R rajim Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim, rubbish La Jolla Slattery where Sidley Embry Hello Dr. Tan
melissani of Cabo co Lee. Lesson number 149. So little calf is number one to eight
		

			Surah taka have is a murky Surah which means that this is a Surah that was revealed before the
prophets of Allah center migrated to Medina. So keep the mucky era in mind. What was the situation
of the Muslims? What struggles were they facing? They had newly accepted Islam, many of them. And
even if they had embraced Islam years ago, it hadn't been more than 10 years, it hadn't been more
than 987 years. And as recent converts, first of all, they were facing a lot of difficulty in their
community, because all of a sudden there was a rift between them and the rest of the people. And
then on top of that, they were being forced to go back to their ways. So in this surah, which is a
		

			murky surah Allah subhanaw taala tells us about different stories, different incidents, beginning
from the story of the people of the cave, because that served as a motivation and also as a source
of guidance for them. That Allah's help is with you. If you are upon the truth, Allah's help is with
you. So I want you to keep the MKi context in mind as we study the surah. And it is said that the
surah was revealed between the eighth and the 10th year of prophet hood. And this surah has 110
verses over 1500 words, how many words over 1500 and over 6000 hudl?
		

			If you were to recite the surah how much minimum budget would you get?
		

			From Hadees? What do we learn that for every health is 10 rewards, right? I live is a health. Lamb
is a health and mean is a health which means every single letter counts for every single letter you
get 10 Good deeds. So this one has how many letters over 6000 Multiply that by 10 60,000 has an
imagined 60,000 Good deeds. If somebody were to offer you $60,000
		

			For reading 10 pages, would you do it? Yeah, I would do it 50 times. Right. 10 pages. How hard is
that? How difficult is that? Even if it would take me two hours to do it. I think I would try. Why
not? $60,000 is worth it. You know what 60,000 Hasina are better than $60,000 because $60,000 They
stay in this dunya but 60,000 has an ad they make it to Jana. And when they make it to Jana, they
bring you everlasting reward everlasting happiness. The recitation of Surah Tolka have the
recitation of certain curve that itself can bring a person so much reward and there's a lot of
significance attached to the recitation of the surah. In a hadith we learned the Prophet sallallahu
		

			sallam said that whoever recites Surah Tolka have on Friday. It will illuminate him with light from
one Friday to the next.
		

			Reading the surah on Friday will illuminate a person we will bring him note, don't we ask Allah
subhanaw taala for news, Allah majority Calbee. Nura it doesn't mean you are Oh Allah give me like
physical light. What does not mean? He Daya guidance, clarity. So Allah will give him no from that
Friday to the next. In a hadith we learn which is also an authentic hadith. She already has
authenticated in his book a sense that also have that man Tala Surah Toka. Whoever recites a little
cough, exactly as it was revealed, meaning the entire sort of beginning to end cannula who neuron
yomo Kiana, it will be for him in light on the Day of Judgment. How much light McCall me in Emeka
		

			from where he is present to Makkah. So for example, you are in North America. Now just imagine the
distance from North America all the way to Makkah. How long is that distance? I mean, it's quite
significant, several 1000 miles. Now imagine that big of a light on the Day of Judgment with who
with a person who recites Surah Tolka.
		

			So just the recitation of the surah is a source of great benefit light in this dunya and light in
the Aclara.
		

			And not just a recitation
		

			It's memorization also.
		

			Because you can only recite when you've memorized and by memorization, I mean, literally, you've
memorized it, you've preserved it in your memory. Because generally what happens if we have not
memorized the sutra? Then we think okay, when I go home, then I'll find the most how often when I
get to sit, then I can sit with the most haven't read. But if you've memorized it, you can recite
it, even when you're putting your clothes away. Even as you're walking to your bus stop. Even as
you're sitting in the bus, when you don't have almost half you can recite it anywhere. So the
memorization of the surah is also a source of great benefit. In a hadith we learned the Prophet
		

