Okay let's begin to proceed. In sha Allah today we will combine the word analysis anthem seed or with Ebola Humana shaytani R rajim Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim, Allah Tala Isla Lavina ha Raju min dare him, Have you not considered those who left their homes, while whom often in many 1000s had a remote fearing death Faqad Allahu Allah who moved to Allah set to them die, some are here home, then he restored them to life. In the law, hello fumbling Island Ness, Allah is full of bounty to the people, while our kin acceleron NASCI la Yash karoun. But most of the people do not show gratitude. Now, this is an incident about a past nation. And the details of this incident are not mentioned
anywhere else in the Quran, or the Sunnah. And the Quran is silent about the time when these people existed, the place where these people existed, and who, you know, these people were their names, et cetera, all of that has not been mentioned. And the fact is that such details, you know, the names of individuals were their homes were what was the era, you know, when they existed, et cetera? All of these details are not relevant, because what are we going to do with that information? Anyway, if we knew who these people were, what their name was? What are we going to do with that information? If we know in which year exactly this incident occurred, and why these people left their homes, what
was the fear that led them to leave their homes, any all of that information would be of no use to us. However, what is of use to us is the lesson that Allah subhanaw taala is teaching us over here. And this is a huge blessing that Allah subhanaw taala has left out all of these extra details that Allah subhanaw taala has not mentioned them in the Quran. Because if these details were given in the Quran, the Quran would be a very, very huge book, huge as in lengthy, and it would be impossible for us to, you know, recite the Quran in six days, or in 10 days or in 30 days. And also, it would be impossible for us to memorize the Quran. And you know, sometimes, when there are a lot of details,
you get lost in the details, and you miss the message, you missed the lesson. So some people when they're reading the Quran, when they come across such verses, you know, they begin to question well, who were these people? When did they live? What was their name? I need to know all of these details. Before I can believe before I can understand before I can take a lesson. No, you don't need all of those details. You can believe in the truthfulness of this incident because who is telling you the story, Allah subhanaw taala is right. And the lesson is right there. So focus on the lesson and not the details. And this also shows us that the Quran is not a book of history, nor is it a book of
science. It is a book of lessons, a book that gives us a bra that teaches us many important lessons. It's a book of ayat, right and if it is an indication is sign that points to something. So the ayat in the Quran, they lead us to Allah, right. So here, many details are not mentioned. But a lesson is taught. And look at how the eye begins. Lm Tala ILA, Haven't you considered? Have you not considered didn't you consider now a is is stiff ham. This is a question lamb means not Antara means you see. So a lamb Torah literally means Did you not see? An Eli means two words? Did you not look two words? Alladhina Horologium and Dre him? The people who left their homes. Okay. Now and I'm Tara ILA. Yes.
Literally means Didn't you see, but seeing is of different kinds. Okay. Seeing can be with the eye. And you can also be with the mind with the heart and thorough is a verb and it's from the root letters ra Hamza. Yeah. Wrote here is to see an RO ear is with the heart and also with the eye. Right? With the eye obvious. You open your eyes, you see something in front of you, but with the heart. What does it mean to see something with the heart it is to reflect on it, to consider to think about it to take a lesson from it. So along Tara Isla, we will not understand this literally that did you not see the incident when it occurred? Because the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam did
not see this incident occur. He came with
They after these people, right? You as a listener of this idea also were not there when these people left their homes out of fear of death, right you did not see it. So over here thorough means consider, reflect, think deeply take a lesson. And this expression is common in the Quran in surah Al Fajr IR six Allah Subhana Allah says Allah Tala K for ferula Buka varad didn't choose see what your Lord did with the people of Earth. Now again, you didn't see it in Serato feel Olam, Tala K for farlo Buka vs Hubble field, didn't you see how your Lord dealt with the people of the elephant? Again, you weren't there you didn't see it the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wasn't there he
did not see it. So what is meant is not the vision of the eye, but the vision of the heart. Think about this right? And notice how it has not been said lm tharla Did you not know because seeing is different from knowing when Allah subhanaw taala is telling us Allah Tala ILA, you see, when you see something, you have more conviction, okay, it is more than just knowing something there is more conviction. So, when Allah is telling us about this incident, it is as real and as true, as though you can see it right with your eyes. And yes, you don't see it with your eyes, but you can reflect you can consider their case and take a lesson from it and an unthaw ILA, this is a question and
we're not being asked this question. So that we give an answer that yes, I have considered Yes, I have reflected and I have or I have not, no an answer is not being required of us. This kind of a question is a rhetorical question which is urging us to reflect so olam Torah ILA and right at the beginning of the ayah you know, it's as if we are put in the right direction. That focus on the lesson reflect on the lesson. Okay. So alone, Tara ILA reflect on what Alladhina Hora Zhu Min dare him. Those people who went out from their homes, meaning they left their homes and Harajuku is from her dream to go out. So they went out from dare him Dr is the plural of the word Tao from the root
