Taleem al Quran 2012 – P29 296C Tafsir Al-Dahr 7-13

But who are these people? Why would Allah give so much control to His servants in Jannah? Because they are the ones who surrendered to Allah, completely in this world? How you Foner there are those who fulfill you find someone to complete to fulfill something, what do they fulfill binnorie The vow, meaning whatever vows they make, they fulfill them. What is another nother known Valois, is to make something that is not mandatory, mandatory on oneself.

You understand, to make something that is not mandatory, mandatory on oneself, you're not required to do it. But you make it obligatory on yourself.

You make it a rule for yourself.

All right. Like, for example, you know, some people, they have a morning routine, right? That at this time, I have to go for a walk, or at this time, I have to go to the gym in the morning, or I must eat this for breakfast. I mean, are the children whose parents are standing up their heads? You must eat this? No, you must go to the gym, is it? No, but they have made it mandatory on themselves. Right? Now, the thing is that when it comes to going to the gym, or going for your walk, or eating healthy, things like that, you know, you change, isn't it? One day, you just don't feel like going so you don't go? One day, you just feel like eating junk. So that's what you will eat? Right? But

none of that is what you impose on yourself in terms of religious matters. Okay, what do you make obligatory on yourself in terms of religious matters, Religious Affairs? And there's two types of another one is conditional, which is the more common one or that is more famous conditional. What does it mean by that, that a person says,

If I get such and such, then I will do such and such.

If I pass my exam,

right, or if I get this job, my first paycheck is going to go in charity.

Understand, so they are setting a condition for that charity? And what is that condition? I get my job.

You understand?

Can you think of any other another that people typically make?

Exactly. If I get something that I want, I'll pretend Nephal 100 knuffel. All right. Now, who said you have to pay 100? Nephal. Is there any legislation for this in the Quran? or so? No, no, is it felt no. But this is something that the person took upon himself made mandatory on himself on the condition that they get what they want.

Right? Now, this is not something that is liked. Although it is permissible, it's not something that is liked. Why? Because you're setting conditions and promising such things is not going to change fate. If you're meant to get that job, you will get it. If you're meant to have that child, you will have it. If you're meant to have that son, you will have it right. If it's written in your fate, you will get it. But what we learn is that something is taken out of the stingy person, meaning otherwise he's too stingy to give that charity or too stingy to pray, too stingy to do that good deed. Alright, so this kind of Nether even though it's permissible, it's not really liked. There is

another kind of another, which is the praiseworthy one which is liked, which is Unconditional.

Unconditional, meaning that a person promises himself, he makes a promise with himself, that he will do a certain good deed.

Like for example, a person makes a promise with himself that he will recite Quran every single day one page, or that they will pay the 100 every week, once a week minimum, or that they will give 10% of their paycheck for sadaqa. Is it fair? No. But what is this?

What is this? It's a promise it's an obligation that they have taken upon themselves.

Like for instance, some people they set a goal for themselves that this Ramadan, I'm going to recite Quran three times, for instance, or this Ramadan. I'm going to give this one sadaqa is it fault? No, it's not. Why are they doing it?

Why? Because when you make a promise with yourself, when you make something mandatory on yourself, you end up doing it. When you set a goal for yourself, you end up achieving it, isn't it. And if you don't set a goal for yourself, you don't plan then what will happen? One month you will give charity for three months, you won't think about charity at all. One day you will recite Quran and then four weeks you want one day you will pray to her do them for months, you won't. But when you set goals for yourself, and you make a promise that this is something that I must do, I will do I will always do, then what happens? You end up doing it

don't get married?

thing and get something passed that milestone? Oh, yeah, that condition could be anything, I get something or I reach a certain milestone, whatever it is. Okay, but you've set a condition. All right. And remember, it's not regards to something that Allah subhanaw taala has obligated on you. So for example, if a person says when I get married, I'll wear the hijab, this is not another. This is not another because Allah has already obligated you. You understand? Yes?

Yeah, when you set a condition for obedience, it's like you are challenging Allah.

Right? That you do this, I'll do this. Well, Allah doesn't need your brother. He doesn't. He doesn't. And he's the most generous, who will give you without even you asking for it. So you find a bit nerdy. The quality of the people of Ghana is that they fulfill their vows, whether conditional or unconditional. But of course, since the righteous are being mentioned, we would understand this as mainly the unconditional ones. And this is the way of the righteous that they impose on themselves. Good work. They set high standards for themselves. They don't settle with the bare minimum. Okay, I've done my fault. No, they accomplish more. And how do they accomplish more by

setting higher goals for themselves? So you fill up in every way a half fauna and they fear Yeoman a de cana shall woohoo, a day who's evil is Mooster please draw widespread, mostly raw, from the root letters thought Yeah, raw fate. What this lady mean? A bird. And you see a bird when it's flying when its wings are open. Does it look big compared to when its wings are closed? When it's a sitting perched? Is there a difference in the size? Yes. So played is a bird and this word is figuratively used for speed and also for the spreading of something for the spreading of something just like a bird spreads its wings.

