Taleem al Quran 2021 J02-020E Tafsir Al-Baqarah 144-152

Next if Allah subhanaw taala says, but the not article Lupo logic of his summer, we have certainly seen the turning of your face toward the sky. And he the Prophet salallahu already he was setting him. When he first migrated to Medina, he would, you know, look up to the sky in anticipation in hope that okay, now Gibreel will come. You know, when you're hoping for something when you're making dua, you look up, you look up, because the world around you, right? When you look down, when you look around you, it's very limited. You don't see as much vastness when you look up to the sky, all you see is open space. And you know that Allah subhanaw taala is above you. So the Prophet salallahu

Alaihe Salam would look up toward the sky, because, you know, he would be hoping for wishing for the command related to the change of Qibla. So, this shows us that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam really wanted to face the Kaaba in prayer. That's what he wanted to do. But he did not do it until he was commanded. And this is the reason why we are supposed to follow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He SallAllahu earlier said it would only do what he was commanded. And this shows us what real submission is, that even when you want to do something, you will not do it until and unless Allah Subhana Allah has commanded it. So codnor are the caliber which he got his summer. And

I remember that when you're making Dora. Yes, you can look up to the sky. All right, there's nothing wrong in that. But when you're praying Salah Okay, in Salah, we're not allowed to look up we can only look down in a place of such stuff. And in a hadith and Muslim we learn the Prophet sallallahu recently gave a stern warning. He said people must stop raising their eyes to the sky while praying in salah or their sight will be taken away. Okay, or lots of fun, not absorb any their vision will be taken away. So he gave a stern warning. So in Salah you look down, you don't look right or left or up to the sky. But outside of Salah when you're making Torah there is nothing wrong. You look up

to the sky, and you're talking to Allah, you're calling upon the law. You're pouring your heart out to Allah. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi CINEMALAYA did that. So called Narada Calabogie Kofi sama. It is said Falun Hua Lian Nica Kybella tanto Baha and we will surely turn you to a Qibla with which you will be pleased. And he now it's very, very clear that the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam wanted to face the Kaaba in prayer, but he did not do it until he was commanded So here he's been given news that yes, very soon it's going to happen you will be commanded to face the Kaaba in prayer and the command is given right away it is said for

Wally wedge Hakka chakra al Masjid Al haram So turn your face to word on mustard Hello. Any the Kaaba that is now the Qibla and that is the direction that you will face when you are praying. Right and this means that no matter where we are, okay whether we are praying at home or at work, or you know we are in the east or the west, wherever we are, we are going to face must either haram in Salam wa Hazlemere condom for one Lu Hukam chakra that is emphasized that wherever you are, turn your faces toward it in prayer meeting this is not just in Makkah but also outside of Makkah. Okay, wherever you are, we will face that direction. We're in the medina Otto Kitab la Arla Munna Anna who

will help come it will be him. Well, what about all the criticism now from people, almost pantherella says, Indeed those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. They know that this is the truth from their Lord, but they're not accepting it. They're not going to agree with it. They're not going to approve of it, but you're not going to worry about them. Because whatever they say, is not worth anything, while Allah who will often in our miam alone, and Allah is not unaware of what they do. Allah is aware of their crimes of hiding the truth changing the truth pretending like it doesn't exist. Almost panel Tara knows that so you do not fear

them Do not fear their criticism Do not fear their rejection or their opposition to you. There's many important lessons in this if first of all, we see the obligation of facing the Qibla in prayer no matter where we are. In a hadith in Behati. We learned that our blood normal reported that while the people were Koba performing the fajr prayer, okay, and what were they doing they were facing by to knock this. What happened? A person came to them saying that last night

