Taleem al Quran 2012 – P30 301C Tafsir Al-Mutaffifin 1-11

Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim Surah tomahto 15 Why you little Moto 15 war to those who give less than you a Lavina either Curlew or Allah NASCI. Yes, though phone. Those who when they take a measure from people, then they take it in full. But when it is their turn to give what either can do home or was a new home your see rune, when they give by measure or by weight to them, meaning to the people, they cause them loss. The beginning of the surah is very powerful way loan, a big wall destruction, this is a threat of punishment, a promise of punishment, for who, for which kind of criminals. For those who do that V, little motor 15. We'll talk 15 is a plural of the word motor fif. And motor

five is one who does that fief. From the root letters thought for you see the word buffer buffer is used for something that is near something that is near so it is attainable it is within reach. It's also used for something that has become visible to you. And many times what happens when something is near not far, when something is visible, not hidden? Do you want to touch it?

You want to get it? If it's too far, you don't even bother. But if it's near, what do you want, you want to at least touch it. If you can see it, it's as if it's inviting you, isn't it? But everything that we can see. And everything that is within reach is not permissible for us, isn't it, especially when it belongs to somebody else? So this is the meaning of the word tafa. Now for FAFSA, for FAFSA because the word is multiple 15 The FAFSA is to give short measure. What does it mean? That for example, if a person is supposed to give a cup full of something, they don't give a cup full, what they do is that they reduce it by just a little bit. This is the thief to give short measure, do not

fill the measure.

It is a tougher I love module that so and so give that man less, meaning he cheated him? How did he cheat him that he gave him less, he was supposed to give 100 grams, what he gave 98 grams 99 grams. So the difference you can see is very minor. What he's not giving is very little. This is why the word puffy is also used for that which is very little in quantity. Very little in quantity. The little that is left to add in order to fill the measure.

You know like when you're baking, and you need to take a cup full of flour. Alright. Many people are like, Oh, doesn't matter cup, half cup, two thirds of a cup of what's the big deal? Just take a cup, fill it and then just dump it. That's it. But will it get you correct results? No. What do they say? heaping cup? No leveled. And what does it mean by leveled? You fill it up, right? Heaping. But then you take a spoon, or a knife or your finger or something and then you pass it over the cup in order to make sure that it is level. Right. Now what falls off of the top? How much is that? Really?

How much? Is that just a little bit? That is also called the vif or to FAFSA. All right. And also think of a cup, right? You filled it with flour, and then you poured that you put that in another bowl. Is there any flour left in the cup? Is there How much is that?

How much is that? Hardly any? Right? That is also called to FAFSA.

So that fief that fee is to give less than you, but how less how much how much is it that you're not giving? How much is it that you're keeping with yourself? How much very insignificant amount? Very little amount?

So when it's so little, the other person even though they've noticed it, are they going to create an issue about it. They're not going to create an issue about it. Why? Why would they fight for just a few grams. Why would they fight for just a little bit? You understand because if they fight for it, they're gonna appear as greedy, etcetera. Alright, so Mapa fifth is one

One who gives less than you? All right. And the reason why this word is used is because he will never steal from the measure or balance except that which is very little. So moto five is not someone who will steal large amounts. Who is mortal fifth? One who will cheat regarding what hefty sums, big sums? No, very little bit. It's not substantial. It's very small, very insignificant. And usually, what do we think?

What's the big deal? It doesn't matter.

It's just a couple of cents. Right? Or we say it's just a little bit. It doesn't matter. What does Allah say, Waylon, Lil Moto 15. Whoa, to those who give less than you.

Because in Allah's court, every atom counts, who are Moto 15 alladhina, those who either turn who Allah nurse, when they take a measure from people, it dulu from kale, what the scale mean, to measure remember kale and wasn't, wasn't is to give things how, by weight. So in kilograms, pounds, etc. But kale is to give it by measure or volume, by measure or volume, so this much length, right? Or these many liters? All right, these many cups, this is k. So eQTL is to take something by volume or measure. So a Lavina, either Costello when they're taking something by measure,

when they're taking something by volume, from whom I learned as from the people. Now, technically, this should be men from people. Right? But the word Allah has been used, why for two reasons I love firstly shows that it is on the people to give them meaning it is a duty on people to give them their rights.

