Taleem al Quran 2012 – P29 291B Tafsir Nuh 1-6

Surah knew.

So that no is a Maki surah. And as a parent from the name of the Surah, it is about the story of Prophet, no Alehissalaam, the first messenger and the entire Sula is actually about the story off, nor are they husana. There are many sorrows of the Quran that are named after the names of the prophets, right? Like, for example, sort of Ibrahim, right, who the use of correct but we see that while the stories of those particular prophets are mentioned in those sources, there's also other things that are mentioned in those sources, but to not know from the beginning to the end is entirely the story of Prophet Nuh Alayhis Salam and the reason is that really the story of profit no

honey Salam is an amazing story. It is a story of patients of steadfastness of sincerity, of hope. It is the story of a diary of someone who is calling people to Allah. We learned in the previous sutra, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was instructed first spear sovereign Jamila be patient with a patient's That is beautiful. And we discussed over there that beautiful patients is that which can be observed which can be seen because Jamal is apparent beauty, outward beauty external beauty. So sovereign Jamil is is patience that is manifested and we will see in the story of Noah Harless salaam, what sovereign Jamila is what it means to observe beautiful patients. Now we

learned that there were 10 generations between Prophet Adam and Noah Alayhis Salam, about 1000 years. And we learned that of course, Adam artisan and being the first human being, he had been through his test. Through that experience where he came to know who his enemy was, he experienced firsthand what the goal of shaytaan was, and how he was sent to the world. At the miRNAs center being the first human being he was upon to hate he was upon the truth, and his children also subsequently were upon the truth. Of course, being human, they made mistakes, but generally the appeal of the belief was sound. But what happened over the years is that shaitan he led people

astray. And what he brought in them was schicke, idolatry, worshipping other than Allah. So no, Holly Suriname was the first messenger to be sent, meaning first man sent with a message to warn people against Sheikh and to invite them to the heat to the worship of Allah alone. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said that Adam was a prophet who was spoken to directly by Allah, and there were between him and no 10 centuries, how much time was there between Adam and Noah 10 centuries. So for the first 10 centuries, mankind was upon the truth, which is pretty amazing if you think about it, but then around the time of new Khalifa, in fact, it was the reason why he was sent.

It was that shake became rooted within people. We see that in a long Hadith, the hadith of intercession that told us about the events of the day of judgment, we learned that people will come to New hallelujah Salaam and they will say, ya know who under a world of whistle, or No, you were the first of the messengers sent to the people on earth. So he was the first person entrusted with the Amana with the responsibility to invite people to the heats to warn them against chick and no Holly Sanam is mentioned in the Quran in many different places. And one of the qualities of new highlights and and that Allah mentions is that in the WHO CAN Abdun shakoora that indeed, he was a

grateful servant. Everybody knows the story of new Hallasan I'm this morning I invited my son come to the class with me, he said, but I already know the story of Noah Hawley Sinha. So anyway, everybody knows the story of Noah Hawley salaam, right. What is his story?

He warned people for how many years 950 years and in that time, very few people believed in Him.

It is said that over the span of 950 years, only about 80 people believed in him at as Allah says in the Quran, wama Amana ma who Illa Khalil

None believed in him except very few. In total uncovered I have 14 Allah says Welaka Oksana new Han Isla comi. We sent new to his people for la vida fee him Alpha Santa here stayed in them for 1000 years in LA home cinema except a 50. So 1000 minus 50, meaning 950.

So 950 years he is conveying and at the end how many people believe in him?

Only how many 80 But Allah describes him as a grateful servant, not a bitter servant, not someone who was bitter and angry inside, but someone who remained grateful to Allah. This is Sabra. We sort of know and sort of gin, the next Surah both have the theme of Dawa of calling people to Allah. And in order to invite people to the worship of Allah, this quality of suburb is essential. And through the story, we will see that suburb or patients is not just suffering. suburb is that despite your suffering, despite your failure or with your losses, you remain steadfast

with the hardship you remain firm, you do not give up in the face of denial and mockery. You remain courageous.

