Taleem al Quran 2012 – P29 294E Tafsir Al-Muddaththir 43-56

Slowly come out of university, I just have a prayer mat and I pray like in the stairwells or in the corridors, and I feel so good, you know, because it's kind of like you're inspiring others to, and people just walk by, and they give you a look or something, but they really respect it. And, you know, when I asked someone if I could pray here, she's like, Yeah, go ahead, you have the right, you have to free right, you know, to pay, it's your thing. And also, in my first year, a professor of mine, I had classes on Friday. So I asked him, you know, I have to go for Joomla. And he said, he was very knowledgeable. And he's like, Yeah, you guys pray five times a day. And yeah, of course,

you can like change your class. And he was so accommodating, and they respected a lot. So I'll handle a lot. It's amazing. We have such people in our community. See, good deeds are such that one good deed strengthens you to perform another good deed.

And sins are such that one sin will strengthen you to perform another sin. Really, one good leads to another good and one sin leads to another sin. So if you become particular about your prayers at home, your knifes will not allow you to leave prayer when you're outside. It just won't be okay. Like the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told even our boss for the law, warn him that be mindful of Allah and Allah Who will protect you. Right? So you will be mindful of Allah, where you have control. And in situations where you don't have much control and freedom that Allah will protect you, he will facilitate for you. But you have to do your part. Salaam Alaikum when we were

traveling, and we drove to British Columbia, and many times, we check the shadow, you know, where the shadow was falling. And this is how we figure out where the east west and north is. And this is how we prayed. So this is a very important thing that we should learn about because shadows I mean, basically, they tell you about direction in general.

Okay. So I'm gonna come, I've said this before I'm repeating it that prayer in public is the best form of the hour. Every time we go to the States, my son insists that we pray in the parking lot, no matter it may be cold, but it's a No mom, you know, this is the best place and they look at you sometimes we've even had people shout at us school back home or something like that. But when they were shouting, it made more people look at us, because they wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

I mean, you know, yourself, if you feel afraid, if you feel like you're vulnerable, there are too many people who could harm you. You don't have to necessarily go out and pray in front of everybody, go find a corner, go find a room somewhere and pray over there. You know, sometimes park your car in a certain way that you can pray behind it, you know, figure something out.

I remember one day I was working in the the venue that they chose the place was was for a church, and I was working from nine to nine. So it was 12 hours. And I was so scared. I'm like, how am I going to tell these church people that I need to pray? Or are they gonna get mad at me or they're gonna feel disrespected? But when I went up to her, and I said, Excuse me, I need a place to pray. Is that okay? She said, Of course, this is a place of worship. So go ahead and worship wherever you want to pray. And I felt like exactly what you said, I felt like when I made that Emir that I need to pray, like a lot protected me and she was so nice to me. And so a good example. And now there

will be times when you will ask people and they'll say, No, they won't let you. They won't allow you. Right. I think I shared that experience with you also, that once I was at a government building, and I had to pray, it was winter, lower time, I had to pray also was coming in. And I knew that by the time I'd get home, it would be matter of time. So I had to pray. And I asked if I could pray somewhere and there were so many rooms, lunch room, whatever the labeled clear windows, and I could see those rooms are not being used. I asked. They said no, no. I mean, when somebody said no to you, do you argue with them? You can't. So I had to go out and pray in the parking lot in the

cold. It was windy, but I had to pray it. I didn't. And I came back inside and finished my work and Rhonda went back home. So yes, there will be times when there is ease. And there will be times when there is difficulty. But when you have to pray, you pray in ease and in difficulty.

As a female, I feel like when we're paying when we're bending down and we're doing in public, it doesn't look nice. It didn't look like it looks a bit like you know what I mean? Okay, so are we allowed to play in a car when we know that? No, if you can stand and pray you have to stand and pray. What's right what is gonna stick out? Oh no. Then you make arrangements that what kind of clothes are you wearing? Are you wearing something that will cover you properly? That is something that we need to fix. I mean, why are we going out with a short shirt anyway? Why

We should be wearing something that's long enough that covers our thighs well, and if you feel that even your bio or your dress or skirt, whatever you're wearing is too tight again, on top of that, wear something that will cover you nicely. Right. And again, when you're praying outside, it doesn't have to be in a very exposed area, you could find a corner somewhere, look around, you'll find a place you will. And when you don't ask Allah, like, seriously, you will want to worship Allah, and you're finding it difficult to find an appropriate spot, ask Him to guide you. Really ask Him. And He will show you the way. Go ahead. A sister mentioned earlier about praying in public so that other

people can also be encouraged. This is so true. It has happened to me so many times once I was volunteering, and it was my rough time as like kind of nervous to pray. And then this lady was praying in the middle on side and then as like, oh, I should pray to it. So I prayed. And then my friends prayed with me. So it was just because of that one lady, all three of us prayed on Hamdulillah.

