Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2021 J01-016C Tafsir Al-Baqarah 106-107

			Next if Allah subhanaw taala says man and self mean 1809 See her Net TV lady minha Ole Miss Lee her,
we do not abrogate a verse or cause it to be forgotten, except that we bring forth one that is
better than it or similar to it. Now, another thing that, you know, the people of the book,
basically criticized the Prophet sallallahu earlier sent them over was that, you know, you claim
that you will receive revelation from God, and that, you know, your book, the Scripture confirms
what was revealed previously, any we have read the description of the Quran that it is Musa Deacon,
right, that one that confirms the truthfulness of what came before. So if you are from the same line
		

			of prophet hood, or you know, you are basically from believer in divine revelation, you say that you
are a prophet of Allah, just as you saw in SLM was just as Musa alayhis salam was then how come the
law that you follow is different from the law that we follow? You see, why is your law different?
And it is true that there are many matters in which the law that we follow, including dietary laws,
a there are different from the laws of the Torah, all right. So, there is an important concept that
we need to understand which is a concept of nested abrogation, okay, where a law is replaced by
another law, okay? Or it is changed slightly. Okay. And this is something that Allah subhanaw taala
		

			has done any from Prophet to Prophet scripture to Scripture, and also within the Quran. Why? Because
the Quran or revelation is supposed to be for guidance, okay. It is supposed to be for guidance, it
is supposed to be observed, it is supposed to be practical. And over time, any over you know, since
the time of Adam or a Salam, there are many things that have changed drastically. For instance, at
the time of Adam alayhis, salam, his children were allowed to marry one another. Why? Because think
about it. All the human beings that existed at the time were basically who the children of Adam and
Hawa. Right? You know, it is said that the children that her work would give birth to would be in
		

			twin sets, basically, in twins, okay? A male and a female child would be born together. So they were
allowed to marry someone from a different twin pair. But is this something that was allowed later
on? No, not at all. This is something that became prohibited later on. Why was it permissible at the
time because who else would people marry? Okay, who else with the children of alimony said I'm
married the only human beings that existed at the time were their siblings. At the time, this is
something that was permissible. Later on, it was prohibited. Okay. Before the torah was revealed
before the law of the torah was revealed, all foods were permissible, okay, there was no concept of
		

			this is unlawful, this is lawful, and all foods were permissible, but with the law of the total
odds, what happened? Certain foods were made impermissible. And this is something that Allah
subhanaw taala also mentioned in the Quran, right? Before the law of the Torah, any there were
things that were considered immoral, okay. But there was no penalty, okay? Or there was no penal
law, there was no punishment. But with the law of the TODO what happened there was punishment for
this crime, punishment for that crime, punishment for this offense, punishment for that offense. And
really, if you look at the love the Torah, it is so detailed and there are portions of it, which I
		

			have read to you already in class, about punishment for, for example, breaking the Sabbath
punishment for disrespecting or cursing the parents, right. So there are punishments, okay. And
before the law of the Torah was given, those punishments were not given any day did not even exist.
Okay. So the Jews, basically they raised this issue, that you claim to be a prophet of Allah, same
God, right? You claim to be confirming the Torah. Well, how come some of the laws that you follow
are slightly different? Well, that is because there is abrogation. Okay. Allah subhanaw taala has a
right to give a law to a certain nation, and then change that law later on for another nation. All
		

			right, so we learned about how restarting is Sinan? Anyone he came? He changed some of the laws of
the Torah. Okay. Meaning for the people. He changed them. They were no longer required to observe
the same laws. You know, some laws were canceled other laws.
		

			were changed. And this is one of the reasons why the Jews denied him that how come he does not
follow the law of the Torah? Okay? So because they argued that, you know, if you say that God
changed the law, you're saying that God changed his mind. And for someone to change their mind, it
means that, you know, they came to know of something that they did not know before, or it basically
shows weakness on their part, but that's not the reason, Allah subhanaw taala change the law over
time for different nations. Why because different nations, you know, lived in different realities,
things changed for human beings, and the law always had to be practical, observable. And also
		

			another thing is that within the Quran, there is abrogation, how you know, that the Quran was
revealed over a period of 23 years, right, it was not revealed in one day, it was revealed over a
period of 23 years. And why was that done? So that people would be able to internalize and
practically follow the law, you see, societal change requires time for people to change the way that
they think to change their culture to change their you know habits it takes time. So, for example,
when it comes to the prohibition of alcohol, it was not given on one day, no, it was revealed
gradually, right. So for example, at the beginning, we learn about how you know Allah subhanaw taala
		

