Taimiyyah Zubair – Taleem al Quran 2021 J03-039B Tafsir Al-Baqarah 284 Part 2

			So remember that as long as these thoughts are not brought on the tongue, there is no sin. Okay? As
long as these thoughts are not brought on the tongue, there is no sin at all. In another Hadith we
learned the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah has ignored from my community for my
OMA, what comes to their mind, as long as they do not act on it or pronounce words to that effect.
Meaning, if you feel something in your heart, could be a feeling, it could be a thought it could be
an idea. It could be a question, it could be something that you're wondering about, and you know
that it's wrong, you know that it's bad, you know, that it's inappropriate. All right, then, as long
		

			as you don't speak about it, and you don't act upon it. What do we learn from the Hadith in Allah,
the gel was le Almighty, Allah subhanaw taala has pardoned the ummah of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
salam for that. And this is such a huge blessing. Because imagine if we were punished for what comes
in the heart, because what comes in the heart is not always in our control. So for instance, let's
say there's a woman, and she is annoyed with her husband, she feels very angry. And this is
something normal that happens in every relationship. And now what's happening with this woman in her
head, right? She is yelling at him. And she says things like, I have never received anything good
		

			from him. And she has thoughts like, you know what, I think I'm just going to end this marriage,
it's not worth it. Now, this is just in her head, okay, these thoughts are just simmering in the
head. And the reality is that her husband, for example, has been very generous and helpful towards
her. He's a good man, and there is no legitimate reason for her to end the marriage. And these are
matters against which the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam clearly warned. So for example, can a woman
raise her voice and insult her husband and yell at him? No, this is no shoes. This is not
permissible. Likewise, when the husband is good to his wife, and there is no legitimate reason to
		

			end the marriage, then also in Hadith, we learned that this is wrong. And for a woman to say that I
have never received anything good from you, to her husband. This is extreme ingratitude against
which the prophets of Allah who earlier said him gave a severe warning. Now what's happening with
this woman, she is angry, and in her head, she's having all of these thoughts. Alright. So as long
as these thoughts remain in the head, she is not sinful. But if she says them, if she begins to act
on them, then she is sinful. So when you have negative thoughts, then let them remain thoughts.
Allow yourself to calm down, allow yourself to step away from people. So that in your space, you can
		

			calm down, avoid confrontation in a situation when you are angry. All right. Another example. For
instance, someone is very angry with their parents, all right, frustrated, you know, again, in their
head, you know, they're saying things like, off, they don't know anything off, so irritating, and
things like that. So again, these thoughts, please let them remain as thoughts do not act on them,
do not say them. Because once you bring these thoughts to your tongue, I write these statements to
your tongue. Once you act on them, then you are responsible. So when you're having negative
thoughts, then what should you do, go for a walk, go step away from people go take a shower, and
		

			come before the people that you're upset with when you are calm. Because especially when it comes to
your parents, you can't even say off to them, right? If you say off to your parents, if you raise
your voice at them, if you're harsh with them, then this is a sin and you are responsible. This is
something that is a sin in the sight of Allah. So these kinds of thoughts, learn to just keep them
in your head, don't express them. Now, what about therapy, sometimes in therapy, you know, of
course, if you don't express what you are feeling inside of you, then what's the point of therapy,
if you constantly have to filter etc, then you are not going to be able to get the help that you
		

			need. So one thing is that, you know, say what you feel not as a statement of fact, but as an
opinion in the sense that, for example, you can say, I feel at times that my parents are being
unfair. Okay. I feel at times that my parents are being unfair. This statement is fine. Okay. But if
you say something like, my parents are so unfair, this is wrong.
		

