Taleem al Quran 2012 – P14 136C Tafsir Al-Nahl 45-50

Amina, does he feel secure who Alladhina those people who mcaro say, who have planned who plot a say at evil things? Those people who plot evil things, and obviously these plots were against to the Prophet salallahu Salam in order to harm him. Allah subhanaw taala says, Do these people feel secure, um that your Sefa he can cause to swallow Yuxi from Hassan II can cause it to swallow, Allah, Allah may Allah can cause to swallow be him with them above the Earth, meaning he can cause the earth to swallow them. Because this earth belongs to who? Allah subhanaw taala

it is obedient to Allah subhana wa Tada. So if Allah commands the earth cave in from a certain place,

or that there should be a huge crater, and a huge earthquake, and the earth cracks, and as a result, people who are walking on it and once lived upon and who are dancing and having fun on it, they're swallowed in by the Earth, does it not happen?

It happens.

So how do they feel secure while they're walking on Allah's Earth? Allah has land and they have the courage to plot against the Messenger of Allah.

They have the courage to speak against Allah, to reject the one whom Allah has sent. How do they feel so secure?

Allah can finish them in an instant as if Allah will be him will help. Oh yeah, to whom Allah either up or the punishment can come to them mean hate to lash Arun, from where they cannot even perceive, meaning it can come so suddenly, that a few seconds before, they never imagined in their wildest dreams that something like that could have happened.

Or that can come to them from where they cannot even imagine, because they never imagined it. This is why they never did anything to protect themselves, to keep themselves safe in case something like that happens. So in other words, they cannot escape them. They cannot save themselves at that time. So those who reject the Prophet salallahu Salam, those who doubt what Allah has sent there are being questioned that what do you think you're doing? Against which power against which God? Are you planning? Do you even realize? Who are you opposing? Who are you rejecting? Do you even think about that? What has made you so fearless? Do you not realize that anything can happen to you at any time?

Think about it. Heart attack, how does that happen? A stroke. How does that happen? Within a few seconds, sometimes, you know, a burn, a big burn. It can happen within a few seconds.

I was watching this video recently of this man was working at this gas station. And he climbs up this you know, big tanker that's full of gas, okay? And he goes up and as soon as he takes out his phone or something to have some light so that he can open and what happened instantly. He got fired.

He got fired that man.

Now did he ever expected that something like this can happen? No. We are so weak. We're living in a planet that seems very safe on the outward. But you know what? It's full of dangers and risks. It's full, the atmosphere, the sky. Okay, the clouds likewise beneath this earth. Think about an earthquake, how suddenly they happen. How suddenly, how quickly is it that waves you know, they're rolling over to the shore and they just don't stop. They keep rolling. They keep coming. They keep coming so fast that they are taking with them everything that comes in their way. Huge cars, heavy trucks, even houses are uplifted and everything has gone floods. Don't we hear about these things

happening all the time, an earthquake here, a flood over there a tsunami here?

I mean, some buildings could be constructed in such a way that they're earthquake proof. But that doesn't mean that they are you know, save from other natural disasters. Okay, and even earthquake proof that can only be to a certain limit. So do they not realize where they're living? How weak they are? How at risk they are inside their body, outside even, but still have the courage to disobey Allah subhanaw taala now with the wish to gain a locker we're doing Yes, it was very extreme. And yes, you know, when you look at it from outside, you're like, really where they're not using their mind. How could they disbelieve?

But let's shift the camera to ourselves.

Let's look at ourselves that With what confidence do we disobey Allah subhanaw taala. You know, sometimes when we're alone, and nobody's watching, we're alone at home, nobody's there, we can watch anything on the television. We can do anything we want. We can say anything we want, we can behave however we want, because nobody's watching but who's watching Allah subhanho? Who still has full control over you? Allah subhanaw taala? Do we not hear about sudden deaths? sudden deaths? Accidents, what are accidents, events that people did not prepare for? They never expected it. They never imagined it. But yet an accident happened.

Five people lost their lives. 10 people lost their lives.

