Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P22 219D Tafsir Al-Ahzab 34-35

			So in these verses, we see that the wives of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi, wa sallam, they are
directly addressed over here. And they're basically given the option that you choose between Allah,
His Messenger, the home of the Hereafter, or the dunya. And its luxuries, you have the choice, you
make the decision for yourself. But then whatever choice you make, then stay committed to it. If it
is Allah, His Messenger, the home of the Hereafter that you choose for yourself, then that is a sign
on your part, and for your sacrifice for your commitment for your Ersan, Allah subhanaw taala will
also reward you abundantly. And then we see that in these verses, the wives of the Prophet
		

			sallallahu Sallam are made to realize their great status in the society in the Ummah, amongst the
believers, that their status is of who of the Mothers of the Believers. And so because of that great
status, they also have to hold themselves to a higher moral standard also, at why because they are
like role models, they are like exemplary women. How often does it happen, that whenever women are
mentioned, right, the wives of the Prophet salallahu Salam there examples are mentioned. Why?
Because these are women that we can relate to. These are women that we can learn many lessons from.
So for example, when it comes to Aisha doula and how we learn about her knowledge when it comes to
		

			Khadija below, on how we learn about her love and her commitment to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
salam, right, so many wives of the Prophet sallallahu said them so many lessons to learn from their
lives. So in these ayat that has made clear that the wives of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam are no
ordinary women. But in this is a lesson for all Muslim women, that these are the best women. These
are your role models. And Allah subhanaw taala gave them these commands. Why in is number 33 Right
at the end, Allah subhanaw taala says in nama UD doula who Lee Eun Hee Bancomer, registered lol Bay,
Toyota hirako, that Hera, Allah subhanaw taala has given you these commandments, and also some
		

			prohibitions at the same time, not to oppress you, not to limit you, not to stomp your progress so
that you're not able to contribute you're not able to progress. No, it is in order to keep you pure
and clean, from the filth that people produce and people hurl, at, especially those who are in the
limelight. So, all of these are for your protection for your purification. You know, for example,
over here in AI number 33, only when the wives of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam are told while
active originator Barbuda helliya Tell Ola do not go on displaying your beauty outside, like women
did in the time of ignorance meaning prior to Islam. So, basically, there should be a difference
		

			between your dressing right now, then, compared to what it was before Islam, right. And what is the
dressing of a Muslim woman it is modest and in particular, what is mentioned over here is that do
not flaunt your beauty do not do not display it, meaning cover it when you go outside. And the
details of this, there are mentioned in Tula to note and more detail will come inshallah later on in
Surah, two Liza. Now, if you think about it, why is this command given to a woman that she must
cover her beauty? Is it for the purpose of oppression? No, it is for the purpose of purification for
the purpose of her safety, her security. And it's in two ways for her to think properly about
		

			herself. And for also others to think correctly about her a woman's thoughts about herself. Also, if
you think about it, many times women feel proud when they look modest or otherwise.
		

			Seriously, when is it that women have more confidence when they feel like they're looking more
attractive? And so on and so forth? I don't need to use any explicit words over here, you know
exactly what I'm talking about. Right? The more revealing she is, the more skin she's exposing or
the more beauty she's exposing, the more confident she is perceived as right. But if you think about
it, are those clean thoughts? Is that really a clean assumption of oneself or thought about oneself?
That I'm looking so attractive? Really, is this something nice that people are looking at you and
thinking about your body? Thinking about your looks thinking about your eyelashes or your legs or
		

			your finger or your stomach or your chest or whatever it is? Is this something pure? Is this
something that befits a righteous woman? So Leotta Helcom the purpose is what Leotta he'll come to
purify you. Leo's hybond como rich the El beit where you thought
		

			Yako that Hera, then in the next ayah Allah subhanaw taala says what commoner and you all remember
what corner see the noon at the end is of loyal feminine. All right, just as in the previous if we
learned what Karna Latta Virgina All right. So what corner you remember, you recall the Word of God
is from Victor and what does it mean to remember? And over here it can be understood in multiple
ways. Firstly, what Goodna meaning remember, as an memorize, learn, remember mentioned as an
memorize, learn, study. Then secondly, once you learn once you remember, then you remember again
later on why in order to review so that you don't forget what you have learned previously.
		