			sallallahu sallam said, Whoever memorizes three is, from the beginning of so little curve, can that
be done? Three, three, are they long is that a lot? No. Three is from the beginning of skeletal calf
will be protected from the fitna of the germ. In another Hadees we learn whoever memorizes 10 ayat
from the beginning of skeletal calf will be protected from the fitness of the journal. So 10 I add
from the beginning of Surah Tolka have in a hadith we learned that once a man who was reciting Surah
will have at night and his animal, his horse was also you know, at the side of his house, so
basically indoors, and when he was reciting the Quran surah to calf, he says that his horse was
		

			feeling startled and it was moving a lot and he was afraid because his son was sleeping close by so
he was afraid that if the horse moves too much, you know, his son will get hurt. So he stopped and
he when he looked overhead, he saw a cloud. Imagine in the house you see like white smoky stuff.
Okay, so he got a little afraid also in the next day, he told the prophet salatu salam and he said
that this was tranquillity which descends when a person reads the Quran. So the angels also come
especially to listen to the recitation of the Quran. And sunnah to calf is no ordinary Surah it is a
Surah with great significance. So when a person is reciting it, there is no for him in this dunya
		

			there is no for him in the akhira he will be protected from the thickness of the gel, and the angels
of Mercy also especially surround him. So what is the surah Bismillah Al Rahman Rahim, Al
Hamdulillah, all Praise to Allah. All praise is due to Allah alone. Why? Because he is a levy, the
one who ends Allah Allah Abdi Hill keytab, who has sent down on his servant, the book, who has
revealed to His servant the Scripture with Scripture, which book the Quran and what kind of a book
is it? Well, AMEA journal, and he has not made Lahu for it, meaning for this book, Allah has not
made in this book, religion, any deviance, meaning this book is free from any deviation, it is free
		

			from any error. And because Allah has revealed this book to His servant Alhamdulillah, all praise
due to Allah. And not just because of this reason that he has revealed the book, but in general
also, who is truly deserving of praise. Who, Allah subhanaw taala in fact, who who, besides Allah
deserves praise. Number one, Allah is the only one who deserves how and why, due to the perfection
of his attributes, due to the perfection of his actions, due to the perfection of his decisions, he
deserves praise,
		

			the previous Surah Surah Surah that we studied, that Surah begins with
		

			Subhana Allah Subhana Allah de, this surah begins with Alhamdulillah. If you think about it, sort of
Islam begins with Subhana Subhan Allah the Subhan Allah, why, what favor is mentioned over there,
the great blessing, the great favor off the journey of Israel. And over here Alhamdulillah Why, what
favor is mentioned over here, the revelation of the Book, the revelation of the Quran, that is a
blessing, and this is a blessing. So all that we say is Praise be to Allah. Now the question is,
what is praise? What do we mean when we say Alhamdulillah? Hand is to basically mention the most
perfect attributes of someone.
		

			Why do you mention good attributes the good qualities of someone? What's the reason behind that?
When you're mentioning someone's good qualities, what are you doing? You're praising them. Why would
you do that? Okay, gratitude. Why else? Yes.
		

			Okay, you're acknowledging the fact that they possess those great qualities Very good. Why else
would you do that? Because they deserve it. They've really done something beautifully. They've
really spoken well, they've really done a good job. So obviously, you're going to praise them,
you're going to mention their good qualities. Now, the word hummed. What does it mean? It is to
mention the most perfect attributes of someone. Why? Out of admiration, with love, like you really,
truly admire someone, because they truly deserve those good qualities. So out of love out of
admiration, you cannot keep silent. Right? What happens when your heart is full of admiration for
		

			something? Can you keep silent? Can you keep quiet over there? No, you just keep going on and on and
on. You know, for instance, you're sitting with your brother in the car, and he sees a car go by,
and he's going on and on and on about the car and you're like, Okay, fine, it's a car. Why is he
going on about it, because his heart is full of admiration for that car. And out of that admiration,
he cannot keep quiet.
		