While he was revealed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he has been ordered to face the Kaaba, therefore you should also face the Kaaba. He says this to them while they are praying. Okay, so what did they do while they were praying? They turned their faces toward the Kaaba. And he'd been literally took 180 degree turn. Okay, they did that insula. Why? Because they learned about the command. So they obeyed immediately. They didn't even wait to finish the prayer. And then ask him, and then you know, question him interrogate him. Nothing, they did not wait during salah they changed the Qibla okay. And this is something very important. You know, sometimes you're

praying and somebody walks in and they're like, you're facing the wrong direction. So if they turn you toward the right direction, turn, don't be stubborn over there. Don't break your Salah, your shoulder should be gentle as the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam told us to be in Salah. Secondly, we learned in this ayah that there are people whom you will never be able to convince. Okay, so people whom you are never able to convince, don't worry about them. People who know the truth yet they don't accept it. Don't waste your time on them. And that is made more clear in the next idea. What are in a title Lavina O'Toole Kitabi Cooley at Mad Toby rakibul attack and if you brought to those

who were given the Scripture every sign every evidence, they would not follow your Qibla any they're not going to listen to you. Well, not until the tibia and fibula to home. Nor will you be a follower of their Qibla. Any just because they don't listen to you. It doesn't mean that you have to become like them. No, you don't have to become like them, because you are upon the truth. So you're not going to leave the truth to please them. Don't come under pressure. Will my balloon be Tabby and clip letter barreled? And why should you follow them anyway because nor would they be followers of one another Scribbler. Like I mentioned to you earlier, the Jews face one Qibla the Christians face

another Qibla. Any first of all, if you want to follow them, who is it that you're going to follow the Jews or the Christians? Secondly, when they're not united, then why should you be afraid of their criticism into the unis Ayah 96 and 97 Allah's pantherella tells us that in the Latina Hakata I lay him kill him with a big lie you me known that, indeed those people on whom the word of your Lord has come into effect, any on whom the punishment is due because of their denial. They're never going to believe well, oh, Jia, Tang, Kulu 18. Even if every ayat comes to them, in every evidence, every verse, every proof is given to them. They're not going to listen, they're not going to believe

so don't waste your time trying to convince them. And we also learn in total Orloff, I have 146. That's a Saudi Foreign at Alinea to Cameroon to fill out the belated help that I will turn away from my verses or signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right. So people who are arrogant, they are turned away from the verses from the signs of Allah. What Ianto could I Attila you mean Obeah and if they see every hire every evidence, they will not believe it. What era Oh Sabina Bluestein Dieter, Husa. Vela if they see the straight path they're not going to follow it. What era Oh submit Allah Hi, you yet the Hindu who said be life they see the way of deviation. That is what

they will adopt any quickly they will leap towards wrong things, but the right things, they're never going to do them. So such people you don't have to follow them. You should not follow them and you should not try to appease them. Right. Now when it comes to the Jews. I mentioned to you earlier that they face vital practice in prayer, whether they are in Jerusalem or outside of Jerusalem. And this is something that they've been doing since Sulaiman Artie salaam built the temple he built basically mock this now with regard to the Christians, the Christians don't even consider by thermometers to be the Holy Land. Okay, in the sense that for them based on mock this, the Temple

Mount, okay, where must you OXA is an Masjid Ghibli is that entire area which is called the Haram The Christians don't even consider to be holy, actually, the Jews consider to be holy, in fact, to Holy to even enter, okay, to Holy to even enter. That's their belief that they're not supposed to even be there. It's too holy for them. Okay. And the Christians don't have any regard for it, which is why when the Muslims conquered Jerusalem, and at the time, it was Christians who ruled over there any or model de la Horne who had the entire area of the Hudson cleaned up because it was turned into what

dump. They literally treated it as a garbage dump. So remodel de la Horne who had that area cleaned up. Anyway different massages were built there over time. The Christians actually for them the holiest site is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and different denominations in fact have different holy sites. But the point is that the Jews yes for them beaten mocked as his holy for the Christians. It is not okay, it's not. So when these people themselves are divided. How dare they criticize you and why should you bother? You know, worry about their criticism don't fall victim to their criticism. Mama and Toby tarbiyah in Qiblah Tahoma baboon betta Baron crib letter BB. Well any

