Taleem al Quran 2012 – P21 216B Tafsir Al-Sajdah 15-16

Arooga bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim

in nama indeed only, you may know he believes Biya Tina in our verses. Only those people believe in our verses which people, people who have the qualities that are described over here.

Those who truly believe in the verses of Allah are who Alladhina those who either when, look, kill be where they are reminded with it, they are reminded of it, meaning those who, when they are reminded with the Ayat of Allah, which I asked, I asked Kony I chattery, whether they are the verses of the Quran, or other ayat, when they are reminded of the Ayat of Allah, look at the word Luquillo. From the keys, the key is to remind, so when they are reminded of meaning someone is reminding them of Allah as if, why is someone reminding them because they knew but they forgot? And does that happen with us? We learn, for example, and I have the Quran, but then we forget about it.

And we forget not that it existed or that it's there, or its meaning. We know its meaning, but we forgot, meaning we weren't thinking about it. We weren't thinking about it in the situation that we were in. We overlooked it. We didn't pay attention to it. We didn't reflect on it. So somebody brought it to our attention.

Either Dookie will be here, when they're reminded of the Ayat of Allah.

And another meeting could also be understood as that you see, as Muslims, we believe in all of the Ayat of Allah. This is Eman. woodmill we believe in all of the iron we believe in the whole Quran. But just because we believe in it doesn't mean we remember it all. We know it all we understand it. All. Right. So the key will be how many when they're taught to have it when they're informed of it. So either look, it will be hard, whether it's new knowledge or a reminder of what they knew previously, basically, when the Ayat of Allah are brought to their attention, when the Quran is recited before them, what is their reaction, hum, Rue, they fall, they fall, her rule from guru ha,

rah, rah hood is to fall down without any order.

Okay, without any order. You see, for example, if you're deciding to just, you know, fall on your bed, or you're standing there and you're deciding to fall on your bed, how is it that you're gonna fall you're looking at where you're gonna go, and then you have your elbow already, and you make sure that you know, your computer, anything is not in the way. So that's planned, falling.

Who rule is unplanned. You weren't thinking about it. You didn't even think that it would happen. So hello, ru, they fall down. Why? This was uncontrollable. This was spontaneous. This was like an uncontrollable reaction.

So what's the reaction? When they hear the verses of Allah? They just fall. They don't stand where they're standing arrogantly, they just fall fall. How Suja then as one's prostrating, suggestion, plural of the word Sajid.

And such the frustration What is it symbolizes humility, surrender, that Oh Allah, I am small.

You are above that Oh Allah, I am in need. I am *y and you are the honey? I don't know. You know, such there is what we're making ourselves, the smallest possible that we can before Allah subhanaw taala

smallest possible that we can because what are we putting on the ground, our forehead, our face? This is what we're doing. And when we are in the state of Sajida that is a state in which we are closest to Allah subhanaw taala so hallucinogen they fall down in frustration and in their schedule. What do they do? What Saba, who behind the robbing him, and they do this be of their Lord, how? By mentioning his hand. They glorify Allah dimensioned his greatness, his perfection. How by praising him, well home lay yes, that could be rude and they are not arrogant. These are who people

Oh who truly believe in the Ayat of Allah. This is what this idea is describing. That when true believers in the Ayat of Allah are reminded of the Quran, when they're thought of something in the Quran, their reaction is of instant submission and humility. It is not a pride. They surrender to Allah's order, admitting their own deficiencies, acknowledging Allah's perfection. So when we look at this idea, it's teaching us what it means to believe in the Ayat of Allah, that first of all, look, you know, they reminded, so believing in the Ayat of Allah means first of all, taking reminder taking a lesson from the Quran also,

that when we listen to the Quran, we analyze ourselves in the light of those verses. We're not thinking about others, we're not thinking about the problems that exist in the world. Were thinking about, well, me,

me.

This is how each and every one of us needs to approach the book of Allah, that what is there in the book of Allah for me? What am I lacking in? What is it that I need to work on? Analyzing oneself?