It is that despite the fact that you're trying so hard, and you're seeing such little such few results, you remain hopeful.

So sober is steadfastness. It is courage, it is hope it is gratitude in the who cannot be done. shockula So what is the story of new Alayhis Salam Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim in our sunnah no han Isla comi He, Allah subhanaw taala says in that indeed we are will sell now we sent no one prophet, no alayhis salam to who Illa call me he to his people. We sent him to his nation. Notice how it hasn't been said we sent him to the world's Allah, Allah mean rather to his people. Because remember that Allah Allah mean can also include the jinn. Right? It can also include other creation, but call me he his people, his nation means the people that he lived with. And that was perhaps the only

human community or human population that existed at that time, it is possible Allahu Arlon, but no holy salaam was sent to his nation. And that under Omaka, that you warn your people, warn them Min cobbly from before and yet to home that it should come to them before what comes to them, or they're born Aleem a painful punishment. We sent Nora to his people saying that warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them

painful punishment for what? For what they were doing. And what is it that they were doing. They were worshipping idols. They were worshipping beings that they had made themselves things that they had crafted with their own hands, stories that they had invented about those idols and then they worship them. They depended upon them they sought their help in a time of need. So warn them against this because they're heading towards their own destruction. So what happened Allah He said yeah call me oh my people in the locker room indeed I am to you know the Romo been a clear warner he sought to them all my people I am a manifest clear warner to you more being who is more been what is more been

one that is open and clear manifest meaning nothing about it is hidden. So I am openly clearly warning you without hiding the truth from you. Even if you do not like to hear the truth, because sometimes it happens that you want to tell people about something but you know, they're not gonna like it. So what do you do? You pick and choose you leave out certain things that you know they will be offended with. So now the little mobian I am clearly openly warning you I'm not hiding anything from you. What do we see here? No, hey, listen, I'm when he addresses his people. He says yeah, call me. Oh my people. And this is something we see mentioned repeatedly in the Quran, that when the

prophets addressed their nations, they didn't say oh, you sinners. They didn't humiliate them or embarrass them in the way that they address them. Rather, they develop

A link with them. Why, in order to take them in confidence in order to show that they were one of them. So normally Saddam did not come to his people as an outsider, he established a link, he established some common ground with them. Why? So that people would not feel threatened by him and his message, they would welcome him. And they would welcome whatever he would say. And this is something so true. If anytime you feel that somebody does not belong to your group, or your clique, or your kinds of people, what happens? You listen to them, but you're on defense, isn't it? you filter out what they're saying, or you're critically analyzing what they're saying. But when you

feel that there is a person whom you can relate with, they're like you they're similar to you. Then what happens? You trust them, isn't it? So he says, yeah, go meet all my people in the lacuna. liro mobian. I am to you a clear warner. So no, honey SNAM came to warn his people.

warn his people, Nadine. And you seen the previous I also was said, unveil Colemak Warren, your people warning as mentioned again and again. Now warning, as strange as it may sound, or as frightening as it may sound warning can only be given by the one who cares,

isn't it? Who is it that warns you? Someone who cares about you? In the face of some danger? They're not just concerned about running away and helping themselves and escaping the harm? No, they stop. They warn. Why? Because they care about you. They're concerned about you. They're not just concerned about themselves. So the fact that prophets are described as Warner's, what does that show that the prophets really cared about their people? They wanted the best for them. This is a reason why they warned them. So in the local Maduro movie in no hurry Salam came as a warning to his people. What did he warn them against about, about the hereafter about the consequences of their *.

And besides that, we see that he warned them against everything that could harm them. In fact, we learn there's a hadith and Behati, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once he stood in the member, and he said, that I warn you of the jungle.

And there is no prophet except that he warned his people about the jet. And he said, even knew, or the salam warned his people about that the gel.

He cared so much about his nation that he warned them, not just of health, not just of the immediate consequences of their sins, but even

something harmful, something dangerous, that would come way down the road.

What does that show his sincerity? And the fact that he hid nothing of the truth from his people in the lacuna, the rubine, his warning was really clear and open.

