Taleem al Quran 2012 – P15 150D Tafsir Al-Kahf 15-17

How hola hola como una. They said these are our people, meaning our people, what are they doing it the how do they have taken min Dooney besides the meaning besides Allah le Hutton, multiple gods, what are people doing? They have taken multiple gods whom they worship. Lola, why not yet Dona? They come meaning our people? Why don't they bring our lay him upon them upon who? Their gods, the false gods? Why don't they bring for their worship? This will turn him by him with some clear evidence with some clear authority, meaning what proof do they have, that these idols are God, or all of these multiple beings that the worship are in reality God? Why don't they bring a solid proof? And

since they don't have a solid proof, then they're not right in what they're saying in what they're doing from another level, then who is more unfair Minnemann than the one who if there are Allah, Allah, He Khadija who is more unfair than the one who fabricates about Allah ally. In other words, these men said that our people are fabricating lies about Allah, what lies that Allah has partners, that there are multiple gods.

Now, why did they say this amongst themselves, for the purpose of reconfirming their belief, all right, to assure one another, that what they believe is not false, it is true, and what their nation is upon is indeed false. Because when you're adopting something new, you better have some firm ground beneath that. And likewise, when you're leaving something that you were upon, or that everybody is doing, again, you better have a good reason for that. If you don't have a good reason for it, then what will you do switch back and forth, whatever is easy, that's what you will do. So they're discussing amongst themselves in order to reconfirm their faith? What if and when it has to

move home? They said to each other, these youths, that when you have withdrawn from them from who from your people, the word it doesn't mean they learn? What does it mean to separate oneself to move away? So they say that when you separate yourself from who, from whom them, who does them refer to?

When you separate yourself from them? Think logically, these guys are talking amongst themselves and they're saying when you separate yourself from them,

the nation, the people, the rest of society, they say when you separate yourself from them, when you have withdrawn from them, when they are buena, and that which they worship in Allah except Allah, meaning you leave them and you also leave their gods, then where should you go? Because you see when you leave something, then you need to do something else. Correct. Because you can't be empty handed. You can't be in nowhere you leave something and you adopt something. So they said when you leave these people and their gods then for a wall, then retreat for all Hamza well, you introduce them we learned our la ma what does it mean literally to take shelter so far will retreat meaning take

shelter in find shelter in El Caffee? Ill Caffee the cave meaning go to the cave and take shelter over there as if they're planning your they decided from before that cave that particular cave will meet their will go there, everybody goes there

they made a plan for all it Alkaff they said when you go to the cave what will happen yen shall lock on Rob Bukom your Lord will spread for you you ensure known chain natural natural

is to unfold a book you know for example, a book is closed and you open it. So what was closed what was hidden is now spread open right and from this the word Nisha is also used for spreading scattering like for example rain falls and it spreads everywhere. Right as it falls from the sky. It reaches the entire you know area so this is no shadow on your house. There's rain in your backyard there's rain in your front yard there's rain on the street, there's rain right now Shara spread everywhere. So the said when you go to the cave, then what will happen your Lord will spread for you Mira Mati from his mercy. He will spread His mercy for you when you hate luck on and he will prepare

for you, man. I'm gonna come regarding your affair meanings

The situation that you're in, he will create for you multifocal ease. Gentleness, multifocal from Raphael cough riff. RIFF means to be gentle. And when someone is gentle that it's easy to deal with.

Right. And when something is gentle and soft, it's easy to work with it. So menfolk meaning gentleness or metaphor can also be understood as a tool through which ease is obtained, meaning he will create circumstances for you, that will create ease for you that will bring ease for you.

Now think about it. Just imagine these are young guys.

And young people, yes, they're very strong willed, but at the same time, they can get easily pressured by peer pressure. Right? And even if they know they're supposed to do something, they don't do it. Why? Because their friends are doing something else.

