Are the bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim lesson number 150 Surah Tolka have iron number nine to 26. M has scimitar or do you think and that was horrible Caffee that the companions of the cave? What rookie me and the inscription? Can Oh, they were mean, I attina of our signs are Java a wonder, amazing. Do you think that the people of the cave, the people of a rookie team, there are? What happened with them is something amazing.
It's something? Of course it is. Of course, it is amazing. You are rightfully surprised, because their story is amazing. It's quite extraordinary. But remember that your Lord is capable of doing far more amazing things.
If you look at the IEA has said that or do you think when you're being asked a question all of a sudden what happens? You become alert. So from this ayah onwards, the story of the people of the cave is mentioned. And this question is asked, in order to alert us in order to make us curious, do you know about this amazing story? Yeah, you think it's amazing? Of course, it's amazing. And you know what your Lord can do something that's even more amazing. Who are the people of the cave? Us? How will God have people of the cave, there are basically some men, some youth who believed in Allah Alone. And when they saw that there are people were opposed to this belief. And they were going to
face a lot of hardship, if they adhere to the belief in Allah Alone. What these men did is that they left their people and they intended to go somewhere else somewhere else where they could worship Allah subhanaw taala freely. But what happened on their journey? They stopped and to crest in a cave, just like the Prophet sallallahu Sallam when he left Makkah in his Hijra. What did he do? He stopped at a cave. Which cave? Was that? The Cave of
*?
I don't remember.
Yes. So, okay, because the other one was where the where he came, okay. And this is the one where the Prophet sallallahu Sallam stopped on his journey on digital. So anyway, when they stopped at the scale of these men, they decided to take some rest. So they fell asleep and slept for 300 years. They didn't die. They were actually sleeping, and they slept for 300 years. And when they woke up, they thought, Okay, we've been sleeping only a day or part of a day. They said, We're hungry. Let's go buy some food. So when they went secretly to some village or community where they could buy food from they realized everything had changed. What's going on here? Everything is so different. And
when the people whom they met, they realize that these guys are from 300 years ago, and they were sleeping in the cave for 300 years, there realize that those men what they were upon was the truth. What they were upon was the truth. So do you think this is amazing? Of course, it's amazing. Someone's sleeping for 300 years, of course, doesn't happen with ordinary people. This is an extraordinary event that happened. Can women attina algebra and us have a Rakeem who are the people of a rocky rocky miss from rock off me rockin rock Obama is to inscribe to write. And Rakeem gives meaning of Macomb because the names of the people of the cave, were inscribed on a tablet. Okay,
just like a big historical fact. You know, it's preserved and how was it preserved? Long time ago, people did not have paper, right. So anything important that had to be written, it was written on, it was inscribed on a tablet was written on an inscription basically. So the people of the team kind of made it now Raja, what's their story? Allah subhanaw taala tells us first of all, an introduction to the story. And then in detail in when meaning recall the story when our fifth year to the fit here. The young men they our our from the letters hums Oh, yeah. away. We used to take shelter. So the fifth year took shelter. Fifth year, is a plural off Fattah and who is Fatah, a young person, a
young person who is complete in their physical ability and also their determination. So in other words, a Fatah is a person who is of strength and also a person who
He's got a lot of willpower. Very, very determined.
Are young people like that?
Are they like that? Are you like that? Or no?
No.
You know, young people are actually like that they're very determined about what they want to do. You know, it's like when you want to go shopping,
okay? You'll drag your mother, you'll drag your father, you'll make sure you go. It's amazing how young people convince their parents to buy them something, or to let them study something or let them go somewhere. It's amazing because once young people have got their heads around something, they're definitely going to do it. They're definitely going to do it.
And they also have a lot of physical ability. I mean, compared to little kids, of course, they have more ability. So the fifth year they were young men, they took shelter they took refuge in Al Caffee in the cave, they retreated to the cave for Carlos so they said Rob burner or our Lord attina You give us Mila DUMKA from yourself Ramadan mercy give us mercy from yourself be merciful to us what he Atlanta and prepare for us Hi yah, Hamza. The how you is to make something ready to prepare it to prepare it in a way so it is fit for its purpose. So well. Hey Atlanta, prepare for us men. I'm Rena concerning our matter. Russia the right guidance, proper conduct the right way.
