Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2021 J01-019D Tafsir Al-Baqarah 135-141

			next ayah Allah Subhana Allah says we'll call Kuno who then owner salata do they say be Jews or
Christians, so that you will be rightly guided any first of all, this is understood as that the Jews
and the Christians in their enmity to Muslims, they become united in spite of their division. And
together they say that you're only guided if you are Jewish or Christian. Whereas we learned earlier
that the Jews say the Christians are not upon anything the Christians say the Jews are not upon
anything, but in their enmity to Muslims, they come together, that you're only guided if you're Jews
or Christians, not if you're Muslim, okay. And this can also be understood as that each group claims
		

			meaning the Jews claim that if you are Jewish, then you will be rightly guided and the Christians
claim that if you are Christian, then you are rightly guided will call you Hakuna who then owner
Salah that Allah subhanaw taala says Cole, you say to them, and you don't be afraid of these people,
you should say Belle militar Ibrahima Hanifa. Rather, we follow the religion of Ibrahim inclining
toward truth, one Academy and Mushrikeen and he was not at the polytheists. And if you think about
it, the Jews and the Christians any there's elements of polytheism in both of these religions now,
right, because if you think about it, the Christians clearly you know, when they say animacy herb
		

			Nola, when they say that bizarrely Islam is a son of Allah, when the dedicated worship to Allah,
that is shirk, Ibrahima and As Salam did not do that, Ibrahima is Sam did not associate any partner
with Allah. When it comes to the Jews. You know, there have been many times that groups among them
associated partners with Allah. So for example, we don't include the Toba 30 that they say arose at
Uniblue law that arose as early as Salam is the son of Allah. All the Jews don't believe in that, or
did not believe in that, but there were some of them, who did have that belief. And then it's well
known in the Bible. Also, there is a lot of mention of this idol barle B A L, which many of the Jews
		

			began worshipping. So you say that be Jews or Christians and then you'll be guided that's not true.
Because in the different versions of Judaism and Christianity that have existed over time there has
been so much shit. And our way is that we follow the original truth the original religion, which is
the wave Ibrahim early his sinau Wolmar Academy no more should he keen, he was not of those who
associate partners with Allah. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent with the same
religion, the way of Ibrahim alayhis salam, we learned in SUID. Earlier Imran is 67. That Makana
Ibrahim whoo yah hoo, Dee and well, Ana serrania. Ibrahim, Melissa was not a Jew, nor was he a
		

			Christian. Well, I can kind of Hanifa Muslim or rather he was a Hanif, he was a Muslim, when I came
in and was really keen, and he was not of those who associate partners with Allah. And if you think
about it, you know this claim that corner wouldn't own a solid data do we use are Christians then
you will be rightly guided this is a strange claim that people make, because any the way that
Judaism has evolved, it's not for everybody. It is for a certain people exclusively. And
Christianity, there's so much confusion, there's so much assumption, there's way too much gray area.
So how can you be rightly guided if you follow something that is not even for everybody, and that is
		

			built upon confusion and assumption Kulu next if Allah subhanaw taala says You all should say
meaning you Muslims should declare this that Amma Nabila he we believe in Allah. Why am I on Zillow
Elena? Why am I on Zillow Illa Ibrahima Ismar. Isla what is harkaway are Kuba will us about? We
believe in Allah and we believe in what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to
Ibrahim and Ismar eel and his help and your Kob and the descendants, the prophets among the Bani
Israel, we believe in all of them. So, look at how the ayah begins Pulu he won't say any all
Muslims, you should say this, first of all, in response to what the Jews and the Christians say. So,
		

			for example, when they say Kuno, who then own the salah data do right be Jews and Christians then
you will be rightly guided or it is some kind of you know, debate that they begin whether it is a
friendly discussion or it turns hostile, whatever discussion it is, this is something that you
should see am a nebula humor on Zillow, Elaine, this should be your response and the word Kulu. You
all say this also teaches us that we should declare our belief openly. We should not hide it. We
should say it unapologetically that yes, I believe in Allah. Yes. I believe in whatever has been
revealed to the prophets of Allah who already have said no. I believe in whatever that was revealed
		