			And then thirdly, you review you remember why you mentioned in order to teach others so over here,
what Khurana gives us three meanings. First of all, remember, study memorize, secondly, review and
thirdly, remind others meaning teach. So what Coruna you must study you must review you must teach
what man that which Utila it is recited. feeble you Tichenor in your homes booth is a coil off bait
because each wife of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had a separate home to herself. So in your homes,
whatever is recited, recited, of what? Min, a Atilla he of the verses of Allah.
		

			Meaning the Quran that is recited in your homes. You should also recite it, you should also learn
it, you should also review it, you should also teach it. Who is it that will primarily recite the
Quran in their homes? It was Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, right? So for example, we learn
about the fact that the Prophet sallallahu Sena would perform prayer in the night the 100. Right, he
wouldn't put the 100 in the masjid. Where would he pray in his house? All right. And specifically,
you know, there are narrations in Buhari in which we learned that I should have the lower Anna, she
narrated that oftentimes she would be sleeping, all right, and the Prophet sallallahu Sallam would
		

			be performing prayer. But the house was small. And the layout was that the bed where it was placed,
that was the direction of the Qibla also. So basically, when the Prophet said a lot of center would
be praying, the feet of I should have the lower now would be in front of him. So when he would have
to go first to God, he would touch her. Alright, in order to indicate that you can move your feet so
she would move her feet and then he would do so do you understand then when he would get up, she
would stretch her legs again. Now the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he is praying tahajjud and in
tahajjud What is he reciting the Quran? Right. Then we also learned about my Munna below Arnhem,
		

			that how her nephew, right? Even our basketball, the lower end, when he was little, he would often
once he came to spend the night over there to see how the Prophet salallahu Salam worshipped in the
night. Imagine a young boy and still he wanted to learn how to Saul allah sallallahu Sallam
worshiped in the night. So the Prophet salallahu Salam got up in the middle of the night in order to
pray, and what happened this little boy, he also gets up, he does will do and he stands on the left
side of the Prophet salallahu Salam, and the prophets of Allah is very, very gently moved him from
his left side to his right side. Now again, what was the prophet saw a lot of Saddam doing in his
		

			house in the night he is performing Salah and inside out what is he reciting the Quran.
		

			I'm sure all of you have heard of that very famous narration about how I shall blower and has said
that the prophets of Allah is and will place his head in my lap, and he would be reciting the Quran.
And this would be while she was menstruating, right to prove that the body of a menstruating woman
is not impure, right? So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is spending time with his wife, and what is
he doing over there? reciting the Quran. So the wives of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam are told over
here that you should also recite the Quran.
		

			The Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam recites it in your house, you should also recite it, you should also
learn it, you should also review it and you should also pass it on.
		

			And we see Amazing that how I should have the low on her she asked the prophets of Allah Islam so
many questions about the Quran. You know, for example, the ayah about his salmon yesira. Right. And
Easy account and the prophets Allah Allah is going to explain to her what that meant. So so many
narrations which tell us that the wives of the Prophet saw a lot of sound they really took the Quran
seriously. It wasn't just the
		

			duty of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to recite the Quran. And here Allah subhanaw taala addresses
them directly instructing them that they must also engage in the recitation in the study of the book
of Allah. This is not just something for men to do you understand? Because many times you see in the
previous ayah, what is mentioned, the wives of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam are told, we'll call
Nephi BeautyCon. So, there are many people who will say, You know what, Muslim woman she's supposed
to be in the house, right? And this Quran study that you're doing, you don't need to do it. This is
the job of men. Well, over here, Allah subhanaw taala is telling the best women who are supposed to
		

			be role models for all Muslim women, what is he telling them that their purpose in life should not
just be home making, it should not just be child rearing, it should not just be, you know, making
their hair and looking nice for their husbands or, you know, whatever it may be. That is also part
of life. I'm not saying that's not part of life. And that's not important. It is important, but you
know what, you will do it even if you don't want to do it, isn't it? Like, for example, when your
kids come in your life? Then what happens? You got to look after them, isn't it you don't have an
option over there. When you have a house and it gets dirty, you have to clean when you have a
		

			husband and he's hungry, you got a cook, even if you don't know how to cook, you'll figure it out.
You'll do it. But when it comes to the Quran, when it comes to the vicar of Allah, how often is it
that we find ourselves saying, I don't know when to do this? I'm just so busy.
		

