Taleem al Quran 2012 – P18 172C Tafsir Al-Muminun 31-43

Surah Menon is number 31.

In the previous AI ads in the solar so far we learned at the beginning about who the monthly Hoan are, who the successful ones are. And who are they for the F lehle. Me known those who believe. So success begins with iman. That's the first step to success. But it's not the last step. It's the first because Eman is a journey. All right. And in this journey, a person is busy doing one good thing after another, all right. So for the Aflac Helmut Menon believers are successful, who possess such and such and such qualities. And then we learned about who is not successful, who is it that is not successful, those who do not have Amen, and an example of such people was given and who were

they the people off? No Alayhis Salam, that when they disbelieved they were not successful, what happened to them, they were drowned, they were finished. And Allah's pontardawe says in the v valleca 18. We're in Kaduna. llamo butylene. Indeed in that are surely signs lessons and indeed we are ever testing llamo battalion mobile Tallinn mobitel, meaning one who tests one who puts to trial. So in other words, Allah subhanaw taala always and continuously puts people to trial. He puts us in test IB Tila, this is part of life. Why? To see who will survive who will make it to the end and who will give up what incandela Will battalion Allah always tests the servants and the one who

passes all these tests he is the one who will succeed Therma and shirt Nam embody him calm and hurryin sama then and Shatner we produced from known Chien Hamza in sharp right in sharp What does inshallah mean to produce to cause something to grow Nash creation. All right. So in chat to cause something to grow to produce it. By the way the word in sharp how was it written?

In sharp it's one word All right, I live known and sheen are connected. All right. Known sheen Elif are connected followed by Hamza in chat means to produce, all right. And in sha Allah, what is that?

In? If that's a separate word shatta is a verb, Shah he willed, Allahu Allah. Because many times we miss spell this word. Many times I've seen when in sha Allah is written, it's written as one word in sha, Allah, You know what that would mean? If you write in chat together and Allah produce Allah not with of Allah. What does that mean? So make sure you write this correctly in sha Allah in Arabic, how is it in separately Shah a separately Allah separately? Okay, so anyway, so mon Chetna, then we produced mimbar the him after them after who after the people of Nora Karnan. A generation are hurryin of others.

Meaning after the people of New who are destroyed, then Allah subhanaw taala brought about a new generation of people for all the Sunnah, then we sent fie him in them rasuna Minh home, a Messenger from among them, meaning soon after the people of New holy Salam, there was another generation and that generation came about from who the survivors off the great flood. All right. And those people very soon what happened even they deviated even they were in need of guidance. So Allah subhanaw taala sent to them a messenger from themselves meaning a messenger who was one of them a human being whom they knew

and what did that messenger say um that orrible Allah worship Allah All of you should worship only Allah. Why? Because mela calm you do not have min Illa in any god or you will who other than Him. The reality is that there is only one God, you have only one God. If Allah that the Quran, then will you not fear meaning? Will you not fear Allah? Because he is your only God? And when you're associating partners with him, don't you have fear of Allah? What are you doing?

Which was this nation and who was this prophet? It is said that after new hurleys Salam, right, the next messenger that was sent the next Rasul that was sent was who the Alehissalaam and who the listener was sent to the people off.

All right, so who there so now when he was sent as a messenger to his people,

What did he say? What was the main message that he conveyed of the hate of worshipping Allah alone of worshiping Allah, that all people fulfill the purpose of your lives? Or with the Lucha Mela, Camila Henro

instead of three out of 569 We learned that who there listen and also said to his people, that what Guru is Jellico hola fair, a member the comi know that remember, Allah has made you successors after the people of New. So which nation came after the people of New the people off who are listening the people of odd what common manner Oh, and the Mueller, the chiefs the elite, the eminent ones? Men call me he from his people, they said they spoke and who were they? Alladhina Cafaro they were those who had disbelieved what cannibal and they had also rejected, denied, Billy called a hero with the meeting of the hereafter.