			to the prophets before whether it's Ibrahim or
		

			So is my reader listener is how present me or Kubernetes Sam or any of the profits from the bunny is
slightly warmer Ooh to Musa Issa I don't just believe in Revelation I also believe in the miracles
that Allah subhanaw taala gave to different prophets Musala Sam reciting sunnah Alma Otonabee, Yuna,
middle of behavior and whatever the prophets were given from there Lord, I believe in all of that
law no forget Cobain hadn't been home we do not differentiate between any of them we make no
distinction. because who are we to decide? If Allah subhanaw taala gave revelation to a prophet who
are we just say, I don't believe in that. Any This is rejecting Allah. When a hula hoop Muslim own
		

			and we are Muslims in submission to Allah to Allah alone. In sort of Hadith i a 25. Allah subhanaw
taala tells us about what the prophets were given a last Panthera tells us look at our cell now who
Solana will begin at certainly we sent Our Messengers with clear proofs clear evidences will Zella
Mara, whom will Kitab or will Meezan and we sat down with them, the Scripture and justice Lea
Coleman, NASA Bluecrest, so that people would establish justice. So the prophets were given, you
know, scripture, but also teachings other than the Scripture, just like the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, he was given the Quran, and as he said, When Mithila humara, who, and something
		

			like it, along with it, so this is why we believe in what he Mutlu, and also where he laid him at
loop, revelation that is recited, which is the Quran, and also revelation that is not recited, which
is the Sunnah of the prophets of Allah who already who was in them. So we believe in all of that,
for in Amman will be Miss Lima, and can be faculty that are next, if so, if they believe in the same
as you believe, and then they have been rightly guided, so whether it is the Jews or the Christians,
or the Arabs or anyone, if they believe in the way that the Sahaba believed, and the same goes for
us as well. Because over the years, any there has been many, you know, labels and divisions that we
		

			have come up with different labels that we have adopted, and that we strongly adhere to we are very
attached to Sunni, Shia, Salafi, you know, Sophie, you know, different labels that we have come up
with, if you go back to the time of the companions, did they carry these labels? Did they, when they
were asked What's your religion or, you know, when they had to identify themselves? What would they
say, we are, this must luck this month hub, this ideology, this was not their way. But we have
become so attached to these labels that we identify so strongly with them. And also other people, we
will reject them or support them or listen to them or not listen to them or hate them or love them
		

			simply because of the label that they carry. And if someone carries the labeled Salafi, or Sophie or
Hanafi or this or that you we have respect for them or we have zero respect for them.
		

			This is wrong, any it's understandable because of forfeit issues, you know, the way that you for
example, make will do or the way that you pray or when it comes to legal rulings related to
marriage, divorce, finances, et cetera. Yes, you know there are differences, but those differences
between different mega Hib doesn't mean that we develop such animosity towards one another. So we
should go back to the original way. Right. So for in ama no b myth, Lima and Toby, who is my mentor,
you all believe you all this is referring to the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, so we should always see what was the way of the companions. You know, some people think it's
		

			just put on. Some people say okay, Quran and Sunnah. And they stop over there and interpret the
Sunnah however you want No, you take Quran, you take sunnah and you look at the way of the
companions. How did even our bass explain this? How did Ibn Massoud explain this? How did even Erma
explain this? What did her model de la Horton who do what did Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu do? What did
oh who don't do Lahore on who to write the statements? The ways of the companions have a lot of
merit. They have a lot of importance, and we should learn that. And of course, there are differences
among them. You know, for example, when it comes to different matters, perhaps there were issues in
		

			which intermodal doula horn who he had a different opinion compared to that of Ibn or bestel de la
horn who these differences existed, but we should also see how they managed those differences,
right, how they still had respect for one another. So for innominate B myth Lima M and to be fucka
datadot We're in total
		