			I don't know how to make time for it. So in these ayat that is made clear that women must must make
time for what for the recitation of the Quran for the study of the Quran for reviewing the Quran,
because the best women were instructed to do that was called nama youth laffy booty Kana. Minaya
Tila, but it's not just the Ayat of Allah that You should be studying, reviewing. Also, in addition
to that, well Hikmah and wisdom. What is wisdom referring to over here? The words of wisdom, the
teachings of the deen, basically taught by who? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So hikma
refers to, because hikmah is basically putting things where they belong. That's one of the
		

			definitions of hikma. All right. So how to practically implement a command of Allah that also
requires what hikma
		

			because you're putting knowledge into action, where it belongs in the right way. That is hikma. Now
how is it that you have to implement the commands of Allah which are in the Quran? Where do you
learn that from? From the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. So the word hikma is used for
sunnah also. All right. And just as I point over here, you know, many times it happens that we learn
about this is right, this is wrong. This is right, this is wrong. Okay. And then we want the world
to be black and white. Also. We want everything in life to be black and white ultimate. When we go
out and we see, well, life is not exactly black and white, isn't it? So then what do you need over
		

			there? hikma to be able to approach the situation correctly? Right? So that we're actually doing
Dawa. We're not actually turning people away from Islam. And you learn that wisdom from WHO? From
the Prophet salallahu Salam? By studying the Sunnah by studying Hadith. By studying the seal of the
Prophet salallahu Salam, you really learn wisdom. Let me give you an example.
		

			Remember the man who came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, a young man and he said, allow me to do
Zina. You know about that story? Okay. He came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and he said, allow
me to have * out of marriage. All right, he asked for that permission. What's the right
answer?
		

			What's the right answer? No, haram, isn't it? The Prophet sallallahu Sallam could have said that?
What did he do?
		

			He said, Would you like it? If somebody wanted to do that with so and so with so and so with so and
so he logically explained to him how bad this action is, until eventually and the prophets Allah,
Allah said, I made dua for him until eventually that boy, that man, he said, I'm okay. I don't need
permission. I'm not going to do this. That is hikma.
		

			And ask Allah for hikma. Because if we don't have hikma be able to put knowledge into practice
correctly, properly at the right time in the right way. We could really cause damage.
		

			Really, we could and many times we do when we become overzealous when we become extremely you know
emotional about certain things. You know, just the other day what happened? My son is in school and
every other day he comes in says this is haram haram you I'm like you're turning into haram police.
		

			Where did you learn that from? My daughter, of course, little girl. She loves all princesses and
everything okay? Even though she's never watched anything, but because this is what she sees, you
know, amongst her friends, this is what she sees. Wherever she goes, she likes it and she just talks
about it. That's it. That's all she can do. Poor girl. Right? Anyway, she was saying something and
my son said, princesses are haram.
		

			I'm like, where did you learn that from? Who told you that?
		

			He said, because they are Shame, shame.
		

			I'm like, Okay, I understand. And I explained to him, you know, that we don't use the word haram for
everything. Okay, we can say that, yes, they're not dressed properly. But at the same time, you
know, we can't say things like that. We have to be careful. I was just thinking if you want to say
that, in front of, you know, people who are not very religiously inclined, they would think what
kind of a mother is she? Right? What is she teaching her children? Don't get me wrong over here. I'm
not saying go dress up like those princesses. I'm just making a point here that we need to be
careful about labeling things right left and center haram haram haram. We have to be very, very
		

			careful. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam did not teach the deen like that. You know this violent way
of practicing the deen or of teaching the deen or if taking the deen to others. This contradicts
Hikmah it doesn't invite people to Islam. It turns people away from Islam. So the wives of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam are taught over here to pay special attention to what? To what? To the
heck ma to the way in which the Prophet salallahu Salam is practicing the deen teaching the deen pay
a special attention to that in the Lucha indeed Allah, Ghana he is ever lovely fun. He is subtle. He
is hobby Iran he is acquainted. He is acquainted aware of all things, even the most hidden secrets
		

			you cannot hide from him. So in this ayah in particular, what is the emphasis on use your time
productively?
		