And his main message, what was that? A near Badulla that you should worship Allah, what the goo and fear Him what ugly, you're only and obey me.

Worship Allah, meaning in order to save yourself, you must do these three things. What are these three things? Firstly, are Buddha ALLAH, do rabada of Allah worship Allah? Why? Because that is the reason why you're here. fulfill the purpose of your existence. You were made to worship Allah. And if you spend your life pursuing other things and forgetting Allah, you're depriving yourself you're forgetting yourself, you're harming yourself. fulfill the purpose of your existence and worship Allah. Secondly, what the who, who fear him. Duck Wha What does it mean that out of fear of Allah, a person does what Allah has commanded him off and leaves what Allah has forbidden him off.

So Taqwa has two sides to it. What are they, out of fear of Allah? What does the person do? He does what Allah has commanded him.

He carries out the ultimate the commands,

the injunctions, and secondly, he keeps away from what Allah has forbidden him.

So leaving the Noah he keeping away from the prohibitions. Now, remember the story of Adam or SNM

Allah subhanaw taala created Adam and bestowed many favors upon him and he instructed the angels that you should prostrate to Adam. That was Allah's command. And amongst the angels at the time was also who Iblees. Right. And IBLEES was also to prostrate to Adam, that was Allah's command. What did it leads to? Did he follow that command? No, he didn't.

So refusing to obey Allah's command is what this is a sin. And what does that lead to look at what Shavon ended up with. On the other hand, we see that other SNM when he was sent to Paradise, and he and his wife, both were there, and they were told, eat and drink whatever you wish, to your desire. But there's just one thing Latha karamba had he shudder do not go near this tree, do not eat the fruit of this tree. That was a prohibition. Correct. But what happened? Other Moroni Cena forgot he lacked determination. And shaitan basically misled him. Right. So what happened as Mr. Lewis and I made a mistake, what did he do? He did what was forbidden? You understand he did what was forbidden.

So we see that sin is of two types. One is to refuse to obey. And the other is, do what is forbidden.

You understand? Now refusal to obey? What's the reason behind that arrogance?

And doing what is prohibited? What is the reason behind that forgetfulness, lack of determination, you just kind of gave up you know, you didn't have the determination to stop yourself. You didn't have control over yourself, you lost control over yourself. So you ended up doing what was forbidden. Alright, so what is necessary then, fear of Allah, that out of Allah's fear, you do what Allah has commanded you, no matter how difficult it is for you. You swallow your pride, and you do what Allah has commanded you to do. What did IBLEES do? He said, an Ohio Minho, I am better than Adam. I'm not going to prostrate to him because I am better than him. Why did you command me to

prostrate to Adam? Right? He became arrogant over there. So what's the solution to that? Fear Allah swallow your pride, realize that Allah is greater. If he's telling me to do something, I better do it. It's good for me. I may not know but he knows there's some wisdom behind it some reason behind it, which is why he's telling me to do this.

On the other hand, we forget the prohibitions, we become weak. Again, what is necessary that we stay awake and alert and Taqwa is what a state of wakefulness, consciousness alertness. So what the who, who fear Him, meaning do not forget him so you can remain on the right path. Thirdly, what's the third thing that he said to his people? What else three, you're only and obey me, me as in NO Hallasan So obey the messenger, meaning obey the one who has come to you from Allah to save you. don't obey Shavon who has come to destroy you to harm you. obey the messenger. So what are the three goals of a diary? The one who's calling people to Allah, what is he inviting people to? What do we

learn from this if he's inviting people to firstly, the worship of Allah, so teach Riba? Teach people how to worship Allah, what to do, when to do why and how.

Secondly, nurtured Taqwa develop Taqwa.