			For in my home Fisher Park, and if they turn away, then they are only in dissension. The problem is
with them not with you. The problem is not with the truth, the problem was with them, and they're
being stubborn, they are creating this division, they are choosing to be your enemies, forsake fika
home Allah, and Allah who will be sufficient for you against them. Well, who was Samuel Arnim, and
he is the hearing the noise. And this shows us that I know when you adopt your own identity, when
you are unapologetic about your beliefs, you are very clear about you know who you are, how you want
to live your life, then of course, there will be a clear difference between you and the rest of the
		

			people. And we experienced this, you know, for example, you go to school, you go to work, there are
certain things that people do, and you don't do them. Or when it's lower time, everybody's you know,
doing their thing, but you get up and pray. When it's negative time everybody's doing their thing,
but you get up and pray. There is a clear difference between you and them. Right? And when you look
different, when you are different. Yes, this does create a fear, because all of a sudden, you're
noticeable, all of a sudden, you're not eating what everybody else is eating, you're not seeing what
everybody else is saying. Right? And for many people being different, is very scary. They'd rather
		

			blend, right? They'd rather be quote unquote, normal like everyone else. It's very scary. And
sometimes what happens is that when you are different than some people will just pick on you for no
reason. All of a sudden you have an enemy. So yes, this fear is not irrational. Okay? This fear that
you have of being different, looking different, is not irrational. Okay? But take comfort in knowing
that Allah will protect you. You know, when Allah subhanaw taala says Passaic, fika home Allah, this
is an acknowledgment of your fears. Okay? You're not being a weak Muslim, if you are afraid, okay?
You're not being a weak Muslim. If you are afraid of looking different, being different, your fear
		

			is not irrational. Allah subhanaw taala acknowledges that fear but Allah subhanaw taala is also
comforting you for say, a fika, whom Allah, Allah shall suffice you against them, Allah will protect
you, just as He protected his messenger SallAllahu Urdu sentiment every occasion. And you think
about it, how many enemies the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam had, how many times people tried to
harm him, but Allah subhanaw taala protected him. So the way Allah protected him, he will also
protect you. You become Hanif just as Ibrahim alayhis salam, Ibrahim realista. Now what happened to
him his own father became his enemy, Allah protected him. So remember that for Allah who hide on
		

			Halophila Allah is the best protector and make dua for yourself when you feel afraid that you're
Allah protect me, right? Because in sort of balaclava, three we learn when we add to what color
Allah Allah He for who has boo, whoever puts his trust in Allah than ALLAH is sufficient for him.
Allah is enough for him, and shows us that don't be afraid of standing up for yourself. Don't be
afraid of openly declaring your identity you don't have to hide away. You don't have to become
invisible. Islam is not meant to be invisible. It's meant to be a very visible religion. So
sometimes when you go into a new place, you come across new people. Some people could be very
		

			hostile, and there are other people who can be very accommodating. Stand up for yourself, advocate
for yourself, you will find allies and you will also find enemies. And that's okay, that's life,
where you have allies and hamdulillah where you have enemies. Remember Allah, Allah is enough for
you. So seek His help seek His protection. next ayah Allah Subhana Allah says civil that Allah He
should say, civil that Allah color of Allah, woman So gentlemen, Allah has Sybilla and who is better
than Allah in colouring? When 100 Who are I'll be doing and we are worshipers of him. Now, this is
very beautiful symbol that Allah, what about symbol that Allah subhanaw? Taala means color of Allah?
		

			What about it? Any, it's very clear that the word symbolizes an object, but of what verb the verb is
not mentioned. Okay? In the Arabic language, when it is intended to encourage a person to do a
certain thing to do a certain action, the verb is omitted. Okay, you don't mention the verb, only
the object is mentioned. And this is not just an Arabic language actually, this is in other
languages as well. So for example, when you want to tell your children to be quiet, you don't say
Please be quiet. You say
		