Secondly, congruent they fall down. What does that show that they admit their fault, so we need to admit our faults also.

Because the Quran is like a mirror, it shows you your true self. The Quran is like a mirror, it shows you where your deficiencies are, and where you are beautiful, where you are ugly, where you need to correct yourself what you need to fix. Doesn't the mirror do that for you? Doesn't do that for you? Why is it that we spent so long standing in front of the mirror checking, constantly checking hijab from the side and from the other side, and from the top and everywhere? Why is it that we have to stare into the mirror so often because we need to see how we look? Because we can't see ourselves we need the help of a mirror. So the Quran also shows us where we are lacking what we

need to improve in. You know, for example, the ayat of surah Gluckman that we learned the advice of Look, man,

this is basically advice for who for every single one of us.

Many times these verses are used to teach children. But I think before teaching children, we need to teach ourselves we need to think about ourselves. So how do they admit their fault admitting one's deficiencies, places that we need to improve? And then thirdly, suggestion, frustration, falling down in frustration to Allah, and frustration, what does that signify humility, surrender acceptance.

This is also a part of Eman in Allah's idea that a person accepts what Allah has said his help. What Allah has said is true. The problem is in me, I need to fix myself, I need to improve myself

as an actor, so Jordan, in such that what do they do, fourthly, sub Bessho, this be gratitude to Allah, for what? For this knowledge for this reminder, for this realization that I am lacking in this, I need to improve in this?

You see, there's two types of reactions that we can have when somebody tells us of our mistakes, either we can get offended that Who on earth are you to tell me?

Have you seen your own faults? And the other reaction is, thank you.

Thank you. Now the thing is that if somebody tells us about some, you know, deficiency in our o'clock, in our manner, we get offended, we get very defensive. They're like, for example, you know, if you did the activity that I told you that tell a child about the advice of Lachman. And the last one in that advice was, Do not shout because the worst of all sounds is the sound of the brain of a donkey. Now, if you tell a child about that, what is he going to be doing constantly checking you? So if a child says to you, you are shouting?

We can get very offended over there. Generally, we do. Somebody tells us you were shouting, what would we do? Give a whole list of reasons and justifications, isn't it?

But if on the other hand, somebody tells us, there's something stuck between your teeth,

no, seriously, a physical deficiency, a physical problem, if somebody tells us about it,

wipe your nose. Somebody says there's something on your hijab, something's on your face. What do we say? Thank you,

isn't it? We thank other people, because they helped us identify a physical problem.

Now the thing is, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't look at our Surah

That's not something that's really valuable before him. What he sees is what he localu Become what are murli calm our hearts and our actions. So, if somebody is telling us about our deficiencies, we don't need to get offended over there. And especially in the Quran, if we see the Quran is showing us our faults, the Quran is exposing to us our problems, our faults, then we need to be grateful to Allah. Thank you Allah for this Quran. All Praise to you Oh ALLAH Alhamdulillah so suck but who will be hamdulillah be him. This is of sugar.

This is out of gratitude.

Well whom layers that we don't and the fifth is layers that we rune. They're not arrogant. They're not arrogant, meaning they're not arrogant to believe in the IRS to follow what they have been reminded of. And total 473 Allah says about rebel Rama and that one Medina Eva Dookie will be it will be him, la mia, la how someone who are omiana those who when they're reminded of the Ayat of their Lord, they don't fall deaf and blind. No, they take benefit.

So every single one of us needs to check. And each person needs to think about themselves that how do I react upon hearing something from the Quran? What is my reaction? Does it lead me to self analysis for personal reflection? Or is it that I'm thinking? Well, there must be some interpretation to this, you know, it's not possible to do this today. You know, there must be a different opinion out there. You know, this is irrelevant. This is impossible. What is going on in our minds when we hear something of the Quran?

