Taleem al Quran 2021 J02-028F Tafsir Al-Baqarah 213-214

then it is said, can a nurse who Oh my tongue Wahida the people were a single community, meaning all mankind, all human beings were one nation, one community. What does this mean? This means that the beginning of mankind was with guidance, right? First of all the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you know, he said, that colonial load that every child that is born is born upon the fitrah, right meaning upon to heat. But then what happens is che upon that leads people astray. And even our best little Dylan Warren who mentioned that all of the children of Adam were on towhead. They all believed in Allah, they all worshipped Allah alone, and this continued for 10 generations. And then

what happened? Then people began worshipping idols. So Allah subhanaw taala sent no Are they his Salam, so No, honey Salam is the first Rasul first messenger, okay, because he was a person to be sent to people to call them back to guidance. So at the beginning, yes, all people worshipped Allah alone. There was no shake. We learned in Surah Tunis is number 19. That woman can NSO, INLA automaton Wahida fault Allah for that people were one nation, okay? Meaning one community on to hate, they had the same religion, and then they differed, then the different meaning, then they became divided. So some went towards shake and then gradually what happened everyone began

associating partners with Allah. So we learn about the people of know how strongly they worship their idols and they will tell each other that do not leave your idols do not leave what and suar and youth and Nasser Do not leave your idols. So first turn off all right, and then everyone worshipped idols. So what happened then Allah subhana, WA Tada sent messengers, Allah subhanaw taala sent Prophets for birth, Allahu nabina MOBA shooting a woman VD, then Allah subhanaw, Taala sent prophets, why in order to guide people back. And these prophets, what did they bring? They brought good news. Right? Good news for those who believe. And they also brought warning. They also gave

warning to those people who disbelieved those people who refuse to believe in the Oneness of Allah. So for example, no Haile Salam, what did he say to his people? For Paul to stop Pharaoh robber come in who Kanika Farah euroset his summer RLA committed Laura, where you did a combi and wailing were beneath. He said to his people that seek forgiveness from Allah. And Allah is extremely forgiving, he will forgive you. And not only that, he will send the sky on you abundantly meaning he will send a whole lot of rain right for you. And when there is rain, then there is produce, then there's agriculture, then there is commerce, there is business, there is money there as well. And then you

will also provide you with children and wealth. So he gave them good news. And all of the prophets of Allah did that they were MOBA Shireen. They gave good news one one video they were also Warner's right? And sometimes we think only give good news to people or only give warning to people. But that is not the prophetic way. The prophetic way is to give both to be honest, to be truthful, to not water down the truth. And at the same time to not be harsh. So MOBA Shireen woman VD give good news and also give warning, what unzila Mara whom will keytab will help. And Allah subhanaw taala sent down with them, the book the Scripture with the truth. Now, of course, the scripture would only

contain the truth, right? It would only contain true facts. But why is this mentioned over here so clearly, for emphasis that the book would only contain the truth, and the people were in need of knowing the truth in order to be guided back because they were far from it? Leah, coma Boehner NASCI FEMA della Fofi so that He judges between the people in regard to whatever that they differed, meaning the purpose of revealing the book was so that whatever differences people had would be resolved. Okay, now Leah coma so that he judges who judges Allah subhanaw taala judges meaning the judgment of Allah, the hokum of Allah is according to the book that Allah subhanaw taala has

revealed. So if you want to know what Allah's judgment is regarding a certain matter, you see what the Quran says. Okay, and Leah coma so that it judges it is referring to the book, okay. And some say that Leah Camarena Ness here the pronoun is referring to the prophets of Allah, meaning the prophets of Allah would judge by the book, any the Prophet of Allah would never give a judgment that was contrary that went against the book of Allah. So remember that the teachings of

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam could never be in opposition to the teachings of the Quran. Okay, there will never be contradiction between the Sunnah and the Quran. Leah kkOma. Bina Nassif he mcdata Fofi. So what does this mean? This means that when people went astray Allah subhanaw taala did not leave people in misguidance. Allah did not leave people in error. He sent His messengers, he sent his book, His scripture, and the Scripture remained within the people even after the prophets so that the people would continue to benefit from the book. But then what happened when milk deliver fee Enlil Adina Autohome embody merger, a Tamil beginner, and no differed in it meaning in regard to

the truth, except the people who were given the book after clear proofs had come to them. Meaning, yes, Allah subhanaw taala reveal the scripture. But that did not mean that people became united again, that they went back to being one nation, one community like they were at the beginning. No, the differences remained. So for example, when Allah subhanaw taala revealed the toe rot he gave the total ought to Musar in a Santa, did everyone believed it all of the people in the world believe? No, when very sadly, his salon came? Did all of the people of the world believe no, they didn't, even when the Quran was revealed that all of the people of the world believed No, they didn't. So