			Quiet, you just use the word quiet, right? When you're extremely thirsty, and you want water
desperately, you don't say please may I have water, you just say water. Right? You don't waste your
time you don't mention the verb. So, here also similar to Allah, what is meant is adopt take on the
color of Allah. So, the verb adopt take on who LZ mu that verb has been omitted to really highlight
and bring importance to the subject over here which is Sybil Attila okay. And others have said that
what this means is so Bellona any we have adopted the color of Allah, okay. Now, as I mentioned to
earlier color over here is referring to the religion of Allah, why is the religion of Allah called a
		

			color? Why is it described as a color, because especially a color that is put on something, it is
very visible, right. So the religion of Allah is supposed to be visible, it is an identity, it is
not just something that you keep in your heart that you keep in your private life, it is going to be
manifested, when you adopt it, it is going to be manifested in every aspect of your life. Right?
without you even realizing in your own language, what begins to happen, you start seeing an
hamdulillah Alright, you go to non Muslim doctor, they ask you questions and like 100, Allah that
100 in that 109? Every answer, you say, Alhamdulillah. So this is very normal. And then the religion
		

			of Allah is called Sibylla. Remember that similar is a color that is put on something right, and a
color that is put on something is supposed to stay, it's not a light, it's not a phase, it's
supposed to be firm, it's supposed to be constant, right? So the same way, the religion of Allah is
supposed to become such a part of our lives, an identity of ours that is constant. Just as if a
cloth is dyed, with a certain color, then that color now is constant, right? So the religion of
Allah, take that on. And this is also very relevant in the context because you see the context,
there's verses that are directed to Jews and Christians, when you look at certain Jewish and
		

			Christian traditions, especially when it comes to Christianity, for example, when a person becomes a
Christian or a child is born, you know, they have the ritual of baptism, where they baptize a person
a child by putting them in, quote, unquote, holy water, right? In Judaism, there's the tradition of
Bar Mitzvah, where a child reaches a certain age, then they officially take that child on or declare
that child as a Jewish child, right. So, they have a celebration for that. Now, these rituals,
whether it is baptism or Bar Mitzvah or other rituals, any they symbolize religiosity, right, but
this is not where religion ends, that once upon a time, you were taken to a religious figure, they
		

			poured some water on you, they dunked you in some holy water and now you're a religious person, or
when you turn to certain age, your family held a certain feast, there were you know, certain rituals
and now, you are a religious person, no, that is not real religiosity. Real religiosity is different
it is lived every day, that it is similar to law that you take on and you show your submission to
Allah every single day of your life in every aspect of your life. Now, if you think about it as
Muslims also, you know, we have done certain things, like for example, a child will start reciting
the Quran, they're taught how to recite the Quran, by the time they are eight 910 whatever age, they
		

			will complete the recitation of the Quran, we will have a grand Amin party for them, right where
everyone is invited, the child recites a few verses of the Quran. And then you know, we think that
we've done our part and the child never recites the Quran again, they have no connection with the
Quran. They have no idea what the Quran is actually saying. And we think we have become very
religious by having an Amin party. I mean, I'm not saying don't celebrate such milestones, yes, we
should celebrate. But these celebrations don't mean that you know, you are become religious. The
real thing is similar to Allah that is reflected that is manifested, no matter where you are, no
		

			matter where you go, no matter what you're doing. This religion of ours is supposed to be part of
our beliefs, right? Our actions, our language, it's supposed to be reflected in the way that we
dress, the way that we marry the way that we live. The way that we earn our
		

			livelihood. You know, this is how we're supposed to live simple that Allah and woman accent Amina
Allah has Sybilla who is better than Allah in civil, any be proud of this be confident about this
religion, be happy be unapologetic about it. Don't have fear of what people will say. Because this
is the truth. In truth UNICEF 35 Allah subhanaw taala says a familia de l happy Haku and your Tabara
a Malaya de la Yoda. Any who is worthy of being followed the one who guides to the truth or the one
who does not guide in verse 36 of Surah Tunis Allah says were made to be Rocketboom, Ilana, that
majority of the people only follow assumption. So you are a Punto heat not upon assumption, right?
		