Does it lead to self improvement or does it lead to defensiveness? What is our reaction? Those who truly believe Allah says they surrender they just fall won't lay a stuck Bureau

and the one who doesn't fall, the one who doesn't show gratitude, the one who remains there arrogantly, then it means that he doesn't truly believe in the Ayat of Allah.

The Prophet sallallahu sallam, he said, led to JD Lubell Quran do not argue through the Quran. Meaning when you have some debates and discussions, I'm argument, don't use the verses of the Quran to refute other verses, parts of the Quran to refute other parts. Don't do that.

And he said that follow Allah He, in Malmo minute lay your daddy who will Qurani for you level.

The believer when he argues when he's in an argument in a discussion and he's using evidences from the Quran, what happens to the believer, he's defeated. Why is he defeated? Because when the other party is going to use an evidence from the Quran, what is he going to do? Who so Jonathan?

Right, and he said, but the Munna filk the hypocrite, when he debates using the Quran, then what happens fail or liberal? Then he defeats he defeats the other. Why? Because he will even say something to refute an ayah of the Quran.

Because there's no submissiveness over there, what is over there, there's only a stick about.

Now, the thing is that when we come across different ayat in the Quran, when we learn about our deficiencies in the light of the Quran,

we identify our weaknesses. And we realize that yes, I need to work on this, I need to fix this in myself.

And it's hard. Nobody's saying it's easy. It is very difficult, you know, for example, changing the manner of our speech. It's not easy. We're so used to shouting, converting that to gentle speech is going to take time. Likewise, criticism, showing in gratitude, complaining, this is easy. Choosing to show gratitude, this is difficult. Expressing gratitude is difficult. Changing our habits is not easy. It is difficult.

But one is that we blame ourselves, right? We take responsibility for ourselves. And we need the intention to change ourselves. We beg for Allah's help in order to improve ourselves. And this is something good. But the other is that we say no, no, this is impossible. There is no way that I can change myself. I don't change. This is just who I am. Like it or not, this is just how I am.

So what we need to realize is that we have to change ourselves, not the Quran.

Somebody come so I wanted to share an experience. My mom when she gets upset with us or she's irritated you

I noticed that our reaction is usually to just like Be quiet and like go away in a room or something. But one time me and my sister, we decided to say like she was really upset she was she wasn't talking to us. So we went and we hugged her. And we said, we started saying, I love you. And the first few times, she just ignored it. The fifth time, she gave us the most dazzling smile that you could get. And it amazed me that she was so upset like five minutes ago, and now she's smiling and talking with us. So it's just that change of attitude. It's amazing the results and it takes time. But you see, it is possible that we have difficulty in changing ourselves when we cannot

change the Quran. It is part of humility to accept our difficulties, but to deny the Quran

that is pride. So true believers in the Ayat of Allah, who are they a Lavina II then the cure will be her. What's the ayah hallucinogen.

And then they thank Allah that you showed me my deficiencies was a bear who behind your beam and Saba who behind the beam also is an acknowledgment that Allah your Quran is perfect.

The problem is in us, your Quran is perfect, own layer stack rune, and they're not arrogant to believe they're not arrogant to change in our model Dillo on who his examples are mentioned, of how humble he was when the Quran was mentioned, how humble he was when the Quran was recited. That's it.

It has if it doesn't matter who we are, who I am what I used to say, it doesn't matter if Allah's word is there, than my word doesn't matter. This is the submission that we need to bring. You see, every now and then there are situations where loss piled on attests us, where we are challenged to even question our theology, our belief the Quran.

So we need to believe in the Quran on apologetically you know, seriously we need to believe in the Quran without feeling apologetic. This is a last word.

This is Allah speech. And I'm not gonna be sorry for what is in the Quran? Because I believe in it. I'm not going to be sorry for that. I don't need to be sorry for that. Yes, I'm going to use my wisdom in understanding the verses and in the application of the verses. But don't tell me to change the Quran because that's not changing.

You know, for example, people will question that, for example, in the current situation that Muslims are in

worldwide, how do you handle controversial topics in the Quran?