Allah, it's obligatory on the people to give them

all right. Secondly, what Allah shows is the salute that they force themselves on people whom they are receiving from. Because generally, when you're taking as a customer, right, when you're on the receiving end, you don't demand you don't make demands, you don't rule over the conversation. Right? Because you're on the receiving end, you're requesting somebody, could you please sell this to me? May I please have this from you? But if tallow Island nurse, when they're taking even they're taking how, in a very oppressive manner, almost like bullying? And how do they take it? Yes, though phone is the fat is to take something in full. So the mustafina are who that as customers. When they're on

the receiving end when they're taking how do they take?

How do they take fully, they take their rights fully. They demand even they will use force to ensure that what they're getting from the other is 100% so when they're on the receiving end, very accurate, very particular, what either Kallu home, but when kalou whom they gave by measure, now it is their turn to give you understand in verse number two what is mentioned when they are receiving when they're buying and in verse number three what is mentioned when they are selling when they are giving.

So what either can go home and Cana is to give something by measure or to give something by value. Now you see the difference between ICT Allah and kala what is ICT data to take by measure? And what is Calla? To give by measure? So when they give by measure, oh was a new home or they wave for people was a new buy wasn't meaning they give something by weight.

So they're selling something in terms of volume in terms of measurement in terms of weight? How do they give it

you'll see rune they cause loss. They cause loss to who to who to the other but by how much huge amounts know that we've how much very little so as customers very particular but as salespeople

cheating, very unfair when taking they want it all. When giving they give less. What does this mean? Different stand

words for themselves and different standards for other people.

And what does Allah subhanaw taala say, where you learn?

Now in the in these verses in particular, what is mentioned, it's with respect to buying and selling.

That when you're giving, taking by measure, by weight, you're conducting a business transaction. So motor 15 are those who cheat others. Those who are unfair to others. When they take they take fully when they give, they give little, and they cheat by just a little bit, not a lot. However, what is interesting is that you see, sometimes a person would make a mistake in giving to somebody there, right? Why? Because they didn't realize, you understand you intend to give one cup but by accident, you didn't realize there was something stuck within that cup. And so what you gave was actually less than a cup, right? You intended to be 100%. Fair, but you were not able to write because you forgot,

you didn't realize you didn't notice it was unintended. That's different. This is deliberate, because this person has the sense because when they're taking your cell phone, very active, very particular. But when they're giving deliberately your C room, this is deliberately cheating others, and this is deliberately causing loss to others.

And who would do that? Who would do that? Somebody who knows how to play with the system.

Right? Not an innocent person, someone who knows how to play with the system, someone who is well aware of the crimes in the world of business.

So he suspects others of cheating, which is why he ensures that when he's getting something he gets it in full.

Yes, though phone. But when he's giving, he commits double crime, Caillou, whom was a new home.

You see how when they're taking one crime as mentioned, yes, though phone.

But when they're giving to crimes are mentioned Calhoun, a was an Ohio.

Now the thing is that this attitude does not remain in business dealings only.

It affects all of a person's life. When a person develops his attitude, selfish attitude, where he's only concerned about himself,

I should get the best deal. I should save cents and dollars over here and other people, I could charge them extra. Why not?

And this is the concern that when they're buying, you see this is amazing. If you look at even big businesses, right? multi million dollar businesses, you know, factories in third world countries, where people are working 18 hour shifts nonstop in factories, how much money do they get? What are their wages like? $3 a day, $1 a day. $2 a day? How much do they get? Very little. Right? But the same garments, when they're brought into different countries, and they're sold than what happens? How much do they sell for?

Not triple, many, many more times the price, isn't it?