			You see the wives of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, they had the privilege of learning from the
Prophet salallahu Salam around the clock
		

			in the very house, right? The Sahaba they could only learn from the Prophet sallallahu Sallam when
they were in the masjid or when they were outside and besides, they couldn't come in the house of
the prophets of Allah Islam. They couldn't be there. You know, the relatives would come like for
example or model Dulo or and who have avacado doula one who, right Abdullah bin or Allah you know
the relatives would come but every Sahabi couldn't come abou they did not blow our new couldn't come
like that, isn't it? So the wives of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam are told over here, that they're
in that you learn directly from the Prophet salallahu Salam in your own house. That is an Amana on
		

			you. It's a privilege that you're being given. Take this seriously. And take this Amana of Elm and
hikma to others also. And we see that the wives of the Prophet salallahu Salam they became the best
mobile li hot they became the best more unlimited. You know, women who conveyed women who talks
		

			because Allah subhanaw taala gave them this hokum and the thing is that many times, you know, women
are concerned about their children, for example, learning the Quran. I want my son to memorize the
Quran. I want my daughter to study the Quran. I want my son to study physics. I want my daughter to
study this. Right? Very good. And while we are concerned about teaching our children, we should also
be concerned about educating who ourselves.
		

			So MIT comm there was a lecture I heard recently, I can't remember what she was, but he was talking
about relationships within the family. And he's like, especially within cultures, it's very popular
for them to be like, you know, we must make our sons memorize the Quran, we must make them learn, we
must make them do this. And this, and the daughter's education is kind of like, okay, she can do it,
but it's usually pushed aside. But he's like, for the future of our families. It's better the
daughters are taught because they're going to be future mothers, who's going to be teaching your
children, the Quran, who's going to be teaching them the way to practice Islam? It is the mothers.
		

			So if anything, the importance should be put on your daughter's education of Islam and the deen
because they are going to be teaching your future generations. Yeah, very true. And even otherwise,
women's education should not be neglected. You know, recently somebody was asking me about why they
were pursuing a particular degree and they had questions about whether they should even pursue it
and I said, Of course you should. Because Inshallah, one day you will be a mother and your children
should know that their mother is well educated. Right? They should be able to trust their mother.
Because a mother who speaks with knowledge, who speaks with confidence, who is trusted by her
		

			children, when she will tell her children about Allah about the Quran about the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, they will
		

			I listen to her. And if they know their mother, as a woman who doesn't even know basics of chemistry
of biology of simple things, then children don't even look up to their parents. I'm not saying that
that attitude on the part of children is correct. But I'm just saying that it just so happens to be
the case. So, in this eye, it's clear how important it is for women to be educated, for women to be
educated, especially with regards to their Deen.
		

			Go ahead. Yesterday, I was thinking about how the wives of the Prophet saw it. So they shared such
intimate details of their lives. And that would have taken so much like courage and also like that
openness to totally for, like to share that for the sake of Allah, so other people can benefit. And
I was like, where did that come from? You know, how did they know to share that? And I guess it's
from here. This is the reason exactly. I mean, the details that we learn about, you know, for
example, the correct method of whistle, for instance, after the state of Geneva, how a person should
do whistle, how the prophets of Allah would even sleep, you know, on his right side, with his hand
		

			placed under his cheek, the doors that he would read before going to sleep, his habits, when he
would wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning, how he would wake up how he would
worship Allah subhanaw taala. These were all very intimate private details, which the attachment the
HELOC didn't keep to themselves. They told others why? Because this was an Amana on them. As Allah
subhanaw taala makes clear over here, that word coroner, you must mention it to others.
		

