties. We rely on him for solutions for answers, for improvement. Remember, in life whenever there is any difficulty, any test, remember that Allah put two in that situation in that test. And he has the ability to make you survive, to guide you through that difficulty. But it's only possible if you turn to Him, rely on him, ask him for help. You're just like they say if Allah has brought you to it, he will take you through it, he will make you go through it also. But rely on him. depend on him seek help from him. So when man and I learn at a worker and Allah, what God had ALLAH SubhanA he is
the one who has guided us, He is the one who has told us to do this. So if problems are coming, only he can bring solutions. One and us be run and look at the words of the prophets and surely we will definitely be patient. I
They to mourn over that which you inflict on us, you give other to us. Who are they saying this to the disbelievers? Are they to mana from other what is other hurt, meaning, whatever you are making us suffer or people, you are hurting us physically abusing us socially, you know in different ways you are opposing us, we are definitely going to be patient over that. And we're not relying on ourselves for that one Allah hopefully at our current mood, our ketone, again on Allah should those rely rely upon, we rely upon him. But our job is to be patient.
Look at the firm determination and resolve of the prophets that we will definitely be patient. Think about it, if we are ever going through some difficulty, any kind of problem are some difficult tasks, some difficult work,
what is the most difficult thing to do sub
sub, it's the most difficult thing to do.
But it is that one thing you need, if you want to survive.
And if you want to be successful, life is difficult, it is tough. And the difficult situations in life are many times beyond you, you have no control over them.
So for example, in a certain, you know, situation, you may have a lot of different things to do a lot of responsibilities that you cannot get away from,
you cannot avoid there's no other alternative, you have to deal with it, nobody else will do it for you.
Like for example, when a woman is pregnant, she's giving birth, can her husband share the pain?
Can her mother take half of the pain? No, who can only go through that pain only she can
right? Now, what is that one source of strength that she needs sub
remembering that this will pass this will be over hopefully this will not kill me, right this is Saba and saying only that which is appropriate, saying only that which Allah subhanaw taala will be pleased with not any words of frustration and anger, nothing like that sub.
So when a person does sub in difficult situations that he cannot avoid, when he does sub then what happens though what happens he can survive.
And when he will survive at least inshallah he will have some reward.
And if a person does not do sub, then a he's miserable inside.
Though work is not getting any less, the pain is not getting any less, it's there, it's present. But the greater losses that he's losing reward also.
So look at the resolve of the profits well enough to be run, we will be patient, we will be patient. And this means we will not give up. We will not give up we will be determined and we will tolerate we will bear everything that comes our way.
And you know, whatever you tell yourself that is what you start believing in. And that is what you start doing. So whenever things are getting tough, tell yourself Allah Now spit on while on us be run.
The only way you can be patient over situation is when you accept it. Very true. The only way that you can be patient or situation is when you have accepted it. When you're not in denial. When you've accepted it, yes, this is my responsibility. Now I have to deal with it. I cannot avoid it. This is part of the package. And when you've accepted it themselves, it becomes easy. And when you do so other than going through that difficulty becomes easy.
Right? There are stories that you hear off, you know, women screaming and screaming and for example, through their labor. But does that screaming help? Does it you could scream like crazy and curse your father and curse your mother and curse your husband and curse your children but it's not going to reduce the pain. You're only going to look crazy,
right? Sometimes it's amazing. If you hear stories from nurses, the kinds of things they will tell you, it's amazing and how they are getting upset with people who are not being patient. So when a person does not observed patients he looks basically
you know, like he's out of his mind. So sovereign is expected of every sober person. Okay.
And when it's for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. In Allah's way, then it's also a source of immense reward. great reward. Recitation of these
