Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2012 – P26 260C Tafsir Al-Ahqaf 29-32

			In southern Africa, what have we seen so far? A contrast between those who believe and those who do
not those who are humble, and those who are not those who are grateful, and those who are not. Here
we saw the example of the people of art the people have odd who were given many blessings. But what
was their response of pride and off refusal of denial. Here we see another example the example of
the jinn. Allah subhanaw taala says What if and when, meaning recall the time when sawed off now, we
directed elaida towards you know phoron a group Meenal Genie of the gin, Seraph na alayka we
directed them towards you the word Soffa literally is to turn and sawed off ah Isla is to turn
		

			something towards a particular direction in a particular direction and sawed off now we who is this
referring to Allah subhanaw taala. So Allah sent the jinn meaning he turned their direction, towards
who towards the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam alayka towards you, as in Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. This means that the jinn were on their way, but Allah subhanaw taala created the
circumstances such that they ended up coming at the same spot where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was. So in other words, the jinn had no intention of looking for the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, but what happened? They just came upon him. Why? Because Allah created the
		

			circumstances such and this happens many times with us also. Right? That how often does it happen
that, you know, you go somewhere, and you don't plan with somebody that I'll see you there, I'll
meet you there. And you had no intention of going there either. Right? You end up at that place, and
other people end up at that same place. Also, you know, the funniest thing happened the other day, I
was going for groceries and I really didn't want to go by myself, right? Because you know, with kids
Ramadan, and of the day, it kind of gets difficult. So I was on my way, there was one grocery store,
I missed the turn, right, another grocery store that came in and I missed that turn also. Alright,
		

			finally, the third one came, I went inside. As soon as I got inside my husband called me where are
you? I'm like, I'm at the grocery stores like I'm there to which one like this one Alhamdulillah so
I just got everything, you know, left him at the cashier and walked out and hungry. So these
circumstances are created by who? Allah subhanaw taala so what is sort of na e Laker? We directed
them towards you who never a mineral gin, a group of the gin, the word now for noon fat Ra is used
for a group of people that are numbered somewhere between three and 10. So basically less than 10
All right, and not for mineral gin, a group of the jinn so they were less than 10 All right, and
		

			when they came upon the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam what happened? Yes, them your owner.
They were listening attentively. Allah Khurana to the Quran. How were they listening to the Quran?
Because somebody was reciting it. And who was reciting it, it was the prophets of Allah who already
was salam. So they heard him reciting the Quran, and they paid attention to it. For Lama so when how
the rule who they attended it from the root letters, how Bhadra how data is to be present somewhere,
right? How did someone whose present to attend? So fella Mahadasha, who when they attended the
recitation, on who they said, meaning to each other unsleep to be quiet, listen quietly, honestly,
		

			to noon, solid, that insight and insight is to listen attentively with silence. Because movement, or
any kind of talking even, that does not allow you to listen to everything, isn't it? How often it
happens that you're listening to a lecture and then you start walking? Right? And then because of
the walking, you kind of missed a word or two, because you were moving, even movement. So they said
to each other, I'm free to listen attentively with silence for Allama then when cobia it was
completed, meaning the recitation was finished the Prophet sallallahu wasallam ended the recitation,
well Lo, they turned away, meaning the jinn they went away in a coma him to their people, meaning to
		

			the other jinn. But how onesie Dean as Warner's meaning they took the message they heard in the
Quran, from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they took it to their people in order to warn
them felon Michael do well lo Isla go meet him. Moon zerene Now when is it that this incident
happened? Remember that towards
		

			The end of the Meccan era when the Prophet sallallahu sallam was in Mecca, and remember sola cough
is one of the late Mac consumers. So towards the end of the Meccan era, remember there was a boycott
of the bundle Hashem, and basically the bundle Hashem they retreated. It was a self imposed exile
out of Makkah. And it was something that went on for quite some time, and towards the end of it was
the year of sorrow. Right? And what happened in the year of sorrow who passed away Khadija below and
have passed away, as well as a booklet and a will Barley was, you could say, The Guardian of the
Prophet salallahu Salam in Makkah, nobody could harm the Prophet sallallahu Sallam because of Abu
		

			Talib. I will try to pass away. Now what happened? The Prophet salallahu Salam basically had no
protection in the city of Makkah.
		

