			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim ye Bani Israel eel or children of Israel eel, with Kuru near Marathi.
Remember my fever, and Lottie anon to our Aleikum which I have bestowed upon you. What Oh phobia D
and fulfill My covenant, goofy br decom that I will fulfill your covenant. What a YAY or follow her
boon and be afraid of only me. After the story of other Marilla his salaam Now begins the story of
Bani Israel. And what I mean by the story of Bani Israel is that in these verses we will not only
learn about the history of Bani Israel I yield the favors that Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon
them, but also a special address a special invitation that Allah subhanaw taala is giving to the
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:46
			Bani Israel eel to believe in His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and to believe in this
book, the Quran and the Bani Israel eel will basically be mentioned now almost until the end of the
first Jesus. And you know, some people when they look at these verses, immediately their conclusion
is the Quran is anti semitic. But remember that the Quran is for all people. And Allah subhanaw
taala has sent guidance from the beginning we learned in the previous idea that when Adam and howa
Allah subhanaw taala forgave them. And then Allah subhanaw taala sent them to the world. And Allah
subhanaw taala promised that he would send guidance. So whoever follows that guidance, then there
		
00:01:46 --> 00:02:29
			will be no fear and no grief upon them, meaning they will be the inhabitants of paradise and those
who disbelieved and I the verses of Allah, then there will be severe consequences for them. So the
guidance that Allah subhanaw taala sent from the time of Adam already salaam was in the form of
different books that Allah revealed, different scriptures that Allah subhanaw taala revealed to
different messengers over time. So remember that after either Rene Salam we learned that 1000 years
after Adam Rene Salam came new Alayhis Salam and know how to use Salam It is said that he was the
first Rasul first messenger because up until the time of no holidays and and people were mainly upon
		
00:02:29 --> 00:03:21
			guidance, all right, and the first time that people began worshipping idols, Allah subhanaw taala
center messenger, in order to bring them out of darkness into light. So know how to use them came
1000 years after the Malays, salam, and then many years after no honey Salam was Ibrahim alayhis
salam, right. And Ibrahim already has Salam remember that his grandson was your coop or the his
sunnah. Okay, he or Kobani has Salam is who is Israa eel. So bunny is Surah eel are technically who
the descendants of your kooberi His Salam, who are also technically the descendants of Ibrahim
alayhis salam. So Benny is Surah eel or who Bani Israel you are people. Remember they're the
		
00:03:21 --> 00:04:07
			descendants of the prophets of Allah basically there are people whom Allah subhanaw taala sent many
prophets too many books were given to them, many special blessings of Allah were bestowed upon them.
They were people of Scripture, people of knowledge people of guidance, Allah subhanaw taala chose
them above the people of the worlds so many prophets were from among them we have you know Sulayman
or any of us salaam that would early his Salam. We have LDS early his Salam Yunus early his Salam,
so many prophets from among them. Finally we have at the end rissalah His Salam before him. Yeah, he
really has Salam Zakaria Alayhis Salam, and he so many prophets were from Bani Israel and the total
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:55
			arts the Injeel the Cebu were revealed to the prophets from among Bani Israel. So the Bani Israel
eel, he, they deserve a special invitation because they are the people who were recipients of
guidance previously. They are the ones from among whom ALLAH chose prophets. And they are the ones
whom Allah subhanaw taala sent his books to. So with the revelation of the Quran, they deserve a
special invitation. And along with that special invitation there is also a warning and exclusive
warning. Because remember that people who know are not the same as people who don't know, people of
privilege are not the same as people who don't have that privilege. So with privilege comes
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:00
			responsibility. And with responsibility also comes account
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:56
			to build it. So these verses that we're going to read from now on are not, you know, verses that are
showing hatred for certain people. No, they are a special invitation and also a reprimand. And to be
fair, you know, when you compare the warnings and even, you know the messages that are given in
these verses, they're far more mild compared to the warnings that are given within the tunnel, the
Old Testament, the toll dot, any the toll dots, it's far more harsh in its reprimand in its warning,
compared to the warning that is given in the Quran. So look at these verses, first of all, as a
special invitation a special warning. And these verses then also serve as a reminder a lesson for
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:46
			the rest of the people. Because yes, the bunny is slow eel are being addressed. But there's also
something that you and I can learn. Even though we're not from the bunny is slightly at least I'm
not any, there's still something that we can learn from these verses that are addressed to them. So
Allah subhanaw taala says here Yeah, Bani Israel or children of Israel eel, any look at the address,
first of all that you are children, you are descendants of Israel eel, it could have been said,
Yeah, Bernie our coop. Right but instead of your coop, the title of your coop or his salon has been
used here. You know, for example, in the Quran, no la Salam is described as in the hookah hub within
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:42
			shockula. Indeed, he was a very grateful servant to Allah, a very grateful sermon. What's the
message here? The message is, aren't you going to be grateful? So yeah, Bunny is Surah eel or
children of Israel, in your ancestor was a worshipper of God. Your ancestor was a soldier of God,
what are you doing? You also must show servitude to Allah subhanaw taala. So all children of Israel
eel on Kuru near Mati, remember, my blessing remember My favor. And one thing you should know about
Bani Israel I mentioned to you that Bani Israel are the descendants of who Jakob early his Salam,
and Iacobelli is Sena, remember, he had 12 sons, one of whom was Yusuf Ali Hassan. Okay, so Yusuf
		