Tabata Hua home embody manager, a criminal or alien in the liminal burly mean. And if you were to follow their desires, after what has come to you of knowledge, notice what they do what they say what they follow Allah's parent articles that their desires, any it's not founded on, or ill. It's not founded on facts, it's not founded on knowledge, what they do is based on their desires, so you're not going to give preference to the desires of some people over the knowledge that Allah subhanaw taala has given you. And if you make that mistake, then you would be doing something really, really wrong. You will be if the lolly mean any the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has been

warned about this and the message is actually for us. And this shows us teaches a very important lesson that when Allah subhanaw taala has given you knowledge, okay, you have knowledge of the Quran, then that is what you hold on to that is what you follow, not the desires of people. You know, one is Hauer

and the other is Huda Hooda. Guidance, knowledge that Allah subhanaw taala has given what is however, the opposite of that the desires of people and when it comes to the desires of people, they keep changing, right, like for example, when you see fashion trends, they keep changing, you know, different things that people give a lot of importance to these things keep changing over time, different cultures, different eras, different places, you know, trends change, but when it comes to the guidance that Allah subhanaw taala has given that does not change fact remains fact. Right? So be very, very careful. Do not follow the desires of people after Allah subhanaw taala has blessed

you with knowledge. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam warned us he said, What I fear for you most is Shaha Tila Yi does desires which are deviating any desires that lead people astray. Fi butuh Nicoma Fujichrome when will they lateral Hawa, lust or desire whether that is in your stomachs or in your private parts and misleading desires, and sometimes there's that desire for certain foods or the desire of the private part. These are very dangerous things. So be careful. And then there are misleading desires that people have, which if you pursue you would not be guided. So be careful Be alert, be awake, then it is said AlLadhina attina Whom will keytab next Daya those people to whom we

have given the Scripture he already full know who come I already fauna Obinna home, they know him or they know it the Quran as they know their own sons. Any the People of the Book knew about the Kaaba being the Qibla. Right? It's well known that Ibrahim alayhis salam, he built the Kaaba in Mecca, and people would go there for pilgrimage. And this was before so the man already has Sinha

we learn in the Bible in the book of Genesis, very early on Hajj of the angel addresses her when she's crying, that do not be afraid. Right. Do not be afraid God has heard the boy crying as he lies there, lift the boy up and take him by the hand for God will make him into a great nation. You know there is good news that hagit is given with regard to her son is married, and the nation that will come from him and the profit that will come from him. In the from the very beginning there are clear indications, but those who don't want to see the truth will not see it, even if it's right in front of them. So a Latina Latina who will be topiary, foreigner will come I already point out now, they

recognize the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam they recognize the Quran as well as they recognize their own children their own sons. You know, Abdullah bin Salam, rue de la Mourinho and he was previously a Jew. He said that I recognize the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam better than I recognize my own sons. Any I recognize

seem to be the messenger of Allah better than I recognize my sons to be my own sons. Because he said that, you know, when it comes to your children? Well, you don't know for sure. Right? I mean, there is a possibility that that child whom you think is your child is not actually your child. Right? But when it comes to the messenger of allah sallallahu hernias, Allah, and he, I recognize him better. So there are people who recognize the truth yet they don't accept it. So you think you're arguing with them is going to satisfy them? Don't waste your time on such people.

Were in the federal coming home leg to moon and headcover home era moon but indeed a party of them conceal the truth while they know it. And he they know the truth, yet they conceal it. So what can you do about such people? I'll help them Arabic filata Conan nominalism Tareen The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters. Now, you see been said that do not be off Moon Tareen. And I mentioned to you that media is a doubt. Basically, media is deep doubt. You know, it's not just any doubt, it's deep doubt and deep doubt about something causes you to waver to hesitate. And when you're unsure, then it means that there's absence of knowledge, there is absence of facts. And

that means that there will be arguments, right? So, video is a doubt that is deep, that causes a person to waver and also leads to argumentation. So phala Tikona nominalism 13 Don't be of those people who don't, you know, stay away from them. And don't be like them. When you learn about the truth, then follow it, observe it. And don't waste your time arguing with people who have doubts, while equally with you, hurtin who am only her next idea.

