Taleem al Quran 2021 J01-011C Tafsir Al-Baqarah 60-61

Are the below him in a shape line of a jean Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim verse number 60 sudo to baccala y e this test, Musa li call me he for could not breathe better Assad can hedgehog and recall when Musa has said and prayed for water for his people. So we said strike with your staff the stone phone for Gillette men whose letter I shot arena and their gushed forth from it 12 springs, and now that there were 12 Springs for their Idema could not own Esin Masaba home, every people knew it's watering place, the bunny is slightly over told Kulu a shovel may risk Allah eat and drink from the provision of Allah when at Arthel fill up the obsidian and do not commit abuse on the earth

spreading corruption. Now in the previous IO, we learned about how the money is thought you were told to enter a particular city and they were told to enter with humility and to seek the forgiveness of Allah subhana wa Tada. But they did so in a complete opposite fashion. They did so arrogantly sliding on their behind and changing the words that they were taught. So, you will notice that the incidents that are mentioned over here, they are not mentioned in a chronological order, okay, these incidents are not mentioned in a chronological order. rather different incidents are mentioned, you know, from different times from different periods of the history of Bani Israel. And

the purpose over here is to not give is to not teach history, but to remind the Bani Israel of the favours of Allah so that they become more humble, they become more grateful, and they believe in the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So when is it that Musa alayhis salaam prayed for water for his people, we learned that this happened after the bunny is sawed you crossed the sea. Because remember, when they crossed the sea, now there were in the desert, they didn't exactly have anything with them. And if they did bring any supplies, now is the time that they're running out of those supplies. So then, when they're in the desert, they're in need of water, Allah subhanaw taala

bestowed this special favor upon them, that they were given, not just money and Sunhwa food, and not just the cloud that provided them shade shelter, but they were also given fresh water to drink. And this is of the many favors of Allah upon them. So in the Bible, we learned that in Exodus chapter 15, verses 22 to 27, that one moosari The Santa took them across the sea. It says the Moses caused Israel meaning the children of Israel to set out from the Sea of Reeds, meaning the Red Sea, they went on into the wilderness of shoot, they traveled three days in the wilderness and found no water. They came to Mara, but they could not drink the water of Morocco because it was bitter. So that is

why that place was called Amana. And the people grumbled against Moses saying, What shall we drink? So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. That's what the Bible says, He threw it into the water and the water became sweet. So there he made for them a fixed rule. And there, he put them to the test. He said, If you will heed the Lord your God diligently doing what is upright in his sight, giving air to His commandments, and keeping all his laws, that I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians, and they came to a lien where there were 12 springs of water, and also many palm trees, and they encamped there beside the water.

So there's two incidents mentioned in the Bible. One is that they came upon a place where there was bitter water and Mozart is through a stick and the water turned sweet, you know, people were able to drink it, and that later on, they came upon a place and they settled over there and there were 12 streets. The Quran correct this, the Quran tells us that no, Musa alayhis salam did not just throw any stick, and he didn't just throw it in bitter water. It's possible that that was a separate incident that also happened. But the Quran teaches us that this was a miracle that was granted to Masada, his sunnah. And this miracle was especially given for the benefit of Bani Israel so that

they would have fresh water to drink. And the Bible also mentions 12 springs of water and the Quran also mentions federal Tamil was letter are shorter in and these were not just random strings of water, these springs of water came about as a miracle as a blessing as a special favor of Allah upon the Bani Israel. So what is this our Musa live

Call me here and we see over here, the kindness of Musa alayhis salam, the love that was already in the SAM head for his people that he was a concerned leader that he didn't just say figure it out yourselves know he prayed to Allah azza wa jal he asked Allah azza wa jal Vidya Allah grant water to my people and what happened for coin not breed bear Sokal hedgehog Musa listen I prayed at his door I was answered right away, Allah subhanaw taala said, that strike the stone with your staff. Now which staff is this, this is not just any piece of wood, this is our soft cup, your staff, your stick, and remember that this is the same stick that you know turned into a snake and frightened

will start a sound the first time that he saw that and eventually he was supposed to perform that miracles in the core to fit our own. And this is the same staff that turned into a snake and swallowed the magic of the magicians. This is the same staff that parted the sea. And now when Husein is said I'm struck the stone with it 12 Springs gushed forth. So remember that it is not the staff the stick that had some power in it. No, it is the miracle that Allah subhanaw taala cause to occur. And this is so amazing, that you know, it's just a stone that is dry, that is hard. And when most artists have strikes it with the staff 12 Springs gush out, not just one or two springs, 12