you can conclude that just because revelation was sent just because the prophets were sent, the difference between people did not get resolved. Right. So what's the reason? Is it because the book of Allah was deficient? Is it because the prophets did not do a good job of know, the reason is bullying, buying a home, in outrage between them. So what is this? If they laugh this if they laugh, this differences that some people believed and others did not believe? And when you have a group of people who believe and then a group of people who don't believe then, of course, you know, you have division, okay, you have division, you have people with different goals, different lifestyles,

different objectives, and, you know, people are not the same. So, why is it that some people continue to disbelieve? Is it because the truth was unclear? Is it because the book of Allah was uncleared? No, the reason is Boolean Boehner outrage between them. Okay. Now, what does this mean? This means that the truth was clear to them, but they insisted upon their false beliefs. So let's take the example of the people of New Harley Cinna. did know Harley Salam not make the message clear to the people? Absolutely he did. He spent 950 years calling them to the worship of Allah alone. And he 950 years is long enough that you know, if you didn't understand and the first 100 years, maybe

you understood and the second 100 If you didn't get the message in the first 500 years, maybe you got it, maybe it was clear to you in the next 100 years. Any 950 years is a long enough time. Right? And in sort of knew, we'd learned about how he spoke to them privately and publicly one on one. And also, you know, he addressed crowds, he called them by day, he called them by night, when they put their fingers in their ears to block him out. He spoke loudly. Allahu Akbar, ne he left a no option. He left no avenue, basically, whatever that was within his capacity. And he did that in order to call them to the truth. So his nation was basically divided. Now, there was a majority who rejected

him. And there were about 80 or so people who believed in him. So now that this division existed in the people of New honey salaam, why is it that this division existed? Is it because the truth was not known? Is it because the truth was not made clear Noy was that the reason is that the people who did not believe in Him, they were arrogant towards the truth. They belittled the believers, they belittled the message that no Halle Sam gave them, and they told each other that led to the Aluna that you will never, ever leave the worship of your idols hold on to them, Do not leave them at all. So bombino Now, there's another interpretation of this if and that interpretation is that some

ornament say that Kevin Nestle Omata Wahida that people were one community what this means is that all of them were united upon misguidance Okay, meaning all of the people disbelieved, and that happened any at the beginning. Yes, everyone believed

cubed. And then soon after that there came a point when all of the people on the earth were disbelievers, all of the people on the earth worshipped idols. They did not worship Allah alone. So they were united upon misguidance. So then what happened? Allah subhanaw taala sent prophets and every single time that this happened, that all of the people this believed, then Allah subhanaw taala sent prophets, Allah subhanaw taala said guidance. And then what happened? Then there was division within people. So division happened when guidance came, what was that division? Some believed, and others did not. And those who did not believe they had no evidence for their denial,

they had no proof for their disbelief. Why did they disbelieve because of Bali, because of their outrage because of their arrogance, because of their rebellion. they disbelieved in the guidance that had been sent. So for example, I'm sure you have heard in the Sierra, that, you know, the people of Makkah would accuse the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam of creating division in their city, right? That how all of them were living, so called peacefully. And then came this man who claims to be a prophet, and he has divided families that now the son believes, and the parents don't, or the wife believes and the husband does not. So they all had the same faith. But now since

the message of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam has come families are fighting. They're divided. So for example, the Saudi Aldila Horan, who must have been a maid of the Longhorn. What happened with them, we don't intuitively uncouth I ate about how some people were forced by their families that they should do schicke so Allah subhanaw taala says we're in Jaha, Dhaka li to Sri kabhi Malay Celica be here in Fela tutor Houma, that you should be good to your parents. But if they force you this drive against you that you should associate partners with Allah, then do not obey them. Now, when you don't obey your parents. What does that mean? There will be division in the family. Right?