			Okay, because that is your judgment, that is your opinion, you understand? So create a layer of
separation between yourself and negative thoughts. And you can create that separation how? By saying
something like, at times I feel or I feel I'm having the feeling that such and such, okay? Don't
express it as a statement of fact, all right, don't give your judgement to say my parents are
unfair, this is a judgment to say that my husband is a horrible man, this is a judgment, okay,
you're stating it as a statement of fact. So, be careful about this all right. So, these are you
know, one category of thoughts. Now, there is another category of thoughts and these thoughts are
		

			thoughts that become Rasm. Azzam is determination, right, where you have the intention to do
something, okay. It's not just an idea, all right. It's not just a thought that comes and goes, No,
you think about it, and now you're planning how to do it what to do when to do alright, this is
awesome. So when a person intends to do something wrong, or they intend to do something good, now
this is an intention for which there is either reward or punishment. Okay. So in Hadith we learned
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah azza wa jal says that if my slave intends to
do a bad deed, intense just the intention is there. The Azzam, the irata is there, all right? Then
		

			Allah subhanaw taala tells the angels that do not write it down, unless he does it. If he doesn't,
then write it as it is. But if he refrains from doing it for my sake, then write it as a good deed.
Subhan Allah, He will be handy if a person intends to do something bad. So for example, you have the
intention, firm intention, okay, but the moment you see someone that you're mad at, all right, and
you've been thinking in your head, what you're going to say to them, how you're going to yell at
them, the moment you see them, you have the intention, you're going to give them a piece of your
mind. But then what happens after about an hour, you're like, No, I think I'm overreacting or this
		

			is not the best way to deal with the situation, I have to deal with it in a more responsible way, in
a better way, so that, you know, I have a better outcome. And you change your mind you decide not
to, for example, yell at them. You intend to commit a sin, for instance, and then you realize this
is wrong. This is something not permissible. This is something that Allah subhanaw taala has clearly
forbidden, I should not do it. So Allah subhanaw taala tells the angels, that if my slave intends to
do a bad deed, then don't write anything down. If he does it, then write one syndrome. And if he
leaves, it changes his mind does not do it for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala then write that as a
		

			good deed. Can you imagine it started out with a bad thought, write a bad idea, bad intention to do
something sinful. And then you realize, and you change your mind, you end up getting a good deed
Subhan Allah. On the other hand, the Hadith continues. If he intends to do a good deed, and does not
do it, then write a good deed in his account. And if he does it, then write it for him in his
account as 10 Good deeds up to 700 times. Allahu Akbar. This is a Hadith from Sahih Bukhari. So when
you oppose your UNOPS, when you discipline it, remember, this is something that is very dear to
Allah. And especially when it comes to our thoughts, sometimes, you literally have to battle against
		

			them, not just for a second, not for a minute, at times for days, you have to battle against them.
You know, you feel surrounded by these thoughts where you feel like you cannot get out of them. And
remember that the fact that you recognize that these thoughts are unhealthy, or that these thoughts
are not good, that itself is an evidence of your Eman. This is good news of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam told us, right? So don't hate yourself for such thoughts. And remind yourself that
Alhamdulillah this is all that shaitan can do. He can only put negative thoughts, that's all that he
has the power to do. All right, Alhamdulillah the Chatbot can only do that he cannot do anything
		

			beyond that. Alhamdulillah and always try to create a layer of separation between yourself and
negative thoughts and if you have a bad idea
		

			To, you know, to say something or to do something bad, then change your mind when you realize that
this is wrong, then seek forgiveness from Allah azza wa jal and Allah subhanaw taala will write that
as a good deed for you. Now, in a hadith we learned, and this hadith different versions of it have
been reported in different books of Hadith. There's a version Sahih Muslim, that we learned that a
Buddha called the Longhorn who, he reported that when this idea was revealed that the law he
manifests in my YT when I fill up, we're in Tobu, Murphy and fusi come out to who you have SIP Combi
Hila fail Filoli mania shot where you're at the Bermeja sha Allah who are locally che included when
		

			this idea was revealed the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam felt it very hard.
And they came to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, and literally sat on their knees and they said,
O Messenger of Allah, we were assigned some duties which were within our power to perform. We were
commanded to pray, we prayed. We were commanded to fast we fast, we were commanded to do jihad. And
we do that we were commanded to give sadaqa we do that. But now this idea has been revealed to you.
And this matter is beyond our power. Meaning, the thoughts that we have in our hearts, they are
beyond our control, we can't control them. And so they expressed the burden that they felt that we
		