springs, Allahu Akbar. So for root beer of socket hudgell. Now, one thing that's interesting over here is that Musa alayhis salam had to strike the stone, right, he was told to do something for his people. And this teaches a very important lesson that as leaders, and also you know, as people, yes, we ask Allah subhanaw taala but prayer does not mean inaction. When you're making dua. That does not mean that now you don't have to do anything else. Dora is with action. So Busan is Salam. He made Dora and it's not that you know, water is being automatically we know it's caused to gush forth from random places no Musa design is told to do something. Money on right when she was in the midst of

you know, her pains when she's giving birth. She is told insulates money. Am I 25 We learned well, who's Z Leakey big enough naughty. She is told to shake the tree, right to shake the dead palm to circuit or like Europa geneia and fresh ripe dates will fall down on you. dates were not brought to her on a platter. No she was supposed to shake the tree and get the dates. We learn about a YouTube early is Samantha when he was sick and he made dua to Allah for healing in sort of sod I have 42 He is told on coop village Lika that you should strike the ground with your foot. And when he did that, Allah subhanaw taala caused a spring to gush forth and that water a Uberti Sudan was supposed to use

that to wash himself and also to drink. So this is the way of Allah that Allah subhanaw taala will answer your door us but the answering of your laurels does not mean that you will have to do nothing. relying upon Allah depending on Allah does not mean inaction. You make dua, Allah subhanaw taala will show you the way. And now you have to do something about it. So Mussolini's Sudan, he's told it would be our socket hijo. Allah subhanaw taala could have provided water without Husein instead of having to do anything. But that's not the way of Allah for cleaning up rebel circle hijo. And this does not diminish the power of drop, not at all. Dora in and of itself is very powerful.

Right? So for example, we learned about how the prophets of Allah who already has sent him when he made God and one occasion he just said, Allah who must be now Allah Who Messina Oh ALLAH provide us water, oh Allah provide us water. And Hadees we know that there was no trace of any cloud in the sky, and suddenly the sky was filled with clouds, and there was so much rain that it fell for an entire week. So there are does not mean inaction and at the same time, action does not mean that you are diminishing the power of Dora. Dora itself is powerful, and we call upon Allah and we also do what Allah subhanaw taala tells us to do. We also have to use the means that Allah subhanaw taala

has provided. So the main thing

Is that making or does not mean that now you just sit and do nothing? Okay? Fun Phaedra Minho, snetor are shorter IMEA So Musa Hassan struck the stone and what happened 12 Springs gushed forth. Now why 12 springs, because like I mentioned there were 12 asbel or 12 tribes of Bani Israel, you and this division was extremely important so that people would not end up quarreling and fighting with one another. Because you know that, especially when people are thirsty, and there are large crowds, and resources are limited, then, you know, it's very easy for people, you know, to start quarreling and fighting. And sometimes people, you know, such fights, they get out of control, and

there's loss of life even. And you also know that sharing can be hard, right? Especially when there's so many people. So this was a huge blessing of Allah upon them, that there were 12 springs, not 10, not five, that they had to share for 12 springs, so called the Alima, coolant onesie Masaba home, and each group of people knew their place of drinking in each tribe knew which spring they were supposed to access. Now we learn in the Quran about the story of Sonic and a setup that, you know, when his people demanded a miracle from him, because they demanded that a she camel should just come out from the rocks. And that miracle was fulfilled, it happened, but then they were tested

through that vehicle as well. So they were told, we learned in school of commerce, I had 28 that when a beat home and Alma Akismet on Boehner home Kulu she'll be marketable. That informed them that the water is shared between them, between who between them and that she candle each day of drink, attended by turn. So one day, it was the turn of the she camel to drink. Okay. And the other day, the next day, it was the turn of the people you know, they could bring their animals etc. To drink. We don't sweat the short I have 155 on ahead he Napa to Lucha shippon one a commissionable yum embargo, that this is a she camel, you asked for it, here's the miracle that you demand it. And for

her is a time of drink. And for you is a type of drink each on unknown day. So same pattern we see over here with the Bani Assad in that there is division, there's clarity, so that you know there is no fighting, there's no shortage of resources. So this is why the Idema cooler or nasty Michelob every group of people knew their drinking place. And this shows that, especially when there is a whole lot of people, there needs to be organization, there needs to be clarity. And people don't know who to ask what and where to access different things from then there's chaos. So this division, this organization is incredibly important in large groups, called a washable Medus. In that they

were told eat and drink from the provision of Allah feeds what the men and Sunhwa and drink meaning the water of the springs myth, this pillar, all of this is provision of Allah which has come to you without any effort, without any difficulty on your part, this is purely blessing of Allah, one that are thankful of the move, sit in and do not commit abuse on the earth. Because if you commit abuse on the earth, and you would be the ones who are spreading corruption, so do not do that. Now the question is, how could they be wreaking havoc? How could they be committing abuse, spreading corruption, when they're in the desert, right? When they're in the desert, they're not really

