Taleem al Quran 2012 – P24 244B Tafsir Al-Zumar 53-55

I am number 53 Paul say, oh Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you say, you announce you proclaim,

you let everybody know.

Yeah, everybody, all my servants, deliver a message to all of mankind, that your Lord says, All My servants, because the fact is that we are all Allah's servants.

Every creature is Allah's in Surah Maryam Allah subhanaw taala says that in Kulu man for some are wealthy, well, all the Illa Atilla man yeah Buddha, there is no one in the heavens or the earth except that he is a servant to the Most Merciful. So yeah, a bad D, all my servants, with servants. What is their description? What is their reality? Their reality is a Lavina. Those who are slothful, they have transgressed. They have transgressed against who Allah unfussy him against themselves.

Those who have transgressed against themselves, how, by committing sin, because in reality, when we commit sins, who is it that we harm first and foremost, it is ourselves. A sorrowful is from the root letter seen Rafa and set off is to neglect to spoil when something gets spoiled, it corrodes. And from the same root is the word is rough and is rough is excess, or neglect of the set boundaries. You see, for everything, there are set boundaries. Like for example, if a person has money, and he's going to spend it on food, even for that there is a set boundary, when it comes to speaking, the words that we choose, the manner in which we speak, there are some set boundaries,

when it comes to our dealings with other people, when it comes to any action that we do sleeping, eating, talking, any action that we do, there are set boundaries, and is thrive is to neglect those set boundaries and commit access. So in essence, Islam is the gel was will had, as servants of Allah, there are certain limits that have been set for us. And going beyond those limits, that is rough. So in other words, Islam is to commit sin, to commit sin.

So Alladhina Asafa Allah and fusi Him, those who have committed those who have transgressed against themselves, how, by sending too much. They've done ISR off, they've gone way out of bounds, they've spent way too much.

And in reality, we all are included in this, because which day is it? When we don't disobey Allah in one matter or another?

Which situation is it? Which state is it? When we don't end up committing something wrong? We're imperfect, right? And we forget, no matter what we do, no matter what we start, no matter what we touch, what happens, we end up falling short, one way or another, in one situation or another. This is our reality. But there is a message from Allah. For such servants through who through the prophets, Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam And this just shows how important this message is. And look at how the aisle begins. Yeah, everybody My servants by saying my there's a lot of there's kindness, there's affection. This is a very loving address. This is not anger. This is love. Yeah, everybody

Alladhina sarafa Allah unfussy him. What's the message last duck not who do not despair? From what mid Rahmatullah from the Mercy of Allah Latok not to cough known thought to note, to note is to become disheartened to become disappointed to abandon hope to lose courage to become pessimistic

To give up hope, of receiving any goodness. The thing is when we start thinking about our sins and we start seeing them we start realizing them. We feel bad. And Chopin, he tells us there is no hope for you. You tried fixing your prayers last week and look at you again this week. Look at you again this week. Yes, maybe you managed to perform a few prayers on time but look at you. You know, there is no hope for you. Here you are praying Salah and look at how you talk to your mother. But what does Allah say? Last duck now to mid Rahmatullah. Do not abandon hope. Do not lose courage, do not feel disheartened from the Mercy of Allah. What is the Mercy of Allah, His favor His forgiveness,

when he gives the ability to a servant, to improve, to change his ways to seek forgiveness from Allah. So don't lose hope in the Mercy of Allah. Never, ever think that you are unforgivable. No matter how many sins you've committed,

no matter how bad they may be, no matter how serious they may be, no matter how grave they may be, no matter how bad your history is, no matter how embarrassed and ashamed you feel about it, still Lapdock notl Mira Rahmatullah. Do not despair from the mercy of Allah. In Allaha. Indeed, Allah, why is it that you should not give up hope in Allah? Because indeed, Allah yelled futile, He forgives, what does he forgive the noob

the sins which sins, Jamia? All without exception, regardless of their enormity, their gravity, their seriousness, their great numbers, Allah forgives all sins. What is forgiveness? What is mafia law set through them what the job was on who to conceal a sin, and then pardon it, to conceal it and pardon it, not hold someone accountable, not make them suffer the consequences of their action? This is mofetil Allah says he yellowfin with de novo Jamia and what are the turn of the word then every action that brings a harmful consequence and the word van can apply to any sin, whether small, or big, minor or major, the most major even

when a person repents and he seeks forgiveness from Allah than in the Lucha yellowfin with the Nova Jamia because it know who Allah foetal Rahim indeed He, He alone is the most forgiving, a lawful, the one who forgives over and over again. And he is a laheem, the Merciful whose mercy never ends. But the condition is that you turn back you leave the wrong that you are doing, you leave the sin and you go to Allah and when you go to Him, you will find him forgiving and merciful. We see that in this ayah all of mankind is addressed very lovingly,

very lovingly, very affectionately, specifically the sinners.