letters that welled up TAO is home Dr. Homes, so wherever they lived, all of them together, they left their homes, and how many were they were home alone, often, while they were 1000s aloof is the plural of the word elf elf is 1000 aloof 1000s from the root letters, Hamza lanpher. So there were in the 1000s and they left their homes. Now the word Lofoten has also been understood as from the word OLFA. OLFA means love. Okay, love and affection and aloof would mean over here that they were united Okay, meaning their hearts were united. So while home Oh fun Heather and melt Why did they leave their homes Heather and melt as precaution against death Heather from Heather, Laura
precaution and moat is death meanwhile, so these people left their homes out of fear of death. Now, what was the cause of that fear? Again, that detail is not mentioned. Okay. The exact reason why these people left their homes is not mentioned. The Aloma suggests that perhaps there was a plague, some kind of disease that was spreading quickly. So they left their homes in order to escape that disease. Or some say that it was the fear of an attack from an enemy. Okay, and from what is coming up ahead. And given the fact that the surah is a Madani Surah what seems plausible is that they fled their homes out of fear of an enemy. Okay. And basically, they were too afraid to fight back. So
Heather, I'll melt and this is more likely because look at the detail that Allah subhanaw taala has given which is wahome Lulu phone, they were in the 1000s in it, they were in the many 1000s Yet they fled from their homes out of fear of death. You see when you're alone and you have to face an enemy or you have to face a danger. Yes, you are afraid you kind of give up you flee. But when you are one of many 1000s Then at least your numbers it brings you some sense of security or at least some kind of courage that okay, I am not alone. All of us together can deal with this all of us together united. We can you know
face this problem, and we can fight it off. And if it's an enemy, we can, you know, fight the enemy together because we are in great numbers, you have some confidence because of your numbers. But these people, even though they were in the 1000s, they were still cowards, and they fled from their homes. Instead of staying and fighting the enemy, they fled from their homes. What happened with the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam and the Companions at the Battle of budder. Think about it. They went out of Medina, right in order to pursue the caravan, and then the caravan missed them. But when the enemy came marching toward Medina, the Prophet salallahu already sent him in the Companions met them
at Budish. Right, what happened at all heard, when the Muslims found out about the enemy, the people of Makkah that they're marching towards Medina, they went out of Medina in order to meet them at or hurt. And when at the Battle of hundreds, that the battle of Zab 1000s and 1000s of Musa kina were coming to fight against the Muslims. You know, the Muslims didn't flee from Medina, they stayed in Medina, all right, and they dug the trenches in order to protect the city, and the people within and they guarded the trenches and fought the enemy off. So this is what you know, any people would do if they have some courage, even. But the people that are mentioned in this idea, they had no courage
whatsoever, they were extremely weak, you know, very cowardly. So we're home Oh, no phone, even though they were in the 1000s, they left out of fear of death. Now, as I mentioned to you earlier, somewhere in a mindset that will homophone means that their hearts were united, meaning their hearts were like the heart of one men, they had OLFA, they had love for one another, they were together, because you see, there are some people, some nations where there is great division, there is racism, or you know, different reasons why those people are divided. All right, but then there are other nations who are, in general, very united. And again, you would think that if people are united, then
they care about their land, they care about their country, they care about their people. And so they're not going to just run away, they're going to come together, and they're going to fight the enemy. But we see that these people, in spite of their unity and togetherness, they did not have the courage to face the enemy. Right? So what happened now, their numbers and their unity, neither brought them courage. Why because they lacked faith in Allah or xojo So we're home Oh, no fun Heather oil melt. What happened? They fled from their homes, thinking that they would save their lives like that. But for Allah Allah whom Allah who moved to, for color, so he said LA home to them,
Allahu Allah, meaning Allah set to them and you know that the word color is from the root of well learn how Allah said to them mu to you all die. Now more to is from meanwhile, TA and this is an imperative a command. So Allah said to them die, and what happened? They all died. Okay? Because Allah subhanaw taala just has to say can be and whatever he wants will happen. In surah baqarah ayah 117. We learn what either kabbah Imran for inner Mayor kulula Who con Fayer Khun when Allah decrees a matter He only says B and it is it happens. So he just said mu two and they died. So this means that fleeing did not save them from death. Why because death was written for them at that time in
certain Arafa 34 Allah subhanaw taala says, While equally omitting agile, every community has a term meaning a term that is fixed a time that is fixed, every nation, every person, even for either JIRA or Janome layers that you don't ascertain whether you're stuck the moon, when their term comes to an end, then they cannot defer it nor can they advance it. Meaning when the time of death comes then a person cannot delay that time. And if a person wishes that that time is advanced, then again it cannot happen. Like some people you know, they literally wish for death, but they cannot die. They're not able to die. Some people try to you know kill themselves but they are not successful.