The Mullah were who the chiefs were who the elders of that nation were, who were they believers? No. Allah says there were those who had disbelieved in who in the messenger, in the call of the messenger and secondly, they rejected the meeting of the hereafter. What is the meeting of the hereafter? live call, meeting the hereafter meeting of the hereafter? What is that, on the day of judgment in the hereafter? What is it that we're going to meet? Who is it that we're going to meet Allah subhanaw taala what is it that we're going to meet our deeds? Our end our final destination? So they rejected that meeting, they rejected that final outcome. We're at trough now home Phil

hieratic. duniya what a trough now home and we had given them luxury Phil hieratic. Dunya in the life of this world, a trough now from the root letters tab raw fare. And what does it mean by a trough a trough is to give someone ease and comfort, abundance, right of blessings, luxury convenience. So in other words, a trough now Philhealth dunya, meaning we have given them a lot of ease and comfort, wealth, money, conveniences of this life, meaning they were living easy, comfortable, lives better off now and feel higher to dunya. You see there all types of people in this world. Some people, Allah subhanaw taala has given them little.

So what happens, they are uncomfortable or they have little, and because of that they're suffering. Either they're hungry in the morning, or they're hungry in the evening. They have money for one thing, they do not have money for another. And then there are some other people whom Allah Subhana Allah has given much to. So what kind of life are they living, they have so much that they don't know what to do with it. So much money, so much time, so much food? I mean, think about it. Sometimes we have so much food in our houses in our kitchens in our refrigerators that we don't know what to do with it. Have you ever seen after a party what happens? All right, there's so much food

leftover. The host is begging everybody please take this food please. You take this you take that because I don't want to keep all of this food to myself.

This is a trap. This is a trough that there is abundance. There is luxury, there is ease there is convenience. A trough now home Phil hieratic dunya. And the more a person has been given, the more grateful he should be. Right, the more obedient he should be. But the exact opposite happens. That the more we have, the more we tend to forget Allah subhanaw taala.

The more we have, the more we complain, the more we focus, isn't that so? We have so much food sometimes, but still, we will complain about one particular ingredient that is missing from the food. Right? Or one particular vegetable that's missing from the salad. We will notice that and we overlook everything else that we have. So up off now I'm Phil hired to duniya

happiness does not come from having more happiness comes from what from gratitude and gratitude can be is in fact, even for a little bit. So what I thought of Now Phil had to dunya such people what was their response? What did they say to their messenger? They said, My Heather Ellerbee shadow mythical calm marhaba This is not meeting this person. This guy. He's nothing except bash out on mythical COMM A human being like you being there's nothing special about him. He just another human being just another person, someone who's just like us. And what's the proof of that? Yeah, cool.

He eats mimma from that which the Kelowna men who you all eat from, he eats the same food that you eat, while shabu and he drinks mimma from that which that should a boon, you all drink, he drinks the same water, he eats the same food, he drinks the same water. There is nothing special about him. He's just a human being. So you know what, don't pay any attention to what he's saying.

When did a prophet ever claim that he was not a human being? Which Prophet claim that which Prophet claimed that he was not a human being?

There was no prophet whoever made such a claim. In fact, the prophets of Allah said that they were human beings, in Toluca have, what do we learn all in Nama and our Basha room mythical, the prophets are a lot of Santa was told, tell the people that say, I am only a human being like you, I am a human being. The prophets were told to say this to their nations, I am a human being.

But the people, they rejected the prophets of Allah, why? Because of the fact that they were human beings. We see that new hairless and I'm also his nation. What did they say that this is only a scheme that you've come up with in order to become better than us in order to show your superiority above us? For our own also, you know, accused Musar Salam have something similar, right? The fact is that the prophets of Allah were human beings. Why? Because they were meant to be role models for their nations. But there are people What did they say? Because they're human beings, we're not going to listen to them. We're not going to believe in them.

The thing is, that when does it easy for us to listen to someone to follow their footsteps? To accept their advice? When,

when they're similar? Or when they're completely different from us? When they're similar? Right? Like, for example, if there is a person who's lived a very happy life, in the sense that since they've been married, they've had a very beautiful relationship with their spouse. All right. And if they're giving marriage advice, would you accept it? Would you? Okay? And if there is another person who's divorced, all right, or who was always complaining about their husband always, always complaining about their children miserable in their family life? Would you take advice from them? No way? Not at all. Okay, forget about marriage when it comes to food and health. Right? Who would you

take nutrition advice from?