			don't know how we can control our thoughts, especially mafi and fuzzy community. The reason why you
conceal some thoughts is because they're not appropriate to express. But if Allah can hold us, if
Allah can call us to account for what we conceal in our hearts, what do we do? You can't exactly
yank out a bad thought from your heart. You don't have control over it. You wish you could, but you
don't have that. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Do you want to say what the people
of the two books said before you the people of the book? What did they say? We learned earlier in
Zulu, Bukhara? They said Samira Nawaz Lena, we hear and we disobey that yes, we know what Allah has
		

			said, but we're not gonna do it. The prophets of Allah who already said I'm set to the Companions
You should rather say, Samira, now we're Athar. Now who franja qurbana were illegal mislead that we
hear and we obey, we seek forgiveness Our Rob and unto you is the return. In another version of
Hadith we learn the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told them to say so mirror now what Adorno was alumna
that we have heard and obeyed and we have submitted ourselves. So the Companions, they said, Samir,
now will Athar know from Nicaragua. Now we're illegal mislead. And when they kept repeating the
statement, that era we hear and we obey, and we ask You for Your forgiveness. And our Lord to you is
		

			the return we cannot run away from you when they said this over and over again. And the statement
flowed smoothly from the tongues of the companions. Allah subhanaw taala revealed the following two
verses and what are these verses? Amma Nova Sulu Bhima on Zilla la humilde Rapi well me known, the
messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. Allah
subhanaw taala attests to their faith. Quinlan am Anna Billa he will Mala Iike T we're going to be
where we solely learn Ofori Kobina I hadn't met Rosalie Allah subhanaw taala praises their Eman that
all of them have believed in Allah and His angels and his books and his messengers, saying that we
		

			do not differentiate between any of the messengers will call you Samira. Now we're Alterna and they
said, We have heard and we have obeyed all Franciacorta been our illegal mislead your forgiveness we
seek our Lord unto you as the destination and then Allah subhanaw taala revealed the following Gaya
law you can live Allahu nipson Illa was Arha la hamaca Sabbath, y la hammock, the Sabbath and then
some doors are mentioned Robin Allah to a hidden in the Siena Oh o'clock now, and when they recited
when the Companions recited these verses, and they recited this Dora that our Lord do not punish us
if we forget or if we make a mistake, Allah subhanaw taala said Neram Yes, In another Hadith we
		

			learn Allah's parenthesis but fall to I have done so. Meaning Yes, I will not punish you. If you
forget or if you make a genuine mistake when they prayed or a banana Willa Tamela Elena Islam Kumar
Hamilton who are Latina and Commelina our Lord do not lay on us a burden like that which you laid on
the people before us. Allah subhanaw taala said narrow Yes, I will not do so. Let fall to I have
done so as an I have accepted your door. I will not burden you with something that the people before
you were burdened with. And when they recited Robina Willa to Hamel, Nirmala taka
		

			The learner be our Lord. Do not put on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear. Allah
subhanaw taala said click lol do I have done so? When they said we're fine now we'll fill in our
Hamner. Antimo Lana, from sunnah our little colonial caffine when they prayed for forgiveness, Allah
subhanaw taala said cutfile to. So this means that, yes, Allah azza wa jal is fully aware of what we
keep in ourselves and what we reveal. And yes, he has the power and the right to hold us responsible
for our thoughts and intentions. But out of his special favor, on the OMA have Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, Allah has pardoned us for what we keep in our hearts. And Allah will only hold us
		

			responsible for what we say with our tongues and what we do with our limbs. So, the Allah ma say
that this idea, Leela Hema for Samoa to muffle Otto into MFI and fusuma to Julio Hasebe Combi Hila.
This idea has been abrogated by the following two verses, because in this aisle, we are told that
Allah will call you to account for what you conceal in yourselves, right. But then in the next two
verses, we learned that this will not happen. So somewhat really messy, that this is abrogated,
other alumni say that it is not abrogated, and what is meant by you Hasebe comb is not necessarily
your octave come that he will punish you. Okay. Calling someone to account does not necessarily mean
		

