Taleem al Quran 2021 J01-017B Tafsir Al-Baqarah 113-114

Bismillah AR Rahman AR Rahim verse number 113 Wirkkala Talia who lay sat in Nosara Allah shade. The Jews said the Christians have nothing to stand on Wirkkala 10 masala lace Attilio hoodoo R la che and the Christians said the Jews have nothing to stand on. Well whom yet Lunel Kitab although they recite the Scripture, Gallica kala Lavina lair Allah Munna, Mithila Kohli him. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words phala Huya como Bina homeo will piano T female can ofI he looked at the phone, but Allah who will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ earlier in iron number 111, we learned that the Jews and the Christians

say that layer, the halal janitor, 11 Kena, who didn't own a surah that none will enter paradise except the Jews or Christians. Okay? Now, there's two understandings of that. One is that each group claims that only they will enter Paradise, or both the Jews and the Christians in their enmity towards Muslims, they show a united front that only we will enter Paradise, and you will not enter paradise you Muslims will not enter paradise. So this idea exposes their reality, the reality of the Jews and the Christians, any they appear to be together they appear to be, you know, friends of one another and supporters of one another. But deep down, what do they really believe about each other?

Because it has happened many times that the Jews and the Christians have united against the Muslims. But what is it that the Jews really believe and say about the Christians? And what is it that the Christians really believe and say about the Jews? This idea teaches us the Jews say about the Christians that lays it in the Salah or Allah Sheikh, they're not upon anything. And the Christians say about the Jews that lays Attilio who do our shake. Now this expression that they are lace, who are less shade, they are not on anything, as I mentioned earlier, or what this means is that there is no truth to what they do. They have no truth on which they stand. The Prophet sallallahu Urdu

Sinan was once asked about the soothsayers fortune tellers, and he said in the home lace will be shade. They're nothing. Meaning there is no truth to what they do no truth to what they say what they claim. Okay, so just like that the Jews say about the Christians and the Christians say about the Jews, that they are not on anything, meaning they're not upon the truth. Now, why do the Jews say this about the Christians because the Christians believe in or II sarta his sunnah, and the Jews do not believe in reciting his sunnah. And the Christians do not observe the law of the towboats. Right? There is that understanding that God's grace opposes his law. So after Jesus, there is only

grace, there is no law. So even though they believe in the First Testament, they believe in the Mosaic law, all of the laws that are detailed in the Torah, the Christians don't observe any of it. They don't follow it. Why? Because they say that we believe in God's grace, right, that once you believe in Jesus, that's it. That's all that is required. So because of this, the Jews say about the Christians that they're not upon anything, they're not upon the truth. But now why do the Christians say this about the Jews because the Jews don't believe in reciting his sin? Right? They don't believe in reciting his Salam. They rejected many prophets. So this is why they are, you know,

constantly cancelling each other. Now, the irony is that we're home yet to Luna al Kitab. They recite the same Scripture with Scripture de toda the First Testament or what is also called the Old Testament that Tanakh right? So both of them recite that scripture, any if you look at the Jewish Bible, that's the first testament, right? And the Christian Bible includes the First Testament and the second testament. And if you compare the size of the second testament to the First Testament, it's actually very small. Okay, the Gospels basically are very, you know, small compared to the First Testament, so they recite the same book. Okay, well, homea to Luenell kitab. They read the

same scripture, yet they cancel each other. Okay? Yet they say that the other party is not upon the truth. Now, well, homea toowoon al Kitab earlier in ir 111. You know where it says we'll call hula hula Ginetta 11. Kind of wouldn't own a surah Allah's pantile necessity. Tilka Imani your home? That is their Imani and Imani. I told you over there that the meaning is that this is their wishful thinking. Right. This is their assumption. This is not based