Going back to what you said earlier, you know sometimes you're outside with your kids in a stroller, maybe Park the stroller in such a way that you know, it's going to shelter you, you know, do something be creative figure, you know, again, decide that you want to print, that's it. So last year, our school they made arrangements, like the book tour room for everyday repairs. But this year, when we asked them, they were like we don't have anything and said sorry. And then we had a call go talk to my library. And now they booked a separate room first, before we used to just meet and then within a week now we're so intake girls, and we pray every day and Hamdulillah. You know, I

remember when I first came to Canada, I went to the University for an Islamic program. And when I went and saw the prayer room, I was like, mashallah, I mean, I had just come from Pakistan. And in Pakistan, you don't have prayer rooms in schools, you don't, I've never seen a prayer room. And here I am in a Western country. And there is a prayer room with a window area so that you don't have to lift up your foot in a sink, you can actually wash it easily. Seriously, I mean, people who worked for it so that it's built in the school in the campus, what a huge blessing it is. But if they chickened out, then would we be able to pray? No. So when you're confident and you make away, you

don't just help yourself, you have so many other people. So this one time, I came home from school, and then I realized I didn't have my home keys. So I called my sister and I was like, Well, can I get them home? And then she said, yeah, you can. And so I rubbed my hands on like a stone in front of our house. And I prayed to her on the driveway. And then I tried hacking the house with my student card. Yes, sometimes that also happens that you're stuck, you know that the time of prayer is gonna end very soon. And you don't have any option. There is no Tim Hortons nearby or no place where you could go to will do. So what do you do in that situation?

A Salam Alikum. I have a friend. And she has a single mom. And she was working a long time and company. Then after that they have new management. And then they say you can't bring every time she got to watch one. She makes sure that she has to show she sneak out and then she prey on them. They follow her stuff. So she doesn't want to stop the job. Right? She need the money. So what happened? She got a night dream that say, don't go to work. She said when I would say no, I gotta say that's what your assaults he tell you. You have to go work and then feed the children. So she got to work. And the next night she got another three. She's the same someone like talk to you don't go to work.

And she ignores you gotta work. Technology, something she got another dream. So next month, she wants to work while she is going to work. She fell and she broke her leg. After that. She'd come home and then say Oh, does worry, maybe I shouldn't go to work. After she get held. And then after that she opened in her house. Like after three, four months. She healed and then she say Well, I'm gonna get the job what I do anyway, she opened her house, a business actually get money. She make money more than she was making the company. See, and Allah Subhana Allah she's always want people she always tell them, like how she was like, attached to them and she cried and she try herself how

to like kill her Ariel job. See, the thing is when you leave prayer, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said you are no longer in Allah's protection. So you are leaving your prayer out of fear of people so that people won't harm you. But you have just exposed yourself to people so that they can harm you. So pray and protect yourself. Remember the Hadith if the people were

To gather together to harm you, they will not be able to harm you with anything except that which Allah has already written for you. The thing is we haven't internalized the Zhan, you know, the meaning of the Zan, Allahu Akbar, do we really believe that there is no God but Allah that the prophesize ohm is the last messenger, that the prayer is success, you know? Yes. So the people in hell will say that Lemna communal mousseline, we were not of those who prayed while I'm Nico and we did not use to note the removal miskeen we did not feed the poor, the needy. Now generally what happens when a person has, you know, eaten too much, or they're just fulfilling their desires, then

praying Salah is also difficult. Here we see a person who does not pray. And a person who does not care of the needy, selfish, right, doesn't care about God, and doesn't care about the creation doesn't care about the needy. Now, food is the most basic need, isn't it? It's more important than shelter. It's more important than education even I mean, if a person is hungry, they're gonna die. If they're not eating, they're gonna die. So the number one thing that people need to survive is what? Food so miskeen is a person who's needy, meaning he needs food. So la Nakota remould miskeen, we did not use to feed the needy, they were hungry, we had the food we could give them, but we did