Someone who has a degree in that field or someone who doesn't have any knowledge about it, right? And in their health, also, they're not the greatest. They're overweight or they're sick. And then they're giving you advice on how to eat heart healthy stuff. All right, who would you take advice from? Who would you trust? Who would you listen to? The one whom you can relate with? Right? The one who knows what he's talking about? So for human beings, also, what would be easy to accept a messenger who's a human being, or to accept a messenger who's an angel?

Which kind of messenger, a human being? Right? Because if angels were sent as messengers, what excuse would we make? Oh, you're an angel. You don't know me? You don't understand me. So you don't tell me you don't advise me? Right? Just like we say to our parents, sometimes you didn't grew up in this country. Right? Or we tell our elders, you don't know what I go through at school, you have no idea? Correct. So Allah subhanaw taala sent human messengers for our benefit. But what happened? Instead of looking at it as a positive thing, people viewed it as a negative thing. And they rejected the messengers based on the fact that they were human beings. And they said, well, in and

surely if a cartoon Verschuren if you obeyed a human being that is Mithila Khan, that is like you in a coma indeed, you even then Lohaus your own, surely losers. If you follow a human being like you, you would be a loser. Is that true?

If we follow a human being, does that mean we'll be losers? Think about it. If there is a person who has knowledge of business and trade and making money, and so on and so forth.

And you say, You know what, I'm going to follow this guy. Alright, the kind of business that he went to the way he worked out his business, I'm going to do exactly as he's done. Do you have a higher chance of success?

Yes, you do. Why? Because there is experience there. When it comes to anything that we want to succeed in, what do we look at? What do we look at examples, right? People who've done the same stuff so that we can just copy them, we can just emulate them. When it comes to the matters of this world, we always look at people. When it comes to religion, then why is it that people say, in a comida, Lohaus, Iran, if you follow a human messenger, you would be a loser? That's not true.

You're not following just any human being? Which human being? Are you following? A messenger? Someone who receives revelation from Allah subhanaw taala.

Their message is so ironic, because here they are, like ordering the people what to do, and like not to listen to a human but like, don't listen to humans. Yeah, they are the one saying if you follow a human being, you will be a loser. Right? But who are they in reality themselves? Leaders? What are the people doing? They're following them. Right? They want to be leaders themselves. And at the same time, they're saying, don't follow a human being because then you would be a loser. Now, many times it happens that people find it difficult to follow a human messenger. Like, for example, many times people will have this objection. Why do we have to follow the Prophet salallahu Salam, why? Why do

we have to follow him and everything the way he it? And the way he prayed? And if he slept in a particular way, lying down on his right side with his hand under his face, why should we sleep in the same manner? Why do we have to say the same words that he said?

Why?

Yes, because he did everything in the best manner. law called the cannula, comfy Rasulullah, he also atone Hassan in the Messenger of Allah, you will find an excellent example. Have you seen books? Forget about books, documentaries, on the lives of successful people.

There are so many, right, just the other day I saw Steve Jobs. All right, so many documentaries about him. And these are just documentaries, books, even so many. There's this famous book called The Seven Habits of Highly Effective individuals. And it's pretty much discussing all the habits or in particular, seven really big habits, that very successful people found that they're using their lives. So again, in even in terms of success, you're taking examples from people who have already succeeded, so that you can try and implement them in your own life to try and succeed. Exactly. So when it comes to this life when it comes to the matter of the author or when it comes to the matter

of Dean. Don't we need to know who was the most successful person? Right? He was Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam, okay, what did he do? How did he live? How did he eat? How did he sleep? What were his sleeping habits like? How did he deal with people? Because the more we follow Him the closer we will be to success and in the Quran, What is Allah tell us that call in content to hipbone Allah flutterby Rooney your bib come Allah, Allah who will love you if you follow the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so anyway whether in authority and Bashar Mithila calm in a comedian la hos Iran then they said a URI dokkan does he promise you unknown that indeed you either when MIT to whom you

all have died from moat what quantum and you have become to Robin dust where a woman and bones Florin of alum unknown that indeed you Mokra June you will be brought forth you will be taken out now they're criticizing the message. First they were criticizing the messenger right now the message they say that does he tell you that when you have died and you have turned into dust and bones you're going to be taken out taken out of were out of your graves meaning brought forth out from the drop in a new creation? In other words, does he say that you will be resurrected?