So it is said who bow Mooster path hooba dust that is Mustafa that has spread everywhere. Federal Sun matar a horse that runs very fast.

It is that is the total headache, that the fire spread very quickly.

So you understand the meaning of the word muster plead. So most deadly, is what it's evil, the Day of Judgment whose evil will be most deadly. Widespread, covering everything, the sky and the earth. There is no place, no mountain, no river, no star, except that it will be affected by the evil of the Day of Judgment. And what is that evil? It's complete destruction. It's the day when the angels will be terrified. It's the day when stars will fall. It's the day when all people will be brought back to life.

They are afraid of that day. And this is the reason why they prepare for it. You phone up in nursery. What else do they do out of fear of this day where you to remove a bomb you to remove or they feed a bomb of the food meaning they feed people. They give food to others.

I might have been which food do they give to others? Which one the extra leftover? The one that's on sale because it's going to expire in two days. Yeah, the no name brand. Which one

And I let her be He, despite its love, meaning they love to eat that food themselves. Yet, instead of eating it themselves, they give to who? To who? To others to eat. They don't eat it themselves. Instead, they give it to others. You to remove Allah, Allah who be and this is very difficult. Really, it's very difficult. You might think like, yeah, of course, why not.

But something that you want to eat

something that you find delicious, giving that up and giving it to somebody else, you can only do it.

If your desire for Good is greater than your desire to eat, your desire to do good, is stronger than your desire to eat. Your desire for the opera is more than your desire for this dunya.

So long ago, I just started remind everybody that the food banks, the people visiting the food banks is always increasing. And a lot of them are Muslims. And we as Muslims should start to have like, every time we go for grocery, we should say, Okay, this match, I'm going to put in the food bank, like you're coming to school, you bring it we have the bins here, you can put it here, you can drop it off at the food bank, or sometimes help somebody you know who is wanting to donate to the food bank, but they don't know how to do it, like maybe a neighbor or somebody, you know, start an initiative where you tell your neighbors look, I'm going to take food to the food bank on this day

of the month, if you want to drop off something you can bring specially if you're living in a building or something like that. So I would urge all of you to make this mandatory upon yourself that okay, I'm going to take this much money out of my earnings or whatever, and donate to the food bank. You know, it's unfortunate that even when we do that at the grocery stores, when it comes to the food bank, we'll buy cereals that we don't like to eat, we'll buy rice that is cheaper. All right, we'll buy flour or whatever food it is that's cheaper for the food bank. This is what Allah who be something that you love to eat yourself. Now what we do is as long as we can afford to eat

what we like and also buy the same thing for somebody else will give charity but if it means that you know if we have only money with which we can fulfill our desire and not the desire of the other What will we do? We will buy good quality for ourselves and lesser quality for the other. What do we learn here? They buy nothing for themselves and good quality food for others. You'll throw a Mona Donna I let her be because this means you give up what you have.

You don't eat yourself instead you feed the other person while you remain a time Allah who be and who do they give this food to miss Kenan, the needy way a tea man and the orphan. What a Sierra and the captive also miskeen because he's a need

your team an orphan child. Really? If you think about it, children like to eat good stuff, right?

Sweets, different kinds of things. And whoever is it

that brings for their children what their children like to eat. It's the parents. My son loves kiwis, I will get kiwi fruit for him. My daughter loves mango, I will get mango for her. Right. This is what people think what mothers think what parents think. But what about that child? Whose father is no longer there? Who's going to bring him what he likes to eat?

Yeah, tienen

also feeding the orphan. What a see law and the prisoner because a prisoner in the prison. What is he going to get standard food? Right, which is what I mean, I'm sure you all have eaten in airplanes, right? Or maybe in the hospital? What kind of food is that? When hundreds and 1000s of people are being served at the same time? You know what the quality of food goes down? Now imagine a seat a prisoner. What is he eating on a daily basis? Whatever his crime is, we're not defending his crime over here. We're talking about the fact that he is in a prison. He cannot go out and get something that he wants to eat. He doesn't have that freedom, whatever his crime is, but he's still

a human being who has a stomach who has a tongue, who has some desire, a seed feeding the prisoner also. And isn't that what also how

about it. After the Battle of whether, when so many captives came into Medina What did they do? They fed captives bread while they themselves ate something else and bread remember was a big deal

because Arabia is not fertile.

