Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2021 J02-028D Tafsir Al-Baqarah 207-211

			then it is said Wamena unless he made yesterday enough, several but the LA Matoba Tila and among the
people is he who sells himself to seek the means to the approval of Allah. Allahu Akbar. Now this is
a completely different character. Okay? This is someone whose words align with their actions. This
is someone who is very honest and sincere in their faith in their submission to Allah. Okay, so what
did they do? First of all, am I yesterday enough? So he sells himself to seek the pleasure of Allah?
What does it mean by this, that he sells himself? What is your self, any yourself includes your
body, your entire being, your time, your wealth, your safety, your well being your reputation, your
		

			will your desire, there's different parts of your existence. So he gives up all of himself. He
doesn't hold anything back in order to seek the pleasure of Allah, what does it mean? That his
ultimate goal is to please Allah, and he's willing to give up anything for the sake of Allah.
		

			Okay. Now, for example, when we were talking about arguments, right, there are people who become
very stubborn in argument. And when they believe they're right, they just don't give up. Even if it
means they're arguing for hours for days. And the argument turns, ugly, hostile, they're just not
willing to give up. Right? Because they believe they're right. And they believe that they should
prove themselves right. And other people should accept them. Okay. And then there are people who
remember the advice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that even when you know, you're
right, you give up quarreling for the sake of Allah. Okay? What does that mean? That you stopped the
		

			argument? Right? You say that, okay, Allah knows best. Fine, you can do what you want. I disagree
with it. However, to each their own, you know, you kind of resolve the argument. You don't want to
prolong it, you have the perfect comeback, but you remain silent. You have the perfect response, but
you remain silent. Right. Now, what does this mean, when you are leaving that argument? By not
giving a response? What is it that you are suppressing your Eagle? Right? Your arrogance, sometimes
that means that now people are gonna look down at you. Now, you're going to be viewed as a weak
link. Right, as someone who's a pushover. And then there's all these thoughts coming into your head
		

			that you know, now people are never going to listen to me, this person is never going to respect me.
And you know, they're gonna think I'm wrong. And I know I'm not wrong. So you're basically giving up
your Eagle. Right? You are giving it up? Why to seek the approval of Allah. You see that? It's not
easy. It's hard. And you see the goal is MOBA tila. So such people Allah subhanaw taala says, we'll
know who to all familiar about Allah who is very kind to the slaves. Why is this mentioned over here
we'll log on to openbet rebirth, any for the previous character what was mentioned for hospitable
Johanna this person will end up in *. The punishment is mentioned here the reward is not
		

			mentioned. It is mentioned that Allah is very kind to the servants. Why? Because this shows that
Allah subhanaw taala is very pleased with this person and Allah subhanaw taala will be very kind to
this person. So Allah subhanaw taala will give this person a reward that is beyond your imagination.
Allah subhanaw taala will give this person satisfaction and honor and dignity in paradise that you
cannot even fathom will Allah who are often very bad and this is so comforting. But sometimes you
feel that nobody can hear you. Nobody's listening to you but Allah is listening to you. Allah cares
about you. Well Allah who too often binnorie
		

			insalata Toba is number 111. Allah subhanaw taala tells us that in the lush total Amina me Nina and
Fusa home or am wider home be under the humble Jana, that indeed Allah has purchased from the
believers, their souls and their properties in exchange for Paradise and he will give them paradise
in return. And what is in paradise what rewards are there in paradise? The details are not mentioned
over here. And even in this is 207 And how will Allah show compassion in what ways that is not
detailed?
		

			Why? Because just leave that to Allah. Okay? That's a complete surprise. They seek the approval of
Allah, they will get the approval of Allah. You don't even ask about what kind of success and honor
Allah subhanaw taala will grant them. So what is this ayah encouraging us to do this ayah is
encouraging us to seek the approval of Allah, you know, sometimes we seek approval from ourselves,
or we seek approval from other people. And, okay, it's fine, that you want to be happy, you want
certain people to be happy. But there's no end to that. And there is no real guarantee. Right? And
even when you are happy with yourself, it doesn't mean you're successful. Even if certain people are
		

			happy with you, it doesn't mean that you're successful. So, seek the approval of Allah and seeking
the approval of Allah does not come with empty words. It does not happen with just claims. It
happens with actions. Okay. So for example, in sort of the Toba i 111, where las Panatela mentions
that he has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties exchanged for Paradise.
Afterwards, the characteristics of these people are mentioned that they are attacked a boon there
are those who repent a Larrabee dune there are those who worship Allah, different actions are
mentioned that they command what is right different bit what is wrong, they fast they traveled for
		