These people fit here. First of all, we find out that they were very young. They weren't old uncle's old men who were the Utes. And secondly, there were a few of them. How many? About seven? Okay. And these young people remember they left their homes? Why in order to preserve their faith, and they went to the cave. And on their journey? What are they doing? making dua to Allah Robina Tina Mila Danka Rama? Well, hey, Atlanta, I'm in a marina Rashida. I want you to put yourself in their shoes. Think about it. You're young.
You're young, not old, young,
a whole life ahead of you. And especially young people, what do they like to do?
What do they want to do have fun.
But these people, their priority is not fun.
What is their priority? Dean? Who is their priority? Allah subhanaw taala. They want to worship Allah alone. And when they see that they cannot do that in their home country. Instead of creating a conflict, instead of picking up a fight, you know, or giving up? What do they do? They say we cannot mix with the people we cannot become like them. And at the same time, we cannot live in constant conflict. So what's better avoidance, let's get out of here. Hopefully things will change. But for now we need to get out of here.
And as they go, they don't know what's going to happen in the future. They don't know where they're going to end up. Where you know, they might get caught. Somebody might kill them. And they're young people who've got no life experience. So who do they turn to for help? Allah subhanaw taala because Oh Allah, we're doing this for your sake and we want help from you. Notice
attina Milla Don Kurama le don't care what does it mean from near you? From you? Because what comes from Allah, that is great, that is the best. This is the reason why Abu Bakr radiallahu anhu he asked the Prophet salallahu Salam that oh Prophet teach me a DA that I can make in my salah. So the prophets of Allah dissident taught him a DUA to read at the end of his salah. Does anyone know what that is?
Loudly please.
When I are filled with the Nuba illa Anta phone fiddly, Malfi rotten, main rain they
all Allah forgive me with the forgiveness that is from you. I want your forgiveness. Because Allah's forgiveness is the best forgiveness. Likewise, mercy from Allah is the best mercy it's the best is the best facilitation. So attina Milan Kurama Hola. You usual merci to us. Well, how are you Atlanta, I'm in Germany and Russia. We don't know what to do. We don't know where we're gonna go. Which home we're gonna stay at where we're going to eat from. We have a little bit of money, fewer resources. We don't know what we're gonna do. You guide us, you show us the way.
There are many points in our lives where, you know, we're put in a situation where, you know we have to choose
One way we have to decide what we're going to do.
Either we're going to do something that Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with, or we're going to do something that Allah subhanaw taala will be displeased with. And it's a very difficult step. But it's also something that we cannot avoid.
So when you jump into it and you say, nevermind, Inshallah, I will go for the option by which Allah subhanaw taala will be pleased with me. I want to follow his order. You feel lost? Because literally, you're swimming alone in that ocean. Everybody's on the other side. Everybody does. Everybody is doing what is more conventional. What is more common in the culture? And here you are adopting a completely different way. Why? Because you want to follow the dean. You're a complete stranger. You don't know who to look to. You don't have many friends, you feel alone?
I'm not talking about aliens. Or does this happen in real life? Every time you want to follow the deen, you want to take one step further in your religion. You feel alone,
you feel alone.
Because sometimes your entire family is on a different page. Your friends, think differently. Your counselor, your teachers, they're telling you to do something different. And here you are deciding to do something just because it conforms more to your religion.
So at that time, remember you're not alone.
You are not alone. Why? Because Allah's help is with you. You turn to Allah, ask him for help. attina Milla don't Kurama Yama want your mercy, I'm doing this for you. And I want help from you alone. I expect help from you alone.
And just imagine when a person expects help from Allah alone, what kind of help will he get? What kind of help will he get? It's something that will amaze you.
Last week, in the course that's happening in the same building in Urdu, they had their tenders that meal.