			revealed that oh, you will have believed do not go near prayer while you are intoxicated. So in a
situation where you are intoxicated, do not perform prayer, wait for the effects of alcohol to wear
off completely when you are in your full senses. Then pray. Okay, then another I was revealed after
some time, which is yes. Aluna. carnal humbly will Mesa Kulfi Hema is when Kobe Ramana fallenness.
They ask you about alcohol and gambling tell them there is a big sin in it. But there's also some
benefits. However, the sin is greater than the benefit and it was left there. Okay. And then the
iron sutra after some time was revealed, where Allah subhanaw taala describes alcohol and gambling
		

			as the work of shaytaan. Okay, and then it has said fudged any boo hoo avoid it, stay away from it,
keep away from it. Okay, fudge any boo hoo, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also
clearly, any he told people that it is prohibited, okay, now, the prohibition of alcohol was not
given in one day. Why? Because for people who are used to drinking alcohol, and He for whom alcohol
is a major part of their lives, they would need time in order to accept that, okay, this is
something that is not good for us and is something that we're going to stay away from. So this is
just one example of how there is abrogation, that initially, something was permissible, later on, it
		

			was completely prohibited. Okay? Likewise, you know, when it comes to inheritance, now, in Arab
society, there was no concept of women inheriting the wealth of, you know, their fathers or their
husbands, no concept of that, in fact, women were treated as property as part of the estate. So for
example, if a man died leaving behind a widow, you know, his brother, for example, or his son would
inherit the widow any automatically she would be married to them, she did not have any choice of her
own, okay. Now, imagine if on the first day the law of inheritance is given, people would not accept
it, people would have a lot of difficulty accepting it. So, the matter of inheritance also was given
		

			gradually, right, the law of inheritance was given gradually. So for example, at the beginning, with
respect to the widow, it was revealed that, you know, a man is allowed to make a will in favor off
his widow. Okay. And she has a right to stay in his house for a year. Okay. Basically gave the
message to people that a woman has a right over her husband's property after his death, and she is
her own person, she has property rights. Okay. And then after some time, another verse was revealed,
which was that the waiting period is not a year, but the waiting period is four months and 10 days.
Okay? And after that a woman is free to marry someone else. And she will just take her share of
		

			inheritance. And that's it. So the point that I'm making over here is that certain laws were given
gradually. Okay, and this means that a ruling was given, which was changed
		

			Interest later on for the benefit of people. And this is a privilege that was given to the
companions that they were the only ones who, you know, got to follow certain verses. Okay? We are
not able to follow them because they're no longer applicable. Okay? They're no longer supposed to be
followed. They have been canceled, they have been abrogated. Okay? Another thing is we see for
example, that, you know, pseudo Zab okay, it was revealed at a time when, you know, the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe, salam, the Companions, they went through a lot of difficulty, a lot of difficulty,
there was so much loss of lives, so many enemies from within the hypocrites and the people of the
		

			book, you know, in an Irish and we learned that sootel Zab was the same length as Surah Al Baqarah.
It was really long, okay. And the people would recite those verses, the prophets of Allah who are
listening would recite those verses, and those verses were basically a consolation to the
Companions, a consolation to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Okay. Like, for example, one
ayah in total, regarding the incident of if the incident of the slander against I shall do a lot
more on how Allah subhanaw taala says, don't think that it is evil for you. It is actually good for
you. Right, so there were similar verses, which were a consolation to the Prophet salallahu, alayhi
		

			wasallam and to the Muslims, but those verses are not in total Zab anymore. There were costs to be
forgotten. Okay. Why? Because this was a special favor for the companions. This was a special
privilege reserved for them. Okay, so when we're talking about pneus in the Quran, abrogation in the
Quran, remember that there's three types of noscope. Basically, three types of abrogation in the
Quran. First is the abrogation of the verse. Okay, the abrogation of the verse, and not the ruling,
not the law. What does that mean? That means that the law is going to be followed, but the verse is
not there in the Quran. Okay, the verse is not there in the Quran. And if you think about it, any
		

			there are verses that are in the Torah, okay, that gives certain rulings All right, which are to be
followed by the Muslims also, but you will not find that verse in the Quran. Okay, like, for
example, the punishment for a married Zanny, a married person who commits Zina, the Bible says very
clearly, very clearly, that the two have to be stoned to death the two will be killed. Okay, meaning
the man and woman who are married, any man who is married, and he commits fornication, a woman who
is married and she commits fornication and irregardless man or woman, they will be killed. The
punishment is murder. It's death, basically. Okay, this punishment we will not find in the Quran.
		