They find this very amazing. They find this very surprising. This is why they say hey hey, hey hat Lima two or dune? Hey HURT How far how far is that which you are promised me This is impossible. It can never happen. Hey hat what does it mean by hat? Hey, hat is basically a Kalama of birth Kalama a word that gives the meaning of birth of you know something being really far distance. So he had meaning this is very far, very far from happening very far from reality. This is impossible far from the mark it can never occur. Hey hat and notice how it's mentioned twice. Hey, hat Hey hat Lima two. I don't know where

they said in here.

It is not a law except higher tuna duniya our life of this world they said it's only this life. Number two, we die one here and we live meaning our existence is just here in the life of this world when some of us die, others live on and very soon they also die. Woman new and we are not be Mbah routine at all wants to be resurrected mean there is no resurrection.

In Hua he is not Illa except Raju Loon, a man who has a star on Allah Allah He Caliban who has fabricated against Allah ally. Just a man, they say this prophet of yours, whoop, are they his son? Um, who is he just a man who was made up a lie about Allah, woman? And we are not law who for him be more money at all ones who believe meaning we're never going to believe in Him. So the manner what are the basically telling the people, you should follow us? We're not going to believe in Him because of this, and this and this reason, so you also don't believe in Him? Now think about it. If what the Prophet has said is false, if he's really making it up,

then ignore him.

But the reaction of the mullah all the things that they say about the messenger, and about what the messenger has said, What does it show that they are feeling very threatened? Right? It's as if they have to really go beyond in order to prove that the messenger should not be followed. They're trying their best to ensure that people don't listen to the messenger. Why are they doing this? Because they're feeling threatened. In the back of their minds, they know that this is the truth. Right? Like, for example, if you haven't done anything wrong, you have no fear, you're calm, you're relaxed. But if a mistake has been made, and you're afraid that it will be exposed, then what will

happen? What will happen? You will try your best one thing after the other in order to cover up that mistake. Right? Like, for example, you know, just recently, somebody was telling me that one of their co workers is calling them again and again, and again, like 10 times they call them in one morning, and they're wondering, what's the matter here? What's wrong here? And what was the message? Please don't go today. Because you know, I really have to do something. So come after such and such time, you're like, Okay, fine, I won't go. And then when they went later on, they found out that all the blame had been put on them. All right. So this person wanted to make sure that the reality was

not exposed. All right. I mean, turn phone calls and messages upon messages. Why are you feeling threatened? If this person goes, my lies are going to be exposed? Right? So we see similar over here, what are the leaders doing? They're just going after the messenger in order to make sure that the people don't listen to him. What happened with Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? What did the machine of Makkah do? They would go to the marketplaces, they would go to the places where the hijab had been camping, and they would go to the streets or the pathways that lead into Makkah. And every, you know, caravan, or every group of people that was coming in, they would warn them, there

is a man inside. Don't listen to him. He's this and this and this. Don't listen to him. So you know what happened? This one particular man who had come from Yemen, right. He was told there is a man in Makkah, he's Majnoon. All right. He's gone mad. Don't listen to him. Just ignore him. So this person thought, You know what, I'm a doctor. I can cure people. So he didn't say anything to the Quraysh. He went around in Makkah looking for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, alright, because he wanted to cure the Prophet sallahu wa salam. Alright, so he went and he spoke to the Prophet sallallahu. And he said, I've heard that you're suffering and, you know, I'm a doctor, I can cure

you. And the prophets of Allah is and said, Okay, sit down, and he recited the Quran to him, and that man accepted Islam.

So it backfired, right all the schemes of the machine backfired. So anyway, here also we see this extreme reaction from the people of whom earnest

so what happened? caller who earnest Salam, he said a rugby Oh my lord on Sony helped me be Mecca, the Boonie because they have denied me. My people have rejected me. They've called me a liar. They're not listening to me. Allah, Allah subhanaw taala said, I'm

Polly Lin, Amma and MA and then Pauline, what does it mean?