And you would think that certain countries are safer. Meaning if you're living over there are certain areas if you're living over there, you will be safe. Nothing can happen to you. Because overall, you know, there is no storms and the weather is such or the ground is such that there's no expected danger. No foreseen danger. But still, the way guns are being used. In certain countries, you've never know. I mean, a school is not safe anymore. A house is not safe anymore. A store is not safe anymore. Even small communities. I mean, the other day, I was reading in the news somewhere in the States, 350 people is the total population of that small town. And a grandfather shot that his

daughter as well as her six children. And then he shot himself. Where are we safe, where we're still weak.

We all know about the last week accident or the shot which is in Scarborough is done the young man with the two kids left country and coming here to sponsor their family and to be having good save life. Because as you know, Afghanistan is very tough. And there's all for 20 years or three years there's a bombarding there's a bomb, but they live all is life. They're safe with no problem nothing but finally decided come Canada, two children one is five years one is three years. And he came finally to come here to make house to make your life so they can sponsoring here in Canada, but the night when he closing the PISA store, people shooting them and you died in the spot. So there is no

not know where your debt will take care of. It's not the space. It's not where you're going to go with the two kids there what everybody's there back home, but me coming to make life and survive their family SubhanAllah. I mean, you would think that if you've moved to a particular area to a particular country, you'd be safer there. You can live longer. You can outlive your death. But the fact is that whenever a person is decreed to die, he will die. So the fact is that no matter how protective, no matter how secure no matter how safe, we feel, who is truly protected and saved.

The one whom Allah grants protection to and who is it that he grants protection to his Olia? It doesn't mean that people who worship Allah subhanaw taala who love Allah, they will never die. No, of course, every human being will eventually die. Every human being will eventually go. Some will go sooner, and others will go later. But no one is staying here permanently. So when we realize that our life is short, we are going to leave one day we are going to one day face Allah subhanaw taala we better set our record, right? We better make sure what's going in our records is worth presenting. It is worth showing, because otherwise, who is to blame? We're to blame.

I was reading this article ones and there was like they were showing all those sinkholes that have been happening. And they were saying that most of the sinkholes have been happening like recently and like big, big mansions and like one of them was so scary that there was a house and right next to that house, the wall of the house and and this whole area of head up the wall. It all just sunk and the house didn't sink but like this whole area in the back was like completely gone. And the roads and big big roads and especially the big mansions and it was really scary to see that and there were quite a few. I was shocked when I saw that sinkholes. They're becoming quite common.

I remember reading the news Wednesday, this man he heard a big blast. Ran out of the house. His brother was inside. And when he came in check his brother was not there anymore. And they were just a big, big hole. Big hole in the ground.

Brother gone. Were a low Arla

so can we ever feel so secure that we can disobey Allah subhanaw taala remember that story of those three boys whom their father said that

go commit the sin. I don't know what that sin was where nobody's watching you go eat this where nobody's watching you. So one went somewhere and he ate and another child went somewhere else and he ate and the third child came back and he's like, I couldn't find any place where Allah who's not watching me, Allah who was watching me everywhere. I was never alone.

And this is a reality. We're never alone. We're always being watched. We're always being checked on. Constantly, our deeds are being recorded. You know, it's like, there are times when you can just relax and be off guard and just behave however you want and say however you wanted laze around and dress up however you want. But even that has to be within limits. It cannot be such that a person begins to behave in a way that Allah subhanaw taala would not approve off.

When you're at work, you have to keep a check on you know, how you're carrying yourself how you're talking, how you're working, you're not wasting any time. But the fact is that a believer, a servant of Allah subhanaw taala is a 24/7 servant. He's always being checked on always being checked on deeds, actions, thinking everything.

Oh, yeah, who the whom feet are called lubing him or he can seize them feet, the con Luba him in their tackle lobe in their usual activity, the color was from the rulers of Lamba Kala, your Kalibata clip, the column is to turn about, you know, when we say yeah, I'm a liberal Kulu sabich called ballardini. So the column is to turn about now the word the column is used in several ways literally means to turn about. Over here, we can understand this as travel back and forth, you know, when a person is going in and out, in and out, okay, yeah, you know, out the city in the city, out the country back in the country, out of the house, back to the house, you know, on the way to work

back, you know, home, on the way to the supermarket, back home. So this the loop is constantly going on in our lives, right. So this is why the word love is also understood as usual activity, because that's what's going on, you're going upstairs, downstairs inside out, right from kitchen to the other room back to the kitchen. This is going on through the day. So oh yeah, who the whole theater can lobby him, he can seize them, meaning punish them. While they are busy in their usual activity, meaning everything is calm, everything is going as normal. It's an ordinary day.