00:07:42 --> 00:08:25
			Ali Hassan, remember that he ended up in Egypt, right as a slave. And then eventually when there was
that famine, and his brothers came to buy food, and, you know, he revealed his identity to them. So
what happened? He told his brothers that, you know, bring your families over here. So his parents,
his family, everyone came to Egypt and settled over there. Okay, so jacobellis is Salam. He was
where he was in Quran. Quran canon, the land of Canaan is where basically Palestine and Ibrahim
alayhis salam, remember that when his father said to him, Ibrahim, Arizona, now think about the
grandfather of your Kubernetes. Sam, how did he end up in Palestine? It well, he ran his son was
		
00:08:25 --> 00:09:05
			actually from Iraq. Okay. And what happened when his father, you know, tried to burn him, along with
his people that threw him in the fire didn't work out. His father eventually said to him that leave
or I'm going to stone you to death. throwing you in the fire didn't work. So I'm going to throw
stones at you until you die. So Ibrahim alayhis salam said in Nemo had your own Isla Robbie, I am
going to emigrate to my Lord, right? I'm going to make hijra, meaning I'm going to leave and I'm
going to go wherever Allah subhanaw taala orders me to go. So eventually, where did he settle? He
settled in Kanaan which is Palestine okay. And there Jacoba Are you salaam his grandson? He settled
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:53
			in Quran? On the other hand, Ibrahim alayhis salam, other sudden, okay, it's mareel or the salon.
Where was he settled in Makkah? Okay. So Bani Israel, even now, the children of jacobellis Salam,
technically their home is Quran, but they ended up in Egypt because of the famine. And now in Egypt,
what happened? That is basically where their population grew where they turned into a nation. Okay,
because at the time of Iacobelli, Sam, they were just, you know, just a small clan, his 12 sons, you
know, and their children, their spouses, etc, a small clan, but then over the years, that clan
turned into what into an entire nation into an entire people. And what did fit our own do fit our
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:59
			own enslaved them, and Musa alayhis salam was sent to rescue the Bani Israel right
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:44
			So remember the cross the sea, the sea was split, they crossed it, and then they were in the desert
for so long and eventually, you know, after Musa alayhis salam, they entered Quran again. Okay, so
now they're not just a small clan, they are an entire nation, they're an entire people. And after
most artists and I'm under the leadership of Yasha, early, he's Salam. When they entered Quran, they
established themselves over there, the Bani Israel, that is when they were given many commands.
Okay, the book of Deuteronomy in the Torah is filled with the commands that there were given, which
there were to observe and uphold as they lived in this land. What happened many years later, and
		
00:10:44 --> 00:11:31
			remember that soon, there was, you know, Sulaiman or his Sam Solomon artists and I'm built the
temple, the temple as in the beta Noctus. And the people used to, you know, that basically became
the Qibla they used to worship. Now what happened much after Sulayman early Salam in 597 BCE, the
Buka nazzer, he attacked this area and he basically destroyed the first temple and sent the Bani
Israel into exile. They were sent into what is called the Babylonian exile, they were enslaved, they
were no longer able to live in this land. Eventually, some people were able to return somebody is
what you were able to return. And then what happened in 70 ad, Titus destroyed the temple and again
		