			Then how much is also to praise out of respect, to magnify the object of praise? Because you really
want to show that they're great. You know, for instance, if you want to convince someone to try some
food, what do you say, have it, please have it? Is that all you do? What do you do? You begin to
praise that food. Say I promise you you've never had anything like it before. It's so good, that
you'll remember the taste. You know, you go on praising it, because you want to magnify the object
of praise. You really want to show that yeah, it's great. So how old is with my hubba with love with
admiration, and it is with our lien with respect for the purpose of magnification of the object of
		

			praise. And, by this definition, hummed, it just means it's true praise, meaning the one who's being
praised, deserves that praise. It's not fake. It's not lies, it's not pretense, it's reality. They
really are great. So alhamdulillah, all Praise to Allah, with love, with admiration with respect.
Why? Because of course he is great. Of course he is the best. Of course he is the most amazing one.
Alhamdulillah. And especially why? Because Allah the NS Allah Allah abdiel kita because he revealed
upon his servant the book which servant
		

			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now if you think about it, in Surah, Al Israa, Subhan Allah
ad, ASTRA Brd over there also the prophets of Allah, Islam was called OB, here also he is called OB,
who is a servant? If you're ever called a servant, what does that feel like? It's an insult to us,
isn't it? Which is why if somebody keeps asking us to do something, what do we say you think I'm
your servant? Right? We find it very, very disrespectful if somebody calls us a servant. But you
know what? Being the servant of Allah is not disgrace not at all. What is it? It's the most
honorable position that a person could be in the most honorable position. You know why? Because we
		

			were created as Allah servants, while my halacha Jinnah will ins Illa. Leah booty so that they
become my OB, so that they show servitude, they become my servants. This is worship. And when
something is fulfilling its purpose, when something is doing, what it was made for what it was
produced for, then is that a good thing or a bad thing? It's the best thing. And if it's not being
used for the purpose that it was made, then no matter what it is doing, it's useless. Right? So for
example, if you were trained to do a particular job, you went to university, to learn to do
something, and that is what you do. That's not an insult to you. What is it? It's the best use of
		

			your time of your energy? Why because you invested your time into it, your money into it, your
effort into it. So we are actually Allah servants. And when a person is called Allah servant, that's
an honor for him. And the Prophet SAW Allah is Allah was indeed the best servant of Allah. He was
indeed one of the best servants of Allah.
		

			And if you think about it being Allah servant, what does that mean?
		

			Allah
		

			As a servant who's Allah?
		

			Who is Allah? Our rub, Al, Allah. Allahu Akbar.
		

			Right? Allah subhanaw taala. He possesses the highest, the best, the most noble attributes, He is
God and everyone else's creation. So being his servant, being close to him, serving Him, this is
pure honor. This is pure honor, and serving the creation. What is that pure disgrace.
		

			And you see someone whom you love, someone whom you love, what do you want to do? You want to serve
them? Right? Which is why many times when, you know, for example, a wife or a husband is showing
their love for one another. What do they say? Yeah, I was meant to, you know, take care of you. And
I was meant to serve you. You know, they're showing their love to each other. They don't take this.
Offensively, they find honor, in spending money on each other. You know, a woman finds honor in
doing her husband's laundry. She will if she truly loves him, if she doesn't love him, she'll find
that as something that is very, very disgraceful, right? Because when you love someone, you want to
		

			serve them, you will run to serve them. This is a source of honor for you. And this is a reason why
there was a man who was madly in love with a woman. And he would say, let her the Rooney Illa BIA or
the her for inner who Ashraful Esma II. Don't call me by any name. Except Yeah, but the her all
servant of hers. Meaning if ever you want to address me, call me or her servant, so and so servant.
Why? Because that is the best name that I have. That is the best name that I have. I love her. And
if you call me her servant, that's the best thing you could say to me. Crazy. It is. But why is he
saying that because he loved her. So when you love someone, serving them is an honor being called
		

			their servant is praise. when slavery was still there in North America, like the slaves were
comparing to each other, whether like whose servant they belong to, to date, were they the slaves of
this, like so and so person who was of a higher rank, they were automatically given more rank
because they were that person slave. So it's the same thing for us. We're being called the slaves of
the Lord of the entire world. Exactly. So instantly, there's honoring that. So the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam is called over here. Alhamdulillah he lady ends Allah, Allah Abdeen keytab. So
Michael, um, you gave this example before, like, if there's like a Secretary of State president of
		