They like to be like everybody else. But look at the confidence of these men. That how they say, Leave what your people are doing. Go to the cave. And yes, it's going to be scary. It's a very daunting task. Yes, you're leaving everybody. You're leaving everything. However, expect good from Allah. Allah will make matters easy for you. Because you know what? Following the deen becomes difficult, it is difficult. However, the one who keeps driving than Allah definitely makes things easier for him.

You just heard about the story of Buddha lowering the how there was a time he was tortured in Makkah, he was persecuted. Did he give up? No, he remained firm.

And then what happened? Did Allah create ease for him? Yes, he migrated to Medina. And then there was so much ease for him. So he NGO la comme la boca Marathi, where you hate la common American Morocco. But when does this ease come? When will this is GM,

when you will leave and go to the cave, when you will take a step.

Because when a person leaves something for the sake of Allah, then Allah who will replace it for him with something that is better. And this is you can say a universal law,

you cannot get something better unless you give up what you have.

You cannot get something better, unless you leave what you have, what you are upon. So for example, if you want to, you know, for instance, improve your physical health,

then do you have to make some adjustments to your lifestyle?

Your sleep pattern, your eating habits, workout exercise? Do you have to make any changes to that? Yes, you do.

Many times you have to give up your favorite foods, isn't it? Why in order to be more physically fit? It's a huge, it's a big change. It's a big sacrifice, you have to leave something that's very dear to you. Imagine someone who loves their chocolate or who loves their sugar in their tea, or sugar in their coffee? Or who loves their soda. But then what happens? They want to become physically more fit. What is one of the first things that they have to give up sugar? Is it an easy change? No. But only when they will give that up? Will they get something better. So remember, whenever you have to leave something for the sake of Allah, you're not actually losing.

You're gaining something that is better. You're gaining something that is better. Because if you keep holding on to what you have that is cheap, that is of little value, your hands are full, your heart is full, it's already occupied. When you will get rid of what's filling you only then you can get something better. Which is why the person who sacrifices his dunya than Allah will give him what is better and what is that O'Hara and not just there even in this world, Allah who will give him what is far better than what he has left? What you hate Lachman Enrico Melfa Ibrahim escena. He had to leave his home for the sake of Allah. He had to leave his family also. But what happened? Did

Allah leave him empty handed? No. Allah gave him a better family.

Allah gave him a better place. There's so many examples of this. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam he was in Makkah. He had to leave Makkah, the city where he was born in the city where he was raised the city that has the house of Allah. He had to leave that he had to do Hijra he went to Medina, did he find something over there?

Of course, he found such supporters the likes of which can never be found in human history. I'm sorry. Then Allah gave him victory. Victory over MCCA did not come by staying in Makkah. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam had to leave Makkah, go to Medina and then the victory came. So don't be afraid to leave what you have for the sake of Allah. And whenever you're giving something up for Allah sake, then always, always expect good. Always hope for what is better from Allah. Because what does Allah subhanaw taala say I am as my servant thinks I am. Look at these men. Are they expecting something better from Allah?

Are they do you see hope in their words? Where?

Where do you see hope? Yen? Sure luck on Rob Bucco mill mera Mati where you hate law calm and Enrico mitfa. Ca, Allah will make things easy for you. Don't worry, yes, it's tough, but it will get easier.

Also, we see over here that these men, they chose to leave.

If you think about it, why didn't they fight with the rest of the people? Why didn't they just grab a bunch of knives and go and kill everybody?

When that'd be more satisfying?

Answer me.

Why didn't they do that?

There were seven of them guys. strong willed. I'm sure there were strong in their body. Also, one of them at least they could have come up with a plan to go and kill the king. Maybe that'd be good. Kill a cafe, you know, like just slit his throat or something? Why didn't they do that?

Yes.

They wouldn't gain anything from it.

You see, when you are a minority, when you're doing something different from the rest of the people, you have two options. And two options when there's a rift meaning when what you're doing is not acceptable to the people, then you have two options over there.

One option is that you fight

you become violent. All right.

But that is only beneficial if you have the strength.

Right. Like for example, the Muslims were in Mecca, or middle Dillard who was he not strong willed?