			But is the ruling applicable? Is it part of Islamic law? Yes, it is. It is. But you will not find
the ayah in the Quran. Okay, but the ruling is there. Another example is for instance, you may have
heard of the statement that about the greed of the son of Adam that if he had two valleys of gold,
he would want a third. Right? The if he had two valleys of gold, he would want a third. So this was
actually an idea, okay, in the Quran that was recited, but it's no longer part of the Quran. But is
the meaning still applicable? Absolutely. It is. Is it still relevant? Yes, it is. Okay, so this is
the first type of notice that the verse is not in the Quran, but the ruling is there. Okay, the
		

			ruling is there. Secondly, the second type of pneus is that the law is abrogated. Okay, but the
verse is not abrogated. The verse is still in the Quran, it is still in the most Huff. For example,
I mentioned to you regarding the prohibition of alcohol, alright, the first idea that was revealed
about it that all you have believed do not go near prayer while you are intoxicated, and that is
still in the Quran. Okay, now from that I Oh, we cannot derive that. Okay, you are allowed to be in
a state of intoxication. That's not allowed because that law has been abrogated by a later verse,
but the verse is still the most have and it is still recited. Okay, and the third type of abrogation
		

			is that both the law and the verse have been abrogated. Okay, meaning they're no longer in the
Quran. For example, so to zap I parts of Surah Arsa. Ne we don't even know what they were
exclusively for the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, and it's no longer there in the Quran. So this is basically
		

			The you know, three types of abrogation. Okay, I'll repeat quickly. First is abrogation of the verse
and not the law. Second is abrogation of the law and not the verse. And the third is abrogation of
the law and the verse, okay. Now, one thing you should know is that when it comes to abrogation,
abrogation is only in law, okay? Not in information. Okay, not in Kabul. So for example, the verses
of the Quran that inform us about the events of the past or the events of the future, okay, those
are not changed, why because fact is fact an event that will happen is going to happen. And he those
details are not changed, the change is only in law. And Allah subhanaw taala has all the right to do
		

			that. And the minima they have discussed different benefits of abrogation, what are the benefits,
the benefits first, as we see in this ayah, Allah subhanaw taala tells us that net DB lady minha,
Ole Miss Lee, that the new version, the new law, okay, is better than the previous, how is it
better? It is better because it is easier for people or it is clear for them. Right? So it's a
blessing. It's a mercy. Okay? And also the concept of pneus. What does that remind us? What does
that show us that Allah is the legislator, okay? The source of law is who it is Allah or xojo. And
he has the right to give a law and he has the right to change the law or to cancel the law. Okay, he
		

			can do whatever he wants. He is the source of the law. And another benefit of NUS is that, you know,
especially where, within the Quran, there is abrogation that certain commands were given and then
they were changed later on, or they were cancelled later on. This is a part of gradual revelation.
Right? This is an acknowledgment of the fact that people need time to change. This is Allah subhanaw
taala His mercy His favor on this OMA especially in the Companions, that they were given that time
to make the required changes in their lives. Another wisdom is that this is basically a test okay,
this is a test for people. You know, for example, in certain Nahal i 101, Allah subhanaw taala says
		

			what either but does not I attend McKenna I attain, that when we replace a verse with another will
Allah who are Allah will be my universal and Allah is most knowledgeable of what he revealed. Paulo
in Nama and tomato some people say that you are basically a fabricator, you are inventing things,
that one day you say one thing another day you say something else, after some time you change the
law, you are making all of this up. So for some people, it's a test by actor whom lie on the moon,
rather most of them do not know. You know, when it comes to behavioral change, you know, you need to
give people time, any change that you bring about even in your personal life, you need to take baby
		

			steps, right? And Allah subhanaw taala is our Aleem, he is ever knowing he is Hakeem he's ever wise.
He knows what his servants need. And so if the law of the Torah right, it is changed now. Any we're
not to follow the Mosaic Law exactly as it is. There are only parts of it that we follow parts of it
have been changed. Allah subhanaw taala has the right to do that. And if within the law of the
Quran, you know, there were changes. Then again, Allah subhanaw taala has the right to do that
there's wisdom behind it. And here we are told Allah Tala and Allah Allah co Leisha encoded, did you
not know that Allah is over everything or deed ever April, he can do whatever he wants. He need This
		

			is Allah's mercy on his slaves, that he has not burdened them with sudden changes, because that
would be very difficult for people. And Inshallah, if you want to read more about this topic, one
book I would recommend is the book on LUMO. Quran, the sciences of the Quran by Dr. Yasir qadhi. It
is an older book, and he was written, I think, at least 15 years ago, if not more, but it's written
in a very simple way. It's very easy to understand, you know, especially this chapter on abrogation.
If you have this book, make sure you read it. Make sure you read this chapter. And if you don't have
this book, I encourage you to purchase this book. This book is an essential for every student of the
		

			Quran. Okay. Lumo Quran by Dr. Yasir qadhi If someone can please post a link or something. It's an
excellent book. It's written really well very clearly.
		