			And you see the wives of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. I mean, one could argue if a woman is
married, you know, she's got children, she's got a husband, she's got a house to look after. Why
should she do this? Study the Quran study the Sunnah. Why do this? Why isn't it like putting a
burden on a woman?
		

			Seriously, because many times women, what do they want that once they're married wants to have
children than they should have no commitments at all, isn't it? I'm not saying that the only way of
reviewing the Quran is that if you're committed to a course or anything like that, the point I'm
making here is that after you're married, especially you need to be in touch with the Quran. You
must be connected with the Quran. This is essential for married life. Because married life has its
challenges. It has its challenges. It's not like you're living happily ever after. Okay? It's got
its spokes and pricks it's going to hurt you it's going to annoy you. There's different things that
		

			are going to bother you the person whom you thought you loved. Now you you're doubting yourself
you're doubting the other person that children you thought you love them what's going on, you just
feel like quitting and running away. Every day brings its new set of challenges. So in order to deal
with real life challenges, what do you need in your life? The book of Allah this is essential in
married life. Did you want to say something?
		

			So I got permission from my teacher that I can listen to you know Subhanallah whenever they read one
page, you know on the daily basis your children Yeah, my boys when they read as Oh Subhan Allah,
this is my one of my favorite verse, right? Okay, Mama, do you want me to highlight it on your on
your Quran? Yes, please. There's a tough Allah. Mama, there's so many are highlighted here. So they
decided right, you know, your mama likes it. Okay, let's go inside when I tell them the meanings
also. So some of the meanings, some they also you know, they can retain it exactly. Because how
often does it happen that when you're teaching children, you are telling their children Okay, review
		

			your lesson, read your Quran, read the lesson that you're supposed to they will read and they will
say what does it mean?
		

			What does it mean? Right? I remember I saw a child once. A long time ago, he was reading Quran and
he was asking his teacher, what does it mean? And the teacher said, don't ask me that. Just read.
		

			I have witnessed this myself. And that child struggled so much with reading because he wanted to
know what it meant.
		

			So many times, the mother is also asked about what does this mean? What does that mean? So as
mothers we have to instill the love of the book of Allah in the hearts of our children, how can we
do that if we don't read Quran ourselves? If we don't understand it ourselves if we are not
passionate about the Quran ourselves. So when COULDNA This is advice for women keep connected with
the book of Allah with the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, even if you are single or you're
married or you have children or you don't have children, whatever is going on in your life, keep in
touch with the book of Allah.
		

			And Allah subhanaw taala says in Al Muslimeen indeed the Muslim men, while Muslim ad and the Muslim
women and Muslim mean plural of Muslim Muslim Act is a poor love Muslimah while more meaning and the
believing men while more Minette and the believing women, meaning plural of men, me now to deploy

men and women onto the same Muslim movement isn't the same.
		

			They can be used in the same way. But there is also a slight difference between them depending on
the context that the words are being used in. But basically, if you think about it, Gibreel when he
asked the Prophet salatu salam, What is Islam? How did the Prophet sallallahu Sallam explain it? The
five pillars of Islam, right? shahada, Salah, Zakka, Hajj fasting, right. So this is Islam, Islam is
what? Outward submission outward submission meaning when a person is visibly a Muslim why because
he's doing the actions that a Muslim is supposed to do. Because Islam means surrender.
		

			So in non Muslim in wellness Lee met who are the Ideal Muslim men an Ideal Muslim women, those who
do what Muslims are supposed to do Muslim meanwhile Muslim add one more mini in one more minute. Who
are more men what men Eman and what is a man that you believe in Allah, His messengers, his angels
his books Divine Decree hereafter. Right the Six Pillars of faith and where's Eman? It is in the
heart. So the Muslim men, Muslim women who are outwardly submitted and the believing men believing
women who are spiritually committed also. There is the man in the heart. It's not just a word empty
actions hollow from inside. No. Spiritually committed. They are from within. They're doing it with
		

			love with faith. Well carnitine well Karnataka, carnitine, plural of Carnot unattached plural of
carnita from the word Knut cough noon. And what does that mean? To be humbly, devoutly consistently

humility, with consistency with love and adoration, men and women both was Saudi peein was Saudi

			In this ayah, what do we see? The Ideal Muslim men and the Ideal Muslim women are described? What
are their characteristics, because we see over here, as the men are described, women are described
at the same time. So these are the most prominent, significant features of a Muslim community. This
is how Muslim men are like, this is how Muslim women are like, and we all need to check ourselves
that when it comes to these characteristics, how many of these do I find in myself? Which one of
these? am I lacking in?

said there are men and women who remember Allah much. Those are the ones who have excelled.
		