Was he not strong willed? Was he not powerful? Hemsedal? The Allahu Anhu? Was he not powerful? Yes, he was. If they wanted both of them, could they not have easily gone to Abuja, Helen, finish him? They could have done that. Right. But what were the Muslims told in Makkah, repeatedly?

No fighting, no fighting? Hold back your hands. Wait.

And then what happened? When they moved to Medina? When they increased in their number? When they increased in their strength? Then what happened? The command to fight came?

Right? So what does this show to us that when you are few,

then becoming violent, or clashing with the people. This is not going to create ease, it's going to cause further problems.

Now this is at a big scale. Let's come down to our level.

Sometimes it happens at home, you have an issue over some religious matter with your family. All right, like for example, you don't want to take a loan that is haram but your parents are forcing you.

Your parents are telling you every day you have to you have to I'm not giving you an option. You must. And you say Mom, how can you tell me do something haram and you know you're fighting with them constantly fighting with them, constantly arguing with them?

Is that going to worsen the situation? Or is it going to solve it?

What is it going to do?

It's going to worsen the situation right? It's going to create further problems like what your dad will said that says you're not going to alHuda you go to this alHuda and you got brainwashed. I've had enough of this no more studying Quran and all these Halaqaat you go to Hollis finished, focus on your studies. And you must do that and obey your parents.

Did that argument bring a greater good or greater harm? greater harm right.

Now, the other option is that you listen to them.

Now if you listen to them, that's also a problem. How can you listen to them? Because if somebody is studying you do something wrong. You cannot listen to them.

How can you you're agreeing to go to the fire just because somebody's telling you to do something

So then what's the third option? What do you do?

What these guys did avoidance, I'm not saying run away from home, okay?

Avoid the conflict.

Avoid that discussion.

You know, every time that topic is brought up, you change the subject. You say, Yeah, inshallah I will go to school, just a few months, I need a break, and shall I'm going to work and, you know, save some money, come up with a plan. But every time the argument becomes heated up, it's creating a rift, avoid,

avoid.

And this is something very, very important, a very important skill that women must have.

You know that, because sometimes it happens that, for example, a woman gets married, and her husband says, you know, this hijab of yours, I don't really like it.

Or he says, you know, this Quran class that you've been going to, I think you've done enough of that.

Then what should you do?

Don't dwell on these issues.

Just laugh it away, you know, change the topic.

You know, for instance, there is a friend of mine, and she was saying that how, when she got married, and she moved to the States, and they were living in a place where there were no Muslims even, right, and she would cover her face. And her husband would say to her, Don't cover your face, don't do that, take it off, take it off, take it off constantly, you would say that. So she would say that every time he would say, I would just make a joke, or, you know, say something funny, or just distract him with something else? And say, forget about it. Just look at this. You know, let's go here. Let's go do this. Change the topic? Get over it. What happens is that when somebody tells

us something that we don't like, we say, How dare you? Who are you to tell me, I'm not your child, I'm an adult, I can make my own decisions.

And the other person, they have ego issues, right? And they say How dare you say something like this to me, and they're a fight broke out.

So there's some things that you know, you can discuss, and hopefully you will come to a resolution. But there are other things where you see the other person is not ready to even accept what you're doing. So they need time to accept you. They need time to accept your decision. So just wait, wait, don't we learn in the Quran, the Prophet salallahu Salam is stalled. Keep waiting for a hill carefully. And I'm Hill Homer away that give them time, give them time, because every time you bring this up, the other person is gonna get agitated.

For instance, your brother doesn't pray. And you want him to pray. It's lower time. And he's not praying, he's watching TV. And you say, Why are you watching TV should be praying right now? Is he going to pray? He's going to say Go away.

Don't talk to me.

And then you're going to say something he's going to ignore you completely. Give time. Give time, be easy, and Allah will create ease. And when there is a conflict, some matters, you can resolve through communication, whatever other matters, there is no solution than what's the best option. avoid, avoid talking about it, avoid discussing it, avoid confrontation, avoid conflict. And this is basically Hijra avoidance avoidance policy.