From all right, but um, remember that it also gives a meaning of a way. All right. So I'm after. I'm not bullying and MMA over here is extra to show

Very, very little. So are our Ma after very, very little and Colleen even more little, in other words, within a short time in a little while, very soon, let us be hunta surely there will become nadie mean ones regretful. Very, very soon these people will be regretful. In other words, very soon, they will be finished, and they will be left with only regrets. Notice the word la used to be Hona this has come many times before and it will come in Sharla many times again, what's the root of this word? sought by how sober what the sober mean? Morning, right now, morning. What does it mean a fresh start a new beginning. Right? You slept and then you woke up it's morning it's a fresh start.

So, Allah used to be 100 Literally it means they will enter the morning they will begin as All right. And now literally, they will enter the morning. What it means is they will become to understand the use of marijuana is not to be understood literally. Right, it means they will become nerdy mean, regretful they used to be human anatomy.

So what happened for ohada to mostly had to Bill Hawk for a harder time, so it sees them as say hi to the shriek. Bill happy in truth. The shriek seized them. What does it mean by slay? Ha, we have done this word earlier. Also say hi is a loud scream. Alright, a loud sound so to shut it. Have you ever heard wood being caught?

Would being caught? Have you ever passed by a factory or something like that? It would be good. What kind of sound is it?

It's really loud. Right? Likewise, have you ever heard cloth being ripped? I'm sure you have right cloth being ripped. So that sound that is a kind of a site where it's like screeching almost. Right? Tape. Have you ever heard tape being taken off right quickly from the tape roll? Right? It's a screeching sound. So multiply that sound by 1000s and 1000s of times that is like a loud screeching, tearing, screaming, piercing thunderous noise this is what say her is so how are these people destroyed by noise and the word slay her because of this also applies to our the punishment not just a scream or a blast noise but also are the punishment for other two mostly had to be held? What does

it mean by this bill help in truth, meaning the site how came upon them the punishment came upon them. And there was no avoiding it. There was no repelling it there was no running away from it. It came built how it came to stay. It came to do its job. Federal now home so we made them go

into stubble. They were turned into Wassa Wassa is basically the garbage that floats on water. garbage that floats on water. So think about it. If there is a flood, all right, or it's been raining a lot, then what happens if you see water collecting somewhere or moving on the side? Right? What do you see floating on top of it? Things that don't have much weight leaves, broken twigs and branches, right? And then sometimes paper or things like that. Things that have no value, no value at all no weight. If they had any weight, they would have settled to the bottom. But because they have no worse what happens they float to the surface of the water and the water just takes them

away. Wherever it goes. Fajr Aloha Musa we made them into garbage for border the little Komik Lolly mean, so birth, what does work mean? Distance right meaning be far removed away away far away. Little comment what I mean for those who do lol and for the people who are wrongdoing, far removed from Allah's mercy. Were these people, you know the people of odd as you can see from their reaction. How were they extremely arrogant people. We're not going to accept a human messenger. If you follow human messenger, you will be a loser. And what's so special about him anyway, he eats the same food he drinks the same water. There is nothing special about him. What does that show their

pride?

And what happened to the people who were very proud and arrogant. They were turned into garbage

I remember how you said that the punishment is like mistake is similar to the sin, similar to the sin that's committed. So just like the things they were saying were, like, painful to hear and like, not true and stuff, just like that their punishment was also painful to hear.

Exactly. Look at how they attacked the messenger verbally. They spread so much propaganda about him. Right. And what happened? They heard the noise that destroyed them. They were destroyed by noise. They made noise against the messenger, and they were destroyed by noise.

Yeah, I mean, even in the story of new harlot Salam, over here, it doesn't say how long he waited. Right? Of course, in other parts of the Quran, we learned 950 years, knew her lesson and waited and then he asked for the punishment. Likewise, good on SNM he didn't instantly ask Allah for punishment. This was after a long time when he did his best. And when he saw no positive reaction from the people, that's when he prayed against them. Right? Robin Sony? Oh, my Lord helped me be back on the moon because they rejected me. It wasn't like after one conversation, all right over here. It says though, the whole incident has been summarized. Okay, it's been summarized over here.