And there is an invitation over here to have hope in Allah's mercy and turn to him in repentance. There is a Hadith and Behati in which we learned even our best for the long run. He said that there were some people who were mostly keen, and they had committed many crimes. They had committed many murders. They had committed Zina numerous times excessively,

and they came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and they said, O Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whatever you say and invite people to is very good. We like what you say. We like your invitation. It makes a lot of sense. We want to accept it. But could you tell us about the explanation for what we have done? Meaning can we ever be forgiven for what we have done in our past? Our history, our records, our criminal records, is there any way that that will be forgiven? Is there any possibility any room for forgiveness

and even our basketball dilemma and who said so Allah revealed this is

this isn't

Bahati these are people with a life full of sins and not just small sins, their major sins at the murder, not just one murder, many murders Zina not just once or twice, numerous times. So you're talking about major, major sins and what is said over here. Ladakh, Nepal Mira Rahmatullah do not give up hope in the Mercy of Allah. You see, hope comes first, then comes is still far and Toba. If we don't have hope in Allah's mercy, we cannot seek forgiveness from him. We cannot repent from our sins because Repentance means we leave the sense. Repentance means that we beg Allah to forgive us for what we have done, we admit it, we feel regret over it, we leave it and we promise never to

repeat it. We try our best this is repentance. But repentance cannot happen unless and until there is hope. What does Shavon do? He destroys hope. What do people do? Even they kill hope in us? What does Allah say? Let us know to always, always have hope. Never leave hope. Hope is so important. We learned in a hadith at once. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went out with a group of his companions. And these companions, they were laughing, and they were talking are killing basically. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't like all that laughter. He said by the one in his hand, my soul is if you knew what I knew, you would laugh little and weep much. And then he left and

the Sahaba started crying.

And Allah subhanaw taala revealed to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that why did you make my slaves despair? Why did you make my slaves despair? Why did you make them leave hope, to such an extent that they're crying to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said, give good news. He said to the people, give good news, guide people and draw near to one another meaning have hope. Give good news, give hope. Let Takato Natu no matter what sin has been committed, no matter how old the person is, no matter how guilty they are, no matter what their record is. Always, always give hope. Latok Natu mera Rahmatullah and this is Laos. This is really making your deen only for Allah, your worship only

for Allah because there is no escape from Allah except to Allah.

When I do good, I turned to him. And when I sin, I turned to him. He is the center the focus the eternal refuge. So Latok Natoma Rahmatullah. Why? Because in the Lucha yellowfin with de novo Jamia in know who will afford a Rahim

nobody needs to stay back. No one needs to stay behind from coming towards Allah azza wa jal in Surah Nisa i 110. Allah says, Well, my yarmulke su N. O yo Lim NAFSA who? Su miasto Fetullah Yejide la la hora Rahima whoever doesn't evil action or he wrongs himself and then he seeks forgiveness from Allah he will find Allah forgiving and merciful. Intro to Toba i 104 Allah says Allah Ya Allah no and Allahu Akbar luto baton everybody. Do they not know? Have they forgotten? What happened? Don't they know that it is Allah Who accepts repentance from His servants? He accepts repentance from His servants. Because he is a thug. He's a Rahim.

This ayah does not mean keep on sinning. Do whatever you want, and Allah will forgive you. What this ayah means is, don't stay back from so far. Don't hold yourself back from repentance. No matter what you've done. There is always a chance for you to go back to Allah as long as you are alive. Because we learned from other places in the Quran, that if a person delays Toba, he delays is too far until the very end of his life. And he says you know what, before I die LTQ forgiveness, like founded, then that's too late. That is not real Toba? Real Toba is when you can sin when you can disobey Allah, but you realize this is wrong. This is something Allah does not approve. So you feel guilty

about having done it before, and you feel bad about inclining towards it again. And you ask ALLAH forgive me from my past and save me from what I'm about to do, or what I could do. You give me the strength to avoid it. You forgive me? This is the elbow that when you choose to leave a sin

So this idea what this means is, go towards Allah. seek forgiveness from Allah. Return from your sins. Don't keep yourself back. And that's exactly what the next ayah says, what a Neagu ILA become, while and an evil, all of you return, meaning do not despair Latok notto Do not despair. Instead, what should you do? Enable return? Return to, to Allah, even with this whole baggage of sins? Yes. No matter how far you've gone, turn back and go home.