			the sake of Allah, how many don't they praise Allah, they thank Allah or xojo Subhan Allah and he
all of these characteristics are mentioned which reflect actions behaviors, so you seek the pleasure
of Allah, not just with words, but you seek it with actions and sometimes that also means sacrifice,
sacrifice of Eagle, sometimes sacrifice of your own wealth. So for example, it is said that this
idea was actually revealed about Sohaib Rhodiola Harinam. So Hey, bro de la Mourinho, he was a
resident of Makkah, he was not an Arab. He will save a roomie, okay, meaning he was a Roman, who had
ended up in Makkah as a slave, he was captured or something and he ended up in Macau as a slave. And
		

			what happened he embraced Islam and eventually any he lived in Mecca for a long time. And you know,
he gained his freedom and he established a great amount of wealth for himself. And when he was
making the Hijra to Medina, okay, so hey, bruh de la Mourinho, when he was making the Hijra to
Medina, some people of Makkah, they came in, they surrounded him, okay. Basically, what they meant
was, if you try to leave, we're going to kill you. So So hey, * Longhorn, who said to them that
you know that I am the best archer here, and I have my arrows with me. So you're not going to kill
me before I killed many of you.
		

			Okay, and then he said, that if what you want from me is my wealth, then I can tell you about where
it is and how you can access it. But once I give it to you, then you leave me and you let me go
wherever I want. So what happened? They agreed, they said, Fine, you tell us where your wealth is,
and we will take it and you can go wherever you want. So he told them about his wealth. And he
basically had to give up his wealth in order to be able to migrate to Medina. So that was a huge
sacrifice, right, a huge sacrifice. And he gave up his wealth in order to make to Medina safely and
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that this trade has been successful. And he he
		

			literally made a trade. Right? He had to give up his wealth in order to make it to Medina. So he had
to make this trade. Why? Why did he make it, even de la mala tinleigh to seek the approval of Allah.
And Allah says Allah hula often very bad, Allah is compassionate to his slaves, his worshippers,
meaning what they will get in paradise in the hereafter is far better, far more than what they give
up over here. You know, anytime it's difficult to give up arguing, just remind yourself that the
reward that Allah will give is greater than what I will get by arguing. And sometimes, you know,
it's petty things that we argue over with our children, with our spouses with our siblings. So
		

			remind yourself that what I can get by giving up this argument is far better than what I can get by
arguing. Then Allah subhanaw taala tells us Yeah, a human Ladino Ermanno or you have believed or the
whole new facility Kapha enter into Islam completely. Allahu Akbar is in the previous verses we've
been learning
		

			about fasting and Hajj and different rituals. And we think Islam is just about rituals. And that's
not true. Yes, Islam has many rituals, you have to pray a certain way you have to fast a certain
way. When it comes to the cats, you know, when it comes to hajj, there are proper, you know, rules
and regulations. But when it comes to our character, when it comes to our interactions when it comes
to our behavior, when it comes to our language, when it comes to the way that we are treating our
children, our parents, Islam also gives us guidelines in regard to these things. So enter into Islam
completely, any, don't just be a Muslim, when you're praying, when it's time to pray, then you face
		

			the Qibla you wear proper clothing, you recite you know properly. Yes, that's important. But then,
as soon as you end your Salah, what happens to you, you become into a different person, all of a
sudden, you are harsh and obnoxious and rude and condescending. And what's happening over here while
you were praying such a good Muslim, once you finished praying, then what happened to your Islam?
Are you still in submission to Allah? Does your character reflect that you are someone who has
surrendered to Allah? Or does it reflect that you have surrendered to your desire, so enter into
Islam completely, okay. And this means that follow all of the commands that Allah subhanaw taala has
		

			given, don't leave any of them out. And don't be like those people who have taken their desire as
their God. So if something of Islam aligns with their desire, they do it. But if it opposes their
desire, they leave it. No, our desire should be under the dean. Right? Meaning, we don't just pick
and choose what we like, rather, we make our desire, we bring it under the commands of Allah
subhanaw taala. So even if we find it hard to do something that Allah subhanaw taala has commanded
we still do it. And if we are unable to do it, at least we should intend to do it. Because when you
do something good yes, you are rewarded for it. But when you are not able to do it, but at least you
		