Incident soldier is six to eight. Allah says alarm thought okay for ferula Buka behrad Ilma, the artillery mad allottee lumea flockmen through Halfhill. Beloved, have you not seen what your Lord did with the people of odd? Who are the people of Earth they were Iran, meaning also known as Iran who had lofty pillars, huge lofty pillars, lavish buildings, the likes of whom had never been created in the land. So they were a mighty nation. They had they possessed a lot of strength. But what happened when they were arrogant? their strength, their wealth, it didn't matter. They were turned into garbage. And how exactly were they destroyed? Intro to haka is six to eight Allah says,

what a ma don't for Liko be re Han Sol sadhana Aditya. What was that say her that the people of Earth were destroyed by a screaming violent wind.

Screaming

violent wind. Do you hear the wind right now?

They were destroyed by wind. This is why when Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi wasallam would see a storm approaching a storm approaching like a cloud approaching or wind blowing furiously. He would become afraid and he would seek Allah's protection. Allahu medalla. Rhea Han, Walter Jarrell Henry Han or Allah make it real and not real. What is react? React is a plural of read. And in the Quran the word react is used for winds that bring mercy rain blessings and RE is used for wind that brings punishment like a hot or fierce or extremely cold wind.

So the prophets of Allah said I'm also became nervous when wind would blow when a storm would approach

so what a madam for Olli could bury himself sir in it and this wind Sahara Hurlingham sobre la erlin with Imani at a yurman. Who Salma this wind Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession blowing constantly for so long. And what happened then? Photographer toma fie house saw Saara so you would see the people there in fallen, under whom urges who knuckling ha we're as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees. Just imagine just the trunks of the trees fallen on the ground, lifeless, dead bodies for health are all the home members here. So do you see any remains of them today? Do we see any of their remains today? We don't. Their houses, their buildings, wherever

they built whatever they lived in whatever they decorated whatever they collected, it's finished.

Some and shut Nam embody him Corona and hurryin then we produced after them. Other generations Quran is a plural off on more generations, meaning after the people of odd what happened when they were destroyed from those that survived meaning those who believed and who did not die in this punishment, those who believed in who they are and Islam and there were few found them Allah subhanaw taala produced a new generation and after them another generation and after them another generation meaning life went on.

They finished but other people came

and the same thing will happen with us. We will go and others will take our plate

We're not here forever and each time people deviate it, Allah subhanaw taala sent guidance to them. In surah nisa 165 We learn Lucilla MOBA Shireen woman zerene Li la Hakuna in Nazjatar the Allahu jetten Baroda Russel that we sent messengers as Bringers of good news and Warner's, Allah subhanaw taala sent messengers to warn people to bring good news to them. And this is also a Rama, a huge Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala because you see, Allah subhanaw taala when He created us, and He equipped us with hearing with sight, with intellect with hearts, and he also gave us many signs through which we can obtain guidance. Yet he did not leave us to our intellect

he did not leave us just to our fitrah What did he do? He sent guidance he sent messengers and this is his Rama he didn't leave us over here in this world figure it out yourself know. Allah sent messengers This is his Rama madness vehicle but what was the reaction of the people myrtus be coming oh, Martin. Man, not just before it will proceed it will get ahead men Oh, Martin any nation agenda its term warmer and not yes, the rune they will remain meaning they will remain behind thereafter. Or they seek to defer. What does it mean? That no person and no nation ends before their due time, nor do they remain beyond their term for each individual for each community for each nation is a

term that is fixed. We know that death is certain every human being will die. Right? Every single person no one is here forever. We have to die. And that death is coming. It's gonna come sooner or later. And once that time arrives, that's it. We won't have any more time. That time cannot come before that time of death that time of expiry cannot come before nor can it be delayed.

It cannot be delayed. There is a fixed time for every nation for every people for every individual. And when that time comes then that's it. No more chances. Let's listen to the recitation of these verses