Grain was imported

it was brought in after months of travel and that grain after you know grinding it with hand and then making dough and bread with it. Imagine now

but that bread they're not eating themselves they're giving it to others

will yield to remain a Tama Allahu be miskeen and weigh a team and what a zero. And other be he can also be understood as out of love for Him love for who love for Allah,

giving food to others out of love for Allah. Allah likes this, that I should feed other people.

So doing this only for the sake of Allah.

Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, lengthen Allah will Billa habitat on fecal matter he boon you can never attain Albir righteousness because a broader being mentioned right? So you can never attain righteousness until you spend out of that which you love. Not what you have, but what you love, what you like for yourself.

The prophets of Allah who are alayhi wa sallam said, whoever dies while feeding the needy, for the pleasure of Allah shall enter Jannah

whoever dies while feeding the needy, for whose pleasure for the pleasure of Allah shall enter Jannah in their mouth, and then they say in their hearts, that in murmur indeed only, not their MO calm. We only feed you, we only give you this food, for what reason? Liwa Hila for the face of Allah.

We're giving you the spoon so that one day we can see Allah's face.

We're only giving you this food, so that we can attain Allah's pleasure Landry domain comm we do not want from you, or people to whom we are giving food. We do not one from you just any reward, one I should call nor any gratitude.

We don't expect any desire from you. And we don't expect any shellcode from you What is just a reward, meaning any gratitude that someone would express with their actions.

And shellcode any gratitude that is expressed in words verbally.

But generally, what do we do? If we give something to someone? Don't we expect a return? Isn't it? That at least some action some gesture? All right, any kind of Jezza a word of praise or sugarcoat any word of gratitude, something we expect. And if we don't get that we get disappointed.

But look at the abroad, what is the way of the abroad, they don't want to hear any words of gratitude. They don't want to receive any payment even any kind of reward even for what they have done. Why? Because they're doing it for who for a law.

And really, when a person works like this, that he doesn't desire, any reward or gratitude from people. Only then can he be sincere. And only then can he be a vulnerable person. Because what holds us back from doing good

what holds us back we see an opportunity to feed someone but what hold us back. You know last time I gave so much but didn't even hear back. No word of acknowledgement even.

Isn't it?

Nothing at all. We got no benefit, no tax return nothing.

What do we learn here? Learn to Read domain comm Jezza and wallah Shakira. Then why do they give it in Nana ha formula Bina? Indeed We fear from our Lord, Yeoman a day that is our booths and country raw. We are doing this to save ourselves when on the day, that is our booths, our booths, iron bar scene others are to found and where is this found on the forehead? Our booths is that which makes people frown or are boosts very frowning, scowling.

What is it that makes you found or frowning face

What does it represent? disgust or dislike or difficulty hardship. So our booths as in very difficult and comfort ease distressful, unburied, off meme ba ra pin thought and thought is basically used for a stick that is used to punish.

That is painful. And then it is also used for the stick with which, you know, someone is being punished, but then, you know, their feet are being struck, while their feet being struck, so that they don't bring them together. They keep them apart. So it's used for something that is spread out, something that is very long, and something that is full of distress. So I'm sorry, a day that is long, that is full of sadness and difficulty. This is the Day of Judgment 50,000 years, very difficult. So they say that we are afraid of Our Lord on that day. This is why we are preparing for that day. And how do we prepare by giving food to who? To who? To the miskeen Yeah, team a seed,

despite our love for that food for a while our whom Allah so Allah save them. Allah protected them shanwa gallican yom from the evil of that Day, because those who plan and those who strive ultimately they get somewhere so they aim for success on that day. And what is the lesson for call Allah Who shovel identical yo, Allah save them from the evil of that Day, while a cow home, and he gave them not Broughton wasu Surah radiance and happiness locka locka is to give something to someone basically luckier is to meet so locka is to make someone meet something as in you give it to them, you cast it on them. So Allah call them not Bratton was surah Allah gave them Nebra what is

the joy and pleasure and happiness which is on the face of a person. And so who is the delight and joy which is in the heart of a person? Not Broughton was Surah Nebra in the face, and so true in the heart.

There are times when a person has salute in the heart but no not there on the face. And there are times when a person has fake Nebra on the face but no salute in the heart. Look calm. No Broughton was surah you bring happiness to others and Allah who will fill you with joy. What does our home and they reward be ma Sadhguru because they were patient.

Their reward because of their patients is going to be Jonathan a garden in paradise. What how do you law and silk Jezza for what reward for what for suburb?

What does this mean? That Jana is reward for sober

so a believers life is full off suburb.

Remember that a man has two wings, meaning what increases a person's email. What takes a person forward in his Eman are two wings, just like a bird has two wings, it needs both of them. As it will use them it will go higher, it will go forward.

It will glide.