And one of the students shared their reflections about how when they studied in Surah Baqarah that dealing with riba with interest is basically waging war against Allah and His Messenger, they decided that they were not going to take a river loan
for their studies. And this individual, I believe they're planning to do their master's degree or something. And you can imagine what that loan would be and how much that would matter. Because, you know, you want to go further in your career. Your family wants you to study something, and you see the potential in yourself and you really believe you can go far. But she said that I made up my mind, I was not going to take River, I was not going to touch river.
And she said, you know the IRA in which we learn that Alladhina coluna Reba lair como una Illa coma, Yo como lady at the hub bottle shaytaan Amina illness, that such a person will stand on the day of judgment will come on the day of judgment as if he has been driven to madness by shape on like someone who has been possessed by a devil. Like imagine how they're behaving. This is how a person will be on the Day of Judgment. She said this description. You know, it frightened me, it terrified me. And I didn't want to go near that. But she made up her mind. She was not going to deal with it. So then what does that mean? You don't even apply them. Because if you're not going to take the
loan, you're not going to get that education you because you don't have that money. She said I filled out my application submitted it and left the matter to Allah. Seven, eight months passed, nothing happened. Nothing happened. And then a professor contacted her. He wanted her to work on something, you know with him.
So she got enrolled in that program. And guess what? Everything is paid for by the university, even the bus fare.
Even the bus fare.
The one who asks Allah alone for help than Allah alone will help him.
The one who leaves his matter to Allah than Allah will create a way for him. May yet duckula yadgir Allahu Maharaja, the one who fears Allah, Allah will make a way out for him. While Zuckermann Hazel layer the sip and Allah will provide him from where the person cannot even imagine. He did not even expect but Allah will provide him because who is our provider? Allah, not people, not banks. Allah is our provider. It's not even our parents who provide us it's Allah who provides us through our husbands through our parents, through different people.
But the sole provider is Allah subhanaw taala. So ask him for help. Any distress that you're feeling in your life that you're suffering from, don't turn to people turn to Allah
and jump in the ocean for his sake, do what is right. For Allah sake, and Allah will help you.
These young people, they left their homes, they said, If we stay here, we're going to be forced into Sheikh, we're going to be forced to adopt this false religion, and we cannot live it. We have to worship Allah alone. So they laughed.
And they said, Oh, Allah, you provide mercy to us. And you will hate Lynn, I'm in a marina Russia that what is Russia, Russia is right conduct in a knowing what to do.
Knowing what to do, where to go, and when everything works out.
So Oh, Allah, make everything work out for us. We don't know how to work out our affairs. We don't know how to fix the situation, you fix it. We're taking this one step for your sake. And we believe in you, we believe in your mercy. And we trust that you will take 10 steps towards us.
What have you learned I'm in a marinara shadow. So then what happened? When they took the step? What happened? Did Allah subhanaw taala help them? Of course he did. They went to the cave. And over there, they were resting for the Robina Allah then he him, the Robina we struck Allah then he him on their ears, or then is a plural of Odin. Lava literally means to hit. But it doesn't just mean hit. It has different meanings depending on how it's used. We struck on their ears, Phil Caffee, in the cave Sinitta for many years, either the A number meaning for a number of years, they were in the cave, and we struck over their ears. Think about it. If you're lying down, and somebody comes in,
gently bats your head, then what happens it's as if you're being put to sleep,
isn't it. And notice how the ears are mentioned, as if the ears were sealed. So they were put to sleep. What this means is that they were put to sleep, they were made to sleep. And this sleep was deep. because sleep is of two kinds. One kind of sleep is light.
And that is the one in which you hear everything.
Or almost everything.
And that sleep is not good. Why? Because you hear something and you wake up and you hear something else. And then you wake up again. You're constantly disturbed. You hear every car drive by, and you hear every bird chirping.
And then you hear everybody walking upstairs. All right, you hear all the noises, even if somebody's walking downstairs, you hear that? This is light sleep, may Allah protect us from that, because it can be very, very difficult. The other kind of sleep is deep sleep in which your ears are sealed. And what that means is you don't hear anything.