Don't any fact, but I had mentioned to you earlier that Imani also means reading. Remember the aisle where we learned that women home Omega tuna, la Yarlung Muna al Kitab Illa Amani, that among the Jews, those who are unlettered, who do not know the Book. Okay? And all they know is a mani. All they know is just to read the Scripture, they don't know the actual meaning of the Scripture, they can only read the words, they don't know what the scripture means. So Tilka Amani, you home in ir 111, you can also make this note over there for yourself. It also means that this is their reading, meaning this is their reading of the scripture that when the Christians read the Scripture, they

read it in light of God's grace only. Right? So every verse, every statement, they will interpret it as believe in Jesus and you're good. Okay. The Jews, on the other hand, they will also read the scripture in a certain way, a way that serves their objectives, you know, a certain a specific reading a biased reading, that proves to them that they're upon the truth and everyone else like the Christians are upon falsehood. So Tilka Imani human, now this is their biased reading. Okay. So here also it is said well, homie Athlone al Kitab. While they recite the book, they read the book. But the problem is they don't read the book correctly. They read it with, you know, certain glasses on,

you know, for example, if you are wearing glasses that are tinted pink, that's how you're going to see the world. If you're wearing glasses that are tinted blue, or green, that's how you're going to see the world. So just like that, our biases, our assumptions, they disrupt our understanding. So the problem is that these people, even though they're reading the same scripture, they're not reciting it correctly. Because if they're truly recited the book, if they truly read the book, and believed in it and followed it, they would not say such things, they would not be so divided, and the Jews would not deny or ESRD his sunnah. And the Christians would not reject the law of Allah.

Okay? Because, for example, when you read the gospel, even, there are very clear, you know, statements that show that following the law is important, or usarla. His Salam is portrayed as a Jewish man, meaning a man who observed the law of the Torah. So where did this idea come from? That you just believe in Jesus and you don't follow the law anymore? Okay. Or when you read the first testament, it's very evident that Allah subhanaw taala sends prophets and messengers, right, and recyling his Salam, and he his truth was evident. So if the Jews truly read the Scripture correctly, they wouldn't have any problem in believing and reciting his sunnah. So what is being mentioned over

here is that these people, even though they read the Scripture, they don't read it correctly. Even though they claim to follow the Scripture, they don't follow it correctly. And there's an apparition in of Sita bin Behat him in which we learned that a delegation of Christians came from the Jalon to meet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and remember that in Medina, the Jews also lived, right so when this delegation came to see the Prophet sallallahu, earning some they were in the masjid, some Jewish elders also came to meet them, you can imagine this to be like an interfaith, you know, dialogue, meeting, etc. So the Jews and the Christians began, you know, arguing with each

other, and a man from the Jews got up and criticize of Christians, saying that you are not upon the truth, you are not rightly guided, you are misguided, etc. And while doing that, you know, he denied Prophet resigned his Salam, he denied injeel and other things as well. Upon this, the Christians became angry and one of them got up and said, rather you are not upon the truth, we deny your Prophet and your book. So this idea was revealed about that incident. Okay. But this is general also it's not specific to that incident, because this is the reality today as well. Any the Christians don't believe the Jews to be rightly guided and the Jews don't believe the Christians to be rightly

guided. And even though you see them, you know, coming together, appearing as people of the Scripture, they're not really united. They don't really accept each other. So Allah subhanaw taala is exposing the truth over here. Allah subhanaw taala says Cavalli, Kolkata leadin Allah Allah Munna Miss La Kohli him thus do those who do not know say they speak the same as their words. And this is referring to the Mushrikeen the polytheists of maca, right? These are P

People who do not have revealed knowledge lie on the moon, they do not know they do not have alien, meaning they do not have knowledge of Scripture. These people say the same thing. They say the same thing about all about the Muslims. Okay? What do they say that these Muslims are Sabik these people have left their religion, so they're not upon the truth. So you see what's happening at the end of the day, the Jews, the Christians, and the polytheists are saying the exact same statement. Okay. And what is that statement? That they're wrong, they're wrong, others are wrong, others around me, they're busy canceling others, and they think that they are upon the truth. So what's the point of

saying this? What's the purpose of saying this? Any? What this is showing us is that despite being people of Scripture, what the Jews and Christians say, is no different than what the unlettered people see. So what is the difference then between the people of the book and those who are unlettered people who never had a book, people who never believed in Scripture? What's the difference between them? There is no difference between them. Because you see, the people of the book The Jews, they had the sense of superiority, and they would boast about it, they would look down on the Arabs, they would look down on the Muslims, that you know, we're better. And in the

previous verses, we have seen this, you know, where, when they're told to believe in what Allah has revealed, they say we only believe in what was given to us, we don't believe in what has been revealed to you. So there's that sense of pride that you know, we're better we know better. Well, if you are better, if you know better, how come what you're saying is exactly the same as what those who do not see. What's the difference between you and people who don't know when you are spewing out the same words. So what's the lesson over here today Ali Khan Alladhina, Allah Allah Munna Mithila Kohli him in what has been mentioned so far, what is the lesson? The lesson is that the way to