Now, what's the question over here? Is it that are we agreeing with those topics? Are we watering them down? Are we changing them? Are we leaving them out? Like the Bani Israel? Did they remove parts of the book, they changed parts of the book just to please others? Do you want us to do that? No, we're not going to do that. We're not going to change our book.

We're not changing it. This is Allah speech. It is how,

right? But we do use our reason. And think about where we are living. What's in the book, which part of it is applicable, given where we are? And how do we understand it in the greater context? So for example, if there is a problem that people have with, for example, as part of Islam as Muslims, do we agree with homosexuality? For instance? No, as a Muslim, I don't agree with that. I don't. But given the context that we live in the country that we live in, you have your right, and I have my right.

Right, you have your right, and I have my right.

I'm not going to spread hatred for you, I'm not going to show hatred to you, because you are granted the freedom that you've been granted in the country that you live in. If you think about it in the Muslim states, we see people were allowed to practice their religions. If that is allowed, then why not this and there's not even a you know, a Muslim majority country just as an example I'm telling you. So what we need to realize is the Quran is not changing.

Okay, the Quran is not changing. However, we need to of course, use our wisdom

and see how to live the Quran.

But don't tell us to change our theology. That's not what we're going to do.

So before we're even like, like firm with the Quran, we need to actually believe that the Quran is from Allah and have full conviction that it is I take a philosophy course at high school, and nowadays we're covering philosophy and religion. And so we were talking about rationality and stuff and like, basically, we were playing a game where we had to see if our religious beliefs were like, contradicting each other. So I was playing the game with a partner and it was on the computer. She was atheist.

So Muslim. And so she was like, but there's no proof for religions and this and that. And she's like, how do you know your religion is true? And I was like, well, there's the Quran. And then she's like, No, you don't have any proof. And I was like, actually, I do I have a book that I follow. And then she's like, What? Where did that book come from? Who wrote it? And how do you know it's right? And I was like, Well, if you look at just the way it's written, you know that no human could write it that way. So that's my proof right there. And then all the creation around us and stuff. And like she was just so blown away. By the end, she was like, what you can actually, like, take that as a

proof that she's like, but that's not scientific. And she kept continuing, but the fact that I actually had a firm answer, threw her off, and we need to be firm in what we believe in and totally, exactly, confidence in our book, that 10 Zero keytab lovely Buffy Mirabella aalameen. This is revelation, from WHO?

From who from Allah subhanaw taala. Now labor fee, there is no doubt in it. This is factual This is help.

So we need to stop doubting the book of Allah. And we don't need to change our theology. We don't need to change our Kitab we don't need to change it. Well, we need to change the zoom ourselves.

And of course, we have to employ the wisdom that Allah subhanaw taala has given us to see what is relevant where how much in what quantity and then go step by step.

So those who truly believe in the Ayat of Allah, they know that this is the Hulk, and as a result, hello, so Jaden was Saba who become the rugby him for whom Leia livestock Bureau, they are not arrogant at all, rather, they're submissive, they are humble. Because this life is temporary, it is short, this is our only chance, our only chance to make a place agenda for ourselves. And how is that done? By believing in Allah? By surrendering to Allah? By submitting to him not by being arrogant? So we're home lay yes, that could be rune

that a Jaffa

that a Jaffa you know, boom? There Junoon there sides? What happens to their sides? That that Jaffa it keeps away that the Jaffa is from the root letters? Gene five? Yeah. And it's a very interesting word. What's the translation that you have?

Okay, they forsake remain withdrawn. Any other translation? Okay. So basically, the draft fee is a tuck it to leave something

to forsake, okay to leave something. But you see, sometimes you leave something, because you want to,

because you're just happy, finally, I can leave it.

Right?

Then you leave something, why? Because

you dislike it.

