Now the final two verses of Surah Baqarah, which were revealed in response to, you know what the companion said, when they felt fear after they learned about the idea that Allah can hold you accountable for what is in yourselves. Now these two verses are very special, sort of the Bacara it's itself is very special. And these verses from Surah Baqarah are even more special. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said it could an old Quran recite the Quran, because on the Day of Resurrection, it will come as an intercessor. For those who recite it. He said recite the two bright ones, it could Ozora Wayne recite the two bright ones, Al Baqarah and sudut earlier Imran because on

00:00:46--> 00:01:31

the Day of Judgment, they will come as two clouds or two shades or two flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. He said recite to other Bacala because to take recourse to it is a blessing. If you take the surah and you recite it, then this is a Baraka this is going to be a source of blessing for you. And to give it up is a cause of grief a cause of regret, and the magician's cannot confront it. Meaning if you recite total Bukhara this will be a defense for you against magic even. And the Prophet sallallahu earlier sent him also said do not make your houses as graveyards. shaytaan runs away from the house in which sutra Bacara is recited. So sudo Bukhara is

00:01:31--> 00:02:13

special. But these two verses from some other Bacara we learn in a hadith, that they are from a treasure trove beneath the Throne of Allah. The Prophet sallallahu already said I'm set to one of the companions that it could be ill I attainment Fe Surah Al Baqarah, recite the two verses from the end of Surah Al Baqarah, because indeed, I was given those verses from under the throne is a Hadith from Muslim dharma. And these two verses are actually very powerful. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the two verses from the end of SoTL Bacara are such that whoever recites them in a night, then these two verses will suffice him, they will suffice him, and what is meant by this,

00:02:13--> 00:03:01

that they will suffice him is that these two verses will serve as a protection for a person all night long, against the evil of sheltering against the evil off the devil's, some will Allah ma say that they will suffice him in terms of reward, that if you, for example, intend to pray in the night, okay, you know, pray the 100 in the night recite a certain portion of the Quran. And perhaps you have a habit of doing that, or perhaps you have the intention, a desire to do that, and you're not able to, but if you have recited these two verses, then you will get the reward of praying in the night SubhanAllah. And some say that what this means is that they will suffice him meaning for

00:03:01--> 00:03:46

forgiveness. All right, they will suffice him against his fears against his worries. So, the recitation of these two verses in the night is incredibly important. Make a habit, a habit, that before you go to sleep, you recite these two verses, you know, we have our nighttime routines, and some people have Subhanallah very elaborate routines and an entire skincare routine. So okay, you may be in your room, you know, applying one thing after the other on your face, maybe you're doing something with your hair, whatever it is that you're doing as you're doing it, ultra recite these two verses, because reciting these two verses is not only a means of protection, but a means of

00:03:46--> 00:04:37

forgiveness, a means of drawing closer to Allah, and a means of earning so much reward. We learned in a hadith that if a person recite these verses in a house, okay, for three nights than shaitan cannot come near that house. Wallah your Quran if he died in Philately Yellin for chroma has shaitan it's not possible for Shaitan to come near that house. And sometimes you notice this you know summer break has started in some places. The moment you know school is off what happens to kids constant bickering, constant fighting and then you know parents are yelling at the children Subhanallah honey can feel the presence of shape Han Solo recite these two verses in the night, okay. The night has

00:04:37--> 00:04:59

been mentioned specifically in the night. Also we learned that when you recite these verses and make dua that Dora is accepted. Why? Because like I mentioned to you know, when the Sahaba recited any portion of the doors that are mentioned in these verses, Allah subhanaw taala said could fall to cut fall too. So these are accepted doors. And in a hadith we learn

00:05:00--> 00:05:40

You're going to robust we'll do a little more into reported there's a hadith in Sahih Muslim, that while Gibreel was with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he heard a loud sound above him, he lifted his head and said, This is a gate that has been opened in the sky, which had never been opened before. And then when an angel descended through it, Gibreel said, this is an angel who has come down to the earth who had never come down before. And that angel came and greeted the Prophet salallahu Salam and said, Rejoice in two lights given to you which have not been given to any profit before you and what are these two lights Fatiha to Kitab Surah Al Fatiha and secondly, the