guidance is clear in the book, but people who read the Scripture with a bias will not see that way to guidance, their bias, their jealousy will hinder them from seeing the truth, which is obvious in the book. So then they become like those who do not have the book, because in spite of having the Scripture did don't benefit from the Scripture. So then they're the same as those who do not have the scripture for Allah who Yeah, como Bina whom Yan will pm at FEMA can fee of telephone. So Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ. What's the point of saying this, the point of saying this is that don't get caught up in this

conflict? Okay, don't get distracted by this conflict, there are things that people will say, Okay. And these statements are based on no knowledge whatsoever, or they are based on pure bias, okay. So, you cannot control the tongues of people, you cannot control what they claim what they comment what they assume you do not have any control over that. So you should be of those who truly read the book, who truly believe in the book, all of it, those who follow the book, and leave this conflict. For the Day of Judgment, Allah subhanaw taala will resolve that. And right now focus on learning the truth and believing in it and following it. For Allahu Jacobina homeo multi Amity FEMA can no fee of

telephone and you know, there is an important life lesson in this as well. That you know, there are people who are obsessed with cancelling others and proving themselves right or at least claiming themselves right. So don't try to compete with them. Don't because there is no end to this. No matter what you do, no matter what you say. They'll have something better to boast about. So focus on what is practical, what will draw you closer to Allah and you know, don't get caught up in petty conflicts. Then it is said woman Allah Mima. manera masajid Allah He au the karate has smooth wasafi hora beha and who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in

his mosques and strive toward their destruction? Any such people are greatly unjust. This is the worst form of injustice. Now you see the way that I have begins woman Alonso who is more unjust. I'm sure you have come across this expression in other places in the Quran as well. Have you heard this expression? Have you read this anywhere else woman of the lemma women

For example in total calf right yeah woman a level women look you Robbie it Robbie Some are older now. Right that who is more unjust and the person who is reminded of the verses of his Lord and then he turns away from them in the same Surah Surah Baqarah later on we will read a woman Allah min min Katha Masha had the thinner in the human Allah who is more unjust than the one who can seal the testimony that he has from Allah, we read woman Agulla Moomin. manif Tara Allah Allah He can even who is more unjust than the one who fabricates a lie about Allah. So then when you compare all of these verses, what's the answer? Who is more unjust? Is it the one who prevents people from entering

the massage or the one who concealed the testimony or the one who fabricates a lie against Allah? And he who is more unjust? So there are two ways of understanding this one is that all of the actions that are mentioned in such versus all of these actions, all of these crimes are the height of injustice. So they're all equal in terms of load. Okay, meaning that they are the worst form of loading. This doesn't mean that one is lesser than the other. No, all of them are worst forms of injustice, we know the greatest injustice is to associate partners with Allah. Right? So after that all of these actions are worst forms of injustice. Another understanding is that each of these

actions is the worst injustice in its specific category. So for example, there are, you know, many, if you look at history, even if you look at present conflicts in the world, you know, people's freedoms are taken away, people are evicted from their homes, or they're not allowed to, you know, move freely in their homes, and these injustice has happened. But from the category of taking people's freedoms away, the act of preventing people from entering the masjid is the worst. You know, one is that you don't allow people to go shopping. You don't allow people to enter a government building, you don't allow them to sit in the front of the bus. You don't allow them to

use a bathroom because of their race their skin color. You don't allow them to you know, visit a beach for example or enter a playground for example because of the color of their skin. That is wrong. But you know what is worse? What is worse is that you don't allow people to enter the masjid you prevent them from accessing the mosque, okay. Likewise, when it comes to fabricating lies, this is wrong all right. However, the worst form of fabricating lies is to fabricate a lie about Allah so you understand woman a lemma what does this mean? This means that a any this is really the height of injustice and all actions that are described like this man, Hola, mui. Ne all of them are equal in

terms of injustice. And the other is that each action is worst in its specific category. So here woman Allama member mana masajid Allah here and you've got a fee hospital. Now which mosques are these which massages are these? These are massages, it could be any Masjid that is built for the purpose of worshiping Allah and historically speaking, there are mainly three massagin Right. There is the Kaaba, Masjid Al haram. All right, which was built by Ibrahim Ali Sinha All right. Then there is Masjid Al Aqsa, all right, between muchness, which was built by Sulaiman early his Salam, all right. And then you have mastered the number V which was built by the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi

wasallam. And all of these masajid were built for what purpose the purpose of worshipping Allah subhanaw taala. So historically speaking, and he you see that especially the first two, all right Masjid Al haram, and Masjid Al Aqsa, there have been many times in history where people have been prevented from worshiping Allah in these mosques. Okay. So for example, when it comes to Masjid Al haram, the Kaaba, okay. We learn about how the Quraysh they prevented the Muslims from worshipping Allah over there. You know, the incident where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was praying he was making such though, and Abuja helenus friends, you know, they decided to, you know, put

something really horrible on his back when he was in such the, they basically got the intestines and you know, the inner parts of a camel that had been slaughtered and they put that on him SallAllahu early, he was alone. Just imagine that sticky, gooey, heavy, nasty, smelly stuff. All right, and it was weighing down on him and he was not able to get up and nobody was able to

Come in, you know, remove that from the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam because it was Abuja it was requested to be more as it was, you know the elders of Makkah who were doing this. So then somebody mentioned this to Father model de la noir and her and she came and she removed all of that. And she, you know, reprimanded those men, that How dare you do this to my father. So these kinds of actions, what were the Quraysh doing through them, they were preventing people from worshipping Allah in mustard or haram. And they did this directly and indirectly for a long time, until eventually the Muslims had to leave Makkah. And when they left Makkah, remember that no Muslim, whether he was a

local of Mecca or Medina or anywhere else, was allowed to come and worship Allah. At Masjid Al haram. We learn about sorry, the boomerang little de la Mora and who he was actually from Medina. All right, and sorry, live in Morogoro de la Horne who, after the prophets of Allah who already sort of migrated to Medina, Sodom Gomorrah had went to Makkah to perform Ermelo All right, and he was doing the love and when he was doing the love Abuja held saw him and Abuja hell came to him and said, Are you making the tawaf safely, even though you have given refuge to Mohamed Salah who already isn't even his companions? Any How dare you come here and think that you are safe when you

have given protection to Muhammad Sallallahu urges him and his companions and argument broke out, and basically a Bucha who threatened sods law de la Mourinho and told him that you're not welcome over here, you're not safe over here. So at that side, little de la Horne who responded that I will spoil your trade with a Shem that, okay, you do this to me, I will not let you travel safely. You know, through the desert, I am going to make sure that you and your caravans are in danger. So anyway, you see, a Muslim was prevented from worshiping Allah at Masjid Al haram. Again, what happened when Muslims were coming? The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had a dream. They all got

ready to go for Ramallah. They wanted to come to market for Umrah but the machine would not allow them to enter Makkah. And that is when the Treaty of her day BIA was made. So the Quraysh the people of Makkah, the polytheists. They prevented Muslims specifically from worshipping Allah from remembering Allah, in the masjid of Allah. Right in Masjid Al haram. Now you look at another Masjid Baytril MK this Masjid Al Aqsa, what happened? Historically speaking, think about it. So a minor lesson on built the masjid locks up, and that is known as the First Temple, right? But we learn about how, you know, when Jerusalem was attacked by Naboo cognizer. The second he destroyed the

Temple of Solomon, and this was in 586 BCE. And what happened as a result, the Jews were basically exiled from Jerusalem. And then eventually, after many years, they came back they were allowed to return and the Second Temple was built. All right. And in 70 ad, what happened Titus attacked and destroyed the city of Jerusalem and he also destroyed the Second Temple. Okay, and now what happened the Jews were not allowed to access vital muchness they were not able to worship Allah in Masjid Al Aqsa, and eventually, you know, we learned about the Romans when they began to rule. Basically, when the Christians took over many years later, the Christians prevented the Jews specifically from

living in Jerusalem from worshipping at bathe and macness. And they literally turned bathe and muck this into a dump. Literally, it was a place that was covered in garbage. And in 637 80, when the Muslims when the Rashidun caliphate, they conquered Jerusalem, that is the time when for the first time in 500 years, the Jews were able to live and worship inside of Jerusalem. So the Christians prevented the Jews from worshipping at the temple at Masjid Al Aqsa. And now again, you see what's happening, Massoud excise there, there are 1000s of worshippers who want to go and worship Allah over there. We want to go and worship Allah over there. But it's a struggle to go there. You need to