			And we learned from different narrations that Abu Lahab at this time, because he was also an uncle
of the Prophet sallallahu sallam. He had this realization that after all, he's my nephew of Allah
has gone I should protect him, and I will have he offered his protection but Abuja Hall came and hit
a gulag, that what are you doing? And so I will have he renounced his protection for the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So then what happened? He knew that he couldn't stay in Makkah anymore.
He needed someone's protection in order to stay in Makkah in order to carry on his work. So the
closest place was the city of thought, if and remember the city of thought it was a major city.
		

			Remember the machine said that Why did Allah not send the Quran down on a man from the two cities?
Right? So the two cities were which ones Makkah and five, so when Maka didn't work, the prophets
Allah was on a one to five. And we all know what happened in thought if the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam had to come back and remember what state he was in. He was sad. He had been rejected. He had
been basically chased out of the city of five, he was wounded, he was injured, and on the way to
Makkah, when it was nighttime, the prophets of Allah hernial Salam prayed salah, which Salah was
this, either this was Orisha or the hedgehog or it was Fajr. Right? There's different notions we
		

			learn about. But the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is praying salah, and in that
he is reciting the Quran, how loud enough that passers by can hear, what does that show us the
Prophet salallahu salam to comfort in what? In what? In salah? And in the recitation of the Quran,
this is what he took comfort in. Because if it was a shot off budget, right, then remember the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam could have recited any short Surah even right, because after all, he was
traveling, he was injured. He was feeling very, very sad. He could have just rushed through prayer.
But the fact that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam recited so much Quran that passers by, noticed it
		

			and the stopped and they listened. And they told each other to be silent. And they've got the
message from that recitation. What does that show that that recitation was long.
		

			So this is something that happened on the return from a thought if, and we see that these Jin, they
were passing by, and they heard the recitation of the Quran. When they heard it, they came and they
listened. Alright, the Prophet salallahu Salam had no idea. He had no idea that a group of jinn were
listening to him. So who informed him Allah informed him, these verses were revealed? And we see
that the jinn it's amazing how one recitation and they knew that this is worthy of paying attention
to which is why they reminded each other to be silent and listen attentively, because it's not the
basic etiquettes isn't it? That when something important is being said, listen,
		

			when the Quran is being recited, listen, anything, you know, that affects our heart, we pay
attention to it. So the jinn paid attention to the recitation of the Quran.
		

			Here, you know, the symbolism is very obvious. You know, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he had just
been rejected by the people of Makkah and thought if, right, people whom we could see were denying
him, Allah sends his way, people whom he cannot see, but they believed in him, and who were they? It
was the gin? Isn't this amazing? Human beings, whom the Prophet sallallahu sallam was talking to
inviting them, what is their response denial and the jinn, the prophets of Allah Islam didn't do
Dawa to them. He didn't say, any Jinn passing by please stop. I will do Dawa to you know, he's
reciting Quran on his own. Allah sent them. What does this teach us? What's the lesson in this
		

			Exactly, we don't know, who will be guided. Our job is to do our best. That's it. The results are in
whose hands, Allah's pounds are in his hands. And, you know, what's amazing is every time I think
about this incident, you know, it makes me think that the prophets on the last Adams trip to Allah,
it was not in vain. Right? Because this is what we feel sometimes we, we make a plan, we go
somewhere, we want to get something that doesn't happen. And we come back and we're like, Oh, what a
fail. No, it wasn't a fail. Any step in the way of Allah is an investment, it will definitely bring
results, results that you will never see, perhaps, that you will never be aware of, perhaps, but
		

			Allah will create them.
		

			I remember once I went to a dowel workshop, and it was titled, How to Make Your Dallas successful.
Then when the teacher got to the actual title, he said, like, how do you measure this the level of
success of your data? He said, there's absolutely like no way that that's not the intent of this,
because he said, How many times have profits come and they conveyed correctly, but no one believed
in them. So he said, your success lies in just conveying
		

			your success lies in just conveying not by the results that you see.
		