			that person will be punished, rather what that means is that the person will be questioned, right?
And then it is up to Allah, Allah can punish or Allah can forgive, as we learn in Hadith, that on
the Day of Judgment, a man will be brought to his Lord, and Allah subhanaw taala will in avail him
in the sense that nobody will be able to know or hear what is going on. And then in that privacy,
Allah subhanaw taala will make that person confess his faults and loss. Pantai will ask him, do you
recognize this? And the man will say, Yes, My Lord, I recognize it. And Allah subhanaw taala will
ask him, did you do this? Did you do this? Did you do this? And the person will go on confessing and
		

			confessing and confessing. And then Allah will say, I conceal them for you in the world. I conceal
them for you in the world and think about it. Negative thoughts, bad ideas, bad feelings, horrible,
horrible thoughts. All right. As long as they stay in the heart, they're concealed. And you can only
conceal them if Allah subhanaw taala enabled you to conceal them. Because some people are very
impulsive. A word comes in their head, they say it a thought comes they say it, they have no self
control. And some people Subhanallah you have no idea what battles they're fighting inside with
themselves. You have no idea how much they're struggling inside. Allah knows. And Allah helps them
		

			conceal all of that. So Allah will say to that person, I conceal them for you in the world, and
today, I forgive them. And then that person will be given his book of deeds in his right hand. And
this is the believer, who will be then sent to Paradise, Allahu Akbar. And in sort of the hedges, I
have 47 We learn Allah subhanaw taala says regarding the people of paradise that one Czarna Murphy's
saluting him in reelin if one and Allah Surah remota carboline. And we will remove whatever is in
their chests of resentment. You know, sometimes you have resentment for someone that you are trying
to take out of your heart, but you are not able to. Yes, you don't say it. Yes, you know, you try
		

			your best to be polite and nice and everything but that resentment is there. It's like, deep in your
heart and you want to take it out, but you will not able to. So we learned that on the Day of
Judgment, Allah will remove all of that resentment. So their hearts will be clean. And so they will
enter paradise as brothers all believers will be like brothers in the comfortable with each other,
no hatred, no animosity, no ill feeling for one another. And they will be able to face each other
with the cobbling because when you have resentment for someone, right hurt after hurt after hurt,
disappointment after disappointment after disappointment, then, you know, you kind of tell yourself
		

			that fine, I'm just going to stay away from this individual. I just don't like them anymore. Right.
And you know, sometimes the resentment that you develop in your heart for someone, sometimes it's
because of you know the actions of the other individual right, and sometimes the other person has no
idea or things are beyond their control their ability you expected
		

			A great deal from them. And so there was disappointment. All right. So the point is that you have
resentment in your heart. And if you have it and you're trying to take it out, you're not able to
Allah subhanaw taala will remove that before admitting the believers into paradise. Now, this is not
a pass that now you can keep all wrong thoughts and ideas, dwell in your heart, you can let them
stay in your heart. No, we should challenge negative thoughts, we should not dwell on them. And we
should seek refuge with Allah subhanaw taala. And we should ask Allah subhanaw taala to cleanse our
heart. And when there is, you know, an obsessive negative thought, then we should seek help in order
		

			to learn how to manage those thoughts. And there's so many ways, and hamdulillah there's so many
ways that are effective actually, in learning how to manage these negative thoughts, especially if
these thoughts become, you know, obsessive, they keep coming back again and again and again. And
it's necessary to learn to manage these thoughts, because eventually thoughts affect behavior,
right? So for example, if you keep repeating in your head that my husband is a horrible man, my
husband's a horrible man, he's so this he saw that, then what's going to happen? You're going to
believe this to your core, and it's going to impact how you interpret your husband's actions and his
		

			words, and eventually, you know, it's going to affect your behavior also, you're eventually going to
say something, you're eventually going to treat him in a way that is wrong. Right and not just your
husband anybody in sort of Mohammed i a 29. We learn um, has he been Latina feel Kulu be him
Maradona, Alain, Johan Julia, who are the one at home or do those in whose hearts as disease think
that Allah will never expose their feelings of hatred. So if there is feelings of hatred that we are
in holding very dear in our hearts, and we are feeding every day, and we are not learning how to
manage those feelings, then what's going to happen eventually they will be exposed. So cleanse your
		