			make the intention for it with your intention, you can get the reward. So what the whole office
cilmi CAFA, enter into Islam completely. And part of this is that you know, take all of Islam
together as it is, and you don't pick and choose, you know, from the texts, what you like to prove a
point and ignore everything else. You know, there are many groups of people who will for example,
take a certain portion of the Quran and hold on to it and ignore everything else. Or they will take
a couple of verses, or some a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and ignore the rest
of religious texts. For instance, there are people who will really focus on a hadith that condemn
		

			people to hellfire. Okay, and yes, those are Hadith are authentic. They're sound like for example,
the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam said that the person who cuts ties of kinship will not enter
paradise. So they will, for example, take this hadith and they will say that such a person is no
longer a Muslim. Okay, the person who cuts ties of kinship is no longer Muslim. And that is not
true, because that's not what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, what he said is that
person will not enter paradise and what he meant by that is that the person will not enter paradise
easily or right away, he will only enter Paradise after punishment. Okay, so you can't just take one
		

			iron one Hadith and generalize it and ignore the rest of Islam. Okay, that is unfair. That is not
the right approach. Because if that is the case, then you know Allah Subhana Allah says in the
Quran, for way too little mousseline war to those who pray. So you could use that idea and say that
don't pray because if you pray, you'll be punished. But that's not what that means. Because read on,
what does the next I say? It says, We know little mousseline Alladhina home on Salah team. So home
Alladhina Homura own there are people who are neglectful of their prayers, and they're showing off
when they're praying. They're not sincere in their prayers. So those who pray in order to show off
		

			water them so the whole office and be careful when it comes to the texts of the Quran and Sunnah.
Take all of them into consideration. Don't just take one or two and then which especially suit your
desire, and ignore the rest, and then we'll do one office me Kapha means all of you. Any UK
		

			are about salah you care about your hijab? What about your daughter? Are you teaching her as well?
Are you encouraging her as well your son Are you encouraging him your spouse? Are you encouraging
them and you are eager to enter into SAM completely but don't ignore the people around you that you
should desire the best for them also allows parents to tell us in the Quran, that pool and Fusa con
will actually come Naira that save yourselves and your families from the fire don't just worry about
yourself also worry about others and then in the said well at the W Hotel attache plan to not follow
the footsteps of shaitan because he is in a hola como como bien he is to a clear enemy. What does
		

			this mean? Any when you enter into Islam completely, okay, this means that by definition, you're
going to oppose the ways of shaitan. So do not follow the ways of shaitan. For instance, shaytaan
eats with the left hand, drinks with the left hand, and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam informed
us of that, right? We have not seen shaitan doing that the prophets of Allah already said, I'm told
us about that. And he told us about that, so that we don't follow shaper. We don't eat and drink
like shea Pong, right? So enter into Islam completely means that when you're drinking, when you're
eating, do so with the right hand. And that means that you will oppose shaitan. Okay, meaning you
		

			will not eat and drink with the left hand. It's something small, but it matters when it comes to
even giving and taking something the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us that there's Hadith in the
bin manager that shaitan does that with the left hand gives and takes with the left hand, so we
should give and take things * with the right hand. So entering into Islam completely means
opposing shaitan. So Latta, Toby Roho, toward the shaytaan because he is to you a clear enemy, and
you don't ever want to listen to your enemy. When you have even the slightest feeling that someone
does not like you, then you oppose them in every way. You are so careful around them, you don't
		

			listen to them. Right. Sometimes people believe that they just have this assumption that their
parents hate them. So anything that the parents will say, they will criticize it, they will oppose
it, they will argue, and parents are not your enemies, they want the best for you. So when it comes
to shape on his enmity is evident. How is it evident? Because look at how he treated your father
Adam, look at how he expressed his hatred, right his arrogance and look at how he vowed that he
would lead all you know people astray. So in the hola como como bien, do not follow Him and this
enemy of yours, he commands you to do evil, to do wrong things to do things that will harm you. And
		

			when you enter into Islam completely, that means you're not going to do wrong things. You're not
going to do obscene things. For inzerillo to remember the merger at Como by kienet. Then if you
deviate after clear proofs have come to you farla Woo and Allah Aziz and her keen, then you should
know that Allah is Exalted in white and wise. Now this is a warning. This is a threat. Because
notice it has not been said over here, that if you slip after clear proofs have come to you then you
should know that Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Absolutely he is.
But here, look at the names that are mentioned. Allah is our Aziz, He is Almighty, you cannot escape
		