			Then Allah subhanaw taala says and I'm Tara lamb and Allahu Allah, whom will customer what you will
do not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. Allah subhanaw taala
owns everything. So why are you trying to restrict the power of Allah, any Who are you to criticize
that Allah subhanaw taala should not change the law or he cannot change the law that he has
revealed. He has every right to do that. And he owns everything. He knows everything. He can do
whatever he wants, you can criticize all you want, you can object all you want, but what is your
criticism going to do? It's not going to make a difference. And if you turn away, then when Allah
		

			come in, don't allow him in will leak you will aniseed you do not have besides Allah, any protector
or any helper, you don't have any ally to assist you to protect you and you have no helper to help
you. other than Allah. So you belong to Allah. Allah owns everything. And Allah is your protector,
Allah is your helper. So whatever Allah subhanaw taala has commanded you with do it with confidence,
because sometimes we begin to fear people, especially you know, when it comes to Islamic law, okay,
when it comes to the shittier oh, by the way, Sharia law, this is the same as saying chai tea, okay?
Should er means law. So, when it comes to the law that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed, be very
		

			confident about it. Okay? And no matter how much people criticize, or no matter how much people
villainize the shitty ah, remember that this law is the best law. And don't be afraid. Because, you
know, like I mentioned to you the Bible is very clear about putting to death people who Forney.
Kate, the Quran does not say that the law of the Bible, the love of Torah is much, much more harsh,
much more harsh, you know, there are parts of the Bible which are considered to be extremely
violent, okay, extremely violent. This professor of mine in a class that he taught on themes of the
Bible, and he he spent a long time discussing how violent the Bible is. And I was like, wow, you
		

			don't typically hear people talking about this. You know, people point all these fingers at the
Quran. The Quran is misogynistic. The law is very brutal, the law is very barbaric. It is not. First
of all, remember that the penal law that we have the punishments, especially when it comes to
capital punishment, this is originated in Mosaic Law, meaning in the law of musante sin and the law
of total it earlier we learned about how when they you know, when the bunny is slightly worship the
calf, what was the punishment, the people who worship the calf had to be killed, right, that is
mentioned in the Bible as well. So that is the basis the origin of capital punishment. Okay, for who
		

			for the mortared, even Mirtha doesn't the one who leaves Islam. Okay. So this is actually based on
what on the Mosaic law. So don't let people bully you. And don't let them make you think that the
shittier is violent, or the shittier is unfair, or the shittier is barbaric. If people say that they
have not read the Bible, they have not read the Torah. They don't know what they're talking about.
The law that Allah subhanaw taala has revealed in the Quran, it is based on justice, it is based on
mercy. Allah subhanaw taala tells us that he has sent this messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
why where you are and who is Surah home, while Allah Allah Allah T cannot RLA him basically to make
		

			the law easier. And he think about the dietary laws that the Jews are supposed to follow or even the
cleanliness laws, the purity laws, they are so difficult, so difficult, you know, for example, when
it comes to obtaining purity, all we need to do is take a hosel right or simply remove the impurity
take a bath or make will do depending on what situation you're in. But in the Mosaic Law, purity is
obtained over time, and depending on what defilement you are in, okay, you have to spend seven days,
10 days, 15 days or whatever amount of time any before you can become pure. So it's not just a
simple act that you just go wash up or you just Go change your clothes or you just make ablution or
		

			you just take a bath that does not make you pure, there is also time required. So the law that Allah
subhanaw taala has revealed in the Quran. It is a law that is based on mercy and justice. It is
beautiful. It is easier and this is the reason why there is abrogate
		

			tion. This is a reason why the law of the Quran is different from the love of the Toba because the
law of the Quran is supposed to be easier NET team behind him and her. This is something better,
right? Oh Mithi ha or it is something similar, right? So don't you recognize Don't you know the fact
that Allah owns everything and you have no protector, no helper besides Allah. This is the law that
Allah has given. All right, and this is for your benefit if you turn away your loss