When do they die? They die when death is decreed for them. So for kala whom Allah who moved to Allah set to them die, and they died, and then some are here home. Then he gave
life to them I hear is from her Yeah, hey it is life or here he gave life. Now what does this show us? This shows us that fleeing does not save a person from what is meant to reach them. Right the Aloma c'est la unil Heather roop Meenal cuddle, that Heather precaution does not avail against decree it does not avail against decree meaning when something is written for you that no matter how much precaution you take, you cannot avoid it. You know, like in Hadith we learn that what is meant to reach you will never miss you and what is supposed to miss you will never reach you. Okay. So your planning is nothing in the face of fate. Okay. Now, what did these people do? I mentioned
earlier that these people their name is not given who they were, where they lived, all these details are not given because those details are not relevant. What is relevant is the lesson that almost Python is teaching us. Right? So these people, they fled in order to avoid death, but they died anyway. And when they fled, they basically left. They did not do what they were supposed to. They were supposed to fight their enemy, but they did not fight. Instead, they fled. So sometimes out of fear of what may happen, we think about leaving our obligations. This ayah teaches us that out of fear of what may happen do not leave your obligations, right, because they tried to flee from the
decree of Allah, only to meet the decree of Allah. Hi, in Surah Toba i 118 Allah subhanaw taala teaches us that Lomo Jaya Amin Allah He Illa LA, there is no refuge there is no escape from Allah except to Allah. There is no way that you can run away from what Allah subhanaw taala has decreed. Right? So when Allah subhanaw taala has decreed something, remember, you cannot avoid it, you cannot run away from it. The only way of saving yourself is that you turn to Allah. And if Allah subhanaw taala requires from you at that time that you do something, then you do it no matter what. And this I also teaches us that death is something certain there is no avoiding it. Right? Yes, there are
situations there are places where death is more likely that the chances of dying are high. But it doesn't mean that you know, if you go to that place, if you end up in that situation, you will certainly die. Like for example, a battle. And when a person is in a battle, yes, there is a high chance that they will die. The risk is high. But death is not certain. Khalid bin Walid radula horn who he participated in many, many battles, and when he was dying, there was not a single part of his body except that it had a mark on it from some injury that he had sustained in battle. And where did he die? He died on his deathbed. Okay, he did not die in a battle. And he said at that time, that
made the eyes of the cowards never taste sleep. Okay, because people who are weak in their heart and they lack courage, then out of their cowardice, they do not go to battle. But look at me. I have participated in so many battles. Yet, death is not finding me in a battlefield, but it's finding me were on my bed. So death is certain of us. pantherella tells us and sort of earlier Minaya 185 That Kowloon, Epson equal to remote, every soul will taste death. In verse 145 OF SWORDS earlier Milan warmer cannula and Epson and tomato Ellerbee in the like it have a more Agila, it is not possible for a soul to die except by the permission of Allah and the time of death is written, it's a decree
that is specified right before a child is born, the time of their death is written. Now, does this mean that we should not take any precaution, we should not take any protection? Like for example, if there's a danger before us, for instance, in our times there is real not imaginary, fear of catching a disease that is lethal and infection that is lethal. So does it mean that we do not take precaution because this is what some people do. You know, they will say things like just to Tawakkol there is no need for any vaccine or any social distancing, any cleaning, etc. Because you just do tilaka and Allah is this what this is teaching us know what the
is teaching us is that you are not in control and you should not become a coward in the face of fear and you should not give up your obligations out of fear. Rather what you do is you exercise caution, all right, you do what is within your ability, but then you surrender your affairs to Allah subhanaw taala. Okay, we have the perfect example in our model the Allahu Anhu when or model the Longhorn, who was the Khalifa, he was on his way to a sham. And on the way he received the news that a certain disease had spread over there. And what happened is that he stopped and he consulted the people who were with him as to what he should do, should he proceed toward a sham or should he return? So the