And when you don't hear anything, then what happens, you're not going to wake up.
So they were made to sleep, deep sleep, so that they didn't hear anything, because of which they were not disturbed at all. And this slept for many years, how many years 300
Now the second kind of sleep that can also be problematic actually, sometimes, right when the alarm is
going off right by your head and you don't hear it. But the person in the next room they hear it and they come and slam your alarm shut and you're still not awake.
May Allah protect us from sleep also balanced sleep right moderation. Anyway, so follow up and then him Phil Caffee Sina, either. Now what happens is that generally a person cannot sleep beyond you know, a certain point out of hunger, you will wake up, you'll get tired because of sleeping too much you'll get a headache. Right, your eyes will become well, you know, puffy, right? You'll get thirsty, you get exhausted, you will naturally wake up but these people what happened with them. They did not wake up at all.
This slept not just for many hours, not just for many days, not just for many weeks, not just for many months, but for
300 years. Imagine not one year 300 years. We don't even live that long, but they were made to sleep for this long. Did Allah subhanaw taala cover them with his mercy? Yes, he put them to sleep and sleep can be very blissful at times of distress.
Isn't it
because then, you know, your brain turns off, at least for some time and you get relief from all the, you know, pain and worry and anxiety that you're suffering from. So they were made to sleep, and imagine how good that must have been for them. It was a relief from their distress.
Some of our ethna home, then we raised them.
We woke them up. They were made to get up from their sleep. And notice how the word Barth has been used, which is basically for resurrection, coming back to life. This doesn't mean that they were dead. No, they were alive. They were sleeping because the Quran tells us that they were sleeping as we will learn. So then why is this word used birth? Because when we sleep, then what happens? Our soul is taken, not completely, but partially. And then when we wake up our soul is returned to us. This is reason why when we're sleeping, what do we say this make Allahumma a move to what are here in the morning, what do you say Alhamdulillah Hillary, or Hannah Barddhaman a Montana he gave us
life after he caused us to die. He returned our soul to us in the Quran we learn Allah Who yet awful anfis Hina moutier Willa t lambda mu V Manami ha. Those who don't die, then their soul is taken during their sleep. Likewise, in the Quran, we learned well, one lady at our Falco belay, he takes your souls by night. So some of our Earth now home, we cause them to wake up from their sleep. Why? Lena lemma, so that we might know. And of course, Allah subhanaw taala already knows about everything, even 50,000 years before we were created, everything was written recorded.
What does it mean by this, so that we may come to know, Allah knows about everything. But just because he knows.
That doesn't mean that he will judge people based on that knowledge. Allah knows the fate of every person, Allah knows the end of every person, the actions of every person, Allah knows what we're going to do even before we're going to do it, but he lets us do it
Okay, and this is called realm of the hood
him off manifesting his knowledge, he already knows but he manifests His knowledge by letting us do it and this is on which our recompense is based when we do something, then we will be given reward or punishment for it. So, anyway, some of ours novom Linari lemma then we raised them, so that we may know we may know meaning we may show our knowledge of what that a user has been, which of the two groups has been is a duel off his his one group has been two groups, what's the plural
his boon
Zab good Michelle. So has has been a heads up alright. So which of the two groups I saw is more precise in calculating
from the root letters, how solid Yeah, his salt is salt. We have done this word earlier in many different forms. And their slot is basically to calculate to enumerate. The word is also used for statistics, because what are statistics, basically numbers calculations, right? And then displaying that information presenting that information. So which of the two groups is more precise in calculating in calculating what Lima for that which meaning the time the duration? Which levy so they remained who remained the US horrible cough remain were in the cave Amudha. In time, Ahmed, what does Ahmed mean time.
So then we awaken them that we might show which of the two groups was more precise, in calculating what extent the people of the cave had remained in time, meaning how long they remained in the cave, to see who is more correct in calculating how long these youths slept in the cave.
Now, the thing is that these people, these young men, it is said that they were from a village in Rome. All right. And they learned about the teachings of Risa alayhis salaam. So when did they live?