00:05:40--> 00:06:33

concluding verses of surah baqarah and it was said that learn the Quran or be heard of him in Houma, INLA or a pita, who you will never recite a letter from them for which you will not be given meaning any letter of these verses that you recite you will certainly be given a reward and also what this means is that any door that you make in these verses, these doors will be accepted. And after the recitation of these verses also if you make a door out that door out will be accepted. So fortify yourself fortify your thoughts, your mind your heart, your home, right what is the physical home that we live in, and then there is an internal home unit the heart that we have fortify that against

00:06:33--> 00:07:00

shaytaan fortify the people in your home your loved ones by reciting these verses every night make it a point to memorize them and recite them regularly. And especially since it is not hard to recite in the sense that it doesn't take long then make it a habit to do so. Let's listen to the recitation of these two verses or rather all of these three verses and then we'll begin at I've seen the last two if

at EB M A novela su Bhima en si la la Himmelfarb BP Well me known, the messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers Armineh from the root letters Hamza Meem noon Amen to believe. So am Anna he has believed who has believed Allah sown the messenger. So the messenger has believed and also at the end of the sentence, you can see the word well known and the believers, meaning the believers have also believed. So the word Amna, the pronoun and this is it includes both of Rasul and unmukt me noon, m n of a Zulu, the messenger has believed in what Bhima Anzhi La La he in what was revealed to him in what Allah subhanaw taala

00:09:48--> 00:09:59

revealed to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and mountain Zilla from the root letters known ze lamb to sent down and be my own Zi La La he in

00:10:00--> 00:10:52

What was revealed to him meaning to Muhammad Sallallahu already who was headland mill ropey from his Rob. So a Rasul is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and some orlimar say that it was soul can refer to every messenger. So every messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, meaning, he confirmed the truth of he believed and accepted, whatever was sent out to him from his Lord. And Iman doesn't just mean that you say you believe a man means that you accept it in your heart, you confirm the truth of something, and you declare that acceptance with your tongue, and then you show submission through your limbs. So Eman includes what

00:10:52--> 00:11:38

you believe in your heart. It includes what you say with your tongue, and it also includes your actions. So am I not Allah solo Bhima on ZTE lay in whatever was revealed to him and to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, of course the Quran was revealed. And other than that also, there were teachings that were given to the Prophet sallallahu are they he was setting them and be Matlin Zilla includes revelation, all of the Revelation. So whatever that Allah revealed, I'm gonna assume the messenger has believed in that well me known and the believers also have believed in whatever was sent down to the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam from his Lord couldn't learn mana couldn't

00:11:38--> 00:12:29

learn each meaning every one of them, all of them, the messenger and the believers, or all of the messengers and all of the people who believed in the messengers, they believe in who Billahi in Allah, wa Mala Ekata he and his angels were called to be he and his books were also the and his messengers. So Kunal Armineh, the raw soul and the McMinnville all believe. And this is a testimony from Allah azza wa jal over the truth, the sincerity of the belief of the prophets of Allah who organise and amend his followers, especially those believers who were present. When these ayat were revealed, and they are the Sahaba Radi Allahu Mourinho. Imagine Allah subhanaw taala is affirming

00:12:29--> 00:13:14

their Eman at the beginning of Surah Baqarah we learned that there are some people who say that we believe in Allah and the Last Day, but Allah subhanaw taala says about the woman whom we moved, meaning they're not believers at all. They're just saying it with their tongues. They're not actually believers, and those are the hypocrites. But when it comes to other people, a lot me known Allah subhanaw taala attests to their faith that yes, they have believed Armineh and then call on Amma two times it has been mentioned. So this shows us that the Sahaba have a special status because Allah subhanaw taala testifies to their faith. And they were a me known when these verses were

00:13:14--> 00:14:00

revealed. And this is shows us that we have to have respect for all of the companions of the prophets of Allah who already he was salam, all of them, not just some of them, but all of them, especially when Allah subhanaw taala has revealed in regard to them that they have believed and he has revealed in regard to them and sort of referred to 18 and into the Toba ir 100, that Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with them. Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with those believers who gave their pledge to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam under the tree and those who were first to believe, and first to, you know, my great and they also were unsalted. So Allah subhanaw taala is