make that entire experience miserable. First of all told me Muslims are not allowed to visit beta mock this right most of the OXA in Jerusalem, they're not allowed to. And secondly, even the Muslims from countries who are able to travel to Jerusalem, their entire experience is made so miserable that they don't want to come back or they have to really think long and hard before they decide to visit again. I remember somebody telling me about how when they were visiting someone from Canada, they were pulled aside

aid. And they were basically made to wait for sitting there waiting for like a good five, six hours. Okay? No questioning, no interrogation, nothing, just sit there and wait until you're allowed entry. And eventually when they're allowed to enter before that there's a whole lot of interrogation. And then every piece of belonging that they had was inspected, literally the granola bars that they had each granola bar the packaging was cut open. Okay, to see what's really inside this packaging, is it really a granola bar? Or is it something else? So you know what happened, all of these granola bars that they had taken with them for their trip, you can imagine if the packaging is opened, what's

going to happen, it's going to go stale, it's going to go hard. So it's going to be useless in a few days. And that's exactly what happened. So you see how you can eat the people are prevented from accessing the masjid and those who live there, those who are peacefully worshipping over there, they're attacked. So this is the worst form of injustice, any opposing people, not allowing them the freedom to move around. That is worse, that is evil anyway. But what is the worst is that you don't let them access a mosque a place of worship. You don't let them pray there peacefully. So woman, a woman Woman, manera, masajid, Allahu AU, the Karateka, smooth wasafi corabi. And then they, this

person's drives towards their destruction as well. So there's two crimes, not allowing people to worship Allah there. And secondly, destroying the masjid literally demolishing it, or causing the mosque to become deserted, that people don't feel safe there so they don't come. And you see what's happening in China. So many massages are being destroyed, literally. And we don't have to think about, you know, non Muslim countries. Just think about a Muslim country even. You know, I remember growing up in Pakistan, there were times when on Fridays, people were not able to go to the masjid. I remember being in school and the teachers and the boys in class, basically saying that we're not

going to the masjid because it's not safe. There is a fear of another bomb blast because the Shias are attacking the Sunni mosques, the Sunnis are attacking the Shia mosques, especially a Jamar time you need the masjid is there but it's deserted, or literally, it's a place where people are being killed, literally people are being killed. So what do we learn from this we learned from this, that first of all, it is prohibited to prevent people from entering the masjid from worshiping Allah subhanaw taala from remembering Allah subhanaw taala in the masjid, this could be in the form of not allowing people to pray, they're not allowing people to recite the Quran over they're not allowing

people to learn or teach sacred knowledge over there, because all of this is part of the cut. So it is prohibited to prohibit people from entering the masjid for the Dhikr of Allah. Okay, we are not allowed to do that. But there are you know, situations where for greater good Guinea it is permissible to, you know, close the doors of the masjid like for example, if the doors of the masjid are closed at night, they're locked. Why? So that the masjid can be cleaned up or to make sure that, you know, no people come and just set up camp over there. Because if people come and start living inside of the masjid, and they start controlling certain areas, that again is going to cause

problems. So it is allowed to do that. Likewise, you know, these days, for instance, because of health and safety, if there's a cap on the number of people that can attend the masjid, this is not, you know, preventing people from coming to the masjid. That's not the goal over here, people are prevented from even entering the stores. I'm sure you've had to wait outside of a grocery store, because there's only a certain number of people allowed inside at a time. So just like that any if for health and safety reasons. There is a cap on the number of people that can be present in the masjid at a time this is not wrong. Okay, this is not wrong. We need to be a bit more persistent.