interacting with other people, there aren't many worldly resources available to them. And this shows us something very important that, you know, like the Prophet salallahu Alaihe, Salam told us that when you're making we'll do even if you're making water from the water of a river, only use as much as you need. Right? Which is why, you know, when we're making we'll do the maximum that we should wash ourselves, the maximum number of times is three, right? You're washing your face three times, you're washing your arm three times not more than that, minimum one and maximum three. So even if there are abundant resources available to us, remember that if we become wasteful, then we will

cause corruption. Because sometimes we think that you know, just because we can afford certain things, then we can do whatever we want. And it's high time that we become careful about how we are using the resources that almost panel Tata has given. You know, for example, a few years ago, there was this height of

about, you know, you're not using plastic straws. And finally, there are places that will give you paper straws or something alternative or not just give you straws, just like that. They will only give it to you if you ask for them. Why? Because there were those videos of turtles in whose noses you know, there's plastic straws that are stuck, you know, switching to non plastic straws is not solving the problem, there are still a lot of garbage that we are producing. You know, recently I was reading somewhere about how now what is really polluting the oceans, especially beaches is plastic containers, takeout boxes, especially in last year and a half because restaurants are

closed, people are taking food home, in want in plastic boxes. So just because we can afford these things, and just because they're you know, easily available to us, it doesn't mean that we use the resources irresponsibly. Anybody is like you are in a desert. They're given month, Salwa and water, simple things, basic things. And they're also told do not cause corruption on the earth. And we really need to look at ourselves how we shop for, you know, single use plastics just so that we don't have to wash dishes, we will use plastic plates, plastic cutlery, plastic cups, and throw things just because we have a garbage truck coming up every week. Any be responsible. Pay attention

to these things. When a thorough thorough fill or the move sit in. And you know, we clean our kitchen very quickly. We clean our house very quickly. But where's that garbage going? where's that going to end up? What lies is that going to destroy? You see Darko filled up, do not commit abuse on the earth. You know, you might think Well, how am I committing abuse of the Earth, I'm just living in this part of the world. Because what happens in one part of the Earth affects another part of the Earth, the garbage that we're producing is going to end up somewhere else, the things that we throw away, are going to end up somewhere else. So let our fulfill of the move city. So this is first of

all a lesson in, you know, using earth's resources responsibly, using the blessings that Allah subhanaw taala has given us responsibly without being wasteful. Like we're told at another place in the Quran. kudu was trouble we'll have to see food, eat and drink. And do not be excessive, do not be extravagant. Be just because you have access to certain resources doesn't mean that you can be wasteful, and then let our fill fill up in obsidian. Remember I mentioned to you earlier that facade is also through sins, right through acts of disobedience. So all of your needs are being fulfilled, you have no reason to fight with one another. You have no reason to get into all of these politics

and drama amongst yourselves. You have the blessings of Allah, and with the food and drink and the ease that Allah subhanaw taala has given you don't use your body and your energy in committing sin. Let our fulfill our dream of city. rather use this body and the energy that you're getting from the food that Allah subhanaw taala is providing you to do good things, because disobedience leads to corruption so that our autofill of the obsidian and we also need to think that you know what we eat and drink the different varieties of foods that Allah subhanaw taala has given us when we eat and drink then what do we do? So for example, if we're sitting together as a family, and we enjoy a good

meal, we enjoy a good drink. What are our conversations about and then what do we do afterwards? We need to pay attention to these things. Then another blessing of Allah subhanaw taala upon the Bani Israel. What is cool to me or Musa Lana spiller? I love barbed wire. And recall when you said almost, we can never endure one kind of food, we will never put up with one kind of food. Now if you think about it, the bunny is slightly we're not just given one food. There were given men and salsa. And remember Salwa, quails, bird meat, man, either mushrooms or you know something sweet. Do there's different opinions about what money is I told you about all those opinions? So men and Sanwa The

main thing is, it wasn't just one food, there was variety. But any if you think about it, if the menu was always the same, of course, as human, you're gonna get bored. So for example, if there's a buffet even, and, you know, you go to the same one every single day, the menu is the same. Okay, there's chicken, there's rice, there is a salad. There's big potatoes, for example, every day it's the same. You will get bored

This is human. Now the bunnies saw Eve. Remember, they were not meant to stay in the desert. This was not their home, this was not supposed to be a permanent situation. This was a temporary situation where they are basically crossing the desert. And you know, every sometime they camp somewhere to stop somewhere. Because they're passing the desert. They're making their way to Koran. And as they're crossing the desert, Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon them, you know, Monday and Sunhwa every single day so that they don't have to worry about food. Because when you're traveling, and you have to worry about food, it makes travel extremely difficult. Are you supposed to journey

on are you supposed to stop and prepare food? Imagine out there not just 100 or 200 people, they're probably in the 1000s. So preparing food for so many people, and then acquiring that food and preparing that food and serving that food and then eating that food and then wrapping up that food you need the entire day, which is go in food related things. So they were basically fried off the responsibility of providing for themselves so that they could quickly cross through the desert.