Turn back and go to Allah.

Go to your refuge. Because where else can you go?

And Eboo Isla become, you see the word an evil from the same root is a word Nope. And what does no mean? A honeybee? Because a honeybee when it leaves its hive goes back. It goes back. And that's what we need to do. When we do is slough off when we catch ourselves when we find ourselves doing something wrong, instead of staying there and justifying that sin, or persisting in that wrong action, finding excuses for it. Or on the other hand, despairing of Allah's mercy, thinking there's no hope left for me. No, don't stay there. Go back to Allah. And you either a become

what ously moolah who? And submit to him?

Go back to Allah meaning repent, a slim or level submit to Him. What does Islam mean surrender? Because you're a servant anyway. So show servitude, show obedience. You see Inaba is with the heart. And Islam is with the limbs, in other is repentance and where's repentance? It's in the heart.

But then, don't just sit well, I feel so bad.

And then you keep doing your wrong actions, no ously Moula who submit to Him, submit your limbs to him also, meaning bring the change in your actions. Whatever sin you were committing before you left it

you're going to Allah seeking His forgiveness, but then also leave that sin. And then a threat is given Min cobbly before on that yet to Kamala, the punishment comes to you. Leave your sin, turn back to Allah surrender to him before the punishment of your sins, comes to you some Malathion saloon, and then you shall not be helped.

When the punishment comes, then there is no help. So repent before it's too late, do not delay. What is this is telling us that Allah subhanaw taala does not mind accepting his sinful servants. He does not mind forgiving them at all. Do people mind? Do we mind if somebody has wronged us? And they come to us saying sorry.

We mind a lot. Even to hear the word sorry.

That firstly, you did something wrong. And now you're embarrassing me by saying sorry, so that I have to forgive you. Whereas I was hurt. You wronged me? You understand what I'm saying? But what do you see here? An evil in our become? Why? Because Allah does not mind accepting his sinful servants at all. He doesn't mind forgiving his sinful servants at all. Everyone is welcome.

This is what this means. Allah rejoices when his servants returned to him. All sinners are welcome before Allah, all sinners.

In a hadith we learn the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,

he described how happy Allah subhanaw taala is when his servant repents to him. He said, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of a servant when he turns towards him for repentance. Then the person among you who was upon his camel, who has a camel, and on his camel are all of his goodies, all of his means of survival in the journey, and then that person loses that camel.

When he loses that camel, he begins looking for that camel. And then he gives up. He doesn't think that the camel is going to return. So he falls asleep. And then when he wakes up, he finds his camel in front of him. Do you think that person

We'll be happy. He will rejoice he will be jumping out of joy screaming out of joy. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah is more happy than this person. And a hadith we learned that that person because of his extreme happiness, he ends up saying something that is completely inappropriate. Because of extreme happiness. He says, Oh Allah, you are my servant, and I am your Lord. You understand? Why did he make that mistake? He didn't mean it. It was an accident because of extreme joy. It's like his senses were overcome. In this is the max level of happiness.

The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Allah is more happy. You think this guy's happy? Allah is more happy when a servant repents to him.

So don't keep yourself back. Go to Allah. Did you want to say something?

How many times would you keep saying sorry? Just to embarrass the other system? Yes. I mean, people get angry. When they're told I'm sorry.

Alright, because it's as if they're being forced to forgive and they don't want to forgive. But what do we learn? Allah loves, loves to forgive. So what a Neagu ILA or become what ously moolah who returned to him and submit to Him, again, this is a class, turn to Him, submit to Him, because you see sin is rebellion is rough. So come out of that state. Go to Him and surrender to Him. Obey Him. And remember that life is short. It is limited, Until when will you run around in rebellion to your Lord? Until when will you neglect him? The consequences of your actions are real. So save yourself an evil eel or become what Asli moolah who mean? Probably a to Kamala either and what is this either

referring to referring to death, the punishment in the hereafter. But we see sometimes in this world also in this life also, we are made to taste the consequences of our sins.

And when that happens, when some disaster strikes, and we realize this is my own wrongdoing, I did something because of which Allah's Mercy was taken away from me because of which I'm suffering. Similar concern then who helps us but the good news is that as long as a person is alive, he's welcome. He must repent he must take advantage what the be through Allah says and follow pursue be on the track of what Santa the best, best of what my dad which owns the La La comme mera become that which has been revealed to you from your Lord. And what is it that has been revealed? It's the Quran. So follow the ISON the arson being the best of it. You see, what this ayah means is that the

Quran in itself is excellent because it is our son. It doesn't mean that part of the Quran or some other parts are bad, no, not at all. Our son as an In itself it is entirely Excellent. Every command every order that is given in the Quran is excellent. So follow it. Why are you pursuing your desires, committing excess committing sin, follow what Allah has said, what Allah has revealed and what is it that Allah has revealed? It is excellent, it is the best thing for you.