When you obeyed them, when you did whatever they asked you to do. You have the same religion, you had the same priorities, you had the same goals, then things were good things were peaceful. But since you changed, now, there's division. You see this, for example, in the story of Selma, Final Fantasy, Ile de la Horne, who, that as long as he was on the religion of his father, things were good. But then when he left that he couldn't stay there anymore. He had to leave the family was divided. And you see that even today, that as long as someone was under a religion of their family, things were good. When they become Muslim, the family is divided. You see this sometimes even in

Muslim families, that life is good things are very peaceful, until one person decides to start praying salah or they decide to start studying the Quran, they decide to wear their hijab, they decide to switch their jobs. Alright, so then there is division, there are differences. And if you think about it, sometimes the opposition, the harshness is not from the sight of the person who believes or who is striving toward the hereafter. The opposition is actually from those who refuse, they become more harsh. They will say things like you cannot come into the house with this thing on your head. Typically, you hear stories of women who are being proposed for their hijab. I remember,

a young man who was strictly forbidden from coming into his parents house, because he had a beard. When he grew a beard, his father told him Do not come into this house with that beard. You want to come shave that off. And this is a Muslim family, and with some family, they refuse to be there for his wedding, because he married a woman who wore hijab, and they refuse to, you know, financially support him be with him. Any all of that opposition and hatred. Why? Because of what because of his Deen. So sometimes this happens. And I'm sure you have witnessed this or you have experienced this, that things were very normal until one person became religious, or one person in the family. They

took Islam seriously. So sometimes that happens, yes, but they're not the ones who are causing problems actually, those who are causing problems are the people who are opposing them. Allah subhanaw taala says for head Allah Who ladina Amma no so Allah guided those people who believed meaning he gave them to feel that they should believe in the book that they should believe in the truth. Even though things were so unclear Lee McDonough for fee him in unhappy evening to the truth of the matter in which they differed any

Even though there are so many differences among people, Allah subhanaw taala reveal the truth, I'll help but people continue to differ in it. But Allah subhanaw taala is able to guide those who believe. Right? So ask Allah subhanaw taala for guidance. Now forehead Allah Who hidayah or over here, this is referring to hedaya Tofik and hedaya is Sha hedaya is shad, remember is to guide someone to let them know to make them aware to give them knowledge of what is right, what is wrong, and he Daya tofield is to give them the ability to accept it to follow it. So sometimes there's so much confusion, but Allah subhanaw taala guides, those who believe, even though the truth may have

been made so obscure, right, but Allah subhanaw taala is able to guide them. And there are so many stories, just among the companions think about how Salman al Farsi Radi Allahu Anhu was guided. Think about how so many companions were guided to the truth. Even though the people of Makkah had created so much confusion. And even someone would come into Makkah, they will be warned, that Be careful, there is a magician over here. And his magic is very strange. He uses words. And when he recites his words, then they basically take the effect of magic. You know, it's something that creates division between father and son, mother and son, et cetera. So when people would come into

Wicca, they would literally put cotton in their ears so that they would not even listen to the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam accidentally, but what happened among those people were individuals whom Allah subhanaw taala still guided. So sometimes those who disbelieve or those who oppose the truth, they create a lot of confusion. But Allah subhanaw taala still guide those who believe through all of that confusion. And Allah subhanaw taala gives them the ability to accept the truth to hold on to it. You know, it's not easy to hold on to the truth when you are being opposed. By for example, someone you love, like your own parents, if they tell you, if they tell you, you cannot

come into the family home, you cannot join us for dinner. You cannot come here on the weekend. You cannot come here in the evening. You are not welcome here until you remove that hijab until you shave off that beard until you leave your religion. This is very hard to be rejected by your own parents, day after day, year after year. This is not easy. When someone from your own family makes fun of you constantly at every gathering. You know, every time they have the opportunity they make fun of you for your deen

This is not easy. So to be able to hold on to guidance, this is only by the tofield Kabbalah, this is only by the permission of Allah. So what this means is that we should ask Allah subhanaw taala for guidance because guidance is in the hands of Allah. And we should thank Allah subhanaw taala Alhamdulillah he Liddie her Donna all praises to Allah who has guided us who has guided us who has given us the ability to hold on to the truth because this has been given he he with his permission. We're meant to shout ona Illa Ania sha Allah wala who yeah had the May a Chateau de la Salafi Mr P and Allah guides whomever he wills to the straight path Allahu Akbar any hidayah is a follow this is

a favor a huge favor from Allah

and Allah guides whomever he wills to the straight path and slit all day Mr. Kim straight path remember that a path is called salt a road is called set off in Arabic when it will feel certain conditions and all those conditions is that it should be West here it should be vast, it should be wild there it should be clear, it should be MR CLEAN it should be straight. It should be a club any the shortest way and it should be mostly any it should be a road that actually leads to the destination. So Serato Musa team the straight path is the path that leads to Allah the path that leads to paradise. Then it is said I'm hussy button or do you think and tell the whole Jenna that

you all will enter paradise did you think Did you assume that you will enter paradise just like that? Any just because you think or just because you have believed? You think entry into paradise is easy?