00:11:31 --> 00:12:06
			the Bani Israel were sent into exile. So what happened in order to save their lives? Basically the
Bani Israel you were now scattered okay in the surrounding areas. So you had some tribes of Bani
Israel in Egypt, you know, some in Yemen, some even in the hijas hijas as in the area where Mecca
and Medina is. So at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There were three Jewish
tribes okay three tribes of Bani Islam II, that actually lived in Medina.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:13:02
			This is very important. Make sure you write this down that there were three tribes off the Bani
Israel that lived in Medina and these tribes are been okay no car, been on the lead and bunu kuruva
Okay, so Surah Baqarah is a Madani surah the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had now migrated to
Medina. So these ayat are what they are a special invitation to these three tribes. Firstly, that
remember Allah spavor Fulfill your covenant with Allah and believe in what Allah subhanaw taala has
revealed. And then beyond those three tribes, this address Yeah, Bani Israel eel isn't addressed to
who all of the Bani Israel until the end of time, okay? All of the Bani Israel until the end of
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:53
			time. So this shows us that Bani Israel eel, this is a race these are a people, okay, not just the
people of a religion, but there are people who are related through blood. Okay, so Allah subhanaw
taala is especially addressing them, that ye bunny is saw eel or the Kuru Nirma T. Three things are
mentioned in this ayah three commands are being given to them. The first command is, remember My
favor which I have bestowed upon you. And I mentioned to you that favor here does not mean just one
blessing, but many blessings, many favors. So the first thing is remember the blessings of Allah
upon you, which Allah subhanaw taala exclusively bestowed upon you Allah T and arm to Aleikum. This
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:41
			means that I only bestowed these blessings upon you and not on anyone else. Any these blessings were
exclusively for you. So what are these exclusive blessings that Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon
them? These blessings are blessings of Deen. Okay religious blessings and blessings of dunya worldly
blessings. And then some special favors also that Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon them. So what
are the religious blessings that they were given, especially given? This is the blessing of guidance
that Allah subhanaw taala sent among them so many prophets, spiritual guides, right and then along
with that scripture, and then along with that, any guidance, knowledge, awareness, when the people
		
00:14:41 --> 00:15:00
			around them were only human, right? They were unlettered, they did not have revealed scripture. They
were not upon guidance, any what a huge blessing. This is the course of hundreds of years. Right?
These people they know who Allah is, right? They have the book of Allah. They
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:50
			Have the teachings of the prophets with them. So with Kuru near Marathi remember this blessing which
I have especially bestowed upon you. And then secondly, the Nirmal over here also refers to worldly
blessings. What are the worldly blessings? Worldly blessings are many. First of all the fact that
they survived and thrived through so many ups and downs. Any think about it you know when Vulcan
desert when he attacked the Bani Israel eel and when Titus attacked the Bani Israel 1000s and 1000s
of Bani Israel were killed. 1000s of them were killed, they were sent into exile, any there was
extreme hatred for this particular nation. And yet this nation was not eliminated Allah subhanaw
		
00:15:50 --> 00:16:39
			taala enabled them to live on and then Allah subhanaw taala also gave them you know, kings like slay
man early his sinner who was not just a king, but a prophet as well. Kings like the wolf or a Salam
again, not just a king, but a prophet as well. Any there were people of civilization, people of
knowledge, other nations would look up to them. So they might already his salon. He he had so much
power and so much wealth at his disposal. And you know that other kingdoms the surrounding kingdoms
were basically subservient to him. You know, for example, we learn about how the Queen of Sheba in
she had a great kingdom she had a huge throne. And her and her people came in submission to Solomon
		
00:16:39 --> 00:17:23
			early sent him in the sense that they agreed to be not only did the Queen of Sheba embrace Islam,
but they also accepted the superiority of Solomon early slams kingdom. So, these are worldly
blessings, you know, just some worldly blessings which Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon them in
slaughter man either is number 20 You know, the bunny is slightly ill or addressed and it said is
Darla fie come Ambia wa Jalla como Luca, that look at the blessing of Allah upon you when Allah made
among you many prophets, and he also made you kings, which are hola como, Luca, were utter Kamal,
um, you had a mineral alameen and he gave you what he did not give to anyone among the people of the
		