Okay, register on time. For example, make sure that you go there regularly. Even if you have to stay outside stand outside for some time. You should be eager to pray in the masjid. Okay. And then wasafi Colombia he strives toward their destruction, any they're striving to working hard and putting in great effort and time in destroying the Masjid. Now Haram is of two kinds there is haram a C and there is haram Marna we cut up his Sea is to physically destroy the Masjid. Okay, and this could be in the form of literally do

demolishing a masjid, closing the doors of the masjid, okay, attacking the worshipers over there, or, you know, defiling the masjid, making it so dirty on purpose so that people don't come over there. Right? This is what I see. And then there's what Amarna we called Amarna we is basically actions that turn people away from coming to the masjid. So then what happens? The Masjid becomes deserted, like, for example, when people come to the masjid, and this specially is with the youth or with women, the moment they come in, they're criticized, they're criticized on or the way that they're stared at the way that they're looked down on the way that they're yelled at. They feel that

they're not welcome. They're given the message that you're not welcome over here. And think about it right now. All of us are not able to go to the masjid because of you know, health and safety reasons. But imagine, there are people who have been experiencing this for a very long time, they never felt welcome in the masjid. Because of the color of their skin because of the language that they speak or because of you know, the way that they dress. Masjid is for everyone. Whether they are very knowledgeable, or they have no knowledge. You see, when the man came and began urinating in the masjid, can you imagine if someone comes and begins to urinate in the masjid? What would you do? How

would you respond me the Companions jumped at that person in order to stop him and the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said Leave him, let him finish.

And when he finished the Prophet salallahu already sent him asked for a you know, some water and he cleaned up that area. And he told that man, the Masjid is not built for this thing. All right, Masjid is not a place for urinating. Masjid is built for the Dhikr of Allah and for Salah and for the recitation of the Quran. This is what we're supposed to do in the masjid. So we need to think that are we indirectly turning people away from the Masjid? May Allah subhanaw taala forgive us. So what's our Rafi corabi Ha. The Masjid is supposed to be a place where people are welcome. And that will be when the masjid is kept clean. When Masjid is not being used for personal political

financial gains, I shall deliver on her says the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he commanded us to build the masjid, to build mosques and to keep the mosques clean, and also that the mosques should be to Tayyab meaning there should be fragrance over there you need there should be perfume, applied in different places in the masjid, so that when you enter any, it's welcoming. So we should be of those people who first of all go to the masjid for the purpose of worshiping Allah, not that we become of those people who stay away from the masjid of Allah the best places on Earth are which places the mosques right and then we should not be of those people who strive to you know, destroy

the masjid whatever Yeah, the villa or indirectly caused the masjid to be deserted because of our actions because of our behavior. And then we see that wasafi corabi her part of the reason why the masjid is empty is because women are not welcome. Here women are not welcome and let me explain this to you. When women are not welcome in the masjid. What does that mean? Their children will not come and a child that has not been to the masjid in their childhood. How do you expect that child to feel comfortable in the masjid as that child grows to be an adult, they will not want to come there because it's a strange place. So we know that at the time of the Prophet salallahu earning Salam

women attended the masjid the prophets of Allah who lives in a forbade men from prohibiting their women from entering the masjid from praying in the masjid or model de la Morin who did not like that his young wife should pray in the masjid, but he never forbade her, never forbade her, and she knew that he doesn't like it. And when she was asked about it, you know, she said, Then why doesn't he stop me? Because he knew that he did not have the power to stop her. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Let him narrow do not prohibit the female slaves of Allah from worshiping Allah in the masjid. So, you when women are prevented then of course gradually less and less, fewer and fewer

people will attend the Masjid. Even now, you know when there is a certain cap on how many people can attend the masjid at a time. So often there is no number that is designated for women. Only men are allowed. Women are not allowed. So this is unfair. Allah subhanaw taala says hola Iike makan Allahu ala Hulu ha ILAHA ifin it is not allowed for them to enter them except in fear. And like I mentioned to you this means two things. One is that instead of entering the masjid in order to destroy it in

In order to prevent people from worshipping Allah over there in order to cause the masjid to be deserted, instead of this, the only thing that is appropriate for people is that they enter the masjid in a state of fear of God. Any when you enter the masjid have fear of Allah. Shah who assure show humility before Allah. Don't enter the masjid with arrogance, as if it's the property of your father. You don't own the Masjid. This is not your personal property, that you turn people away. And you yell out orders at them and you tell them don't do this. And don't do that. And don't sit here and don't sit there. Honey, who are you to boss around? This place doesn't belong to you This place

belongs to Allah. So entered the masjid with the fear of Allah, not with arrogance, not with pride, and not with the intention of committing sin. And, you know, there's jokes that are very common among Muslims that you know, don't wear good shoes to the masjid because your shoes will get stolen. So this is said, if a person is fearful of Allah when they enter the masjid, why would they steal the shoes? Why would they steal the money from the donation box? Why would they, you know, mistreat someone. Mat cannula home, aka the Hulu ILAHA a Fein and secondly, this also means that this is what will eventually happen to such people who prevent others from accessing the masjid, who destroy the

