Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P23 241D Tafsir Al-Zumar 8-9

			What either and when must sell in Santa Messiah it touched Al Insana, the human being, what touched
human being Bullrun hardship, some damage, some deprivation, some kind of distress. And the word
book applies to such distress that may be in one's body meaning physical, it may be emotional,
mental, it may be concerning one's wealth, financial, it may be in one's circumstances, the
situation that he is in any kind of hardship, any kind of adversity. What happens to a person when
he is afflicted by difficulty? Da, he calls upon, he did da he made dua, who robber who do his Lord,
how does he make dua to his Lord Mooney ban, returning one who returns repeatedly, la he to him Do
		

			only to Allah, and the word Muneeb. From the root letters known Wilda. In Abba, we learned this word
earlier. Also, it means to return how repeatedly over and over again, hitting a person just came.
But now again, he's going back again, and again, he's going back on the same route is the word no,
which is also used for a honeybee. Because what does a honeybee do? It doesn't stay in its high.
Correct. It's constantly flying from flower to flower, collecting nectar, or collecting whatever it
has to collect. And each time it has something it goes back to the hive, but it doesn't just stay
there. So this is money. So minivan, Eli, he constantly, repeatedly he's turning back to Allah. Why?
		

			Because that it doesn't let him stay still, in that door in that hardship, he cannot help but call
upon Allah. And he calls upon Allah who repeatedly sitting standing in the morning, in the night
while working while eating. Because this is what happens when a person is suffering from distress.
When a person is in pain, then this is a chance to turn back to Allah. And when a person has tried
everything in order to help himself but nothing works. Then what does he realize? The only hope is
in who? Allah subhanaw taala so moneyval la, whether he is alone, or he is sitting amongst people,
no matter what's going on, he's calling upon Allah. Why is he calling upon Allah so that the law is
		

			removed, so that the hardship goes away, so that he can receive some blessing from Allah. But then
what happens so much than either when Hawala who Hawala, who near Malta Minho? When Allah bestows on
him a favor? Hawala, who from the root letters Hall, well, lamb, how well are you how we do the
Queen, is to give such a favor
		

			that is given in the control of that person. You see, there's different types of blessings we use,
there are some lessons that we use up. And there are other blessings that we use, what's the
difference? You got an apple, you eat it, you've used it up, right? But then there is another
blessing, like for example, a house, a kitchen. All right, a dish, a pot, a ladle, whatever it is, a
dress, a car, these are things that we don't just use up, we use them. You understand? You don't
just use a pot once you use it over and over again. You don't just use a car once and you're done
with it. Cars are not disposable, although the way things are going you never know everything is
		

			becoming disposable. So how well who how well that means America and America are auto meaning he
gave a favor. And then America he also gave ownership as in control of it. So far either Hawala who
near Mata Minho that tell me what kind of gifts do we really like things that we just use of once
and we're done with them or things that we can actually keep things that we can heat? I mean, a
chocolate bar is nice at it as it is it's very nice you enjoy it, but you just enjoy that that
moment. Correct. But if it's something else, you know, that's more concrete that such that you can
keep that you can use over and over again, you feel more in control. So for my either Hawala walk
		

			near Mata Minh who Ninho from himself, leaning only Allah can give such favors. So Allah gave him
the gift, and he also gave him control over it. He also gave Him authority over it power over it.
		

			so that he could use it by His Will whenever he wants Hawala who near Mata Minh who,
		

			and near Allah also means that the Buddha was removed because remember, a favor is of two types of
blessing is of two types. One is that we get something we want, right? We got something that we
want. Like for example, you were sick, you get health, right? You got a car, you got a ride, you got
a pen, you got a phone, you got a computer, whatever it is, you want something.
		

			So for example, if you were suffering from extreme headaches for a whole week, and then finally
those headaches are gone. Isn't that an aroma? It's a huge neuroma. Right? You were sick with a cold
for two weeks for a month. And then finally that episode is over. Isn't that an aroma? It's an
aroma. So removal of difficulty is also a Yama. So Thelma either Hawala, who near Mata Minh, who,
when Allah this dawns on him a favor from himself, meaning the person could not have acquired it
himself. He could never have acquired it himself. It was only Allah spavor on him, that he got that
blessing, whether it was a gift, or the removal of some harm. What's the reaction of this person?
		

			NESEA he forgot.
		