			him. He is Hakeem, he is wise and his judgment prevails. So you cannot get away, meaning you cannot
escape his wrath. You cannot escape his punishment then. So this is a very severe threat, a warning
that don't slip now, after clear signs clear evidences have come to you. And I mentioned to you
earlier that sometimes a person slips because of ignorance, because of forgetfulness, and that kind
of slipping is pardoned. Okay, we learned in Hadith that Allah subhanaw taala has pardoned this
ummah, in regard to what they forget, right in regard to genuine errors, okay, because we are not
perfect, we are human, we will forget we will make mistakes. But then there are times when a person
		

			knowingly, knowingly intentionally does something wrong. Okay? So this is a warning against that,
that when you consciously choose to do something wrong and you're slipping, then don't blame
circumstances take responsibility, and you should realize that Allah is disease hacking, and this
means that whatever punishment Allah is legislated, for example, for the thief for the murderer,
these punishments are based on a loss wisdom and a loss penalties or z's, he has the power to
legislate so you cannot escape his punishment if you somehow avoid it.
		

			In the world, there is no getting away on the Day of Judgment, you should fear Allah, then in a sad
Hellions Aluna Illa to whom Allah who feel Lulu live Minella mammy will Mala Iike to a Khalil
		

			any, this is a question that people who are striving and facade, right Sarona fill facade. Earlier
we learned about that character that person who Sarah fill out the UFC the fee, right? Who are going
on in their hypocrisy, right? Or who follow the footsteps of shaytaan? Or who abandon the Command of
Allah who knowingly ignore the commands of Allah? What are they waiting for? Any what's stopping
them from obedience? What's preventing people from entering into Islam completely? Is it that
they're waiting for something big to happen? Well, what if before you know it, death happens and the
Day of Judgment happens? Any basically here the Day of Judgment is described, okay. Because we
		

			learned that on the Day of Judgment will flood the herd this summer or for Kenneth abueva, into to
number is 19. Allah's pantile tells us that the sky will be opened up and it will become gateways,
okay. And Allah subhanaw taala will come we learn that wotja Or Buka, will medical suffered suffer
in sutra Fajr is 22, that your Lord will arrive and the angels will also arrive? And how will the
angels come in rows forming rows? So are they waiting for Allah to arrive? Are they waiting for the
angels to arrive? Are they waiting for the day of judgment to happen for judgment to take place? Any
Why delay? And this is a question that we need to ask ourselves you know, when we procrastinate for
		

			example, I will start you know reciting Quran I will start for example, you tell yourself you know,
I will stop swearing, okay, I will stop, you know doing this sin or that sin? I will start doing
this good deed I will I will you keep telling yourself I will I will. When are you waiting for
tomorrow? Well what if death is written for tomorrow? And then the next thing you know, when you
will wake up it will be the day of judgment. So do not delay. Do not delay repentance Do not delay
leaving sin. Do not delay turning back to Allah do not delay entering into Islam completely. You
know, sometimes we wait for certain things to happen in our lives, certain milestones, right? That
		

			for example, I will start wearing hijab when I get married. I will start praying my son know when my
children are in school, I will start doing this when that happens. You don't know if you're going to
reach that milestone. You don't know if you're going to ever get to that stage. So don't wait. Do it
now if it's important if it's right if Allah subhanaw taala likes it do it now. What eat Allah He
told Jarrell OMOs and to Allah all matters return any all matters will return to Allah He will judge
he will give recompense there is no avoiding that anyway, so stop waiting and start doing and then
in the next day we're told Sal Bani Israel Isla come attina Human item beginner, any Are you
		

			unconvinced? What's the problem? What's holding you back? Are you unconvinced? So ask the children
of Israel how many clear evidences we give them? As if to say any you don't believe? Go ask them
people before you are also given many clear signs, many clear proofs many clear verses. But what did
they do? Well, may you bet the near Metalla human bar the manager, a twofer in the luxury leader
club, whoever exchanges the favor of Allah after it has come to him that indeed a lie severe and
penalty, meaning learn from the people before you learn from their example, Allah subhanaw taala
gave them many convincing proofs. But they delayed remember the story of the cow. They were given a
		

			simple command, slaughter a cow. And they complicated it so much. They delayed the marked, right
they made excuses. So it became harder for them. So when Allah subhanaw taala gives you a command
and enter into Islam completely, because sometimes we just keep asking questions and we keep you
know delaying we keep procrastinating in different ways. So Allah has given you a blessing by
telling you what to do. Every command is a blessing. You know that every command that Allah has
given you is a blessing. Because through that command, you can earn closeness to Allah, you can earn
more Bartylla so give up your Eagle, alright and show surrender to Allah. And if a person exchanges
		

			that blessing of Allah by showing in gratitude, then the consequence
		

			Chances are severe in the Latasha de donor club May Allah subhanaw taala protect us