00:17:23 --> 00:18:12
			worlds. So on Kuru near Mati, remember my favors, and then besides the religious and worldly
blessings, there were also some special favors that were bestowed upon Bani Israel. Think about how
they were saved from fit our own, fit our own head enslaved them, you know, he was basically doing a
genocide or there was literally ethnic cleansing when the males of the Bani Israel eel the male
children were being killed. What was the purpose over here the purpose was to finish the Bani Israel
to eliminate them. Allah subhanaw taala save them. Right? And then in order to save them, the sea
was parted Allahu Akbar, and then in the desert clouds in order to provide them shade, and special
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:54
			food is coming down from the skies. And then later on also when they're in Quran, there is a prophet
among them at all times, who provides them spiritual leadership, you know, this spiritual guidance.
So with Kuru Nero, Mattia Leti an arm to our lay calm, why, why were all of these special blessings
bestowed upon them? Because Allah subhanaw taala chose them for a certain reason that you will be
not only the recipients of guidance, but also a source of guidance for the rest of humanity. Right,
this is Allah's promise that Allah is going to send guidance. So guidance is going to come through
who it's not going to randomly appear to different people, it's going to come through other people.
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:37
			Right, so this was a nation that Allah chose. And among them, many prophets, Allah sent ye in order
to be an example for the rest of people, in order to be a source of guidance for the rest of
mankind. So remember, the favors of Allah. Now the question is, how do you remember the favours of
Allah remembering the favors of Allah doesn't just mean that you acknowledge with the heart?
Absolutely. It includes acknowledgement with the heart, that you acknowledge that yes, Allah has
given me this blessing. Allah has given us that blessing. But along with that, it also means that
you talk about the blessings that Allah has bestowed with your tongue. Right? So, vicar is with the
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:59
			heart and vicar is with the tongue, that you openly talk about the blessings that Allah has bestowed
upon you because when you talk about the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon you, then this, you
know, breeds gratitude, not just in you, but also in the people around you. And then remembering the
favors of Allah also includes remembering the favors of Allah through your limbs.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:48
			What does that mean? How do you remember the favours of Allah through your limbs? Meaning what you
do with your limbs, the actions that you perform, they show that you are a grateful servant to
Allah, that you remember you acknowledge the blessings that Allah has given you. And how do you do
that? What kind of actions are these these are actions which are in obedience to Allah. So all guru
near Mati doesn't just mean think about it, but also show gratitude. Acknowledge these blessings,
show gratitude, talk about them, and short obedience to Allah be more obedient to Allah. So with
Kuru near Mattia, Letty and arm to our lako, the second command that is given to the Bani Israel in
		
00:20:48 --> 00:21:34
			what oh phobia is the goofy bearer, the can you fulfill My covenant meaning the covenant that you
have made with me, and what will happen OVR DICOM I will fulfill your covenant meaning the covenant
that I have made with you. So in other words, fulfill your promises with Allah fulfill your covenant
with God. Now, this tells us two things, first of all, the fact that they promised Allah to do
something. And secondly, Allah subhanaw taala promised them something in return. Now what is it that
they said they would do? What did they make with Allah? We learned intuitively that either ie number
12, Allah subhanaw taala says what occurred occurred Allahu Meetha thakar Bani Israel and certainly,
		
00:21:35 --> 00:22:20
			Allah took the covenant of Bani Israel. What was that covenant? Later on? It is said in the idea
that let in a con to masala atta what Tatum was Xia Katha what man tongue Bureau SULI wiser to move
who occurred to Mala Kardon Hassan, that if you establish Salah and you give him a cat, and you
believe in my messengers, and you respect them, you honor them and you lend Allah a good loan
meaning you spend in the Cause of Allah. So this is what was required of the Bani Israel II. That
what should they do? They should establish prayer they should give the cat they should believe in
the messengers of Allah, they should honor and respect the messengers of Allah and they should spend
		
00:22:20 --> 00:23:02
			in the Cause of Allah and elsewhere also insulted earlier Milan is 187 we learn what is a hot Allahu
Misa Kalinina O'Toole Kitab one Allah took the covenant from the people who are given the book and
in Surah Baqarah. In the upcoming verses also we will learn about, you know, different commands that
Allah subhanaw taala gave to the Bani Israel. And these commands were not just given do this do
that, rather, a covenant was taken from them, that you give your word to Allah that you will do
this, okay? That you will follow. And when we look at the Bible, in the book of Deuteronomy, there
are so many, you know, commandments that are given. And even before the book of Deuteronomy, there
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:53
			is, you know, many commandments that are given related to worship related to ritual purity,
sacrifice, even, you know, slavery, you know, trade, et cetera. There's commands of all types that
are given. And in the book of Deuteronomy, it is said, specifically in chapter 18, verse 15, that
the Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet from among your people, Him you shall heed in
Deuteronomy 18, verses 18 to 19, it is said I will raise up a prophet for them from among their own
people, I will put my words in his mouth, and He will speak to them all that I commend him. And if
anybody fails to heed the word he speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. So among the
		
