Taleem al Quran 2012 – P25 258E Tafsir Al-Jathiah 16-23

Well occurred and certainly it now we gave Benny Israel the children of Israel eel al Kitab, the Book, meaning the Torah, while hookman and the judgment meaning law, they were given the book, as well as the law, meaning how to follow the book, How to Practice what's in the book, and that can only be done if a person understands what is in the book. So her law as an understanding of the book Helcom can also be understood as political power governance, kingship that Allah subhanaw taala gave to Bani Israel. So for example prophet that would replace and I'm sorry, man, Ernie salaam, they were kings. So the Bani Israel were given divine scripture, they were given Heroku one Naboo and

also prophethood, meaning amongst them, Allah sent many prophets was up in our home and we provided them may not be bad, of the good things many good things Allah gave them with Allah Allah home and we prefer them. Allah Allah Allah mean over the world's meaning ALLAH chose them over the people of the world's what I attain our home, and we gave them beginner 10 Clear Signs, clear proofs, mineral armor of the matter which matter the matter of religion.

Just as we see that in the Quran, there are so many proofs given right benefits and wisdoms that are mentioned for different commands, different orders that Allah has given behind them. What are those reasons? What are the wisdoms? What are the benefits they're given, the proofs are given. So the Bani Israel were also equipped with proofs, why proofs because it helps you believe it helps you understand it helps you accept. But what happened from us or not, is telephone they differed in law except mimbar, the after merger, a homeowner anymore after that knowledge had come to them.

They had the book, they had the Hukum. They had the prophethood they had so many blessings, they had the proofs, yet they fell into differences. Why were they ignorant? No, they had knowledge. But then how did they fall into so many differences Boolean Boehner home out of jealous animosity between themselves

meaning differing from another, simply because of a bias against him?

Because many times it happens that someone will present their case or their opinion with proof with evidence. But we're not willing to accept why because then we have to admit that we were wrong. And that means that they were right. And that means that they understood and that means that they're better than us. Well, you know what I'm going to be firm about my opinion. I'm never going to give up. This is bully out of jealousy. This is how differences or roles you see differences are fine. The problem is division if the left over here is referring to their division. This division was a result of their bully jealous animosity between themselves. Allah says in the Rebecca indeed your

Lord jakoli By now home, he will judge between them. Yo Murthy Amma on the Day of Judgment, FEMA can will fee of telephone concerning that which they used to differ in. Why is this been mentioned over here? Another face of pride.

Earlier we learned one side of pride. And what is that outright rejection of Allah's versus carrying on as if a person never hurt? This is one form of pride one form of arrogance. Here another form of arrogance is mentioned is described stubborn opposition of others.

Right? Because this also blinds a person to the truth. We see that the Bani Israel had real they had knowledge, but their knowledge was not enough to save them from Pride. Right? Pride is an evil. It's something that prevents a person from the Hulk. But knowledge alone is not enough to save a person from arrogance. It doesn't protect a person, what is necessary with knowledge is has Shia fear of Allah so much or NACA, then we have made you meaning then after Bani Israel, we have put you as you are Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Alessia de itin upon a Sharia. What is surely an ordained way. Sharia literally is a clear path. A clear course of action shot here is used for a manifest

open, clear road. All right, and

Shut era. It means a watering place what is shut era, a watering place meaning a place where people and animals they come in order to drink water in order to wash up in order to take water. And the word Sharia is used for law. Why?

Because living it practicing it

will bring eternal life just as water, it is necessary for life. Likewise, Sharia is necessary for eternal life. So So majolica Allah Sharia it Minal Emery of the matter concerning the matter which matter of religion, meaning now we have given you a law and where is that law in the Quran? What was mentioned in the first I have this is a revelation of who Allah is is Al Hakim. So Allah says Fatah we are her so follow it while at the beer and do not follow a hula Levina the desires of those people who lie on the Moon who do not know who do not have knowledge, don't follow them. Rather follow the knowledge that Allah has given you in through the Zoho fire 43 Allah says, for some sake,

below the or here a lake, in the corner, so nothing was stopping, hold on to that which Allah has revealed to you. So what is mentioned in this is that we have given you solid proofs, we have equipped you with clear proofs, so do not follow those who do not have these proofs in the home indeed they lay you know, they will never benefit unka you they will never avail you.

mean Allah He against Allah shaitan anything, they're not going to help you against Allah at all mean they're not going to save you from Allah's punishment. Who, those people who do not know, if you follow their desires, if you do what they want you to do, because you see in Makkah, what was happening every now and then people of Macau will come to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam and offer him different things to make him stop his Dawa. Isn't it what happened in Medina, the Al Kitab they had their own strategies of stopping the people from Iman. So what is mentioned in these verses don't listen to these people don't follow their desires. Allah has given you knowledge, choose

knowledge over vain desires. And this is how we need to view our deen also. If we follow the deen we're not doing something wrong. We're doing something very powerful. We're on.