			Because every deed when it is done with the vicar of Allah, then what happens? It becomes more
beautiful. It becomes more beautiful. So these are the characteristics of the Ideal Muslim men and
Ideal Muslim women. There is an Irishman in which we learned that one some women asked the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam that many times
		

			Men are mentioned in the Quran.
		

			And by the way, when men are mentioned in the Quran, it's not just that those verses are exclusively
talking about men, unless there is an evidence that shows that those verses are exclusively about
men, when masculine plural is used, it can refer to men as well as women. All right. But the
question was, how can women are not mentioned? So Allah subhanaw taala revealed this is to show that
when it comes to piety when it comes to good deeds, that there is equality between men and women,
because every good deed that a man can do, like the good deeds that are mentioned over here, unless
it's something that's specific to the role of a man, when it comes to piety in relation to Allah
		

			subhanaw taala, then there's a quality than men and women are equal. It's not that men are greater,
and women are less are the other way around. Go ahead. So generally, I was thinking that women
usually focus on those two points, or two, three points that Allah has given men, a priority over a
woman in the world needs is a sense. But we always forget that, indeed, there's equality in men and
women, right? And we don't focus on that. But we focus on those one or two situations where it's the
other way around Exactly. When it comes to spirituality when it comes to being a servant of Allah,
then no person has preference over the other due to gender, race, age or anything like that. That
		

			preference is with what with the Aqua, because in a chroma coma in the Llahi, a taco, so what we
should really be concerned about is our relation with who? Allah subhanaw taala not that we are
competing with other people, and we're like, No, I want to be better in this way, I will be better
if I do this, no, I will be better if I become a better servant to to Allah subhanaw taala a
person's rank is increased by his servitude to Allah subhanaw taala. And this is what this ayah
reminds us of. I recently had a discussion with my younger brother, about you know, a lot of things
like why do people have such you know, sometimes warped thoughts about Islam and the commandments of
		

			Islam? And Allah Subhana Allah, and a lot of the ones obviously, like the ones that are pertaining
to the women, you're why are they so constantly upset? Why are they targeting them all the time. And
the conclusion the two of us came to was that it's because our perspective is towards the world, all
of these qualities that we're given, they're also not talking about worldly success. They're not
talking about qualities that will make you successful in this world. They're talking about qualities
that will make you successful in the hereafter. So as long as your focus is the hereafter, all of
the commands that Allah has given, make sense. And even if we don't understand them, ourselves, we
		

			accept them because we realize that you know, the focus of this life, this world is the hereafter.
As soon as the world becomes our priority. Nothing matters like we're, you know, upset about
everything. This command makes no sense in this world, in this context, so on and so forth. But as
soon as our focus is towards the hereafter, as soon as we prioritize that, everything just falls
into place. Exactly. And we see, for example, the wives of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, their
focus was the hereafter that will occur, right? Then what happened? Did Allah subhanaw taala not
grant them worldly success? Also, he did. You know, the Prophet sallallahu said, and he said to his
		

			wives, that the first of you to meet me, meaning the first of you to die after me will be the one
with the longest hand, all right, and the wives of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam after his death,
they would every so often, you know, measure their hand against each other to see whose arm or hand
was the biggest or the longest arm and Xena it'll do a lot more on how she was the first one to pass
away. And that is when they understood what the prophets of Allah said and meant by longhand that
the one who is the most generous she was known for her generosity famous for her generosity. All
right, we think oh, you know what? I can't spend much because you know what, I'm a woman because I'm
		

			not supposed to work who said you cannot work who said you cannot make your own money who said that
with the money that you get you cannot spend in the way of Allah where there's a will there is a way