not. What does this show us, that people will end up in hell, because of such crimes also, because of neglecting the rights of humanity. Now, what happens generally, is that when we become particular about our prayers, we think we have no obligation towards people, towards humanity. And on the other hand, there's another extreme, where people, you know, start doing charitable work. And, you know, they're concerned about the welfare of humanity, than what do they neglect prayer. So both are needed prayer, and taking care of humanity will come then the Hulu, and we used to indulge my Aloha Ileen. With those who indulged in the Hulu Ha, Ileen. Ha, well, God, what does hold me to enter into

water, alright, and then just stay there just get lost in it. And it's used for a conversation or a matter or an activity that a person indulges in and he just gets lost in it, he forgets about everything else. So we indulged in conversations, in discourse, in debates, in activities with those who indulged

in gross themselves. And basically, we lost track of time, we didn't realize the law was delayed. We didn't realize that, you know, in having fun into spending on ourselves and enjoying our money. We didn't realize that there were so many people who are needy, whom we could take care of, really what prevents people from prayer, it's hold. We're too busy having fun, and what prevents people from spending on the needy hold. We're too busy having fun. If I give my money, what will I use? How will I have fun? Welcome Nana hold Omar Al ha Ilene in vain discussions, useless activities, wasting our lives. And this is something that we also need to pay attention to. I mean, hold this is so easy,

how quickly you can find yourself so emotional about something that's going on in another country, and you're debating about it, you're discussing it, and you're discussing the pros and cons and whatnot. And you realize you just spent two hours discussing something that your discussion is not going to change. Your knowledge of it is not going to change anything, isn't it? Just because you know about what happened, who said what, and what they're doing now and what they might do? Is that going to change anything? I mean, who are you? Welcome, Nana, hold on my aha, Elaine, please be careful about where your time goes. Be careful about what you're discussing and how much time you're

giving to these discussions and what you're doing and how much time you're giving to those activities.

I mean, there are people who watch for seven hours nonstop eight hours nonstop living in a different country, by the way. Right? And then you know, if you slept that night on time and woke up or Fajr on time, and I'm sure somebody or the other told you, I'm sure you found your phone exploding, right. So really save your time. We were not created to just talk. We were not created to discuss we were not created to argue. We were created for a greater purpose. Focus on that. I just wanted to say that social

Social media takes up a lot of our time these days, all of them like Twitter, to Facebook to Instagram to what's that Snapchat? Holiday? And you see it's mile ha Ilene with those who indulge because you can't do this alone, right? Malhar Aileen welcome Nanoka they will be Omid dean. And we used to deny the Day of Recompense had eternally a pain until they came to us Alia clean, the certainty what is Alia, pain deaths, because that's the most certain fact of your life, that you will die had the eternally attain. Allah says fomat and Pharaoh whom, so it will not benefit them, what will not benefit them, Chef out the chef, you're in the intercession of those who intercede,

even the intercession of the prophets and the angels and the righteous is not going to benefit them. Why? Because no one can help you if you have not helped yourself

from Allah home. So what is wrong with these people right now? That when they're reminded when they're warned, look at their response. I looked at karate, from the reminder, they are more of the lien, turning away, the ones who turn away.

Right now, as they reminded as the Quran is recited before them, they just turn away, get under home, as if they were alone run donkeys that are mussten FIRA that are alarmed. The way they run away from the Quran. is like how donkeys alarmed, frightened, donkeys. Runaway

plural of the word came out what is female donkey? And a donkey symbolizes what?

What does it symbolize intelligence, the exact opposite of that foolishness that they're acting like donkeys. Why don't they use the reason? At least listen to what is being said. At least find out what the Quran says. But look at these people without even listening as soon as they see the messenger as soon as they hear the Quran. As soon as they hear mention of religion. They just run away like a Muslim FIRA Musa and Farah noon Farah. Now Father to set out for battle. It's also used for running stampeding, as if they are donkeys running away while they're running away for lots, fleeing min or suara, from the hunter for rats, Ferrara, to run out of fear in order to save

oneself. So they're like donkeys that are running away from WHO? From a sweater. A sweater is used for Hunter, but the word also applies to a lion. So just imagine no. Zebras are described as wild donkeys. All right, because they're very similar. So just imagine now a herd of zebras, and what happens all of a sudden, a lion comes Do you see those zebras running? Will they run? How will they run? How will they run? Without looking at where they're going? Remember that movie Lion King? What happened with that poor little cub? What happened to his dad? He died? Why?