			Salaam Alaikum, I just wanted to share an incident that happened yesterday, you know, I'll put that
as a project now, where you can take a run and buy it from the bookstore and give it to somebody. So
Sister, he and I be the two people who work with the jail. So we decided that we will give it to the
gods. She went on Wednesday, and it was locked down and she couldn't go inside. Then I took it from
her on Friday, and it's a 45 minute drive from my house. And I kept thinking, how am I going to give
it to them? What are they going to say? Will they refuse us not easy to go give the Quran to non
Muslim people? And all to the way I was planning how I'm going to do it. Last Friday, when I when
		

			they were asking me lots of questions. You know, the girls are saying like this, is it true about
Ramadan? They shouldn't be around food. They can't pray here, all these kind of questions. So I
decided I'm going to use that same thing and you know, conveyed to them. So I went to this lady and
I said, I brought a little present for you guys. She was so happy. Then she looked into the bag, and
she said, Oh, it's the Quran. I said, Yeah, you know what all the gods are asking me questions about
Ramadan. And I thought, why not they go to the source and find out what it is all about. So that's
why I brought you the Quran. And one of them, the supervisor had told me that you should try to
		

			build relations with the gods. So this is my way of doing it. I could never imagine the joy with
which she accepted it. I was so surprised. I was all ready for her rejection. And I even said, if
you're not allowed to take it, you can give it to me next Friday when I come. But she was so happy.
And one of them inside when I told her about it that I brought this present for you. She said oh,
the grant. That's so nice of you. And then I said but what if you're not allowed to take it? Because
you know, she's very friendly with me. She said, But you know, it's your thought that gowns it's
your intention. You wanted to give it to me. You know, I never expected this, but Subhanallah it
		

			made me so happy that I did take it and handle
		

			it So never underestimate anything that you can do to call someone to.
		

			Another important thing we see in this ayah is that phelim McAleer Wello Illa comi him one zerene
that the jinn they didn't just believe they didn't just accept the message themselves, but they took
it to their people also meaning they took it to the rest of the gin also, they became like many
messengers, you know, it's amazing. Sometimes you talk to somebody, they agree with what you say,
and they're like, cool, that's it. It's finished over there. But these Jin took it to the next step.
They took the message forward. They didn't just keep it to themselves. Rather they took it to others
also called who they said yeah called mana or our people, meaning the gin in NAS Americana, indeed
		

			we have heard keytab and a book. We have heard a book on Zilla it has been revealed mimbar the Musa
after Prophet Musa meaning after the book that was given to Prophet Musa what book was given to
musante salaam, the Torah. So they're saying this is a book that has been revealed after the Torah.
But wasn't there another book in between? Which one is that? Indeed. So it is said that perhaps
these Jin were Jewish. They believed or
		

			only in the Torah, it's possible, Allahu Akbar them. Another reason could also be that the Torah is
basically what contains laws. And the Injeel is more like a a reminder or an admonition advice. All
right, but the actual law is in the Torah. So they said Jaco mana Inasa Marinette Nikita urban owns
Elam embody Musa Musa de Colima venia de he one that confirms what was before it, meaning it
confirms the previous scriptures. Yeah, the IL Huck it guides to the truth what eel but you can
muster game and to a bath that is traped how many sessions did they attend? How much Quran did they
learn?
		

			One that's it, one session they attended. And that was also just listening to the Quran, the
prophets of Allah Asana was not doing the seed of the Quran for them. Right? He wasn't explaining
the Quran, he was just reciting it to them. That's it. And then we see that this was only one
encounter. But it was enough to convince them that this is the truth. They not only accepted it,
they understood it and they took it to others also. Yeah, the ill happy what a lottery you came was
the team. It guides to the truth and to a straight bath. Jaco mana. They said oh our people Ijebu
respond from the word Jabba Jean Woba fell yesterday Bulli jova to respond. So they said all our
		

			people respond to that are you Allah He the color of Allah, who is the color of Allah, the One who's
calling to Allah, it is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam respond to him what I mean will be
he and believe in Him. What will happen? yellowfin lecan minzu Beckham, he will forgive you for your
sins, who will Allah will, that you believe in His messenger? You respond to his call, you believe
in him, Allah will pardon you your sins while you did come and he will protect you mean either been
Aleem from a painful punishment you did come, Gene well raw gene well raw to jar from the same root
is used for a neighbor and a neighbor is meant to protect his neighbor. Right? So you did come he
		

			will protect you from a painful punishment. Which means that if you don't believe that there will be
consequences, look at their message. It's so complete woman and whoever lay you JP does not respond
to diary Allah He to the color of Allah, meaning the person who ignores the call of the messenger
does not answer him. Then Felisa then not be more Jason at all. One Two cause failure. Phil early in
the earth meeting he cannot cause failure to Allah. He cannot harm Allah's plan. He cannot escape
Allah's grip. He cannot defeat the religion of Allah Falaise or be more doesn't fill out he cannot
win. Well, a Salah who and he will not have been dunya he besides Him meaning besides Allah Alia any
		