So when they're taking from others, taking so much out of them. And when they're giving, giving so little cheating them over, they're also cutting their pay because they came half an hour late cutting their pay because they took a lunch break.

Yes, though food were either Curlew home or was an oatmeal soon. Now, we can talk about the crimes of these big companies. But motor 15 You see this attitude, like I mentioned, it's not just there in people who are engaged in business dealings. This can affect all of a person's dealings. Like for example, in a marriage, what happens many times? What happens? People know about their rights as a husband, this is my right as a wife, this is my right. But what about our

obligations, our responsibilities to other people? When it comes to working somewhere, we know about our rights, but what about our work, our responsibility that we have agreed upon, that we have signed for when it comes to even worship? What is our relationship with Allah subhanaw taala we want that I make a DUA and instantly, instantly should be responded. I do a good deed and I should see the results right away.

I impatient here for two minutes, and I should you know the problem should be solved immediately. I forgive someone here and my life should be all perfect. And then when it comes to fulfilling our duty towards Allah subhanaw taala how is it that we're praying?

When we expect from Allah? What do we want? What do we want everything according to our desires, but when it comes to performing our salah, given to Allah what He deserves from us, then where are we where do we stand?

This can also be in will do like a person who's performing will do but he's negligent. You know, top thief, just a little bit, leaves the elbows dry when it comes to prayer, standing in Salah reciting Surah Fatiha eating up some words or missing certain words.

This is the thief way no limit of 15 and Ledeen Alladhina either Curlew or Allah NASCI Yes, though foon very demanding very forcible when it comes to their rights. But when it comes to giving other people their rights, different standards, and people who generally get things for free, like for example, somebody comes in says, You know what, I was at this store, I was at Rogers, and I got my phone plan for like this much money only. And I got this discount and that discount How did you do it? Well, I didn't leave the other person. I just gave them you know, I spoke to them spoke to them spoke to them, bullied them into it, and they agreed, and you're like, wow, I wish I had such

skills. Skills.

Alright, because some people can be very mean on the phone, isn't it? Or even at stores when they're shopping when they're bargaining? Allahu Akbar?

You Yoni It is horrible. I remember. I was in Pakistan a couple of years ago, and I went shopping. Of course, everybody goes shopping there. So I was there. And, you know, I asked how much something was for and they told me the price. And I'm like, Okay, I guess living in Canada for like, a decade, I forgotten how to live in Pakistan.

I was like, Okay, so I'm going to the, you know, to the cash register to pay. And this lady was with me, and she's like, Hold on.

Wait.

And she started bargaining with that, man, I'm like, please,

please don't do that for me. I don't want you to humiliate this for men. Just to save me a couple of dollars. I don't want that.

said no, no, no, no, he gave you a much higher price. And that is true. Because somehow they can tell who's local and who's not. So they know they don't have fixed prices right. But I was amazed at what lengths people go to, just to get a lesser price.

Humiliating others, but when we have to give than how do we give, when we have to take we take greedily when we have to give. We give stingily whaler little Mapa 15 Allah says, Allah will not Allah Iike Allah do not yellow no he think Allah Iike dos meaning those who do such that faith. Don't think think that unknown Nibiru soon that they're going to be resurrected. What are they doing? Don't they know that they're going to be resurrected? One day MOBA Russo implore luff mob, Ruth, when are they going to be resurrected? Lee Yeoman are Aleem for a tremendous day. A day that is or lean or lean. Great not just in its length but also in its enormity meaning very tough.

It's not an easy day. What is the Day of Judgment? It's beginning is so great in nuzzles, zealot, Assa T. Che on our leam just the Zelda itself that will commence the Day of Judgment is great.

And imagine the horrors that will follow. So people who are doing the thief, what are they doing Leoben or lien they're going to stand yo maya como nasil Lirac Bella aalameen Yama on the day Yakumo NASA, all people will stand before who little bill Alameen before the Lord of the worlds and notice how this has been set a nest all people, every single human is going to stand on the day of judgment before who the Lord of the worlds so those who do not give others that are hooked, what are they thinking because that is the day when I only met enough some man but that is the day when every person will see what they have presented my adomet What 100 What they sent ahead and what they

delayed

li yo man or Lee Aleem

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said that the Day mankind will stand before their Lord yo maya Coleman

NASA little bill Alameen This is a day the length of which is 50,000 years

50,000 years

and at that time, they will be immersed in their sweat.