			America, then basically the stuff she's doing is like a servant. You just don't call her a servant.
But she does, the time she spends and everything she does. She's basically the servant of the
President, but she's so proud about it. She's gonna tell everybody, I'm the secretary of the
president of America, but were the servant of Allah. So we should be proud about that. Exactly. And
the thing is, that as human beings, this is within our nature, we have to do something, we have to
dedicate our lives, our energies, you know, into something, we have to focus everything of ours in a
particular direction. And we were created for Allah's worship and if we turn away from Allah's
		

			worship, we will end up in worshiping in the servitude to the creation. You know, this is why we
will play him he said that hurry boom in a risky lady holy Cola, who they ran from the bond for
which they were created, which bond that being Allah's bonds meant meaning his servant what Bulu
Barrett enough see what shaped Lani and then they were tried by being the bondservant, the slave of
who the knifes and the shape on. If we don't become Allah servant, we will become a servant to our
desires, and we will become a servant to shape Ah, so being Allah servant is truly an honor. So
Unzen Allah on the Hill Kitab Allah sent the book to his servant. Well Amelia, Allah who are Jada
		

			and he did not place in that book, any language. This book is free from any language, what is a
wedge, a wedge deviance through design Wow, Jean, the word Ouch. Ouch. Same letters but different
Holika R which is used for physical crookedness when something is physically bent.
		

			You know, when it's clearly bent. It's visibly bent. I mean, you as you see it, and you see it's
obviously crooked. There's no doubt about that.
		

			And rewatch is when something is bent. Something is crooked, not physically
		

			Clip but in the intangible sense, all right. Like, for example, certain individuals, they're called
straight. Okay? And others are called something else. They're not straight. Why is their physical
posture bent?
		

			Are they physically crooked? No, it it's their sexuality, right? Which is either straight or
otherwise I'm not saying you should start using these terms to refer to people. I'm just giving you
an example. All right. So this is what a wedge is when something is crooked. It's not straight. It's
not proper. And this bent. This crookedness is not physical, but it's intangible. All right. So you
perceive this crookedness in a person's behavior. All right, in someone's writing, in their beliefs,
in what they promote, in what they teach in their ideas, their ideology. All right. In their
interactions, you say, No, there's something wrong with it. He's perverted. She's not right. This is
		

			what what is, when something is problematic, when something is erroneous, it has error in it. So
Allah subhanaw taala has revealed this book on his servant and this book, the Quran is free of any
language. And notice areawide da reiwa Jun. You see the tufa 13? What does that show that this is a
noun and what kind of a noun it's a common noun.
		

			And common nouns sometimes is used to show the Cleal to show how level very little so lamea Gianna,
who are without meaning he has not placed in this book, even a little bit of deviation. This book is
free from any kind of error. How, if you look at its words, its words are free from incoherence.
Allah says Quran and allaby and Laila the language, la Lomita, calm its language, it's so upright,
it's so proper, without any error. Then if you look at its information, the information the news
that this book gives, even that is free of any lies. It doesn't miss inform people. It doesn't have,
you know, hearsay in it rather, this book has facts in it. If you look at the commands, the
		

			instructions, which are in this book, what are they they're also free from any deviation, what will
happen in the allowable, happy, NASA, it's the truth. And this book is free from distortion. So
what's the first thing we learn about this book from this idea that this Quran is free of error?
It's not a confused jumble of you know, randomness, as people say, it is not falsehood. It's not
problematic, then what is this book, A Yeaman, it is a hymn, there is no rewatch in it, there is no
problem in it. And then the Quran is a yam what is by him straight off well mean by him, one that is
standing by him, one that is upright, one that is proper. So this Quran is a hymn and the word claim
		

			has been understood in several ways. First of all, it has been understood as Mr. Team One that is
upright one that is correct, meaning it is as it should be free from any error in total Israa ini.
And we learned in the head of Quran yesterday Lottie here a poem, this Quran guides to that which is
most suitable. And I yield Secondly, also gives the meaning of one that sets straight, meaning if
something is crooked, something is problematic, the Quran will fix it.
		