So email also has two sides to it and what are they sub and sugar,

gratitude and patience. So believer is either in a state of gratitude, for what

gratitude for what

for what he has for the good he was able to do for what he has received from his Lord.

For things that have happened in the past for things that are going on right now sugar, or he is in a state of sober, holding himself back, controlling himself, keeping himself firm and steadfast are bearing hardships with patients. So when a person is in the state subber and sugar, then he's not in a state of grief. He's not in a state of denying Allah's blessings or being upset or rejecting so Jezza home Bhima Saba Rue their reward for their patience is Jana were hurries Jana garden. When you think of a garden, even in this world what comes to your mind, beauty and space freshness freedom. When you think of Hadid silk what comes to your mind comfort. Right? So Jen Nathan

What have you

Janna freedom and Hadith for comfort. But why? For submission? If you look at all the qualities of the abroad that I mentioned over here, look at them, turn your page go back

what are the qualities of the uproar?

First of all the fact that they're abroad doing bear, does doing bear require sub,

does it? Yeah. How many times is it that you see an opportunity to do good but you don't feel like it? Once you kick yourself and make yourself do it. Alright, so this is abroad. Okay, another quality.

You're gonna be Nedry fulfilling your vows, does that require silver, of course, when you make something obligatory on yourself, at the beginning, it's easy. It's fun. But then what happens is things change. Because life is emptied out, there's going to be hardships. So what happens? It gets difficult. So Sabra is needed over there to remain steadfast. How often it happens that people start doing something good. But then after a month or two, or after a couple of years, they give up. They leave, they leave that good deed why? Because they did not have sub Have

you found up in Nedry. This requires suburb?

What else?

What are the quality?

Your three Mona Tom giving food to others, Allah who be when you want to eat it yourself? Does that require solid? Yes.

As you're walking out the grocery store, and you're looking forward to eating your cereal next morning, but then you see the bang for the food bank. What are you going to do there? Are you going to give up something that you like to eat that you just picked? And you're looking forward to eat it? If you give it that requires solver

and then not expecting any reward? Does that require solver? Yes. So what IS LM B mas sobre la rue

the reward for southern is very great. Look at this, the entire life of the Abrar of a believer is summarized in what word southern This is the life of a believer, a life of patients. Because patients has three sides to it. We think of only one form of patients which is that when something terrible happens, you don't cry and you don't feel bad which is not sober.

Sober is when something bad happens. Right? You feel bad, you cry, you feel the pain. You do feel that loss but you don't give up your faith in Allah. You don't think for a moment anything negative about Allah you remain hopeful that okay I got sick there is the hook

Allah will cure there is good, okay, I lost this job, inshallah they will be good, okay, terrible disaster happened, they will still be good. This is

another form of Sabra is to remain firm on doing good on acts of obedience.

Because it's very easy to do good when everybody around you is doing it. But when you are alone, we had a discussion on praying on time earlier. All right, that requires some

the third form of sub is to remain firm in holding oneself back in restraining from doing what is wrong. holding yourself back. You know, like when those curse words may be in your mouth, you just waiting to spit them out or you're holding your tongue back. That is stubborn, you're angry and you do want to you know say those bad words but you hold yourself back that is a form of slavery.

So jazz, r&b, my Sottero now if you think about unbelievers, life is all about subvert really. Because what is that time when you're not, you know, being urged to do something bad really shape on does he leave us in the morning? No. Does he leave us at home? No, he doesn't spare us even in Salah.

So this constant struggle. You know when you're fighting yourself basically, constantly pushing yourself pushing yourself and at times you feel tired. You just want things to become easy. You just want things to you wait for that state when you will naturally want to pray when you will naturally want to give sadaqa when you will not have any difficulty in controlling your tongue in controlling your anger.

That the striving the struggle exhausts you but this is exactly what's being mentioned. Just don't be Miss Sabado a believers life

is full of striving.

Somebody is not being passive. It's an active state. It's a state of striving. You're conscious, you're pushing yourself, or you are trying really hard to hold yourself back.

But all this trouble remember, it's not going to go in vain.

Look at the reward. Jana Tanwar harira

I remember when I was going for a while once, and it was going to be a very difficult journey given that I was expecting at that time, it was a month of Ramadan and my child was also with us and was going to be a long flight physically, you know, I was unwell. But my mom advised me when I spoke to her, she said, just remember this was our home female Sabado Janet and we're harira no matter what hardship comes, whether it is physical, or it is mental, whatever hardship comes, because when you travel to the house of Allah, you will face hardships, isn't it? So just remind yourself where does our home be mas Sadhguru not for ingratitude. It's for southern Jonathan wa harira and when you

remember this, then somebody becomes easier. Let's listen to the recitation of these verses Bismillah your Walkman you're walking