Well Amaya tickle methadone Medina, Holloman publikum while the like of which came to those before you has not yet come to you all well Amma yet Deacon Wilma and while not yet yet to come, it has come to you all what has not come to you all methanol

VENA like that which came to Alladhina, Holloman comedy comm those who passed on before you, meaning what came to the people before you has not yet come to you, you have not yet experienced what they experienced. So what is it that they experienced, they experienced a great deal of hardship. Allah subhanaw taala tells us must set humble But sir, over the raw was Zeno hardship touched them what kind of hardship but SAP and the law but SAT is hardship in their circumstances, right? Like for example, poverty or social isolation, right or opposition from your own family. Sometimes there is financial difficulty, right? Sometimes the political situation is such that it makes practicing the

slam very, very difficult on you. There are, you know, bills being passed that don't allow you to wear hijab that don't allow you to practice your faith, this is all part of that set, right in your circumstances, that your circumstances are not easy. They're not conducive to your practicing of Islam, what the raw, the raw hardship in their selves, like for example, disease, and this can be physical and even mental, emotional, so But sir, what the raw and mircette on this touch them was Zulu. They were shaken, Zulu, they were shaken. He and He they experienced a whole lot of fear and a whole lot of anxiety. Xenu we see that this word has also been used in the context of the Battle of

a hijab, right? That were Bella Hottel, colluvial hanergy, that the believers, you know, they were experiencing so much hardship that their hearts were reaching up to their throats. Right. So, so much fear so much anxiety, so much worry. This is what the people before you experienced to the extent that had they Akula rasuluh Alladhina amanu tomorrow until the messenger and those who believed with him said that Medina Sula, when is the help of Allah coming? When is this ordeal going to be over? When are things going to become easier? Allah subhanaw taala answers Allah in the nostril Allah Hikari verily, indeed the help of Allah is Ever near, somewhere in a mercy that the

messenger and those who believed they said materna salah, when is the help of Allah coming and then they comforted themselves that Anna in the nostril Allah hickory, that Verily the help of ALLAH is near. So this Joab this could be from Allah this could also be from themselves. Now question Why did they say that? When is the help of Allah coming? Any this is kind of like a drop. Okay, you need they said this because they knew that the help of ALLAH is coming but they were almost becoming impatient for it. Things were getting really really difficult. They didn't say this out of doubt. Okay, Medina salah, they didn't say this out of doubt that when is it coming? Is it even coming? How

come it's not here yet? They didn't say this out of doubt. They said this out of Tulum, out of desire, right and out of hysteria JAL, out of impatience, any not impatience, in the sense that they were losing it, but things were getting really really hard on them. We learn kebab Radulov, Mourinho remember that he experienced a lot of hardship and maca. There was this woman, you know, who used to brand his back basically with hot iron rods, okay, because he had believed and he used to work for her. So she would literally burn him on his back for his Islam. So kabob Radi Allahu Anhu had experienced a whole lot of difficulty in the way of Allah. So at one point, he came to the prophets

Allah who already he was alone when the Prophet sallallahu where it is and it was sitting in the shade of the Kaaba. And he said, that O Messenger of Allah, will you not ask Allah to help us? Will you not make dua for us, that things should be easy for us already? So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he sat up, and he said that a believer among those who were before you used to be combed with iron combs so that nothing of his flesh or nerves would remain on his bones. Yet, that would never make him leave his religion. A saw would be put over the parting of his head, which would be split into two parts, any assault will be put on the top of his head and his body, or his head would

be split into two parts, a stuff that Allah yet all that would not make him abandon his religion. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam continued to say that Allah will surely complete this religion

And he said that you all are hasty you all are being impatient. So, remember that in the way of Allah there will be trials and so to uncoupled right at the beginning Allah subhanaw taala says Elif lamb beam or hassy Manasa Nutreco and your Kulu Amana hula, you afternoon, do the people think that they will be left just because they say we believe and they will not be tried what are called fraternal Ladino and cuddly him, we tested the people before them to these tests, these trials will be there. Think about the family of yes it think about us horrible dude, people who were thrown into the trench, right that was filled with fire. Think about how fit our own killed. All of those

magicians who believed in Masada, his sinner, that he crucified them. Basically, he cut their hands and feet from the opposite sides and he crucified them, he hung them literally so that they would die. Any trials will be there. And we learned in Hadees that the trials that a person faces are in proportion to their Deen, the higher the level of a person's thinking the greater the trials will be. So this doesn't mean that we ask Allah subhanaw taala for trials. No. But we take comfort in the fact that this is part of the process. When things get difficult. Remind yourself that this is part of the process. This is not something unusual. You're not the only one who is experiencing