Sometime between restart Islam and Mohamed Salah is Allah. All right. So they learned about the teachings of recited sunnah. And they believed and at that time, the teachings of Islam were still in their pure original form. So
Should have not entered, there was no concept of results and and being the son of God.
Now what happened that when they learned about this message they immediately accept, but the king
wasn't mushrik.
And the thing is that in history, this is what we see that people were always upon the religion of their leaders. state religion had to be observed by everyone. There was no freedom of religion. So if anyone renounced the religion of the king, there were severe consequences. So these people renounced the religion of the king. What that meant was basically that sentence. So they said, You know what, we're going to leave, we're going to save our lives, we're going to avoid all this problem, and we're going to leave. So they left. They went to the cave, Allah's parliament and sleep for 300 years, they woke up. And when they woke up, they were hungry, they went to town to buy food.
And when they went to buy food, it was discovered that these people were from 300 years ago. And these men are those who adopted the teachings of recited salaam, and they left. Now in those 300 years what had happened. It is said that the religion of resigned Islam had actually spread during that time in this area, and all the people were basically followers of the religion have resorted to that. So what happened now that people were guessing? They said, No, no, these people went 150 years ago, some said no, 300 Some said no. 400. So there was a conflict as to how long these people had remained in the cave. All right, there was a conflict as to how long the people had remained in the
cave. The point is, that Allah subhanaw taala wanted people to see, realize Allah's power
and how he helps his servants.
How Allah can make people sleep for 300 years, for their own good for their own safety for their own well being, and how Allah can keep a person alive for 300 years while he is while that servant is while that person is sleeping. What does it show? Allah's power, Allah's ability? What does it show, Allah definitely helps his servants. Now what happened with these men? This is called a karma.
All right, and you may have heard of the term karma. What is Karma, and unusual and extraordinary event that happens? At the hands or in the life of a good righteous person?
All right. It's a miracle in the sense that it's something extraordinary, but it's different from the miracle of a prophet.
And you see a comma, it's not performed. All right, no righteous person says, Come on. I'll show you something amazing. No, I'll show you you know, I'll sleep for 300 years and then I'll wake up. No, it doesn't happen. You don't show it. It happens.
You know, like Khalid bin Walid little Dillo, on whom he was given poison, a bottle of poison to drink.
And basically, that meant that he was supposed to be killed, and he wasn't given a choice. He said, Bismillah and he drank it, because he wasn't given a choice. But he said Bismillah he drank the entire bottle and he didn't die.
He did not die. Now what is this Acoma, it happened? Allah helped him, Allah saved him. Allah did not let him die, despite the fact that he drank that poison. Now, these youths also Allah did not let them die, despite the fact that they were sleeping in the cave for 300 years, because who kept them alive?
Allah, who kept Khalid, even when he had the long run, who alive? Allah subhana wa Tada. This is an unusual event, and you see a Kurama What is it Karim, Allah honors his servant by helping him by helping the religion through him. So these people, these young men were being helped by Allah over here. And when they were woken up, and they were sent back to their people, and when they saw everything changed in 300 years at fast What did people realize? These guys were up on the house?
What did they realize that Allah subhanaw taala can do anything? That only Allah deserves to be worshipped? So this was the benefit national knuckle sua alayka. We relate upon you their story, number of whom their news number is important, relevant news, we're going to tell you about their story will help with the truth in truth meaning, the true version, the actual true story. Who were the Allah says in the home 50th on indeed there were young men.
What was it
ordinary about them. I'm an OB Robbie, they believed in their Lord, was it in our home? Hoda and we increased them in guidance. Allah increased them in guidance. What does that mean? That Allah showed them the way
Allah helped them, Allah created ease for them. When the doors seemed to be closing, Allah subhanaw taala led them on a way that became a means of salvation for them. So Nanako swla Konoba, whom will help innovate yet on Amman will be robbing him? Was it in our home Buddha? If you notice how the word video has mentioned again and again.