way that he consulted his people is that he called them in groups because when you have too many people in a meeting and everyone is saying, you know different things, then you cannot come to a conclusion. So he met people in small groups. Okay. So he first called the MaHA JRun. Okay, and he asked them that, what do you say, what should we do? Should we proceed? Or should we return and they gave different suggestions. Some of them will have your own they said, proceed. Because let you sleep Anna, Ilana Khattab, Allahu Luna, nothing will reach us except what Allah subhanaw taala has already decreed for us. If we go to a Shem and we get sick, then we get sick because it was already
decreed for us. Right and if that sickness is not decreed for us, we will never get sick. Others said that no, you should go back because Allah subhanaw taala says Latin could be ID Camila Toluca, do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction. So when you know that there is, you know, plague that has spread over there, then don't go there. So he said, Okay, and then he called the unsought, he sent them Oh, how'd you run away he called the unsought and the insaat also gave the same suggestions. Then he sent them away and he called the elders of the Quraysh. And all of them said to your model de la Mourinho don't go to Sham we should return an ER model de la Mourinho,
he preferred that suggestion, and since it was the elders of Croatia who gave that suggestion, he accepted that and he told people that we will return to Medina we will not go to a Shem so what happened now I will obey them in Java will de la Horne who, when he found out about what Romano de la Mourinho was doing, he came to him and he said, Are you trying to flee from the decree of Allah or leader of the believers? Any you are not going to a Shem you're going back to Medina because you're afraid that you will die or you're trying to flee from the decree of Allah or motto the Longhorn who said, I wish someone else had said that, and he not you but someone else had said that.
And he said, Yes, we are fleeing from the decree of Allah, to the decree of Allah. You understand, we are fleeing from the decree of Allah to the decree of Allah, that yes, we will do what we are supposed to meaning we will go back because that is safer for us. But we know at the same time that we cannot escape or avoid what Allah subhanaw taala has decreed for us. So remember that the word cool, does not mean carelessness and Tawakkol does not mean inaction. All right, like the man who did not tie his camel, alright, and he said to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you know I've left my camel as is because I put my trust in Allah. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said, no air cuddle with our curl aircall Go tie the camel and then put your trust in Allah. Right both go hand in hand. So in Hadith, we learned that when there is plague in a place, meaning when there is a place where there is an infectious disease, that people over there are affected by as a black man had been around for de la Horne, who reported from the Prophet sallallahu wasallam that if you are in a place like that, then do not go out of that place. And if you are elsewhere, then do not enter that place. Right. So this is something that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam Himself taught us that when you know that there is plague somewhere do not go there. And if you are in that
place, then do not leave that place stay there because otherwise you will carry that disease elsewhere. And that way it will spread. Right? And you know, in Hadith We also learn that the Prophet sallallahu earnings said um, said la dua which basically means that there is no infectious disease, okay. And what that means is that the disease itself does not have the power to catch you, okay, and to harm you. Rather, you will only catch that disease if Allah subhanaw taala has decreed it for you
And subhanAllah, you may have, you know, witnessed this maybe experienced this, that someone in your own home, or in your own workplace or in your school, or someone who was sitting next to you, someone who ate with you, someone whom you met who you had very close contact with, they got sick. All right, and they were carrying the infection when you had contact with them. But Allah subhanaw taala protected you or Allah subhanaw taala protected someone else, right? Sometimes what happens? A person is not showing any signs of infection, all right, but when they take the test become positive, right? So what's happening, this is in the control of Allah subhanaw taala not in your
control. So this means that we should not fear the disease, alright, which is a cause of death, and we should not fear battle, which can also be the cause of death or you know, something that becomes the cause of death. Rather, we do what we are supposed to, and we surrender our affairs to Allah or zoologia and we put our trust in Allah. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect us. So these people, they did not seek the help of Allah. They did not surrender their affair to Allah. They just fled like cowards. So for conlang Mala who Muto sama whom Allah said to them die, and then a here whom he gave life to them, He resurrected them. Amazing. This is truly amazing. And it shows us the