			What did he forget man, that which can he was meaning previously, ye drew he was calling meaning
making dua la vie to it. He forgot that which he was calling upon, or calling for before before
what? Before the Nirma? What do I Was he making before this blessing, he was making dua for the
removal of hardship. He was making dua, to receive some good from Allah. Now once he receives his
benefits from Allah, what does he do? He forgets the fact that he was even making dua to Allah.
		

			He goes on enjoying his blessings. He's so engrossed into them, that he even forgets that a week
ago, he was making dua to Allah desperately.
		

			Now, a whole day goes by and he doesn't even remember ALLAH, whereas just a week ago, what was he
doing sitting, standing, lying down whenever he got a moment he was making God to Allah Nessie
Americana Theodorou in a union Kabul and McKenna Jada Rue It can also refer to Allah, meaning he
forgot the one meaning the one whom he was making dua to before.
		

			What gyla. And instead, what's worse is that he made Lilla he for Allah and Dadon equals rivals, and
that is the plural of the word mid, what is needed a partner and equal meaning someone who is equal
to another in some attribute, someone who is equal to another in some attribute. Right? So what John
Illa he and dad and he sets up rivals for Allah. Now who is the one who gives blessings who is Al
Marcin, Elmer Oakley, and what have Alma Nan, who is it a bizarre? It is Allah subhanahu avana
correct. So when he makes a dad for Allah, what is this shit referring to? That he instead of
realizing that the blessing has come from Allah, he thinks, the means, whether it is in the form of
		

			a person or some business or some medication, or whatever it was, that helped him come out of that
trouble, he thinks that that was the source of relief, whereas that person or that medication or
whatever it was, it was just a means sent by who? Allah subhanaw taala so what journal Allah He and
gather he sets up rivals to Allah.
		

			Lille Billa.
		

			As a results, he leads a stray Leoben Allah Lao over here is alfalfa, aka means as a consequence, as
a result, he as a result of this
		

			action of his that in the stress, he called upon Allah, once he got what he wanted, he forgot about
Allah, and instead he's thanking others, he's giving credit to everyone else, but Allah, then by
this action, what is he doing? You will, he is misleading other people, unswervingly he from his way
from who's way from the way of Allah.
		

			Because you see, typically what happens when a person is in some distress, regardless of how
religious or non religious they are. Eventually there comes a point where they call upon God, right?
When they see that somebody is
		

			You know, they are not religious and they're perfectly fine and they have whatever they want, then
looking at this person, what do they think it's not necessary to make dua it's not necessary to call
upon God. So by this action of indifference to Allah subhanaw taala What is he doing? He's promoting
the culture of ignoring God,
		

			heal when long, severely old say, say to this person Tamata because Africa kalila enjoy in your
disbelief hollyland A little, enjoy your disbelief. How long for a little while, a Leland over here
means little as an in time and enjoyment, that is little also the quantity the quality of that
enjoyment is also brief. It is little compared to the enjoyment of the hereafter. In come in us
having now a severe warning is given at the end Indeed, you are from the Companions of the Fire.
This is a threat for such an ungrateful person Surah Zuma from the beginning? What is it that we
have been seeing in the Surah? The theme of if last, making ourselves sincere for Allah subhanaw
		

			taala. And here in this eye on the following verses, we see more examples of Islamist meaning how is
it that we can develop sincerity for Allah subhanaw taala. In particular, what's mentioned in this
ayah is a certain character, which unfortunately, is very common, very, very common, this behavior
is very common in people. And what is this, that in normal circumstances? What is the attitude of
many people that whatever blessings they have, they complain about them? Because you see in the
previous aisle what was mentioned in gratitude, if you're grateful yoga, hula COMM And if you're
ungrateful, Allah does not like it for you. Because the sad reality is that majority of the times
		

			people complain about the blessings they have.
		

			And then at times of need, what do they do? They pray to Allah. They call upon Allah, they seek
Allah's help.
		

			And how is it that they call upon Allah Mooney been Na, and in Alba also gives the meaning of a
class of sincerity because constantly going back to Allah alone, him alone. So at that time, they
don't associate any partners with Allah. Rather they implore upon Allah constantly, so that their
hardship is removed and the trial is taken away, because nothing else worked. Right? So then he ends
up calling upon Allah subhanaw taala. And this is the purpose of hardship. This is the purpose of
difficulty of why does Allah subhanaw taala afflict difficulty upon us, so that we turn to him so
that we call upon Allah. But the problem over here is that once this person's need is met, once he
		

			gets what he wants, then he forgets Allah, and this is problematic that a person remembers Allah
only when he wants something,
		

			only when he is an extreme trouble.
		