And what happens young people generally they underestimate themselves. They say, Well, I'm still a teenager. What do I know about the Quran? I'm so young, you know, in sha Allah when I'm 30 When I'm 40 When I'm 50 Well, mother, when I'm a grandmother, then I'll do something good, then I'll do something amazing. No, Allah mentions the fact that they were fit here, again and again. Because a young person who is able in his body and determined he's got a lot of willpower, he can do a lot of good. Such a person can do a lot of good only if he chooses to do it. You can't be pushed into it. You have to decide yourself and when you will decide when you want to do it. Zina, Hamada. Allah
will increase in guidance, Allah will show the way Allah will guide the person
and for guidance, two things are necessary. If you want to increase in your guidance, two things are necessary. The first thing is your desire, your yearning, how badly do you want it? Because in the Quran, Allah says when Medina Daddo, Zen Buddha, those who want to be guided Allah increases them and guidance. And obviously the second thing that is necessary is effort, you have to take that step. You have to try you have to put in the effort and when you will do it Allah will show the way also in total, uncoupled Allah says well Ladino Jaha do fina learner the unknown super learner those who strive in our area, we will guide them to our way we're in Hola. Hola. Merci. Indeed, Allah
shortly with those people who do Elsa, so the more effort a person puts in, in the way of Allah, the more help he gets from Allah also. I was just thinking how they were used. And then the youth also have a specific place under the shade of Allah, like under the throne. Yeah. Or, yeah, that a person who spends his youth in the worship of Allah spends the prime of his life when there is a lot of temptations.
He spends the time of the worship of Allah prefers Allah over others, than what happens such a person will be under the shade of Allah on the Day of Judgment.
So don't waste your youth. Don't say I'll do it later, when I grew up, you're already grown up Mashallah.
Say, Hello, realize that whatever you do in your youth is what you're going to do at older age. I remember my grandma, may Allah have mercy on her. Like, you know, she was at an age where she couldn't keep a track of Salah, and she would wake up and think it was like already Salah time and I'll tell her no, it's not but because we got used to doing it at a young age used to reading the Quran. No matter what track of time, she wouldn't give no matter what will people do it, she will still pray even if she has to read the whole four times she will still do it.
So youth is a very, very important time of life. When reading the story of Musa de Sena in the granite was also mentioned that no one believed except for the young, like the youth. Very true. Was our listener who believed in him youth. The prophets have a lot of them also, who believed in Him. Many young people, right? They really low on who are a little below aren't with these were early converts, and they were young people.
This is no shade lawns attack. I'm young, I can have fun, enjoy life. But this is the prime of your life. When you have ability you have time. You don't have much responsibility. Because what happens later in life is that yes, you are physically fit. But you know what, your time is not yours anymore. It's not yours anymore. You have responsibilities. And you have so many other things to do because of which you know, your time is constantly consumed by others. And you can't do much for yourself. So what you do in your youth, what you read what you study, the habits that you develop, they will stick with you the rest of your life.
You know what you memorize now? That is what will you will be able to read in your Salah later
because that's what you've committed to your memory. And if you haven't committed more to your memory than what will you read later when you don't even have time to sit and read at least one just a day or half a day.
How will you find time to memorize
So youth and notice how with many young people peer pressure,
that how they get affected by peer pressure. Everybody's doing it this is what the pop culture is popular culture. Right? So do what the popular culture dictates
become like everybody else. But these fifth year did they become like everybody else? No. They stood up for their beliefs. They said no, we're not going to become like them. Because if we become like them we will be doing a great injustice. So they remained firm. They relied upon Allah Subhana Allah and Allah help them in a way that nobody could ever expect nobody could ever imagine. Let's listen to the recitation of these verses

So this was the introduction to the story. And now inshallah in the following if we will learn the entire story in detail what conflict there was when it came to belief with their people, where they went, how long they stayed. And how did they remain alive in the cave for so long. And then how they woke up and how they went back to their people in sha Allah, the story we will learn in detail in our next class. So pentacle. Lahoma We have Nick Nasha do Allah ilaha illa Anta Mr. Furukawa tuberculate A Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Thank you.