If you follow it, only you will benefit and Asana man on Zillow, illegal middle have become this is also implying that the Quran is the best of all scriptures that Allah has revealed. So follow that men cobbly. Again, urgency, because we delay doing COBOL right? We delay Koba. Why do we delay? We delay out of this fear that you know what? I'm not strong enough. So here I am going to do Toba today. And tomorrow, I'm going to make the same mistake. We delay, isn't it? This is why we also delay doing certain good deeds. I'm not strong enough. I'll wait. You know, maybe until I'm 20 or 30 or something, and then I will do it. what guarantee do you have that you will live until tomorrow

that you will live until you're 20 or 30 or 40? You don't have that guarantee.

So repent before it's late. follow what Allah has revealed before it's led men probably to Kamala, before the punishment comes to you bow taken by surprise without any warning, or uncom letters your own and you do not perceive meaning you do not perceive its arrival. You never saw it coming. You didn't think it would happen. But then it came. The Quran is indeed the best scripture that Allah has revealed.

In a hadith the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Allah has set forth an example, an example, what is that example, there is a road, which leads straight to the destination, there is a road that leads were straight to the destination, meaning if you stay on the road, if you keep rocking, where is it that you're going to end up destination. All right. On either side of the road, there are wolves. So on both sides, there are wolves. And because of those wolves, the path is straight within those walls, or open doors, but all those open doors are curtains,

you understand what's happening.

On those open doors are curtains,

there's a voice coming from

the front, coming from the end of the road. And that voice says, proceed straight. And don't turn on any side. proceed straight, do not lift any curtain, do not go into any door. Because if you do, you're going to fall, it's not going to let you stay on track. And you're never going to make it to your destination then. So there is a voice from the front that's constantly reminding, proceed straight and do not turn to any side. So when a person intends to lift a curtain, because it's stumping, right, there isn't just one door, there are many doors, not just on one side, but both sides. Where do you look? You understand? You're gonna look. And then if there's a door that's open

and a curtain, there's going to be curiosity. I wonder what's there. And when you keep walking on that road, you know, Shyvana tacks, and then you feel kind of bored and you want to explore different things. So each time a person intends to lift the curtain, a voice from above calls him and says beware, don't lift the curtain, otherwise, you'll be lowered inside. If you open it, you're gonna go inside, so don't even open it. Don't even touch it. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam explained, he said the path, the straight path is Islam. So what's the destination then? It's Jana. in Surat, Al. Mr. Kane, what's the destination Allah's approval? The wolves are the limits set by

Allah.

The open doors are the things that he has prohibited.

And you see there is a curtain, you understand things that he has prohibited by, for example, lying, any action that is forbidden, that a Muslim should not do that a person who's striving for Allah's pleasure should not indulge in. Right? It's an open door, what does it mean? It's possible to commit that sin but there is a curtain. There is a curtain telling you don't even go here. Notice it's not a door which is locked, right? That you would have to unlock and then try to open. No. And this also implies it's very easy to go into that door very quickly. Right? But the open doors are the things that he has prohibited. The voice which calls from the end of the road is the Quran.

The voice that helps you stay on track is what? It's the Quran. Because it tells you this is a curtain a dangerous door. Right? It brings awareness to you.

It tells you proceed straight, don't turn to any site. And the voice which calls from above is Allah's monitor in the heart of every believer. Allah's monitor in the heart in every believer, meaning it's your heart that tells you don't do it. But it's the sound heart. It's the heart that is following the Quran, not the heart that is corrupted, right, the corrupted heart will say go here, go there, try this try that. But when a person keeps the Quran in front of him, and he follows the Quran, then he saved from Israel if he saved from committing haram, the monitor in the heart also, it helps a person remain guided. So what Toby Earl, I sent him out on Zillow, la Camilla become. I

love this hadith. It's amazing. You see there are so many opportunities, so many ways of doing wrong.

So many possibilities that come before us. In a day. Think about it. How many times is it that we come across a door that's open a door that's inviting us to sin? How many times so many times there's

So many tests and what helps you stay on track? It's the Quran. It's following the Quran. So what dubbio Asana own Zilla elago middle have become once you've come out of that door and you are on the straight path now remain Min cobbly to communicate verbally that and we're and Tom Latta Scharoun