			They are on ship, they're on assumption you are on Tahara they are on the Jassa any, there is such a
huge difference between civil Hautala the religion that Allah has given and the ways of life that
people have invented. So take on the religion of Allah, be happy about it, be confident about it.
And it should be manifested in every aspect of your life. You know, sometimes what happens is that
when it comes to our you know, prayer, charity, okay, we will do things Islamically when it comes to
weddings, oh my God, when it comes to weddings, what happens? Any so much compromise, so much
compromise? I'm amazed. Any think about it a basic thing that you know, when it comes to a Muslim
		

			woman and her hijab, hijab is supposed to be worn on the wedding day as well. Alright. And just
because you are adorned as a bride doesn't mean that now there is no hijab rules for you. And those
same hijab rules people should respect as well. For we don't respect that, you know, we think that
if there's a bride, you can just take her picture, and you can show it to different people and you
can share it around the world. What about consent? What about, you know, that respect for her hijab?
That's not correct. Everywhere else, we will adopt hijab, but when it comes to the bride, we say, no
hijab for you. That's not fair. Civil at Allah, you don't switch it off on the day of your wedding.
		

			And you don't tell a woman to switch off her hijab on the day of her wedding. I'm not saying that
dressing up is wrong. No, what I'm saying is that when you have dressed up, you still have to wear
hijab, whether you're the bride or you are someone who was attending the wedding, and you have to
respect the rules of hijab, for yourself and also for other women. So don't take pictures of people
without their permission and then show them around. That's not correct. So similar to Allah take
that on fully. Next, I call out to her Juna villa, he will who are buena or Bukom. say do you argue
with us about Allah? Well, He is our Lord and your Lord. Meaning Why do you argue with us about
		

			Allah? You see, how is it that the Jews and the Christians argue about Allah with the Muslims,
basically, when they claim that they have a greater right to Allah, because they are Jews or because
they are Christians, that they are closer to Allah, because of who they are closer to Allah. So in
total Merida 18, we learn they say national Abernathy, Allahu Akbar, we are the children of Allah,
we are His beloved once. Okay. So because of this, they think that they're better than the rest of
humanity. And so, if any profit is to come, then that profit has to be for among them, not an Arab,
not from a different race. So it is said, Well, who are born out of Bukom he is our Rob and your
		

			Rob, He created us and He also created you. Why do you claim that you have a greater right? You're
human, we're human, fine. You're from a different race. We're from a different race. But all of us
are equal in terms of humanity. What makes a person closer to Allah or better than the rest of the
people? Is their deeds? Well, Anna Arma Luna, welcome Armando. Come for us are our deeds and for you
where your deeds right? You are responsible for what you're doing. You're not better just because
you are from a certain race. You're not better just because your ancestors were prophets. What are
you doing your actions define you? Well enough aren't maluna Welcome are Malecon for us are our
		

			deeds for you or your deeds when a hula homonuclear soon and we are sincere to him? Unlike you,
because the Jews and the Christians they were not sincere in their worship to Allah in the sense
that they associated partners with Allah. Alright, the Christians associate reciting his sunnah the
Jews also I mentioned to you how there was idolatry. So when I heard omake song, what the Prophet
sallallahu already said in his talk from day one
		

			Is that we worship Allah alone. So much so that if people, you know, they went a little too far in
their respect for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he drew a clear boundary. He taught them
very clearly what is appropriate what is not appropriate. There is a narration in which we learned
that someone came and made such that the prophets of Allah who are It isn't a matter of respect and
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam rejected that he did not accept it. Someone said to him,
whatever you want Allah wills alright, and the prophets Allah who already sent him again he rejected
that that No, not even in statement should you put me equal to Allah. So when I hear the whole
		

			muchness on, what makes a slam unique is that we worship Allah alone. Next I am Taku Luna Ibrahima
is Marilla. Is healthcare COBOL is better can you who didn't own a SATA? Or do you say that Ibrahim
is married is how can air Copan the descendants or user Christians? Do they carry all these labels
and titles? Did Judaism even exist at that time? Did Christianity even exist at that time? No, it
didn't. Well, Anthem Ireland will amila say are you more knowing or is Allah? When Allah has said
that there were Muslims? When Allah has told us that they submitted to Allah, they worshiped Allah
alone? Why are you fabricating things? In surah? Areum one is 65 we learn? Yeah, hello Kitabi, Lima
		