And that's why they would get mugged and Sunhwa it would come down to them from the sky. So they got bored very quickly. And they said that we're never going to endure with one kind of food. And basically the way that they're saying this lameness, but we're never going to put up with this. This is extreme ingratitude. Many think about the blessing of Allah that Allah has taken that burden away from you. I mean, if any one of you is such that you have to prepare food for your family every day. And there are times when you wonder at the end of the day, what did I do all day, in the morning, have breakfast then I wrapped up and then I went grocery shopping. And then I came and organized the

kitchen and then I prepared lunch and then I did dishes and then I was thinking about what to make for dinner and then I made dinner. And now that kids are home people are working from home, Mashallah. Their appetites also, you know, people want variety, you're not going out to a restaurant, so you want restaurant food at home, there isn't, you know, places to go, there aren't people to meet. So how do you entertain yourself, you just, you know, prepare different foods and you eat that. So when that burden is on you, to prepare food for so many people, and to you know, even feed yourself. It takes a whole lot of mental energy, physical energy, and Alhamdulillah it's a

huge blessing of Allah that feeding people is rewardable It's actually a good deed. One of the first things that the prophets of Allah who already said I'm taught when he came to Medina was up there in that feed people. So Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah we don't do this begrudgingly. We don't do this within gratitude. But we recognize that Alhamdulillah it's a blessing. And yes, it is reportable, and at the same time, recognize that it's not always easy. It takes a whole lot of mental energy, physical energy, but it occupies a huge space in your life, basically. So the bunny is like you any day expressed extreme ingratitude when they said we will never put up with this Lenise that are

allowed farm wide. Well, you're not here for entertainment, you're traveling through through the desert, you're just supposed to pass through here in the Bible in the book of Numbers, chapter 11. One it says the people took two complaining bitterly before the Lord any they were complaining a great deal and the word that is used complaining bitterly it's also you know, it means to mourn and to whine. Any be expressed that lack of patience, right lameness, Berala farm and the surface themselves. And in numbers 11, four to six it says the riffraff in their midst felt a gluttonous craving. And then the Israelites wept and said, If only we had meat to eat, we remember the fish

that we used to eat free in Egypt. Now they're getting somewhere bird meat. They want cow meat or other kinds of meat. And now they're remembering the fish. And they said we remember the fish that we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions and the garlic. And they said, now our gullets are shriveled our stomachs, our insides are shriveled. There is nothing at all. Nothing but this manner to look at stuff it'll learn us better I love to Army why.

And then look at their audacity their rudeness Lusardi his Sena they say further ruler of buck. So you Call upon your Lord for us.

You go and make dua at least they could have said Our Lord, but they said Rob Buck You're about as if they had nothing to do with Allah stuff.

They said you make dua and you know there's nothing wrong in asking other people to make their offer you but the laziest person is the one who does not even make doll for themselves. You need at least do this much that you make doll for yourself. And okay you can also ask other people to make their own but at least make your yourself so they said federal in our book, you go and ask your Lord that usually agenda in that in between that he should bring out for us he should bring forth for us from what the Earth produces from what the earth gross, and he should cause the earth around us to grow different things. We want a variety we want the foods that we like. And here we should be provided

in Buckley, how work is that? You have a full me how where are the see how about somebody I need, they're basically giving an entire menu. We want variety, right? We want different foods. Now, like I said earlier, it's very normal to YES to get bored. But if you remember your goal, if you have a purpose, then you don't really pay much attention to what you're eating. You know, as long as you get a good meal, as long as you get something that is filling that is healthy for you. That's good for you. You're fine. You know, for example, days that you're extremely busy, you don't mind eating a bagel for lunch, and you will see people who are who are doing important things or doing big

things. They're not that much into eating great foods. They need the basics. They need their coffee, they need their water. They need for example, a salad for lunch or whatever, you know, arrangement that they've made. But the main thing is that they're not obsessing over food. You see an idle mind is the devil's workshop. And people who don't really have purpose, okay, people who don't have purpose are people who are constantly obsessing over what they're going to eat next.