Allah subhanaw taala says, while he couldn't live with her tone, who are more Leha for each people is a direction toward which it faces, meaning each nation has a Qibla that they face, I mentioned to you earlier, the Jews face vital Noctus and the Christians, different denominations, you know, have different sacred sites. So each people have a direction toward which they face. And if you take it literally each person has a goal, a center of life that they are aspiring towards. It could be religious or worldly or both. You know, there are people who are, you know, from the moment they wake up until the moment they fall asleep, they face something, they're going to work a certain

goal, right? For some people is, you know, for example, women, it's their children, you wake up, and you take care of your children, get them ready for school, send them to school. At night, the last thing you do is you go check on your kids making sure that they are sleeping well. And then you go to bed. For other people. It's their social media. First thing they do when they wake up, swipe, Open Social Media check one app than another than another than another last thing they do before they sleep again, social media, we need to see what is my obsession? What is it that keeps me occupied? What is it that keeps me busy throughout the day? What's on my mind? What are my actions

geared towards? What am I living for? Right? So what equally would you have done? Who am I? Well, Leha and if you think about it, you know for different groups for different people. It's different things. What should be your goal, Allah subhanaw taala gives us a goal first the vehicle hierarchy. So race to all that is good. And in the center of your life, your ultimate goal should be to do good things. Good deeds. Why erase Why rush because you don't know what may come you know, in the future that will prevent you from doing good things. Right now you have the ability tomorrow, you won't have the ability you don't know, you know, the Prophet sallallahu already said and told us make use

of five things before five, right your health before sickness, your free time before you're occupied the youth before old age, you know, think about it up until three or four years ago going for Umrah for many people meant filling out a simple application. Right, buying your tickets, making a few bookings, and go for umbra. Now, subhanAllah any going for Umrah for a lot of people is impossible, very, very difficult. It's something that many people are not even thinking about. So first of all, Call Hierarchy Do not delay in doing good things. Do them immediately and

race, any collect more and more good deeds do more and more good deeds Don't be saddled with what you have accomplished so far increase in doing good deeds and any good deed that you do. What is it? It is a meeting with Allah. Okay? In surah Toluca, half the last ayah Allah subhanaw taala tells us that from incana Yo juluca or beef and Yama Lomond and saleha whoever wants to meet his lord should do righteous deeds, meeting Allah subhanaw taala Yes, that is in the hereafter but it is also in this world. Meaning anytime you do a good deed you are meeting Allah. So your ultimate goal should be to spend more and more time with Allah. When you make vicar you're spending time with Allah. When

you're praying Salah when you're reciting the Quran when you're giving sadaqa when you're giving a good piece of advice when you're listening to someone when you are helping someone, any anything you do for the sake of Allah in a way that Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with that is a good deed and that is a meeting with Allah. So when he couldn't be with her to whom will lead her festival, Herat excel in good deeds rush in doing good things ain't no matter Kunal yet. Tinicum Allahu Jamia, wherever you may be Allah will bring you forth for judgment altogether. You don't know when your life will come to an end. And the main thing is, no matter where you are, you should be busy and

doing good things. And Allah will bring you all together in Allah, Allah cliche and Kadir indeed Allah is over all things competent. So in this as a reminder that life is limited. The time you have is limited. So don't waste it in trying to appease people spend it in gathering good deeds in meeting of law. Alright, so that when you return to your Lord, your Lord is pleased with you. So check yourself what are you always turning towards what's on your mind? What is your goal? Well, I mean, Hazel Hodge that next I mean high school college stuff for well, Liwa Chaka Shatrughan, Masjid Al haram. So from wherever you go out, turn your face towards al Masjid Al haram. What in Hulan

hakomi robic and indeed it is the truth from your Lord what is the truth facing Masjidul haram? That is the truth when Allah Who beloved and unmatched Dharma lune and Allah is not unaware of what you do, so don't be lazy with regard to this. Okay? You know some people have a very casual attitude time to pray okay, just pray in any direction no check the Qibla and and hamdulillah these days it's not difficult. You know, you can have different apps on your phone. Use the compass, so take this matter seriously. Okay, well, Mala who will often and on my time alone this is like a warning. Then it is said woman Hazel Hodge the for one lever Joker Shatrughan Masjidul haram and from wherever you