masjid at a time will come when they will be fearful. When they will be in a state of fear they will experience defeat and humiliation in total and file it number 30 Allah subhanaw taala told us Ramallah whom Allah you are diba whom Allah who will whom you are so Duna al Masjid Al haram, why should Allah not punish them? When they prevent people from Masjidul? Haram? Ne when a person prevents others from accessing the masjid, then they're deserving of punishment from Allah. Whether he or the biller, may Allah protect us May Allah forgive us. And like I mentioned to you earlier, this happened with the people of Makkah, that on the day of the conquest, they were afraid inside of

Makkah, until the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam granted them security. And when he said that whoever enters must either haram than he is safe, whoever enters his house is safe. Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan etc is safe. Hula Ikoma, Kerala home and Hulu ILAHA even la homefree dunya Fuzion wala homefield aphylla, TRW, Arlene for them in this world is disgrace and they will have in the hereafter a great punishment. What does this mean? This means that people who destroy the masjid people who prevent people from accessing the masjid, they will for sure, experience disgrace, humiliation worthlessness in this world, and in the Hereafter, they will get a great punishment. So

you see the story of Abraham, Abraham when he attacked or he intended to attack the Kaaba in order to destroy it so that people don't go and worship over there. He wanted people to come to his temple, the church or whatever that he had built. What happened to Abraha and his army humiliated, the elephants were destroyed. The army was destroyed completely. And what awaits them in the hereafter is worse, much greater punishment we learned in total Bukhara Ira 217. That yes Aluna Karna shall haram up Thailand fee that they ask you about the sacred month fighting in the sacred month that is it okay, is it wrong? Okay, Thailand V. Kabhi. Tell them that fighting in the sacred

month is a serious crime. However, we'll Sedona and subida law preventing people from the way of Allah will go from behavior and disbelieving and Allah will Masjid Al haram and denying people or not allowing people to enter the sacred mosque where kraju early human who and expelling its inhabitants from it a clearer in the law, this is much more serious in the sight of Allah. So we see that not letting people enter the masjid is a serious offense. And whether a person does that directly or indirectly, both are wrong. We learn. You know, there were people who were sitting in the masjid and they were being loud and Ermelo de la Horne who you know, he called them and or

Moodle de la hora and who asked them where are you from? And they said that they were from ta if they were visitors and he said that if you were from here from Medina, I would have punished you being the only reason why I am letting you go this time is because you are a visitor. You are new here so you don't know the rules. And he reprimanded them severely for being loud in the masjid. Think about it. How often it happens that during Juma hutzpah, the Imam is given the hutzpah All right, men are sitting listening. Many women are also sitting and listening. But in the back there is a whole lot of women who are just talking because they're not praying. So they will just be

talking during salon

All women who are not praying are busy chatting. So this is wrong. You're not letting people pray in the masjid peacefully. Now we're destroying a masjid is a great crime. Building a masjid is very rewardable we learn in a hadith that whoever built a masjid, Allah will build the same for him in paradise. Any you build a masjid you contribute to the masjid and what will happen? Allah subhanaw taala will build a house for you in Jannah This is so beautiful. So make sure that you regularly spend of your wealth on building off misogyny and not just building maintenance of misogyny. And again, not just maintenance, you also need to spend on the different activities that can take place

in the masjid, so that the masajid do not become empty. You know, for example, these days for any Masjid to accommodate worshipers, you know, they have to make sure that the masjid is clean. There's thorough cleaning required, different places, different countries, different provinces, different cities, you know, they have their own rules. But you know, there's clear guidelines given you know, in order to make sure that the masjid is clean, so can you imagine how expensive it must be to keep the masajid clean. These days, especially the carpets need to be cleaned. All surfaces need to be wiped the doors, the washrooms everything, all of that adds to the expense. So make sure that you

spend from your money in this cause. Another thing is that you know, there's different activities that need to be held at the masjid you know, not just eat salah, but regular classes for example, right? A halacha for example, you know a class for us a class for teaching Quran recitation. So spend on that, and Allah will spend on you. Let us be of those people who populate the masjid not of those who abandon the masjid or cause it to be deserted.