			protectors, meaning no one can protect him from Allah from Allah as punishment, Hola, ecoffee Ebola
movie, though those are in clear error, who are in clear error, those who do not respond to the call
of the messenger, all right, then they are in clear error. Now, these verses they were revealed, for
what purpose to basically reassure and comfort the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that yes,
there is a large group of people who was rejecting you. But there is also another group of people
who is accepting the message. Now what happens is that in general, when we do face a lot of you
know, rejection or opposition from people, then we begin to doubt ourselves, we wonder if it's even
		

			worth it. Right? But what do we see from this example, that even if there is a group of people less
than 10, even if it's one individual, whom you can benefit, then it is worth it? Remember a little
Dillo one who was told that if Allah guides even one person through you, then that is better for you
then such and such fancy camels. Right? So again, the prophets of Allah said I'm as being comforted
over here that do not feel sad, your efforts are not going to be wasted. And remember, this was
before the Hijra to Medina alright. And it kind of shows us that how, you know people of Medina also
they didn't know about the Prophet salallahu Salam and how you know admin of the Prophet sallallahu
		

			Sallam encountered them and he spoke to them and how they accepted the message. So, again, the
message is clear, that do whatever that is within your capacity and leave the results to Allah
subhanaw taala and
		

			And even if it's, you know, a little change that you can create, it is worth it. Even if it's a
little bit that you can do, it is definitely worth it.
		

			Now we see in this era that this was the first batch of gin converts to Islam. All right, this was
the first group of gin, who converted to Islam. We learn about some other reports also in the Syrah
that how at one occasion the jinn came to the Prophet salallahu Salam in Makkah. All right, they
came to him in Makkah, and evilness Rudra de la noir, and who reported this, that he said that one
night we were with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. And then the Prophet sallallahu sunnah
went away, and we couldn't find him. We looked for him everywhere, and we could not find him. And we
thought that either he had been kidnapped, or he had been killed. And it was one of the worst nights
		

			that we had spent, you can imagine the state of the companions. And he said that we spent the night
you know, fearing and what happened. Towards the end of the night, we saw as the morning broke the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam approaching us from the direction of Hera where the cave was, he was
approaching us from that direction. And we asked him that yellow sort of low, where were you? And he
said, that one of the colors of the gin came to me, telling me that there was a congregation waiting
for me. So I went to recite the Quran to them. So you see, one low inner comi him would be when they
went, they did their work, right? They did Dawa. They called a whole lot of gentle Islam. And then
		

			they got them ready. And they came to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and they said, We have a group
right here. Could you please come and teach us some more. And so the Prophet sallallahu Sana went to
them. And he recited the Quran to them,
		

			how it started with just a few individuals and how the message, it's spread. It's amazing how the
message spread. And then we see more Naresh is also about how the Prophet salallahu Salam went
multiple times in order to recite the Quran to them and also to teach them their rulings meaning
rulings pertaining to Jinn life All right, so for example, what they can eat, what they can use et
cetera right so the Prophet sallallahu Sallam taught them also let's listen to the recitation of
these verses
		

			what he sold off
		

			you know you can I
		

			mean Jenius them your own
		

			Hello call Oh,

			so we see that the people of Makkah we're not allowing the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to do Dawa.
Right. People are five also did not welcome him. So this was all an effort to stop the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to stop the word from spreading to stop his message from spreading. But
could they stop it? Were they successful in that? No, they weren't. Because where they did not allow
some people to benefit from the prophets. Allah is Allah. Allah sent the jinn. Right? They were
controlling the streets of Makkah and the streets of five. But Allah sent to Makkah sent to the
Prophet salallahu Salam people of Medina. So what does it do?
		

			Teach us that no matter what people are doing, to stop the deen of Allah, the deen of Allah cannot
be stopped. The truth cannot be stopped. You know how often it happens that the truth is covered up.
People try to hide it pretend like it doesn't exist. But Allah subhanaw taala brings it to light he
brings it to surface. And that is exactly how the Quran is that no matter how much people ridicule
it, and put it down and portrayed as a book of violence or a book of such and such and whatever they
come up with, can they suppress the truth? No, they cannot