go out turn your face towards muscular haram Well Hi. So my content for Lulu welcome chakra and wherever you believers may be turn your faces toward it. Ye Li Li Hakuna li Nasir Aleikum, her jetten inland leadin Allah Allah Moo Minho, turn your faces toward the qibla in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those who commit wrong among them Filatov showhome walk shoni so fear them not but fear me. Now, you can see over here that the command to face the Qibla is being repeated over and over again. At least three times it's been given over here. First we see an Iowan 49 Lemon high to college who Chaparral Masjidul haram. Then an Iowan 50

again woman Hazel College, therefore Hollywood Chaka Chaka, Al Masjid Al haram, and for the third time in Iowan 50 were Hazel McClinton formula, would you help them chakra, right? So three times the command has been given? Why? First of all, this is repetition for the sake of emphasis. And this teaches us that, you know, especially when there's a lot of criticism and there's a lot of noise, you have to make sure you're hearing the right messages. Okay, again and again. Meaning when there are people who are constantly criticizing, okay, instead of listening to them, listen to the voices that are supportive. Listen to the messages that are positive. Okay, because what you listen to it

has an impact on you. Okay, which shows us that when you know that someone is being criticized heavily, and that criticism is unfounded, make sure that you also you will be that positive voice, you'll be that reassurance you'll be that source of comfort, okay, because Allah subhanaw taala then gives this command repeatedly three times over here. Why? Because the people of the Book, the hypocrites the mushy kina

All of them were criticizing. So the Muslims needed that emphasis, okay, they needed that repetition of a positive message that yes, you have to do this. Yes, you have to do this. Yes, you have to do this. Because what you say to yourself and what you hear from others has an impact on you. So the reason for repetition is emphasis. Okay. Another reason for this emphasis is that the first time that the command is given an Iowan 49 Women hated College, the former Luigia chaperone, Masjid Al haram. This is for those who are in Makkah, in the vicinity of the Kaaba. Okay, the second command in Iowa 50 Women hate to college, the formerly logical shuttle Masjidul haram. This is for those who

are in other cities in other places. And the third time that it's given what Haytham Clinton for when would you have come chatra this is for those who are traveling. Okay, so the three commands are not just for repetition, but for clarification, that this command is for those who are in Makkah, near the Kaaba. Secondly, for those who are in other places, okay. And thirdly, this command is also for those who are traveling, unless when you're traveling, and you're not able to face the Qibla. It's beyond your ability, for example, you are in the plane. And then in that case, it's a different situation. Other than my say that the first command is to establish the rule of the Qibla. The

second is to clarify that the Qibla is to be faced in all places, and at all times. And the third command is to make clear that never leave the Qibla so that others may not have any argument against you. So the Arabs initially they criticize that if you follow Ibrahim, how come you don't follow his Qibla the house that he built, how can we face by doing this? And then the Jews would criticize? Or they would say that, you know, yes, he's on the same Qibla as us, meaning he faces Beighton Amok this, perhaps he will also follow our religion. So part of the reason why the Qibla was changed was to put an end to all of these arguments. Okay, that Li Li Hakuna Lin ser la couverture, be

consistent face the Karva no matter what the people say, so that people don't have any argument against you, but realize that there will always be some people who will criticize you, and who are those people are letting Allah moment home, those who have done wrong among them. So those people you're not going to hear them anyway. Filatov showhome and instead, wash only fear me fear only Allah, meaning fear disobeying Allah, because that has real everlasting consequences. When it comes to the threats that people make, you know, eventually, they become irrelevant. They become history, but you know, disobedience you show Allah, that is serious. So Filatov showhome was shoni the