People will be drowning in their own sweat and that will be according to their actions. Our beloved Ahmed ibn Al said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam recited this ayah Yo Ma como nesu there are Bill al Amin, and he said, What will be your state when Allah will gather you for 50,000 years?

He will gather you on that day, which is how long 50,000 years

and he will gather you like how an arrow is placed in a bowl.

What does it mean if an arrow is set up in the book? What does it mean it has to be released any second.

So, what does that mean?

That any time any second,

the hisab will begin. But he said for 50,000 years he will gather you

but he will not even look at you then

for a time like that he will not even look at you.

And you see when you're waiting for something to happen, then every moment becomes difficult. So for 50,000 years, he will not even look at you. And this is when people will become desperate. They will go to Adam early center they will say ask your Lord no Hello salaam Musa alayhis salam Ibrahim Al escena. So many prophets, they will go to Al Azzam and the people will request the prophets that you ask Allah to begin the hisab

send us to our destination whatever that destination may be.

Because that day itself will be so difficult. Yeoman Aleem. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,

yo maya como nasally robola alameen that day will be like 50,000 years. But for a believer, this will be very easy, like the declining of the sun until it sets

this 50,000 years as before what before the hisab begins? You understand? But this waiting period even for a believer is like the time when the sun is setting.

Calla in Nikita, well for Jerry Luffy said Jean.

Look at the connection of these verses. At the beginning, what kind of crimes are mentioned?

What kind of crimes what we consider as very minor insignificant, great punishment for such little little crimes even why? Because on the surface while these crimes appear to be very minor, the problem is much deeper. And what is that problem? Different standards for oneself and different for others?

And then we see warning is given that what are you doing? Don't you think about the Day of Judgment? It's a very difficult day, when all people will stand before Allah and standing before Allah. What does that mean? Nothing. Nothing of ours is hidden. Because what is that thing which is hidden from Allah? subhanaw taala? Which sin? Which action?

Which one?

There is none. That is hidden from Hola,

soy yo, Maya como Nassau lira, Bella aalameen. What does this mean? Allah knows what you're doing. Because many times other people, they may not catch us when we're cheating them,

isn't it? They may not catch us. Or even if they do, they might be too shy to bring it up. Because who's gonna fight over just what remains in the cup? You understand? I for example, if somebody owes you like they were supposed to return you $5.50

or $5.75 and they give you only $5. Now you know that they're supposed to give you 75 cents. But are you going to fight over it many times? What will you do?

You let it go.

Right. But this matters in the court of Allah. So Yo Ma como NASA lira better Alameen wa salam aleikum. Sometimes maybe a last one are telepathy on situation to test our feet. There is a true story. There was a was a mom was selected for some mustard. So you have to travel from one city to other city. So during the city when the pay is fair for the bus, so whatever he got, he got some quarter extra. So even he came inside in order

Does the god this quarter extra? So he was doubting yourself talking? Should I go back? Give it him? Oh, they have too many money? I don't think so they will realize that this quarter maybe just make a mistake? Should I keep it what you do finally decided to go back to the person and give them okay, this quarter you give me extra, the person who gave them extra quarter they said, Well, you're the person who's gonna select for the SEMA. He said yes. They said I just put this one to test you how you're doing that. And Alhamdulillah you prove your honesty. So you walk away and said, Oh Allah I almost solely for the quarter.

And this is why I mentioned in the beginning that tafa Is that which is

attainable, it's within reach, because when something you can see it's very tempting. But that little bit even matters so much.

Less and I'm already income.