			Now, this doesn't mean that if we are in difficulty, we say, or I can make dua, because in good
times I don't make dua. So why should I make dua right now? No, Allah has put us in difficulty so
that we turned back to him and I learn a lesson and don't forget him once you get your needs
fulfilled, into what you desire number 12. This is mentioned what either must sell inside of the
room Garner lead gen V O, R e n, o r ima. When some difficulty afflicts man, he calls upon us on his
side meeting when lying down when sitting, and when standing. Good.
		

			Very good. What the problem is when America chef NanHu, beloved, maraca Ylang Yaga Runa in our
building Messiah, when we remove the hardship for him, he goes on, as if he never made the call to
Allah.
		

			You see, even as people
		

			who is it that we consider to be our friend, someone who just call this one there in somebody?
		

			Who is it that we consider our friends, people who connect with us on a regular basis, not just when
they want something from us, isn't it and if there are people who generally don't care about you,
but every time they're in some trouble, then they give you a call, not just once but five times and
they send you a message, not just the text message, but also what's happened. If there is any other
thing that you have. They try to reach you through every possible means sending you messages through
others also. And then as soon as you've helped them, then it's as if you don't exist for them
anymore.
		

			How does that feel?
		

			How does that feel just as a human being? Would you consider this person to be a friend or just
somebody who uses you? As somebody who uses you, isn't it?
		

			And it's sad, even human beings don't deserve such behavior is that we say, I don't deserve this
kind of treatment from this person.
		

			If we don't like it for ourselves, we think we deserve better. What Allah and methylone are allowed,
what does Allah deserve from us? What does Allah deserve from us when everything we have is from
him? This is unfair, this is really unfair. So over here, we are being reminded that look, what is
it that you call upon Allah only? Because this kind of attitude, what does it promote? It promotes a
culture of ingratitude to Allah subhanaw taala pray only when you want something otherwise, forget
about him. Lille Bill Lang severely. This is a means of going astray and also leading other people
astray. A man on contrast, in contrast, Allah subhanaw taala mentions another example I'm or man who
		

			who are he is on the throne devoutly obedient and it's Han it is from connotes one who observes
Knuth and what is called constant obedience with humility, not just in times of distress and
difficulty but also in good times as a man who are on eatin What do you think about the one who is
devoutly obedient when Anna Elaine Anna, floral of the word in your
		

			in your time period.
		

			So Anna time periods, and it's you can translate this as hours but don't think of it as literally 60
minutes an hour right? A period of time and a lane during hours of the night? When is he obedient to
Allah? At what time in the hours of the night meeting in night? When people are asleep and what is
he doing saggi then one who is prostrating or Ka Eman and one who is standing? What is it that we do
such The MTM?
		

			In what in Salah feeding in the night this person is performing the prayer? Why? Yes. The rule? Is
there any prayer that is legislated for that time? No. mean there's a shower prayer and then after
that there's a time period when there's no obligatory prayer. The next one is budget. But during the
night, there is no prescribed prayer. What is he praying then? Nothing the headship, my prayer. And
what's the purpose? Is it to put a checkmark okay, I've done my Asia. I've done my budget. I've done
Malzahar. So, because this is how we pray most of the time, right? We're praying because we have to
pray our five daily prayers. This person is praying the night prayer, yes, that will.
		

			Because he is afraid of the hereafter. He is afraid, cautious, find to protect himself because
hidden is such fear that leads you to take some kind of precautionary measures. It's not fear that
causes you to freeze. It's fear that makes you take cover.
		

			So yes,
		

			he is praying here because he's afraid of the hereafter. Well, would you and he hopes for his hoping
for Martha be the mercy of his Lord yo Jew from the word of a job. So he's praying out of fear of
the Hereafter, the difficulties and the punishment of the Hereafter, and hoping for the mercy of his
Lord, which mercy when in this world and in the next world? What's the Lama referring to so that the
Buddha is removed from him? He's making dua to Allah in the night. He's praying to Allah in the
night hoping for Rama, so that his difficulties in this world are removed and also he gets reward in
the hereafter. Allah says cool, say * is yester we he is equal. Are they equal? Who Alladhina
		

			Jana moon, those people who have those who know when Lavina and those who lie animo, they do not
know. Are they the same? People who know and people who don't know? Are they equal? No, they're not
equal, because look at the difference in their action. One is a person who is ignorant of his Lord
ignorant of the hereafter. He calls upon Allah just for some worldly way.
		