An ordinary day when a person doesn't expect any harm, yet cola home, feed the Colombian. The Kolob has also been understood as when a person is turning about in his bed,

in his bed, you know, changing from the right side to the left side, from the left side to the right side. Allah subhanaw taala can seize a person, when that person is laying in his bed feeling safe and secure. He is resting, he's relaxing, and Allah can punish him. They're also he can season they're also from our home be more chizine. And they cannot cause failure. They cannot escape Allah's plan. They cannot escape when Allah subhanaw taala decides to catch them. Now this doesn't mean that anyone who dies in an accident or dies, you know, while they're doing their daily routine, their daily activity, or during their travel, or in a natural disaster, they must be doing something

really, really bad, they must be sinful. Now, the fact is that all of the children of Adam are sinful, some are caught early, and some are caught late. Some are granted a longer life than others, and some are granted a shorter life than others. But eventually everyone has to go. So when we hear something on the news, or when we see something on the internet, don't just assume oh, they must be really sinful. No, it just means that Allah subhanaw taala is still being merciful to us, in that he is giving us some more time. A few more days, a few more seconds, a few more years. Allow him how much more but he's given us some more time. So anyone who is living with surviving, he is surviving

because of His mercy. Allah subhanaw taala has mercy and anyone who goes however they go, they're going because their time is up. But none is safe from Allah's decree. Everyone will go and he will go back to his Lord. So throughout this life, get your act together and keep a check on you record what's going on in there what's being entered in your record, because that is what we will have to face. Oh yeah. Who the whom, or he can see is them. I love the whole Wolfin

Isla on the whole wolf. The whole Wolf from the root letters, how welfare. What does health mean? Fear. So in a state of fear

You know, sometimes death comes out, suddenly within a second, a person doesn't even know how he died.

For other people, how does it come slowly and gradually, they see death coming. And as death draws closer and closer, what happens there fear, it increases and it increases. And this is a very painful death. The whole Wolf. Like, for example, a person is starving to death. A person is living in a state where someone is threatening them every few minutes, I'm going to shoot you, I want to kill you, I'm going to behead you, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that to you. And then what happens? Eventually, their last day comes. But imagine for three months for one year a person is living in a state I could be killed any moment.

Can you imagine the fear and the agony that a person is living with? You know, when a ship is sinking, and a person is trapped on that ship, and he sees Okay, five of my friends have already fallen in the water. I could be next the whole wolf.

The whole Wolf. People are sitting in an airplane and they're told you know what, we're going straight down in the water. Sorry. We can't do anything to save you.

And then people feel going down, down, down, down, and then the plane hits the water and it goes down the whole wharf.

A train falls off the bridge and what happens people see, they can see where they're headed to the whole wolf in that state of extreme fear. Don't these things happen?

Am I talking about a fairytale world? Or am I talking about the real world? This is real world. These are things that we hear about all the time, every other day, someone dies in one way or another person dies in another way 300 people killed in one way or another 300 People lose their lives in another way or not the whole of

also the word the whole wolf means the knockoffs. Then of course, the Nautilus meaning gradual diminishing, gradual deterioration, gradual deterioration. So for example, a person gradually his body is deteriorating, deteriorating, deteriorating, you know the doctors to diagnose an illness or disease and then what happens they prepare the person that this is what's going to happen to your body when they go for their next test they find out okay, my body has become much worse next test much worse much worse much worse than up close gradually their health declines gradually their strength declines a person has all a lot of money, big business, what happens big loss here, big

loss, their big loss there. And the next thing they know they are in debt, the knuckles.

So this also happens all the time.

Oh, yeah. Who the whom I let the whole Wolfin for inop Bakula over Rahim. But indeed, your Lord is surely affectionate and merciful. But we sin day in and day out.

Seriously, think about it. What is it that makes us worthy of living? What? What is that special thing that we have done? Because of which we can say that? Yeah. Allah subhanaw taala has let me live. Yeah, I deserve that. What makes us better than people who have died in airplane crashes? who have lost their lives and mystery planes? What makes us better?