			heart and fear Allah in regard to what you keep in your heart. Right? Challenge negative thoughts.
And you know, other people's behavior is not in your control. What is in your control is yourself.
And remember that on the Day of Judgment, the Day of Judgment is a day when yo Malaya and Pharaoh
Murwillumbah noon 11 at Allah hubby Kelvin sadeem It is the day when wealth and children will not
help a person. The only thing that will help a person is their sound heart. And what is the sound
heart, it will claim says that a sound heart is the heart that is free of Schick free off
resentment, free of spite, free of jealousy, free of selfishness and pride and love of the world and
		

			love off power and authority. So it is free of every calamity that distances it from Allah, and from
every doubt that contradicts what Allah has informed off from every desire that opposes the Command
of Allah, and it is free of everything that could cut it off from Avila xojo. So to keep our heart
sound, we need to seek the help of Allah, what is a Luca Kelburn Salema or Allah, I ask you for a
sound heart. And there must be some kind of self accountability, that you monitor what's going on in
your heart, you see what's happening in there. And if there is a bad negative thought you seek
refuge with Allah, you ask Allah subhanaw taala to cleanse your heart. All right. And we learn about
		

			this idea that, you know, the Sahaba they felt, you know, when they learned about this, if they felt
fear, they were worried that how can we bring ourselves to conform with what this is teaching us
that? How can we ever have control over what we conceal in our hearts in it, we would like to manage
it, but we don't have full control. And this shows that as long as you're striving as long as you
are doing what is within your power to manage these negative thoughts at hamdulillah Al Hamdulillah.
This is a good sign right now, when the Sahaba expressed their fear, perhaps you know this is
something that we can also relate with. In South Dakota we have learned many commands related to you
		

			know, not just marriage and divorce but also food. And then towards the end of the sutra, we also
learned about commands related to interest, halal income, right. And as we learn about these
commands, any we know that we're supposed to follow them but
		

			At times a person feels a kind of fear or hesitation that how is this going to be possible for me,
this is too hard.
		

			So, you know, for instance, if a person is, you know, their finances are mixed with interest, for
example, in whatever way and they realize that, you know, they need to get rid of interest they need
to leave it because Allah subhanaw taala has declared war against people who deal with interest, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he mentioned that you know, such people are cursed those who
take it those who give it those who bear witness to such a contract any all the people involved with
riba have been cursed. But look at your personal financial situation, you're like, how am I supposed
to get rid of Riba? How is it ever going to be possible for me? I don't know. This is a little too
		

			difficult. So these other teaching is a very important lesson. It's normal to feel afraid. It's
normal to feel, you know, some kind of worry that how is this going to work for me? But the way we
respond is not with severe now where I say now that I have heard, but I'm going to disobey, no way
will your ear the biller? This should never ever be our response that I know but I'm not going to
follow. This is what the people of the books said. And this is something that we don't want to do.
The prophets of Allah who earlier said I'm taught us to say something different. And that is Samara.
Now will Alterna was alumna Samira now will alternate with Rana Cara bunna. Ye Lakin. Mostly, we
		

			have heard, we have obeyed and we have submitted ourselves. We hear we obey. We seek forgiveness. I
will rub ask Allah subhanaw taala for assistance. Don't criticize the commands of Allah. Some people
do that. They say, Oh, this is impossible. This is too difficult. You know, I could never do this.
Do not say such statements. When you hear a command of Allah, whenever that command is, and you have
some hesitation in your heart, you have some fear, some worry. First of all, express your submission
to Allah. And then ask Allah subhanaw taala for help. So be careful about what you say. Never say in
response to a command of Allah. This is impossible. I can't do this. This is not for me. Yes, I
		

			know. But I don't do it. Don't say such statements. And instead say statements like this Samira, now
will garner will francha Kalapana man now we'll set the kna we believe and we affirm it will be to
Billahi Raba I am pleased with Allah as my Lord say such positive statements.