power of Allah azza wa jal, these people were in the 1000s and they died. And Allah subhanaw taala brought them back to life in this world. All right. And yes, Allah subhanaw taala will bring the dead to life on the Day of Judgment. But even in this world, Allah subhanaw taala shows us informs us of incidents where the dead were brought back to life. Why as evidence of resurrection, okay, and there are five incidents of resurrection that are mentioned in Surah Al Baqarah itself. And if you think about it, we have covered many of them already. First of all, in Surah, Al Baqarah, verse 55, and 56 We learned about how when the bunny is sloth you went with musante Salaam and they demanded
to see Hola. Hola, como SOHCAHTOA antem tongues alone. So my birth Nico mimbar, the multicam La La Quinta Sharon, all right, they were struck by a thunderbolt, and they died. And then the last panel Tyler resurrected them after they had died, so that they will be grateful. Then second incident is brutal. Bakura is 773 we learn about the man who had been killed and who was the murderer who had killed him. And there was a dispute among the Bani Israel. And so they were told to slaughter the cow. And then for call number three boo hoo B BB Lea, they were told that strike the dead man with a part of the cow and that men he became alive and he spoke the name of the man who killed him
Catholica your healer will Mota thus will Allah give life to the dead? Then the third incident is this one. Okay, verse number 243. Okay, so this is the third incident the fourth incident is mentioned sort of Bukhara verse 259, where we learn about Inshallah, we will do that very soon, about the man who came across if Korea, a town, it was desolate Muni, nobody was alive over there, the houses had fallen. And he wondered that how will Allah brought all of these people who lived here once upon a time back to life, so Allah caused that man to die for 100 years, and then Allah resurrected him? Okay. And then the fifth incident is mentioned in verse 260, of Surah Baqarah,
where Ibrahim alayhis salam, he wandered, he asked Allah that Allah show me, how will you bring the dead to life? And he said this that I want to have it made Nan in my heart, I believe, but I want to be reassured. So Allah subhanaw taala told him to take four birds and slaughter them, cut them to pieces and put the different pieces on different mountaintops, and then call them and when he called them. What happened is that those birds came to him rushing, so meaning Allah's parents would have brought them back to life. And Ibrahim alayhis salam witnessed that so these five incidents are mentioned in total baccarat itself and all of these incidents point to the fact of resurrection that
Allah who will resurrect people, Allah will bring them back to life. In Allahu Allah do for Glynn Isla NAS Indeed, Allah is surely possessor of favor over the people with a kinetic thorough nasty lash karoun but majority of the people do not show gratitude. Now in Allah Allah do fuddle well
does follow mean follow means favor and it's from the root letters foul BOD lamb and follow is basically an excess of something good and it's synonymous to Ziad Xia the means increase more right to follow is what is more what is extra okay but if something good, now Allah is possessor of fuggle over people, this means two things. First of all this means that Allah is possessor of favor over people meaning he has superiority over them. Allah has superiority over people, because Felina What does vallila mean? For Lila means virtue or excellence? And fuggle allow Heidi, when a person has fuddle over someone else, it means that they have superiority or excellence over them. Okay, so why
is this mentioned over here that in the law Allah do focalin Arlen Ness, because Allah is the One who has superiority over us. He is the one who is in control, not us. Right? Allah is the One whose command prevails over us. Sometimes the decisions that we make for ourselves or the things that we want to do the things that we intend to do the things that we plan to do, somehow still things don't work out, right? Subhan Allah, my husband and my son, but hamdulillah they just left for Umrah. And when they reached Medina, you know, my son's visa, it said that he is American, and he's actually Canadian. How Subhanallah that document went through the eyes of so many people, right? The agent
who will fill the form, the person who issued the visa, so many people, you know, witnessed that document, but somehow everyone missed it. Right? 100 Allah things got resolved that hamdulillah but any it's amazing how, you know, people are being paid to do one job, all right. But somehow they still don't do their job properly. Why? Because we are not perfect, right? We sometimes miss things that are so obvious. So what does that remind us of the fact that Allah is the One who is in control in the Allahu Allah do fhog Lin Island NAS? Now these people, they thought that by fleeing their homes, they would save their lives, but did they manage to save their lives? No, they didn't die