And sometimes you have a mixed feeling that you like it, but you know that you can't be with it, isn't it. So for example, your phone, it's like, you cannot leave it, isn't it? So what happens, you are in your bed and you're using your phone, you're at your class, and you're using your phone. So before you go to bed, you're like, you know what, I have to put it away, I have to put it away. So you leave it somewhere outside your room. Which is amazing if you do that. So you leave it there. And you've got mixed feelings. You're leaving it while getting angry at your phone that this thing kills my time this thing uses me too much. Right? And at the same time, you're happy that you're

feeling free. So this is the Jaffe, that you leave something, you leave something because you love it, you dislike it. But of course there is a level of comfort in it also.

That if you were to have it, you would enjoy it. And sometimes you hate something because you're using it too much. You're enjoying it too much. Like for example you love chocolate, you eat it too much, and then it upsets you. It upsets your system. So what happens you're like I love chocolate, but I hate it. It's a love hate relationship, isn't it? I hate it because I love it too much. Right? I love my friend but I also have problems with her because I spend too much time with it. The more time I spend with her the more problems I get into. So this is the Jaffe that the Jaffa Juno boom, they shun their beds, they avoid their beds, they drift away from their beds and you know the word

the Jaffe, the Jaffa, Soulja, I'm loving for us. The Jafa a solid solid is basically saddle. Saddle on a camel on a horse. Have you ever seen it? If we were sat on it? Have you ever seen

Now it's strapped all the way around. Right? It's really fixed in place. But then what happens over time, it kind of moves away from its proper place. It drifts away. It kind of moves to one side starts falling from one side. So this is the Jaffe when the saddle gets dislocated, it drifts away from its actual place. Okay, so that's a Jaffa Juno boo home I kneel Maharajah, Juno, Florida have jumped side. Now, where does your side belong?

Where should it be? In the Madonna? Madonna is a poor enough Manager? Manager is a place of lying down a place of rest a place of sleeping? So technically, at nighttime, or when you're tired after the whole day? Where is it that your side should be? Where's this actual place? In the bed?

That is where you have to be. When you're tired at night, you're supposed to be where? Where are you supposed to be? In bed? So if somebody sees you in the living room, eating popcorn watching TV, they're gonna tell you what are you doing here? You need to be in bed. If you're exhausted after the whole day, your mom sees you in the living room. She says okay, lie down on the couch, don't sit lie down, you're tired, you're unwell.

So because when you're tired, your side belongs in the bed,

and how comfortable you are in your bed.

Because that's where you should be. But those who truly believe in the Ayat of Allah, what happens to them.

They move away from their bed, they drift away from their bed. They get dislocated from their beds. It's as if they cannot stay in their bed. They should be because they're tired. But there's something more enjoyable. That is calling them out of their bed.

There's something more pleasing, more beneficial. That makes them leave their bed and go

and what is that? Yeah, the rune on a boom. Yeah, the owner. They call upon Rob boom their Lord how how often in fear what thumb on and and hope.

So it's the meeting with Allah, that makes true believers in the Quran, leave their beds.

So they cannot stay in bed. Has it ever happened with you that you're worried about something you're anxious, so you keep waking up in the night you keep waking up? Every hour or two. And then eventually you say you know what, forget about it. So you would just get out of your bed and you go do something. Whether it is that you read something on your phone or you go clean or you go eat or you go talk or you check something on the computer, you do something else, because your worries pulled you away from your bed.

So those who believe in the Quran, what pulls them away from their beds do

dua

because they want to make dua to Allah. What kind of doll with fear and with hope, fear of who fear of Allah. Why? Because of what they have done,

on recognizing our own deficiencies, our own weaknesses, Damara and hope, hope in who?

Hope in who again in Allah, fear of Allah and hope also in Allah hope of what his reward, his forgiveness, his help.

Because in the last third of the night, what do we learn from Hadees that Allah subhanaw taala descends to the lowest heaven asking? Is there anybody who wants forgiveness so I can forgive him?