This doesn't mean that everything we begin to avoid talking about it, avoid dealing with it. No, there's some things where avoidance is necessary. So we see that these men they silently left avoiding any clash, any conflict. They gave up their rights, hoping that Allah subhanaw taala will help them and it Allah helped them. Of course, he did. What are Shamsa and you would see the sun, meaning if you were there, when these men were sleeping in the cave, you would see the sun either fall out when it rose to lower talam or to rise. So when the sun would rise, does that well, it would.

Does our Oh, I'm Caffee him, it would incline away from their cave.

Now this word does our rule is from the letters ze Yeah, or from the word zero, and zero, what does it mean to visit all right, and literally the word zero means to bend your chest. Because you know, when people visit each other, when they meet each other, they come forward they embrace each other or they you know, shake each other's hands. So in that there's a little bit of, you know, bending forward I'm not saying so do all right. This is just slightly bending forward in order to meet someone.

Now, does our is to meet one another, but as our run what do you think this I will run means to turn away,

to turn away to not meet to not touch

So the sun as it would rise, it would incline away. I'm cuffing him from their cave that have you mean towards the right, meaning the sun would rise from the right side. And as it would rise, no direct sunlight would fall on the cave, or would come on these guys when they were sleeping.

Were either horrible. And when the sun would set from Guru duck real boom, it would cut them, Doc Carrillo from cough robot called is to literally cut to clip off.

So it cut them meaning, you know, when you're cutting something, you're cutting a side of it, right? So it shows like the sun would just touch them at the time of sunset, as the sun would be setting, there would be some sunlight that would fall on these men or on their cave, that the CheMin on the left side of the cave. So what is it true that the cave was facing south because the sun would rise from there, right, and it would set on their left. And at the time of sunrise, no direct sunlight would would fall upon them. But at the time of sunset, direct sunlight would fall upon them.

Why do you think this was the case? Imagine if the sun rose in front of them or set in front of them, then what would happen? What would happen they would wake up right?

So this is how the cave was so perfect in their situation, while home fee and they were in fudged what they mean. And opening in the cave, the word federal from fair gene Well, an open space a cavity in like, for example, you get a rock a whole chicken, raw chicken. And then if you cut it up, it's if you look at it, it's hollow from inside, right? That's the cavity. Right? It's an opening. So this is what Fajr is. So it seems like the cave was spacious. It was airy. It wasn't tight, small in which they could barely fit. No, it was airy. It was big, a home feed for two or three men and they were lying down comfortably, you know seven of them slipping away. Then he come in a Atilla

This is from the signs of Allah. What is how these people left there, how these guys left their nation, how they came to this cave, and how the sun rose from one side and set from the other. And how you know the cave was facing the perfect direction and how it was airy. All of this is from the signs of Allah may Allah whoever Allah guides for one more 30 Then he is rightly guided when my YouTube lil and the one whom Allah sends a stray felon 30 della who Walia Murshida then you shall never find for him a protector, a guide a wali who is more shaped mean someone who will guide them or share this from Russian doll, Russia, Russia guidance. So murshid is the one who guides so the

one whom Allah lets to go astray, you can never find a protecting guide for him.

So what do we learn in this idea? That how? When a person takes one step in the way of Allah, Allah helps him in so many ways. This cave was ideal for them. Its size, its location, its mouth, the direction it was facing. Everything was in their favor. Why?

Why? Because Allah subhanaw taala decided that.

Remember that? Allah subhanaw taala is the one who has given us certain commands to follow. Right? It says I'm gonna shut up. And they're good for us, even if they seem difficult. And at the same time, Allah subhanaw taala, who decides our Amma County, that what should happen in our life?

How the situation that we're in.

So the fact that the cave was like this, it was the decision of Allah, this was Allah's help. So the one whom Allah guides, whom Allah direct whom Allah helps, then he is guided, and a person who's abandoned by Allah, that who will protect him who will guide him.