Are we more generous? Are we more knowledgeable? Are we more pious worshipers? What makes us more worthy? Can we say that we're better people? No, we cannot. The fact is that it's only exclusively purely Allah's mercy, His kindness, because of which we're breathing. And we're living every moment every day. But we misuse this. And we, instead of being grateful to Allah subhanaw taala instead of remembering him and thanking him and increasing in our obedience, we go the other way.

Just reminds me that we should be so grateful, like no matter what happens if bad or good is smaller, big, always be grateful. Because I remember a little bit after 911 like this happened a little bit after 911 happened, a journalist he was talking to because there were so many people that would have been in that building because they work there. But they weren't there and they weren't part of the accidents. And he was interviewing, he got some of those people and he was talking to them like, of all days, like, today was the day you'd missed work. Why? And the reasons were so like, like so little like there was one lady who her kids first day of kindergarten, so she was a

little bit late to work and she like didn't she wasn't in the building. And like a man who that morning forgot to iron his shirt so he was a little late. And like a lady who stopped to get bandages.

So she's just a couple minutes late, and like one who missed his bus because he was tying his shoes. And at that time, I'm sure they were all like, angry, and you know, I'm gonna miss work, I'm going to be late. But then they could have died. If they were there. It wasn't their time. So again, the lesson is that if anyone dies in an accident suffers in an accident, it's because that was decreed for them. And if someone was saved, they were saved only because of whose mercy? Allah subhanaw taala has mercy. But again, how many years are we going to live? How many? A few more, perhaps, maybe less than a year.

We all have to go back eventually, somewhere. I was just thinking about books and movies these days, you know, often they show how, you know, some sort of major asteroid is going to hit us and whatever. And all the scientists get together, and they find a solution within 24 hours, and they save the planet. And, you know, these sorts of things are, you know, we get brainwashed into that, you know, it's okay, no matter what happens, all the scientists and smart people get together and save us. And we don't realize that, you know, no matter what the scientists do, at the end of the day, it's what Allah decrees will happen for us and where we always live with this false belief

within us. And you know, we have to be really careful. And we should always, you know, keep these eyes in front of us and realize that, you know, anything can happen at any moment. And no scientist, no research can save us. I mean, think about just a small virus. One virus can spread so quickly, and it can take the lives of so many people, what control do we have over our immune system even?

Do we have any control?

It's like you said, how some people see their death coming to them slowly. We hear about cancer patients or people who have an incurable disease. For them every day is just like, they're just waiting for their death to come to them. They're just waiting for that last moment when it's finally going to be over. And even if we don't take their example for us, for those who are elderly, we see people, our loved ones in front of us, we see them growing older every single day, we worry for them. We see ourselves grow older every single year. And we're like, oh, I can't do this. I'm not strong enough to do this anymore. Right? Like you hear like my collar, my my mother, everyone.

There's like, oh, yeah, when I was younger, I used to do this too. Now my body doesn't have the strength to do this anymore. Right? You see people in front of you aging, you see, like, death is coming. There's nothing you can do about it. It's just, it's a matter of setting yourself to prepare yourself mentally that you know what it's coming. What can I do in that time that I have? Because it's definitely coming. If it's happening to your parents, if it's happening to the people around you, it's definitely going to happen to you. It's not like you're going to suddenly be saved from something that is the only serenity in our life.

Oh, well. Amuro Do they not see ILA to that which mahalo Allah Who that which Allah has created min che in anything meaning everything that Allah subhanaw taala has created Do they not see it? What that yet a four year old Lila Lu it's shadows their shadows they yet a year old they incline I nearly Amin from the right was Shama ill, and the left yeah the failure is from the root letters failure Hamza fate fate is to rejoice to return to shift from one side to the other. And Lila Leno's applauded of will lead is shadow. So do they not see that everything which Allah has created? It has a shadow and that shadow what happens to it? It shifts yet a year Oh, it shifts from our nearly Amin

from the right was Shema it and also from the left, meaning throughout the day with the movement of the sun, what happens? The Shadow shifts, does it happen? That sometimes you're sitting in the shade in your backyard, and then what happens? After a few moments you realize you're not in the shade anymore. Why? Because the shadow it moved, it shifted.