			I mean, just think about it. Our lives are full of problems. Our relationships are the full of
problems, our language, our thinking, Are there errors? Are there problems over there? Of course,
and what do you want to do sometimes punch yourself or like hit yourself, you know, get over this
bad habit already. You try so hard to fix yourself doesn't work. And then you read one, I have the
Quran and it fixes you. It scares you. To the point that you're like, that's it. I'm never doing
this again. So the Quran fixes people, the Quran sets, right our affairs, our attitude, our
character, our actions, our relationship with Allah and our relationship with people. And then the
		

			Quran is also thirdly, by him given the meaning of mortal one that is justly balanced, because one
that is upright means one that is standing straight means that it's neither bent too much to the
right, nor is it bent to the left, then how is it in the middle? justly balanced, meaning the Quran
is free from any extremes? Its style is so balanced, where good news is mentioned, warning is also
mentioned over there, right, where prohibitions are given
		

			commands are also given. So the Quran is balanced. And it also promotes a very balanced way of life.
I mean, we haven't been taught to when we're dealing with people just be concerned about giving
their rights and forget about yourself and forget about Allah subhanaw taala. Likewise, we haven't
been taught to just worship Allah and neglect ourselves and neglect our families and neglect people.
Likewise, we haven't been taught to just focus on ourselves and forget everybody else. What does the
Quran promote? A balanced way of life? A balanced way of life because the Quran is a yam. So this
Quran, la mujer, Allahu Riwaka and then I human. why has Allah subhanaw taala sent this book? Why
		

			did he reveal this book on his servant? What does the ISA Lee Eun Vera so that he may warn, warn of
what when you're giving a warning? You're telling somebody, you better stop what you're doing or
else you will suffer such and such consequences? You're warning them about something dangerous,
something harmful, that may happen if they don't change their way. So what is the Quran warning us
about? Bet son Shaadi then bets that is shoddy what is bus? Okay, hardship. Remember that bus is
also used for military might, you know, for example fighting power. And basically it shows that it's
some hardship which is upon the body. Right. And there's different reasons for that over here, but
		

			SC gives the meaning of punishment, to warn them that there will be a bus a punishment that is
studied severe, unlike any punishment that you've heard of
		

			severe punishment. Milla Dune, who, from near him from who, from Allah subhanaw taala, a warning
from Allah, that if you don't change your ways, there will be severe punishment in the agora. But
the Quran is by him justly balanced. So at the same time, where you Bashir on meaning, and it gives
good news to those who believe who believe in who, who believe in Allah, who believe in Allah,
angels who believe in Allah's messengers who believe in Allah's books, who believe in divine decree
who believe in the Day of Judgment, those who believe. But it's not just Eman, good news is not just
for those who believe, but also a Lavina Yama, Luna slyly heard? Who are the believers, those who do
		

			righteous deeds, those who perform good works. What's the good news for them? Another indeed law
home for them. A Julian Hasina? A good, a beautiful, good reward. And Ajit, what is a budget? A
budget is basically a wage. You know, when somebody does something, you pay them, you pay them for
their services, you pay them for the time that they've invested, you pay them for their effort,
right? This is
		

			Allah says that those who believe and do good for them is a good wage. The reward in the akhira, the
reward of Jannah is it really something that you earn by doing good? No, because if it was just a
wage, then what would that mean? It should be equal to our deeds.
		

			But what do we learn for every letter that a person reads of the Quran? There's 10 Good deeds.
Right. So then why does Allah subhanaw taala called reward Ajit? Because he recognizes our efforts.
		