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the three things save a person. And one of the three things is the fear of Allah, in secret and in public. And whether you are alone, or you are in front of other people. So the fear of people should not prevent a person from doing what is right for that they'll show him will show me while he owes him money or materially qumola I look on that I don't continue to face the Qibla face the right Kibler face the Kaaba. Why, because this is the completion of Allah's blessing on you. This is the completion of the shared era. Okay, which blessing the blessing of this tree or the Lord that Allah has revealed, whether under contact or don't and so

that you obtain guidance, meaning when you face the qibla, you are rightly guided. And really, if you think about it, the cubelet is a huge blessing, because it's a cause of unity among the Muslims. Any think about it if this command was not given, what would happen? Imagine a family gathering one person praying in one direction another person praying another direction third person praying a third direction in a masjid Guinea it would be chaos. If we did not have a Qibla uniting us. All right. So the Qibla is a huge blessing. It's a cause of unity. And then another blessing as mentioned, come on, I'll sell Nafi calm Rasulullah min come next I just as we have sent among you a

Messenger from yourselves any just as Allah subhanaw taala has given you the blessing of the Qibla he has also given you the blessing of a messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what an excellent leader. What an excellent teacher what an excellent example. A messenger from yourselves a human being whom you can relate to. And this messenger yet Urla comm is Tina he recites to you our verses we use a key kami purify as you are you're a limo multi table hikma. He teaches you the book and the Wisdom where you are limo Cumberland Hakuna Matata

without any teaches you what you did not use to know any he is the fulfillment of the doora of Ibrahim alayhis. Salam, right. And the coming of the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa Salam is a huge blessing and sort of earlier and Ron I want 64 Allah subhanaw taala says Laqad Mandela who are a little more me Nina is Bertha V him Rasool Amin and fusi him. Allah has bestowed a huge favor upon the believers when he sent a Messenger from among themselves. So the Qibla is a blessing. But it is not the first blessing Allah gave this ummah, consider the blessing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam, and consider the blessing of the Quran, consider the blessing of different aspects of Rome

that Allah subhanaw taala has given. So when Allah has blessed you so much, what should you do? Fred Cooney and could come so you all remember me and I will remember you wash cruelly will attack Fulani and be grateful to Me and do not deny me any when you realize Allah's blessings on you, than increase in your remembrance of Allah, increase in your gratitude to Allah. And if you relate this with the beginning of the lesson, okay? Imagine people are making all this noise. Don't waste your time listening to them. Don't waste your time trying to appease them, argue with them. Know, keep your tongue busy that they could have Allah recognize the blessing that Allah has given you. Fanconi

remember me, I will remember you. What a privilege What an honor that Allah mentions you. In a hadith we learned that Allah subhanaw taala says that I am with my slave when he remembers Me and his lips move with my mention. And he for as long as you remember Allah Allah is with you. For as long as you mentioned Allah Allah mentions you. And we also learned another Hadith that when we make vicar of Allah, we say Subhan Allah we say, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah we say Alhamdulillah these words revolve around the Throne of Allah buzzing like beads, any they make a certain sound, as if they are making mention of the one who said it. So the Prophet sallallahu earlier Selim said,

Wouldn't any one of you like to have or continue to have something that reminds of him that makes mention of him in the Presence of Allah. So remember, Allah make dhikr of Allah, that will bring you courage that will bring you confidence that will bring you comfort, even when people are criticizing you, making fun of you making a lot of noise against you make the kind of Allah and Allah who will remember you find joy in the fact that Allah is making mention of you what a privilege it is, you know, sometimes when you're going through a tough time, or going through, you know, difficulty and somebody sends you a message just thinking about you hope all as well. He feels so good that

somebody is thinking about me, somebody you know, wants good for me. And they sent me such a beautiful message. You feel loved, even if you're surrounded by people who show animosity towards you. And someone from a different part of the world messages you showing their love any you realize you're not alone. So when you make the kind of Allah you're actually not alone, because Allah is mentioning you then find co Rooney at court calm, wash cruelly, will attack phone and be grateful to me, how is it that we show gratitude to Allah, especially for blessing like this, the blessing of the Qibla the blessing of knowing which direction to face when to face it, how to face it, how do

you show gratitude for it by acting upon this knowledge, so no matter where you are, face the Qibla happily, right throughout your Salah face to Qibla happily, any effort that you put in in order to determine the direction of the Qibla you know, do that happily. This is sugar and if you don't care about the Qibla you are lacks in that matter, that this is ingratitude. May Allah subhanaw taala protect us.