And these shadows as they are laying on the ground. And as they're shifting right to left and left to right through the day through the seasons. They are in reality so gentle Lilla there prostrating to Allah, wa whom the rune and they are humble. They're prostrating to Allah because they're laying on the ground. The shadow is where

where's the shadow, it's on the ground, if not in the ground on something that is lower than where the object is. So it is frustrating and it's definitely true definitely known as Florida of the hit from the whole the whole is to be small to be such that you do whatever you are commanded. You have no choice you have no say.

Okay, Darfur is basically used for someone who does what ever he is commanded to do. Whatever he is told to do, he doesn't have any say, you know, for example, if you're told to do too much work, you can say

No, I'm sorry, I'm not going to do this. Like, for example, there could be a person who's cleaning somewhere, like, for example, at a workplace and they're told clean this drain and they're like, No, excuse me, I don't clean drains. I don't do that. They have that right to say, I don't do this they can refuse. Correct. But the head is someone who cannot refuse. Who doesn't even have that much say? Who is so weak, so low, so controlled? That he doesn't have any say? So who is the hero over here? Everything that Allah has created? It doesn't have any say, when the Command of Allah subhanaw taala comes? Can the sun refuse Allah's orders? Can the moon refuse Allah's orders? No. Can the trees

refuse Allah's orders? No, nothing can wahome Daffy rune now if you think about it, what is mentioned over your mahalo calm and everything that Allah has created, different creation of Allah is mentioned here. And if you think about it, some creatures, what are they like? Their body is such that they're literally bending. So for example, a horse, what is the neck like it's bending forward, a goat, a cow, even an elephant, so huge, but with its trunk, it's bent.

So everything is humble before Allah subhana wa Tada. It is obedient to Allah, what Allah He is doodoo Murphy, Sama, Watty, Wilma fill up and to Allah prostrates whatever is in the heavens, and whatever is in the earth, Minda of any creature, meaning every single creature frustrates to Allah. and frustration over here can be understood as physical prostration. And also frustration in the sense that obedience and humility, submission surrender. Well whom layers that we wrote, and they are not arrogant at all. They're not arrogant. Look at the huge size of an elephant. But look at how it's been forward. Look at a huge mountain so tall, so massive, yet its shadow prostrate to Allah,

while melodica and the angels also meaning the angels also prostrate on layers that we don't, they're not arrogant.

And the angels Joha phone or bomb info to him, they fear their Lord above them. Meaning these angels imagine how big they are, how mighty they are. Remember when the prophets of Allah Islam saw Angel Jibreel, the first time in the horizon? How big was Jibreel he had covered the entire horizon. Imagine you're looking at a clear sky, clear horizon, there's no tall buildings, tall structures, nothing like that. And you'll see something covering the entire horizon, as far as you can see,

that's how big Gibreel was. Just imagine.

But still, the angels are afraid of their Lord, you'll have will not have Bowman folk him and notice men folk game, meaning their Lord who is above them, this may be referring to the carriers of the throne, the angels that are carrying the Throne of Allah subhanaw taala. And you know how big those angels are? Just the distance between their ear lobe and their shoulder

is how much

like a bird flying for 70,000 years or something like that. I don't remember the exact figure now. But just imagine the distance between the ear lobe and the shoulder, a creature traveling for so many, many years, that's the distance of that one angel. But those angels even they're afraid of their Lord because yes, this creation is mighty. But imagine how much more Mighty is the Creator?

Who is 100 Laser Comey cliche.

Just imagine, beyond our imagination. So you'll have a phone or a bomb and follow him wherever unknown Are you moron and the angels, despite their abilities and their power and their strength and their closeness to Allah subhanaw taala yet they do whatever they are commanded.

They do whatever they are commanded. When the prophets had a lot of one on one for merit Lodge, he said that on the night on which I was taken on the night journey, I passed by the hosts on high and Gibreel was like a worn mat from the fear of Allah. He looks like a worn mat, you know, a mat that's like, old, it's colorless. Gibreel so beautiful. He was when the Prophet salallahu Salam saw him before that it was as the pearls and rubies were falling from his wings. And now because he was so close to Allah subhanaw taala Gibreel was so scared so terrified that he looked like a worn matte color Allah less as if life less so scared way afar Luna ma yo maroon, they do whatever they are

commanded. And here we are walking on this earth soul week.

I'm so vulnerable, so tiny, and we have the confidence to disobey Allah subhanaw taala and go on in that disobedience