			200, UniFi Ibrahim, or people of the Scripture Why do you argue in regard to Ibrahim? Well, Matt on
Zillow to tell lotto ng Lu LM and Bardi whereas the fact is that the Roth and Injeel were only
revealed after him way after him. And when it comes to Judaism, it's related to tau dot Christianity
related to Injeel. So these things came about way after Ibrahim ricin it was Woman Oh will Mr.
Merriman ketema shahada Turner in the human Allah, who is more unjust than one who conceal the
testimony he has from Allah. Which testimony is this? Which evidence is this? When it comes to
testimony? This is the testimony that Allah is One. We see Ibrahim Ali Salam, he said, a slim to
		

			little bill Alameen. I've submitted to the Lord of the Worlds he recognized that there is only one
Lord, one Creator, the children of Iacobelli. Sana, they also describe the last panel Tara as illa
huwa Hida one God. So this is a testimony that is well known. But there are people who will pretend
like it does not exist. So they will associate recyling Salam, as a partner to Allah by declaring
that he is a child of God.
		

			So this is injustice. This is injustice. And when it comes to shahada, remember, shahada also means
evidence. So if we take this as evidence, it means the evidence in the Scripture, whether it's the
toad or the Injeel, which talks about the coming of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and his
description. So they have concealed this testimony and they have concealed this evidence. So people
who do that, who try to hide the truth or pretend like the truth does not exist, then such people
are committing a great injustice when Mullah who be lawful in our midterm alone, and Allah is not
unaware of what you all do.
		

			So, there have been attempts to hide the truth to pretend like the truth does not exist, that you
know, the message of the Bible is different from the message of the Quran. So, Allah subhanaw taala
knows all of this injustice Tilka omoton adhaalath This is repeated again. That that is a nation
that has passed on Lahoma Casa La comarca septum it will have the consequence of what it earned. And
you will have what you earned will add to Aluna McCann, we are Malone, and you will not be asked
about what they used to do. What are we going to be asked about our deeds? So what's the main thing
that we learned from all of these verses? That we need to focus on our actions? Right? Our Iman
		

			Islam, submission to Allah this is not just you know, related to certain rituals, but it's an entire
way of life that is supposed to be constant that is supposed to be manifest, just as the prophets
before Ibrahim Ali Salam is married and is Salam is how Carly's I'm just as they lived. Right? And
this idea is repeated again. And it's a warning that your salvation depends not on where you were
born or what blood you have. But your salvation depends on what you believe in and what you do. So
if you want to succeed, then do as the righteous did before you purify your faith and beautify your
actions, as Allah subhanaw taala tells us and sort of it and Ron is 67 Maracana, Ibrahim whoo yah
		

			hoo diggin well. Anna serrania One Act
		

			Can Hanifa Muslim a woman can I mean animal shaking, Ibrahim Roseanne was not a Jew. Nor was he a
Christian. He was a Hanif. He was someone who was dedicated to Allah, Muslims, someone who had
surrendered to Allah. He was not of those who associate partners with Allah. So we also need to
think about ourselves, that sometimes we think that if we carry a certain label, I'm a Muslim, that
is sufficient. We need to see what kind of a relationship do I have with my Lord? How heavily do I
surrender to Allah? And do I surrender to Allah? Just in some matters? is Islam like a family thing?
You know, a community thing? This is a community that I belong to, or is it a personal thing? And if
		

			it's a personal thing, how strongly attached Am I to Allah? Because you see, there's some words that
are repeated over here, locally soon, Muslim moon, right. So we need to adopt if last sincerity, we
need to surrender to Allah azza wa jal and in sha Allah in the next Jaws, just number two, we will
learn about many commands, commands related to not only salah but also fasting and eating and Hajj,
so many rituals are mentioned. And before those commands are mentioned, we are taught the lesson of
submission to Allah. May Allah subhanaw taala allow us all enable us all to surrender to him
wholeheartedly. I mean, inshallah we'll conclude over here botica Lo Fi comm I want to congratulate
		

			all of you Masha Allah you did it and hamdulillah and I pray that Allah subhanaw taala gives us the
ability to continue with this in the best way. Inshallah Baraka low fecal Subhanak Allahumma behenic