We're doing something based on our own. And if we leave the deen and we start doing what people want us to do, we're following their desires their wishes.

So never feel weak if you're following Allah's commands, because in the home Leyland or uncoming Allah He che what in the world Amin and indeed the wrongdoers Bardot, whom some of them are Alia, Oberle, they are friends of others. They help each other they all think alike. Because the Prophet salallahu Salam faced the same thing in Makkah, as well as in Medina. Allahu Allah Yun with the cane and Allah is the Protector of the righteous. So you obey Allah and do not fear these people and realize that Allah will protect you have that this is meaning this Quran is Basa ruling NAS it is enlightenment for all people Bissau is Florida of the word basura.

I'm here Seba um or has Seba, he thinks who Alladhina Tara who? Those who commit evils or say add evils, it's thorough from the root letters Jean Raha and Joe, or George rather is used for a wound meaning to wound someone to injure someone and from this the word itch that I had generally is used for committing a crime. So those who each thought who said he had who commit evils do they think that an Niger Allah home that we are going to make them can Medina Amma know like those who believe what AMILO Salah ha

At and they also do righteous deeds. Do they think that they will be made similar to those who believe and do righteousness? How? That's why an equal same will be Mahia, whom they're living warmer to them and they're dying.

Those who commit evil and those who believe and do righteous deeds, they're completely different. They cannot be the same in their living and in their dying. Very different Allah Azza Amaya comun evil is that which they judge, they can never be the same. Instead of Allah Maya 35 Allah says 100 year old Muslim Mina Cal moody mean, Malecon caverta comun should we make those who surrender to Allah like those who commit crimes? What's wrong with you? What kind of a judgment are you making? into it? How should I a 20 Allah says lay as though he was habanero was horrible Jana, those who will end up in Jannah. And those who will end up in hell, they're not the same as Hubble Jannetty.

Morpha is on it's the people who have Janna will be successful wahala kala who somehow worth you will all and Allah has created the skies and the earth, how Bill helped me in truth. Allah has created them in truth.

What does this mean?

That How could you think that you could go on living your life however you want, without any principles, without any rules that Allah has given you? Allah has created this universe in truth, while he told you the answer, and it will be recompensed who will be recompensed? Could Luna Epson every soul be Makassar, but according to what it has earned, well whom law US law moon and they will not be wronged. So what's the message here? That it does not benefit Allah's justice? That he would make all people equal in their results? No.

Why is this being mentioned? We see from the beginning of the surah

you know, the way of the deniers has been mentioned those who are arrogant towards Allah as if all right, those who mock at them, those who persist arrogantly on the wrong ways. And then the example of Bani Israel is given that how, despite knowledge, they fell into division.

Right, because of their pride. So different forms of pride are mentioned. And here another form of pride is mentioned that thinking that you know what, we just live this life and that's it there's no hereafter do whatever you want. No, this is not how Allah has created this earth this universe into sada 28 Allah says I'm not sure I know ladina Amma know why I'm you know, slowly Hardy can move sildenafil out. I'm not sure I don't move the clinical food jar

should we make those who believe in do righteous deeds, like those who cause corruption in the land? That's not fair. Instead of the Doohan i a 39. While now halacha sama what you will although Mr. Boehner who Mallory being same thing is mentioned here that we have created them will help for a reason for Just Cause yet many people wish to live their lives, how freely

I want to do whatever I want. Don't tell me God says this. And God says that and I have to follow this book and I have to follow these rules. No, I want to live however I want. And to the piano i a 36. Allah says I accept will insert a new traka Sudha does man think that he will be left on his own like, you will not be asked about what he's doing. This is what man wants. This is what people want. Let me do what I want. I don't want to follow any rules. And that is what's mentioned in the next I FRR Atia, then have you seen man? Who meaning the person who is the father, he has taken Illa who his God, His object of worship.

What does he worship, however, his own desire? The person who has made his desire his God, who is ILA, who is God,

who is God? What's the definition of God? Yes.

Exactly that which is worshipped,

that which is obeyed, that which is loved, that which is feared.

Right? That whose pleasure approval, one is striving to attain. So he's striving for the cause of his God. Right? He's striving towards his God, striving hard in order to please his God. This is who Allah is, could be an idol. Could be even a person's own desire, as we see over here. So I found an ADA, Manitoba, ILAHA, who Hawa who he worships his own desire, meaning he obeys His desire and

never refuses his desire.

Basically, he does what he pleases.