Is there anyone who's sick so I can cure him? Is there anyone who wants something so I can give that to you? Allah is calling. You see there's a dua from Allah called from Allah. So some people they cannot stay in bed, they're pulled away from their beds, and they go call upon Allah, wa Mima, and from that, which was a canal whom we have provided them, you and Phil cone they spend meaning in the night also, they spend secretly

and 100 Allah these days, it's not difficult to spend in the night secretly. Spending in charity in the night is not difficult these days and hamdulillah with so many options of donations online,

really women malas Akane home Yun feel cone and also in the morning, once they arise, they spend out of what they have given. So this is the life of those who truly believe in the Ayat of Allah. We think believing in the Quran means being very, you know, overzealous and calling everybody careful with our team. We're not fake they

Is that no true Eman in the Ayatollah makes you focus on who on yourself.

Week, amen. superficial knowledge makes a person focused on who on others. She has this problem he has that problem this organization has that problem this Eman this chef has that problem. And this government has that problem that government has that problem. And these Muslims are sanctioned. Those Muslims are such pointing fingers constantly. True Eman makes a person focus on himself. Because true Eman makes you see your own problems. And when you see your own problems, you cannot dare to speak about the problems that are in other people. You can't do that.

When you see your own weaknesses, your own deficiencies, your own failures,

then how can you talk about the failures of others. So true belief in the Quran makes you strive towards self improvement.

It makes you get out of your bed and turn to Allah seeking His help hope of Allah that Oh Allah, I made this mistake of Allah, I have this problem in me, this weakness in me and then thumb on hope also, Oh Allah, you helped me fix it.

You can forgive me.

You can help me overcome my bad luck. How often will thumb on when my mom was gonna commune for code they spend in the way of Allah

they give to others. When they think about others, they're not thinking about the problems and others. They're thinking about how they can help others.

Again, we need to check ourselves that with the knowledge of the Quran that I have, what is my focus on? Is it myself? Or is it others when it comes to problems and deficiencies I need to see my own. And when it comes to giving helping, I need to think about giving to others. It is said a man asked article below on who that how do I know whether I'm a person of dunya AKA, you know, how do I know where my heart really is? Is it attached to the dunya? Is it attached to the arco? He said how do you feel when somebody brings you a gift? And how do you feel when a beggar comes to you? When somebody brings you a gift, you feel happy? But is that happiness more than how you feel when a

beggar comes in you have the opportunity to give him

if you're more happy when you're receiving that means you are the person of dunya and when you're happy when you have a chance to give then that means you're the person of what of a woman Matos Akane home Yun Falcone. So what do we see over here? True believers in the Quran, they don't remain frozen dead in their beds, they move from their beds, they distance themselves from their beds, it's like they're like their beds, but they know that their beds are also big problems in their lives. too comfortable

even though the bed the sleep is one of the most daring things to them and this is true that as human beings off the most dearest things to us in life is what sleep I remember recently I heard somebody saying that you know there is no sleep and Jana so she said that I wonder how because you know sleep is a blessing. You know, being able to sleep is a blessing so I wonder how it's gonna be inshallah it'll be good, not sleeping, but sleep is a blessing.

And then our money the things that we have even they're a blessing. But what do we learn learn to narrow below hatherton fecal matter hipbone those who are truly affected by the Quran. Those who are truly enchanted by the Quran, who are they? They are those who give up part of what is most beloved to them. And what is that it's their sleep. It's not their relationships.

Because careful here because we think I love the Quran. And you know what, I haven't seen my cousin's in like, two years.

Because I love the Quran.

You sacrifice your sleep, to spend time with the Quran.

You don't sacrifice the hawk that others have on you.

You understand? Because the proper etiquette is how do you stay connected with the Quran in the hours of the night? That is how you keep the Quran with yourself. So love and faith. What do they demand? Sacrifice with sacrifice of sleep? And of our money? Yes, it's difficult, but let's make the intention and ask Allah for Sophia.

These are the true believers in the Quran. May Allah subhanaw taala make us a