00:23:53 --> 00:24:37
			things that they were obligated to do, was to believe in the prophets of Allah. Right to believe in
the prophets of Allah. You know, there are interpretations Some say that it's referring to the
Christians, of course, will say it's referring to rissalah his Salam, but you know, this phrase from
among their own people, like yourself, that you know, a human being like you, the prophets, Allah
who were isms description in the Quran is what that meant unfussy him that he is from among them.
It's the exact same description and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi. wa salam, what did he recite? He
recited the Quran, right? The Quran is what it is the words of Allah, it is the speech of Allah
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:59
			Kalam Allah, the Bible is not considered the speech of God. Okay? It's not considered even, you
know, within this concept of the Bible is the Word of God is actually a newer concept. Anyway, of
course, you know, we believe that this is a foretelling of the coming of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wasallam. But the main thing is
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:46
			They were instructed that they must believe in the Prophet of Allah. Right the prophet that Allah
sense, they should believe in Him. And if anybody failed to heed the words he speaks, I myself will
call that person to account. Right? So there is a threat that is given. Besides that also, like I
mentioned, there's many commands that are given, okay? So the point is, fulfill your promise with
Allah, meaning, fulfill your duty to Allah, whatever that Allah has imposed upon you, whatever that
Allah commanded you to do, do that. Okay? The laws that he revealed, observe them the pledge that
you have given him of obedience, then show obedience to Allah. Okay, and then what will happen all
		
00:25:46 --> 00:26:32
			fibia decom I will fulfill your promise, meaning Allah subhanaw taala promise them something in
return. So we learn in total Matt, either I or 12, same verse that I mentioned earlier, that you
know, where they were told, if you establish Salah gives a cat believe in my messengers, honor them
and lend Allah a good loan, then what will Allah do in return for you? Little Calphalon neuron come
say you take on I will remove your sins from you, while he Lana can genetic engineering tactical and
how and I will certainly admit you into gardens, beneath which reverse flow, meaning I will admit
you into paradise. So all the big calm, I will fulfill your covenant, meaning I will give you what I
		
00:26:32 --> 00:27:19
			promised you. Right, I will give you what I promised you. So the promise is what that you will get
gender and you will get forgiveness. And in the book of Deuteronomy, in chapter seven, verse 12, it
says, And if you do obey these rules and observe them carefully, the Lord your God will maintain
faithfully for you the covenant that he made on Earth with your fathers, and what is that he will
favor you and bless you and multiply you. You know many other promises are given and Deuteronomy 28
is literally chapter 28 is all about what God promised them in return. So it says, now if you obey
the Lord your God, to observe faithfully all His commandments, which I am enjoying upon you, the
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:58
			state of the Lord, your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. And all these
blessings shall come upon you and take effect. And what are these blessings? Blessings are the
blessings show up in the city and bless it shall you be in the country meaning wherever you are
blessed it shall be the issue of your womb, the produce of your soil and the offspring of your
cattle the calving of your herd and the lambing of your flock. Blessings shall be your basket and
you're needing bull LeSage shall you be in your comings and blessings? shall you be in your goings?
Basically, Allah will bless you in everything you do and in your dunya and if this is the reward in
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:49
			the dunya, then what do you think the reward will be in the hereafter? So oh phobia de ofI Barra
Tico what a yay for HUBZone the third thing is fear only me be afraid of only me. And I mentioned
this to earlier that year yeah, the addition of a year you know, when a year comes with this
pronoun, it gives a meaning of if the sauce any only meat and it could have been said simply follow
her Boonie or what her Boonie and just be afraid of me. Alright, but the object has been mentioned
separately. And first what a Yeah, yeah, for a baboon, and any fear only Allah, only Allah should
you fear. Why? Because the fear of people inhibits you from obeying Allah. Right? The fear of people
		
00:28:49 --> 00:29:37
			does not let you live freely does not let you do what you believe in. And when you have fear of
Allah and only Allah, then this fear is what prompts you to do the right thing. So you cannot
fulfill the covenant you have made with Allah unless and until you have fear of Allah alone. Right?
So this is the cause this is what will become the reason for you're fulfilling the covenant with
Allah. So often it happens with people that they know what the right thing to do is, but they're not
able to do it because of the fear of people. Right. And we experienced this on a daily basis. That
how because of the fear of shame or fear of what people will say, or what people might do, you know,
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:59
			people are making poor choices on a daily basis. So what a year for Harpoon and drop, as I mentioned
is shit that will hold off right which makes a person vigilant any the fear of God is not just
something that you say you had you claim you have. It's genuine fear that makes you vigilant and
careful that you are in all
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			Have Allah and so you are careful no matter where you are and no matter what you're doing so fear
only me