difficulty. Some people's trials are visible. Other people's trials are hidden. But every believer is tested. And don't assume that if you're not tested, almost Pantheon is happy with you. Don't make that assumption, because we learned that the people who are tested are the people who have greater faith or greater commitment to their Deen. And all of these tests are for a reason. They purify us, they strengthen us they draw us closer to Allah subhanaw taala they reveal our reality to us we get to know ourselves through these trials instead of Mohammed II 31 Allah subhanaw taala says What an ugly one Nico had done earlier, Mujahideen, Amin como Sabreen, when a blue bar calm, we will surely

test you until we make known the those who strive among you, those who are patient, and we will examine your condition, we will test you to reveal your true worth alone was done. And basically what this is telling us is that if you are facing hardship, that's the norm. And remember that no hardship is going to last forever. Allah inositol Allah He Corrib what does this mean? That the BITSAT the law that you are experiencing right now is not going to last forever? You know, when a trial goes on for too long, when some difficulty you experience it for a very long time, you begin to wonder when is it going to be over? You know, for example, just because I've experienced this

very recently, when you are pregnant and you are at the end of your pregnancy, you wonder what is this child coming? Every day seems so difficult, right? But you remind yourself that, you know, this child is not staying in forever, even if you're way past your due date, you know, Inshallah, the child will come whenever Allah subhanaw taala has written and that time has already been decided, right? A day is filled with hardship. But remember that that day will come to an end. Right? So Allah inositol Allah He Karim, when things get very difficult, they get unbearable, repeat the statement, alert in an arsenal like Kareem. And you can write this for yourself, you know, and put

it somewhere maybe at your desk or maybe on the refrigerator or somewhere so that you can remind yourself Allah in anisul, Allah He clean, right, whatever relief you are seeking, whether it is in terms of your physical health, or your family situation, or maybe financial situation, whatever it is that you're struggling with, remind yourself Allah in the masala here Corrib. Indeed, the help of ALLAH is very near. Let's listen to the recitation of these verses. So there are some questions that I just noticed. One is a question regarding whether Idris RT Salam was the second prophet. So remember that you know the word unabIe and Arrazola? Sometimes, yes, they're used interchangeably,

but there are them I say that there is a difference between a nubby and aerosol Okay, so no relic is Salam was the first Rasul okay of Allah His Salam was in V. Idris or his Salam was in a B. Okay sheath or a sedan was in a B, but no honey salon was a Rasul. And what's the difference between the two Illa Sol is sent to a disbelieving people. Okay or Illa sold

brings a new law and in OB only revives the previous law, okay or in OB is sent to a people who are already believing, okay? And every other soul is in OB, but every newbie is not a Rasul. Inshallah, if you have a class in Artesia, I'm sure you will learn more differences. But the point is that no honey Salam was the first Rasul because he was the first messenger to be sent to a disbelieving people before him, people believed in Allah. Okay. There is another question that when faced with hardship, does that mean we have strong faith or we are doing something wrong and need to learn from it? It's actually a combination of things. Okay, when there is a storm, for example, there isn't

just one factor that is bringing that storm together. Right? There is a whole lot of, you know, factors within the atmosphere, within the climate, the time of the year, et cetera, all of those reasons come together to create the perfect storm. Right? So just like that, when you have a trial in your life, why is it there? It could be because you believe, right? And Allah subhanaw taala wants to purify you on this panel, Tara wants you to be better, right? So Allah subhanaw taala puts you in hardship so that your sins are forgiven, you learn something from it, and you draw closer to Allah. Alright, you know, someone said that, that a person is able to learn from a moment of

hardship, what he is not able to learn, in years of ease, okay, that you live years and years with ease, and you're not able to learn certain lessons. But those lessons you can learn when you are put in hardship, even if that hardship was just for a Syrah just for an hour just for a moment. Alright, so your job is not to find out why you are being tested. Okay? Your job is to draw closer to Allah subhanaw taala through your test, or through that trial. That is why Allah subhanaw taala tests us to soften us up a little our own so that people humble themselves before Allah to draw closer to Allah. Okay, so there's multiple reasons. The names of the prophets and messengers that are

mentioned the Quran some of them are prophets only and some of them are messengers as well. Okay. Baraka lofi calm Okay, inshallah we will conclude over here which is eco low Hayden cathedra, subclinical Lahoma behenic eyeshadow Allah ilaha illa Anta esta Furukawa Tobu Lake, WA salaam Wa alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