So they don't depend on you. Rather, they worship Allah wherever they are. Because many times what happens people will do very well, as long as righteous people are around them or their teachers around them or their mom is around them. Because out of the fear of the mother or the fear of the Father, they will pray. All right. But when a person has Taqwa of Allah, then will they pray only when their mom or dad is around? No. They will be consistent in their worship. And thirdly, Allah you're only obey me obey the messenger present the role model, the messenger, who was it, who was example they should emulate, whose life is it, from which they should find guidance. yellowfin lecan

new Hyundai Salam said yellowfin lecan. He will forgive you who will forgive you, Allah who will forgive you, meaning if you worship Him, you fear Him you obey

In the messenger, the result of this will be that Allah will forgive you. He will forgive you what men do know become from your sins. Men over here can be understood as explanatory meaning men have by n. So, you know, like English you right IE, right. So yellowfin lako. minzu become meaning he will forgive you as in your sins, He will forgive you all your sins. If you leave your shake, and you worship Allah, you observe the law, you obey the messenger. The benefit of this is that Allah will forgive you all your sins.

We see that when a person accepts Islam, then what happens? All their previous sins are forgiven. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that Islam Yeah, the MoMA cannot tabula who, that when a person surrenders, he submits to Allah, He accepts Islam, then what does that act do? It destroys whatever was done before it, meaning whatever sins were committed before it, they are finished yet the moon. So yellowfin lecan, minzu become another interpretation of this is that men mean some of He will forgive you some of your sins, not all but some.

Which ones those that you committed against Allah? Yes, he will forgive you for that. But the sins that you've committed against people,

the injustice is that you've committed against them, the harm that you've caused each other, you have to fix that. Remember that at the Treaty of her they BIA you know, the man when he came in, he was discussing things with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And he was touching his beard again and again, remember one of the companions, he got really offended and he stuck his hand and, you know, said keep away from my messenger. Right? And when he asked Who was this, he found out that it was his nephew. All right. And he got upset with his nephew that here you are hitting me and stuff like that, while still today I am paying off blood money because of the murders that you

committed.

I remember that story. And that companion what is his story? He was from LA if right? And he had attacked a caravan or something. This was before Islam, and he had killed a few people taking their money. And he's like, now there is no way I could go back. And you know what, I actually like Islam, he liked Muslims. And he went to Medina, he embraced Islam. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I accept your Islam. But the crimes that you've committed, I don't accept that. Meaning I'm not going to defend you in that. You have to deal with it. The injustice that you've caused other people, you have to make the amends. Alright, so your Fidlock amends and will become He will forgive

you some of your sins, meaning the sins that you've committed against him in relation to Allah. But those that you've committed against each other, you still have to fix those while you are here come, and He will delay you, Isla agilely Musa, until a specified term.

Meaning if you repent from idolatry and worship Allah alone, that Allah will forgive you your sins, and He will allow you to live until the end of your term, the end of your term, as in your lifespan. So each of you will die your individual that's

which means that if you don't accept Islam, if you continue in your wrong ways, then fear God's punishment that can destroy all of you at once, in Agile Allah He and then he warns them that indeed, the Agile the time set by Allah, either JIRA when it comes like a hero, it is not delayed. Meaning how long are you going to live in this world anyway, death is inevitable. And if you continue in your wrong ways, then fear God's punishment, because once it comes, it cannot be deferred. You cannot get even an extra second, low quantum tharla moon if only you knew. So here, no Holly Sam is making clear that if you repent to Allah and mend your relationship with him, then what

will happen? Then Allah will forgive you. And he will allow you to live, he will allow you to enjoy your life. And if that is not the case, then sooner or later you will see the consequences of your crimes against Allah, the sins that you're committing against him. We see that forgiveness of sins is a means of respite in this world further respite in this world, that when a person seeks forgiveness from Allah, that Allah subhanaw taala gives him more time, more time to do what to do more good. So good

deeds they increase lifetime. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that while I use either filler or memory ill bear nothing increases lifespan except bit piety. The more good a person does, the more chances are Allah will give him to live on an increase in His goodness. So no honey is Salam. He conveyed this message. This was mainly his message, invitation to repent, to worship Allah, to seek forgiveness from him. And the result of that would be that Allah will forgive you, and He will give you a good life to enjoy. What do we see in his message? What was his message about? It was a message of warning, combined with hope, isn't it? We see over here, that he makes

the message clear, he tells them to do three things. And then he tells them that if you do this yourself good luck when you are critical. And if you do not, then fear the punishment. So this is a complete package, there is warning, and there is hope. And this is how our message should also be balanced. Balanced. Generally, what happens if we believe in something? If we start defending something, if we start talking about it, then we lean on to that side completely? Isn't it?