And if you think about it, how often this is what we want, I want to be able to do whatever I want. Don't tell me how I should talk and how I should dress and how I should wake up and when I should wake up. No, I want to do what I feel like. I want to do what I want. Let me be

Allah says, A Farah ater money Taha Illa, who Hawa who

will obey Allah who you see, one level is to follow the desire, right? One level is to follow the desire, which is dangerous. But here what has been mentioned worshiping the desire, because that is destructive. And so it's CalFire 28. We learn wala to Thurman Alpha La Palma, who aren't the cleaner? What Tabara howhow? What kind of honourable Furuta his matters of extreme why? Because he follows his desire, the one who follows His desire is in danger. But the one who's worshipping his desire, meaning always obedient to His desire.

You see, our wishes our desire, it tells us for instance, continuous sleeping.

If we keep sleeping, what's going to happen? We're going to miss our two who isn't it? Are there consequences? There are

and then a person will say, forget it. I'm not even going to try fasting. It's too difficult. Why do we have to fast anyway?

You see how following the desire is dangerous, but worshiping the desire never say no to the desire.

This is destructive. It doesn't allow a person to respect anyone to achieve something in life. To fulfill the purpose of his life. Its destructive.

A robocall Oh, just as he said that money Tada Illa, who Hawa who, what this means is that he obeys his desires, as he should obey Allah. He obeys his desires, as he should obey Allah. So what happens? Well, Allah Allahu, Allahu Allah sends him astray, allows him to go astray, Allah will mean upon knowledge, meaning, because of Allah's knowledge, concerning this person, Allah lets him go astray. Meaning Allah knows that this person is not worthy of guidance. Why is he not worthy of guidance? Because repeatedly he has shown that for him, his priority is what it says desire. It's nobody else, nothing else his own desire, that's it.

So Allah knows concerning this person, that he's not worthy of guidance to Allah let him go astray. Another meaning of what Allah Allahu Allahu Allah Illman Allah Illman meaning despite knowledge, that this person who is worshiping his desire is not ignorant, he actually has knowledge

he has.

But because he is constantly obedient to His desire, Allah lets him go astray. So in other words, his knowledge will not rescue him.

His knowledge is not saving him from misguidance it's not protecting him from going astray. Why? Because he's worshiping his desire will hurt them Allah summary were called biggie. And Allah sets a seal upon his hearing and his heart. What gyla Allah bacillary Healy Shaohua and upon his vision, Allah places availe vision, hearing heart, these are means through which we comprehend, and if they're sealed, if they're closed, if they're veiled. What does it mean a person doesn't understand anymore?

For me yesterday, he then who can guide him mimbar the law after Allah, who can guide such a person? No one can I fell after the karoun Then will you not be reminded? And will you not refuse your desires? Will you continue to follow your desires and put yourselves in danger? What do we learn in this? i Oh,

I think I need to rest my throat I'm fasting too.

What do we learn in this if

you see sometimes we find problems in our practice of the deen. Right. So for instance, we see that we're not really praying at the right time. And we think you know what, I better start learning Islam when we start learning Islam. But if we're learning,

but we continue to follow our desires, our knowledge is useless. If it's not being acted upon. Knowledge is not enough to save a person.

It's not enough

It is a means but it is not enough.

What is necessary? If you want to save yourself, what do you have to do?

Follow your desire, worship your desire or lead it.

You have to lead it you have to take control. Like what I said earlier, take control of your life don't be led, rather lead.

Don't be led. Don't keep giving authority to others don't become weak in front of your desires in front of your wishes.

Be stronger. So seeking real alone is not enough to save us. What is necessary than her share of Allah is essential. in Tirana Ziraat I have 14 Allah says what a meme and half I'm a camo Obi Wan a hand NAFSA en el Hawa

the one who fears the position of his Lord, and he stops the soul from howa from fulfilling desire for indulgence to heal not worse than indeed Jana will be his aboard who's award the person who fears Allah and therefore says no to his desire.

Desire in and of itself is not evil. All desires are not evil. It becomes problematic when it's given too much authority when it's given too much control.

When it's taken as ILA then it's a problem.

Even profit that would or his salaam was warned into Salah 26 Allah says yada wudu in natural NACA Khalifa can fill up fat combiner NASA will help wala that who will however, do not follow your desire. Because for you Lilla Karen Seville Allah, it will lead you astray from the Path of Allah.

If you want to remain guided, then you better learn to control your desires and fasting. Ramadan is a practice of what controlling your desires, saying no to yourself, disturbing your inner comfort. This is what Ramadan is all about. You're disturbing your sleep schedule, your eating schedule, isn't it? You're standing at a time that you want to be lying down. This is what a constant training, learn to say no to yourself.

You know, we've asked about having difficulty saying no to others. Have you tried saying no to yourself?