			He recognizes the work that we have done, he appreciates the work that we do. And nulla home agilon
has an for them is a good reward. Now, what is that good reward? It's not mentioned in the same
idea, but essentially, it's severe punishment is mentioned. What is that severe punishment? It's not
described over here. Where do you learn that the description from from the rest of the Quran
		

			but, you know, when you tell someone, there will be a reward? What is that reward? You're not told
about that? What does that show? It's a surprise. And it's too good to be mentioned. Right? It's too
great. It's a surprise. In the Quran we learn Fela Tara Allah Munna, Epson, Mao, Viola hum mencoba
Tiara Yun Jezza Americana Yama Loon, that no soul knows what is hidden for them, of the coolness of
the eyes, the reward for that which they use to do, meaning the reward that a person has
		

			Going to get they don't know about it. They don't know about it, what exact reward are they going to
get? Yes, we learn about, you know, rewards and Jana, for example, but what exactly each person is
going to get, he's now told, it's kept as a surprise. I was just thinking that Allah subhanaw taala,
like our purpose in life is to serve him. And he's saying that if you fulfill your purpose, which we
have to do anyways, then he's giving us something so great. Exactly. I mean, this just shows Allah's
generosity. So there's two ways of living one way is off rejecting this Quran, this book, which is
free of any language, that is a him rejecting it. And if a person rejects it, then what's the
		

			consequence? But essentially then, and if a person believes in this message, and does almost solid,
according to this book, then what is the result? agilon has Anna. Now what is that reward Allah who
are alone, but one thing is for sure, that reward is eternal. Mackey, fina, fie abeja Maggie Thien
ones who shall remain Magatha look, we learned that word in sort of Israel, what does it mean to
remain for a long time. So Maggie thean people in reward in Jana, they will remain fee in it Abba
for always forever. Meaning once they enter that place of reward, then there is no going out. There
is no leaving. There is no time up. There is no death. There is no fatigue. There will be no ending.
		

			What happens you know when you go to like a palladium or something and you get all your tickets or
your coins or whatever and you put your money in and you're trying to play a game and as soon as you
get into it time up. So frustrating. And they keep tempting you to keep you know to put more money
in to put more coins in or whatever it is. And you keep doing that because you want to see how far
you can go. But it's so frustrating but why is it ending and then anything good that you enjoy in
this life? What happens to it? What happens to it, it finishes it ends. You know when you're with
people you make friends, even individuals when they get married, what happens? A time of coming
		

			together a time of staying together and then a time of partying. One is living and the other is
dead. He's gone. This is the sad reality of this dunya Nothing here is forever. Nothing. Some food
you're eating. What's going to happen to it. It's going to finish the best the best you know,
product you got for your body. What happens to it? It finishes it runs out. Call us it's over. But
Jana Mackey fina fie he abeja the stay in Jana shall never end the delights of Jannah shall never
end its people will not die. Its youth will never go away. There is no aging in Jannah no aging, its
food will never run out. It's good times will never go good times will ever end. You know why?
		

			Because there's no conflict agenda, no arguments, no fighting, no getting upset with each other. But
what happens here? You enjoy good friendship with the particular friend for two, three years and
then a few things happen. And then five years later, you remember those good times and then you have
those feelings of sadness that Oh, I don't know what happened but we just drifted away. I don't know
what happened but we just never could keep up with one another. But in general, there is no
conflict. No argument. No hardship. No difficulty. Maggie fina fie Avada in Soto headed I have 48 We
learn later you must assume fee hand now. Sabon in Jana? No nosode No fatigue is going to even touch
		

			them. No person in Jana is going to be touched by fatigue. What does that mean?
		

			What does that mean? A person will never get tired, not even a little bit in Ghana.
		

			What happens here you go, you know, to some theme park and you're having fun. You're having a lot of
fun, too much fun. You don't want to go but your legs are aching. Your feet are hurting. You just
want to lie down and fall asleep. Because you're getting tired, your heart is not satisfied. But
your body
		

			is not there anymore. It cannot keep up with it anymore. But in general imagine pleasure will never
end why any kind of pleasure. Why? Because a person will never get tired. Lay a muscle via NASA

time is up. Now you have to go
		

			Oh, no one is being expelled from Jana Maggie thena fie aboda This is a reward that the Quran tells
us about for who?