What is it that we're taught that be balanced in your criticism? Right? be balanced in your message. So here we see combination of warning and hope. Now remember, that knew her? Listen, I'm conveyed for how many years?

950 years? Have you tried doing something for nine days? And if it's not working, what do you do after two days? Let me rethink. Let me change something here. All right, because we just want results. We just want our work to be accepted. No honey Salam conveyed this message, this message consistently, without changing it for 950 years. He didn't alter it. Just to appeal to the people. He didn't change it just so that they would accept it. This is solid.

That when you believe in something, you remain committed to it.

And you deal with the hardships that come with it. You don't change it just so that it will be accepted by people. So what happened? Caller A B. No. Honey Salam he said, Oh my lord in need thou to call me. Indeed I invited my people

for how long Leyland in night, one a Heron and day I called my people by night and by day. What does this mean? Firstly, before we go into the Leyland went to hell apart. I want you to notice Connor a bee.

He spoke to his Lord. He's giving a report to Allah subhanaw taala while Allah subhanaw taala already knows, doesn't need

so why is no Holy Son I'm telling Allah that Oh Allah, I called my people by night and by day, Allah already knew. Why is he telling him because he's talking to his Lord.

He's talking to his Lord. He's making a complaint over here, that Oh Allah, I have done my best, but these people are not believing. So what we learned from this is that it is important for the dari the one who's calling people to Allah, to talk to who

to talk to who, to Allah.

Whenever you read a story of a prophet in the Quran, whether it's the story of use of barley, sunnah, right or or you Bernie Sinha, Ibrahim or listen, here we see new Harley Sena, even add the money center, every prophet of Allah, are their doors mentioned doors that they made. Yes. And what is your calling out to Allah talking to Allah, while Allah already knew their needs, he already knew the difficulties that they were in. Because when you talk to Allah, what are you doing? You are manifesting your faith in Him. When you talk to Allah, you show that you expect help from him, you trust Him, you are seeking comfort in him. Why do we talk to people by the way, you know, when

something's not working out, let's say, you know, you have to write some essay, and it's just not working out. What do you do? Who's talked to a random person sitting in the bus next to you? Right? You can't come up with any ideas. You complain to them. You know, I came up with this idea, but my group didn't really like it and my da didn't really approve of it. So you know, I'm out of ideas.

random people, right? We talk to them. Why? Because we as human beings need to talk. You know, the stuff that builds up inside needs to come out, it must come out. But the thing is that when you're talking to people, there's always a risk over there. What is that risk? that either they will judge you? And from this day onwards, they will treat you differently. Right? Or that if it's a very private confidential matter, what if they tell everybody about it, isn't it or they might advise you with something that is not really great. I'm not saying don't talk to people, what I'm saying is talk to a lot more, because that is what the prophets did. Especially when you're doing something

for the sake of Allah, and you're having trouble with it, or in it, any kind of difficulty you're facing in it. Seek help from who, from Allah. You know, for example, the essay, if you're having difficulty with it, and you talk to your group, and you talk to your friends, and you talk to your mom and you talk to your grandmother even, but you don't talk to the TA. And at the end, you don't submit it correctly, then can you say that? Oh, well, I did my best. I even took help. I even discussed it with people. You discussed it with many people, but you did not discuss it with the right person, isn't it? So seek help from where the help will come?

Caller A B. He said, Oh, my Lord, in need thou to call me Leila and Juana hora. I called my people by night and by day, what is it mean by this? I call them by night and by day. He called them in the night when the night was over, then he called him in the day. And then when the day was over, you call him in the night. And then when the night was over, then he began again, in the date, what does it mean?

Continuously? Non stop? For how long?

For how many years? 950 years continuously.