because of the sort of an enemy but they died just like that without any cause. Right? Allah subhanaw taala said Muto, and they all died exactly where they were. Right. Sometimes a person thinks that if I go somewhere I will get sick. If I meet someone I will get sick and Subhanallah even in one's own house, a person can get sick. Also, sickness, death, all of these things happen. How by the will of Allah by the even of Allah. And in Allahu Allah do focalin Arlen Ness Allah has power over us, he has superiority over us. We don't have power over ourselves even over our circumstances. Secondly, in Allah Allah do Feiglin Arlen Ness, this means that Allah is bestower of
favor to people. So though fuggle means that he is bestower or fuddle he gives favor to people and follow means favor like I mentioned earlier, and if you think about it, the favors of Allah on people are many were introduced near Matala, Hila or Suha. If you were to count the blessings of Allah, you will not be able to enumerate them. Right. So when Allah has done so much favor to us, should we be running away from Allah's commands or running to words, Allah's commands, we should be running towards Allah, not away from Allah. And these people, they try to run away from Allah. So we should not make that mistake. Allah is restore of favor to people and of His favor to people is that
he has informed people about resurrection and recompense and of His favor is that to some people, he gave death and then life again in this world, so that they themselves would be grateful for another chance and other people like us would learn from what happened to them and believe in the hereafter with conviction. So in Allahu Allah do fondling Allah NAS while our kin Athan naskila Yash kurunegala kinah But indeed, a third most calf cow or is the root most a nasty of the people lie Ash karoun They're not Wanzhou show gratitude. Yesh Quran is from Chien calf raw sugar gratitude. And what is sugar. Sugar is to show thankfulness to someone who has done a favor to us and Allah
subhanaw taala as we learn he is do fogal over us so we should be grateful but most of the people
Do not show gratitude Subhan Allah, you know, it is mentioned over here that most of the people don't show gratitude. In the Quran, we learned that most of the people do not believe most of the people do not know and most of the people do not show gratitude, introduce of i 103 Allah Subhana Allah says woman, a thorough Nursey Willow has to be moved meaning and the majority of the people even if you eagerly desire do not believe any, even though you really really want that people should believe still majority of the people do not believe in pseudo rara Iowan, Allah says Allah Qin ACARA naskila You may known, but indeed, majority of the people do not believe in Surah Nahal verse 38,
well I can occur on NASCI lair Allah moon, but the majority of the people do not know they do not have knowledge in certain Israa is 89 for about a couple Nursey Illa cavora but majority of the people have refused anything but in gratitude, meaning majority of the people show in gratitude. And here also we learned well, I can call a nasty lash Quran. So the majority of the people don't believe don't know, and don't show gratitude. So what does this mean? We should not be of that majority in Surah Al Anon Ayah 116 Allah says we're into their Aqsa ramen fill or the Uli leukeran, Seville Allah. If you follow the majority of those who are on the earth, they will mislead you from
the way of Allah. So don't follow the majority blindly. Do not be of this majority be of the Khalil be of those who are few into sub 13 Allah says worker li luminary by the Usher code, very few of my slaves are those who are grateful. So be of those few intrude sod i A 24 We learn ill Alladhina amanu why middle slowly hurt workers de la Mer home except those who believe and do righteous deeds? And how few are they? Meaning those who believe and do righteous deeds are very few. So majority of the people don't believe they don't show gratitude. They don't know. They don't do righteous deeds, don't follow them blindly do what is right, even if that means that you are of a minority No. And
sometimes that is the case that you are literally the only one you know who is for example, not taking interest or who is wearing the hijab or who is a visible Muslim, or who is asking for halal food. You know, sometimes you are literally the only one and you know sometimes you feel like you stand out and you feel weird, you feel a lack of courage. But remember that it's better to be of the few who know Allah, who believe in Allah who show gratitude to Allah than to be of the majority who don't know who don't believe who don't show gratitude. Because at the end of the day, it's our connection to Allah subhanaw taala that will benefit us not our you know, belonging to a huge crowd.
Then it is said Wakata Luffy Seville Allah wa ala mu and Allah has Samia on our limb and fight in the Cause of Allah and know that Allah is Hearing and knowing what Kotti do and you will fight this is a command that is being given to those who are listening. Those who believe it Lou you will fight from the root letters off tear lamb and Patel Patel is to fight one another. Cotton is to kill so this fight is not a verbal fight. Okay, this is war. Okay, so Cortino This is conflict, so called to fight, but don't just fight. It is feasability fight in the Cause of Allah. Okay. And Seville as you know is from the root letter scene Balam wala mu and you all should know I mean la meme is the root.