That is a big challenge saying no to yourself. And if a person can conquer himself, then he can conquer anything if he can conquer himself, if we can control our desires. So what's the lesson of this? If?

Yes?

Yes, you see the shayateen are locked. But the knifes is still there. And in enough Salah Amala Don't be sue the nafs orders one to do evil. So don't say to yourself, I'll do what I feel like. I mean, you can say it sometimes, but not all the time. So for example, when it's time to pray in the night, right? Don't say, I'll see what I feel like. Right? I'll see what I feel like and I'll see if I want to pray that we or not. I'll see. Well, if you give control to your desire, what is it going to tell you? Don't go to the masjid. And if you are in the masjid, what is it going to tell you? Why don't you go take a break? Check your phone. Right? Check some updates. There's a lot going on in

the world right now. You've been so busy all day. Get some updates, you know, sit with your friends, relax. If you let your knifes take the lead,

it will never let you succeed. Go ahead, Simon. I'm thinking that there is a way to trick yourself into doing some things are examples of Tavira. What I do with myself is I go to therapy with my mom. And I tell myself Okay, I'm gonna pray the first two really good. And then we'll see what happens. And then once I do that, I'm going to I'm like, Okay, now next to so it's just take step by step and then you don't even realize that you're finished. But when you say I have to pray all eight, then you think that it's way too difficult. Yeah, I mean, there's different strategies, different ways we can come up with to convince our soul, but we have to do something again we have to take charge we

have to take responsibility. So I was listening to Chef the future Audrey and he was saying Ramadan is a true self reflection of yourself. So if you can do either an act of worship in the month of Ramadan, then that means you really can do it because there is no shaitan and second, I was listening to styles of lecture and she was saying that

GABA is the place of resting. So if you're not selling you to sleep and not sand for Cleon, tell yourself, if I'm not going to do it now, then when am I going to do it? And get up? And just remind yourself a Jamar do that few days. And what I tell myself is, you know, 10, verses minimum, right? And when you start with 10, then you know, you're like, let me do some more, let me do some more. And then you keep increasing. Go ahead. When Ramadan was starting my students, they know that I'm having addiction of tea, right? And most of my students are non Muslims, like they are Hindus and Punjab and Christians. So they said, like, Teacher, how are you going to do? I said to them, you're

going to see, okay, so they said, Okay, we were thinking like the high school students, right? We are thinking how the Ramadan is gonna go, you're gonna fast for 18 hours? I said, Yes, we will see, right. So what happened on Tuesday class, you know, another student said, I asked, you know, so how many students in your class are fasting, right? They said, all of them, except one, why he's not fasting. I said, Okay, did he check? It's so easy for everybody, they can fast for 18 hours? Then they said, How come? It's very difficult for us, but they say, Look, we can do it, because we have a stand to do it. So we underestimate ourselves. Yes, this is true. You know, the soul, the desire,

and wants comfort, the soul desires, comfort, right? And we think that if we don't get that comfort, we won't be happy will suffer. So we consider comfort, as a necessity. We make ourselves weak.

But fasting that and when you force yourself when you push yourself to worship Allah subhanaw taala in any way, what does that teach you, you're stronger. If you follow your desire, it will make you feel you're weak. But obedience to Allah teaches you that you're stronger. Salam Alikum, once I was listening to Muhammad, Hassan, he was saying the nurses like two years old, the baby, you know, when you start to stop breastfeeding, what happened the first day, he's gonna cry, the second day, he will cry, and then he will get used to it. So you have to train yourself, you're gonna cry for his day, second day, in then when you be tough on yourself, you will get through very, very good

example. Perfect example. Right? Anything that you start with at the beginning, it's difficult. And that's why if you if you want to make sure you get things done, you know, go right into them. So for example, when I was able to go for therapy with my, you know, when the kids weren't there, right now, because they have schools that are always late, I'm not able to go, so I have the library at home. But when I would go to the masjid myself, I would go stand in the first row.

Okay, why in the first row, because when you're in the first row, you're basically stuck.

Right? You're stuck in the sense that if you get up and you try to leave, then you're going to lose your spot, because people are waiting to jump for your spot, isn't it? And if you lose that spot, then call us. You know, you could be somewhere in the back and constant noise and disturbance and movement. You can't have that for sure. So put yourself in a position where you don't have the choice to back off.

At the beginning it will be tough, but then you'll do it. Just like fasting. When you start fasting at the beginning of the day, you're afraid, how is it going to happen? How's it going to happen but you know, now you're in it to bed, you're in it. So you make it till the end of the day. And this is how we should say no to our desire.

Now, it doesn't mean that we have to say no to the desire all the time. But of course at a time when the desire is telling us to do something that is against Allah's commands, then we must say no.

We will listen to the recitation. wallop