In sha Allah, this December, it will be nearly five years. Since we started this course. We started end of January, February, something like that. Right? So about five years. And yes, we came on the weekends. But it seems like, wow, we've been doing this for such a long time. Right? And regardless of how many tests we've done, or what we feel good about the fact that we started it, and now inshallah we're reaching the end five years, we were committed to this. But if you compare this to the 950 years of no harness, I'm doing Dawa.

Not on the weekends, night and day, not five years, 950 years. What have we done?

In need darl to call me Leyland, one,

by night and by day, continuously non stop. Because the thing is that something that matters to you, something that's important to you, then you do it, no matter where you are, what stage of your life you're in, it doesn't matter what's going on, you'll do it, you'll make time for it.

You know, like people who like shopping, they will find a mall, even at Niagara Falls. I mean, there's lots of shops over there. But you know, they'll find one in downtown like a small city, like a no name, city, even they'll find shops over there. Because they like shopping. So when they're out, it doesn't matter whether they're hungry. It doesn't matter whether they're jetlag, it doesn't matter whether there's only a few shops around, they'll find something to buy,

right?

So what you're passionate about, it doesn't matter whether it's night or day, people who like to eat something, it doesn't matter whether it's 3am or 3pm, they'll find it they'll eat it. Yes.

I went to a workshop where the presenter is talking about the difficulty of writing a novel. And she said she put a survey on her Facebook asking, What do you think is the most difficult thing about writing a novel and then most of the people said, not having enough time. So she wrote a list of what people mostly said. And she said the number one response I got was not having enough time. But she said that's not I'm gonna skip that and go to number two, because not having enough time is that's just a difficulty of being human. So she went on to the next one, which was people self doubting themselves. She completely disregarded the fact of not having enough time. Yes, I know,

machine artists and they were saying that, you know, when they would write their machines as they were mowing the lawn, right, they have this idea in their head to stop the lawn more, take out their notebook and write it down.

And then they're sitting there were volunteering somewhere and as they're sitting waiting for somebody, you know, take out the notebook and write their ideas down.

It doesn't matter whether you're in the middle

Have a field mowing the grass or you're waiting at the doctor's office or you're at work when something is important to you. You do it, isn't it? I mean think about your phone. If it's important to you will you use it? Right I mean it's not a question of if it's important to you of course it's important to you. So you will even find a way of using it in class.

Right? You will figure it out. Even while driving. People will text I don't know how. So in niederau to call me Leyland when a Hara we need to see what is it that I am passionate about?

What is it that I will do night and day doesn't matter where I am which place what's going on? I'm sick or I'm healthy. I'm getting married or I'm single or or whatever is going on? What is important to me that will always be a part of my life.

In need Thao to call me Leyland one ahora without taking a break he conveyed night and day without taking a vacation he conveyed night and day.

And this also shows us Leyland one ahora that in the night and in the day at different times. Sometimes we limit our relationship with Islam to certain places or certain times. Right? Or our Ibadah our worship of Allah, our being a good Muslim or our talking about Allah is limited to certain places or certain times. I'll worry about the Quran and the weekend right now five days. I'm busy with other things. I'll worry about salah or about remembering Allah when such and such happens or when I will go here I will read a lot of Quran when I go for Umrah. I will do so much they can want to go for Hajj seriously, I'll pray tahajjud even as if the 100 and recitation of the Quran and

vicar is all limited to Makkah and Medina and that's it.

No, this is something that can be done in our daily lives also in Nidal, to call me Leila and Juana Hara Philomela Z, to whom he said Salam so not yes, it whom it increased them. Dua II, my calling my invitation inlet Ferrara except in flight, meaning the more I call them, the more they ran away from me. The more I invited them, the more they rejected me.

Fellow Musee de windra II Illa Ferrara, Ferrara, Ferrara, to run away to fleet.

So we see that new Hudson and the harder he tried, the more his people fled from him. The more he invited them, the more he called them, the more he advised them, the more they avoided him. But did he stop them? No. When they ran away, he tried even harder.

He tried again, for how long for 950 years.

Just think about it. In one day even a person can be rejected like this many times, but no holy salaam continued for 950 years.