Why? Stampede? Right? For rut men qaswarah. This is how they run as if this Quran is going to harm them. This is how averse they are to this warning. So by this description their foolishness is being described that how ridiculously these people behave it's the Quran after all. Why don't they listen? What's the alarm? Bell Yuri do rather He wants who couldn't normally Inman home every person from them He wants that I knew that that he should be given Sir Who fun scriptures that are Munna Shara that are spread about Soho floral of Sahifa and Mona Shara known Shinra meaning one that is spread open. Each and every person amongst them is so arrogant that he wants that a letter is scripture, a

book should be sent only to him. You see the machine they said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that if you want us to believe, then you know what, there should be a scripture, written scripture that should come down from the heaven to us, telling us that we should believe in you. You know, I find this so amazing. Because only 17 People in Makkah could actually read and write. And here these people are saying that a letter A written letter should be sent to us well, even if a written letter comes will they be able to read it? But look at their

lied. Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran in Surah Al Anam Iowan 24 that a cannula nope Mina heptane no damn myth Lama oto Sula, we shall never believe until what was given to the messengers is also given to us. The way that comes to him should also come to us. In total an arm is seven, Allah says well Oh Nestle, now I like a key turbine feature fasten Fela masu will be a V him Lacan AlLadhina cafardo in her Illa Sahara Mubin, that if a written scripture was sent to them, and these people they actually touched it because all they could do was basically touch it right they couldn't read it. Still they would say this is magic, they wouldn't believe in it. Allah says Kola below your

hormonal hero. The real problem is that these people don't fear the hereafter. Because if they feared the matter of the Hereafter, they would never make such demands and they wouldn't run away in this foolish manner. can let him know that Kira no indeed it is a reminder. What is a reminder, this Quran is a reminder for who from insha Allah Cara, so whoever wills then he can remember it. A reminder has been sent. Now it is up to you. Do you want to take or do you want to remember Do you want to benefit from it? Well, in order to benefit from it, first you listen and not run away. When my youth Karuna Allah says and they will not remember they will not benefit from this reminder, in a

year sha Allah except that ALLAH wills, if Allah wills, if he gives the ability, only then they will be able to benefit from this reminder. And really, this is true. No person can receive guidance, until and unless Allah subhanaw taala he allows them.

Now this doesn't mean that Allah forces misguidance on people. No, he doesn't. He has given people the will to make their decisions, but nobody can execute their will without Allah's permission. So what this means is that if a person has accepted guidance, this is Allah's blessing on him. Will may have Karuna Illa Ania sha Allah who will look Taqwa lol Mo Farah, he is a who is one who is worthy of something. Okay, one of the meanings of the word. It's also used for family. But it's also used for one who is worthy of something because you see, who is it that's most worthy of your good treatment and your money. Who and your time. It's your family. Right? They're closest to you. So I

look Taqwa he is the one worthy of fear. Meaning he deserves that we fear him. Do we fear things? Do we fear people?

Yeah, there are so many things that we are cautious of food ingredients. Right? Certain toxins, different things we're very cautious of. We protect ourselves from those things.

And look at how careful we become

out of all the things you fear and all the things you're careful about. And you remember, and because of that you read, and you research and you check, and you investigate and then you do something out of all the things that you fear out of all the matters that you are conscious of who deserves that you fear Him and you're conscious of him. Allah subhanaw taala

says seriously when it comes to food, have you ever Googled about a food product? Yeah, if it's halal or not. And even if it's not halal, maybe something else about that food product. Right? Why? Because we're concerned about our health.

But how many times have we researched a matter out of fear of Allah?

We were discussing about prayer. All right. So how many times have we researched before going to a place if there is a place to pray over there. And when we can pray,

where we will do will do? Seriously.

Salah is one of the last things that comes to our mind. Who are a hello Taqwa. We're alone, Mark Farah, and he is the one who is worthy of Mahavira as an as giving mouthfeel so when you've done something wrong, who deserves that you go to him with your guilt. And with your remorse. It is Allah because we're my yo Feroz de Nova Illa Allah Now one can only Allah forgives. So what does this mean? That if he deserves that you fear Him and He is the only one who can forgive you. Then there is no refuge from him except with him. So go to him and remember him and fear him.

Okay, let's listen to the recitation of these verses.