			Reasons and as soon as he has his dunya fixed he forgets about Allah and the other is the one who
was calling upon Allah for a greater reason not just for dunya reasons but also the hereafter
		

			will * yes that will Lavina Jana Munna will Ledeen Allah Allah moon in Amma, indeed only yet
other Kuru he takes heed who all will and bad people are the intellect people of understanding.
They're the ones who really take a lesson. Now we see over here, this person is also afflicted with
some hardship, because this is a continuation of the previous idea, right? So what either muscle
Insano balloon, when difficulty hits man, one reaction is that he only makes dua to Allah at that
time, and then later on, he forgets, and the other attitude is mentioned in this ayah. Number nine,
that the hardship walk this person up. So what did he do? He knelt before his Lord, he was kneeling
		

			before Allah, but he knew that the hardship of the Hereafter is much more severe.
		

			The hardship of this dunya it woke him up, because he see, we're human beings, we need some push, we
need some incentive, we need some, you know, a pinch or something to move us. Otherwise, I mean, if
everything is good, it would be very difficult to wake up in the middle of the night and make dua to
Allah, isn't it? Why do you have a whole lot of exams coming up? Right? Or when you have some
financial crisis or some health issues or family problems, whatever it is, it doesn't let you sleep,
isn't it?
		

			It makes you wake up in the middle of the night. But then when you wake up in the middle of the
night, and you are asking Allah subhanaw taala for relief, the person who has knowledge he realizes
that the troubles of the Hereafter are far greater. Here I am crying about the pain that I feel in
my body. Imagine the pain and hellfire. So then a person thinks of the greater distress of the
hereafter. So then he doesn't just say I've been acting dunya Hasina. But he also says, what Phil
Rocky has been working on ever now. Do you see over here the Buddha became a means for him to wake
up and draw closer to Allah.
		

			You understand? He didn't forget Allah after his needs were met. Know.
		

			He really found closeness to Allah through this difficulty. And notice over here, yeah, the whole
Hirata way here, would you Rama therapy.
		

			When he's praying to Allah, what's the objective? There is a combination of fear and hope.
		

			Yeah, that will fear. Y'all do rock mythology, hope there is a combination of fear and hope. And
then who is mentioned, those who have knowledge. So people have knowledge.
		

			They combine hope with fear.
		

			The person who has combines hope with fear and it's the way of the ignorant to only dwell upon fear
or only dwell in hope.
		

			Because the Quran is very balanced, isn't it very balanced, where punishment is mentioned, reward is
also mentioned, where the don'ts are mentioned the do's are also mentioned where the conditions are
mentioned the the aloud matters are also mentioned. So the Quran creates a balanced personality. So
with true knowledge, a person is able to combine hope with fear. We see in a hadith the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, once he entered upon a young man who was at the verge of dying, and the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam asked him How do you feel? And the man said, I have hope in Allah. Well, Messenger
of Allah, but I also fear my sins. I have hope in Allah. But at the same time, I'm afraid of my
		

			sins. And the prophets of Allah Selim said these two things meaning hope and fear, do not coexist in
the heart of a person in a situation like this, except that Allah will give him that which he hopes
for, and keeps him safe from that which he fears. Meaning if at this time, at the verge of dying, if
you have hope and fear in your heart, then what will happen Allah will give you what you're hopeful
for, and He will protect you from what you are afraid of.
		

			So this beautiful combination has to be there hope and fear. Why hope because why not? Why not have
open Allah? Is there any sin that is difficult for Allah to forgive?
		

			None at all.
		

			Allah's forgiveness is always greater than our sins. Isn't it's, it's always always greater than
		

			ours is Allah subhanaw taala His name is the love, so why not have hope in Allah? And with regards
to our difficulties in life again, why not have open Allah? Because if every night, think about it
every night, once the time is over Allah subhanaw taala brings the day after every winter spring
comes, then why not in our life when there's a chapter of hardship? Allah subhanaw taala can
definitely bring a chapter of, of good faith is it's possible for him. So hope and why fear? Why
fear Allah subhanaw taala because definitely even the smallest of sin
		

			is a serious sin. Why? Because it's committed against who Allah subhanaw taala
		

			So, yo do Rama therapy, both of them need to be combined fear and hope. We will listen to the
recitation well either muscle