This is also an imperative. You should know and Allah Samir and Arlene that indeed Allah is Samir he is ever hearing seen me marine alim, I mean knowledge. Now these people who were mentioned in the previous if they fled from their homes, and like I mentioned it is plausible that the cause of fear was the fear of an enemy that they did not want to fight. They were afraid of fighting because there's a high risk of death and we saw how fleeing did not protect them from death they died anyway. In sooth earlier, Milan Iowan 68 Allah says a Latina Collie who Annie him will Cara do lo aka ona makuti lu
that the hypocrites, they stayed back. All right, they did not go for battle. And they said about their brothers who died in battle that if they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed. Meaning had they been at home like us had they not gone for battle, they would not have been killed. Cool federal war and physical melter in quantum Saudi clean, say avert death from yourselves if you are truthful. And if you think about it, all of those hypocrites who said this, they died eventually. And if you're not going to die today, or tomorrow or day after or next week or next year or next decade, eventually death is going to meet you, you are going to die. Right? And in the
previous video, we learned that caution and avoidance does not protect you from what is decreed, therefore fulfill your duty to Allah. So when Allah is commanding you to fight the enemy than what should you do fight the enemy. And this teaches us that qatal in and of itself, battle in and of itself, is not the cause of death. Okay, disease in and of itself is not the cause of death. All right, a certain place in and of itself is not the cause of death. When does death happen? When Allah subhanaw taala decrease it in South Florida 38 We learned equally ajilon keytab for every term is a decree meaning for every thing to happen, there is a fixed time for it, all right, there is a
fixed time for it. So 30 Luffy subida. And, you know, if you think about it, human life on Earth, this is a miracle, because at any moment, millions of things could happen that could cause death, that could cause human life to go extinct from the face of the earth, any moment any, there are so many chances of so many things happening that would cause us to die, but we are alive, we are thriving all over this planet, right? Why? Because Allah subhanaw taala he has decreed that we live on this planet, all right, for a certain duration. So we will live for as long as Allah subhanaw taala will allow us to live and we will die when Allah subhanaw taala decides that we die. So yes,
there are different things, different occurrences that become a means of death. Okay, like disease, an accident, battle conflict, things like that they become a means, but they're not the cause they're not the source, okay. And if we start fearing the means, then we would not be able to live we would not be able to live in peace, we would always be anxious, we would always be anxious, we would always be afraid. So, what are the Luffy sebelah fight in the way of Allah do not fear pital now it has said over here that fight feasable Allah in the way of Allah All right, any This is mocha Yeah, there is a certain clause that is mentioned earlier that fight in the way of Allah only in the
way of Allah not for other causes. So do not fight in battle for show of bravery, okay, or out of loyalty to your people or to gain fame or to gain spoils of war or to have you know, a bigger Empire etcetera. No, you should fight in the way of Allah as the Prophet sallallahu Urdu sent him said that whoever fights so that the word of Allah is the highest that person is in the way of Allah. So fight FISA, Belinda, because nothing else deserves that you raise weapons against another human being. Why Allah more and Allah has Samia and I leave and you should know that indeed Allah is Hearing knowing any Allah hears what you say. And Allah knows your intentions when you go out in his way. All right,
Allah hears what you say. So call upon Him and do not become weak because you have Allah. And this teaches us that you know when we are in a difficult situation, whether it is that we're facing an enemy or anything that frightens us, then we should call upon Allah because Allah is Samir. We should note that we're not alone. Allah is there and he is our limi he knows exactly what's happening to us. And he knows the state of our heart. He knows our intentions. In total and file I have 45 Allah subhanaw taala says Yeah, are you Halina Amma? No, either located on fietsen First Bhutto was good Allah cathedra La La come to flee Hone, that oh you have believed when you encounter
a company from the enemy forces, then stand firm and
Remember hola much so that you may be successful hola hola como. You should know that Allah is Samir. He hears what you say. So say positive things, say words of reassurance, words off to what cool words off vicar. Words that show that you believe in Allah and words of Dora. This is what you should be saying. And Allah is Aleem, he knows what you're doing. So watch your actions