So sometimes your teachers give you like, an extra mark by accident, saving. Yeah, even then you should tell you even point two, five or point 115. You know, one is that you didn't realize, you know, you didn't see it, you didn't realize that's different. The other is that, you know, the teacher made a mistake, you know, she's a human being. He's a human being they made a mistake and giving you marks that you don't deserve.

Same thing, and then sometimes you tell them, but they just like let it go and they don't correct it. Well, then it's their responsibility. Okay, you are telling them, and that's your job. You want to say something?

Oftentimes, when they give you extra marks, your friends tell you they give you an extra mark, and you get mad at your friend, instead of fixing it yourself. Yeah, yeah, sometimes we get upset with others. And why did you tell me? Right?

That's the thing. When we're on the receiving end, generally what happens? We're so particular, did I get 100% or not? This person was supposed to give me this much money, charge me only this much. Were they fair with me or not. But we need to have the same standard for when we are giving others to some miracle. I was thinking that the things that we're talking about here, we think are so minor. But like you were saying if it goes a lot deeper, and I was thinking that it has to do with arrogance, like once you start lying to yourself that I can do this, and I'll get it away with you start doing something big and when to start stealing from other people. There's the seed of

arrogance inside of you. That's why I lost one with all that saying that the punishment is so big, because of the arrogance that's inside of you. And when you start lying to yourself and to others, that's harming them even more. And this is why if you look at the next aisle Kela inochi, terrible for Jerry Luffy said Jean, Kola, no, meaning do not consider this, okay? This is not something insignificant. You might look at it as just 25 cents, you might look at it as point two five marks. But this is serious. And indeed the book of the Fajr, meaning the record of deeds of who for job for jar plural of the word fidget, who was fired, one who does a lot of voodoo voodoo, meaning sin,

openly ascending without any hesitation. And those who sins are terrible, meaning they don't just affect the sinner, but they affect others also. And that's what happens. When people cheat in this way, then what happens? It doesn't just affect them, it affects others too. So the book offer jar will be left visa gene, it will surely be in said gene.

Sometimes we wonder, such a great Lord. Why would he bother about little since?

Why? Because they matter.

This is part of his justice. That even for an atom's Wait, justice is established. The record off the Fauja will be in St Jean Wama adelakun, massive gene and what can make you know, what is the gene meaning you don't know? You've never been there, you can't see it. You can't reach it. You can only be informed about it and who is going to inform you about it. Your Lord will what is said Gene said gene from the root letter seen gene noon.

So gene is a place

where

below the earth's we see that

in Jana, there are the Rajat high levels. And in hell there are the Roccat low levels, right in Amman, Africa and dark Kill dark. Dark is a low level when a person dies.

their soul is taken up right to the heavens, the angels take it up

for the righteous, the gates of the heaven are opened, isn't it? And then the righteous person wishes to meet Allah eager to meet Allah. Correct. But, on the contrary, what happens to the soul of the wicked are the gates of the sky open? No. led to the whole level of wobble summer. They're not open. Instead, it is thrown down, thrown down. We see that there are levels of the skies when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went for Mara lodge at each level. He met different prophets. Correct. And there was a certain point where when Gibreel reached he said, I can't go beyond this.

Right high levels in the summer what we also learn about the levels beneath the earth. Now don't think of it as beneath the earth's crust, the mental and then the core know, Earth as in planet earth, under.

All right, and remember that summer the first summer is what what we know of that is summer.

All right. Now, beneath also, there are several summer worth and beneath also there are seven Earth's right. Now what are those Earth's? How are they? Where are they? We don't know.

We only see what do we see? The sky of the world? That's all we see. And all of the universe that we know about all the space that we know about is within what the first sky.

All right. So we learned that St. Jean is a place that is beneath the seven Earths. So you can imagine how high the seven skies are and how low is that place? Right beneath the seven Earths and it is said that the word is from surgeon surgeon Iza

prison.

So think of it as a dungeon. What is a dungeon?

It's an underground prison

where people are locked away

to just rot

isn't it and then eventually they die and nobody even cares about them. This is a gene