00:14:00--> 00:14:51

pleased with them. And these verses were never followed up with, you know, an idea that said that Allah is displeased with the Companions, there is no ayah in the Quran in which we learned that Allah subhanaw taala is displeased with the companions. So quinolone Armineh, all of them have believed in Allah and His angels, and his books and his messengers, and they say that we do not discriminate between any of his messengers. So first of all, recognize what a huge honor this is that Allah subhanaw taala is attesting to the faith of the believers. Now, Allah subhanaw taala further elaborates what the messenger and what the believers believe in, they believe in first of

00:14:51--> 00:14:59

all, allah kalon Amma Anna Bella, and what does it mean to believe in Allah it is that we believe in his wudu in his existence

00:15:00--> 00:15:48

that Allah is there. We believe that he is the only one worthy of worship, we believe in his aloo here, right? And this means that we direct all acts of worship to Allah alone. Our such the our drop is still artha anyone we seek help all of that dedicated to Allah alone, our sadaqa our hope, our fear, all of this directed to Allah alone. believing in Allah Allah means that we believe in his little boo BIA that He alone is the Lord He alone is the Holic the Creator. Right, the bad it will sound weird Malik Muda, a bit more hemo meat right that he is the one who is the creator of the fashioner the one who will give shape and form to his creatures, the one who owns them, the one who

00:15:48--> 00:16:31

plans in regard to them and his decision regarding them prevails, he is the one who gives life he is the one who causes death. So we believe in all of the perfect names and attributes of Allah. So Kowloon Armineh villa, and they also believe when Mala Ekati and in His angels Mala ICA is the plural of the word Moloch Moloch is Angel. Now it is not enough to just believe in the angels that the angels exist. It is necessary that we believe what is correct about them. Because we learned that the people of Arabia when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was sent. They used to believe in the angels. However, some of them like for example, the tribe of Hazara they believed that the

00:16:31--> 00:17:19

angels are daughters of Allah. What are ya the biller into the Zuko fire? 19 we learn what jargon Mullah Ekata Alladhina Hungary battle Romani in Africa that they call them females, the Jews we learn in total Bukhara, of course they believe in the angels, but some of them they consider Gibreel to be an enemy. And we learned about that in the first Jews. And we learn about the Christians who literally worship you know, the Holy Ghost, the Latha, right. So anyway, our belief about the angels should be free off extremes. And it should be free of denial, any it's not correct to believe in some and deny others, or to go to extremes in regard to our belief in the angels that now we start

00:17:19--> 00:18:05

seeking the help of the angels. That's not something that we were taught. So we believe that the angels are the creation of Allah, they are servants of Allah, they do not disobey Allah, and they carry out whatever Allah subhanaw taala commands them. Right? And they constantly worship Allah, we believe in their existence, we believe in their innocence. They only do what Allah subhanaw taala commands them. So there is no concept of fallen angel. And we believe that the angels are honorable worshipers of Allah, the messengers of Allah, and we believe in all of them, each melon and we also believe in the deceit in the specific details that have been mentioned to us. For example, we

00:18:05--> 00:18:50

believe in all of the angels, right, but we also believe in Angel Jibreel in mica is Rafi right. So, common M and a biller, he wore Mala Iike t, what could to be here they also believe in his books cooktop is the plural of the word Kitab kitab. His book, and this is referring to his books, in Allah's books, the books that Allah has revealed, whatever books that they were, we believe that Allah is the One who revealed them and we believe in these books without any tarrif without changing any of them. And then what also the here they also believe in His Messengers whose messengers Allah's messengers, it also does the plural of the word Rasul, one who has been sent Rauzein lamb is

00:18:50--> 00:19:34

the root, so they believe in all of his messengers. Now, we do not know the details of all of the messengers of Allah, we don't know of even the names of all of the messengers of Allah or all of the prophets of Allah, or which Prophet was sent to which land because the Quran is not a book of history, Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned some details, some stories, but remember that there is of course more because as Allah subhanaw taala mentioned, and so it's not that all your 24 that were Inman omitted Illa Hala V handdyed. There is no community except that a warner passed in it. Allah subhanaw taala sent a warner to it. So we believe in all of the messengers of Allah. May Allah says

00:19:34--> 00:20:00

Peace and blessings be upon all of them. lannoo Federico Bane I hadn't met Rosalie, we do not differentiate between any of his messengers, LAN O'Farrell Coronavirus, coins from the root letters fair Rockoff and fun raka you further put the phrase is to separate all right between things. And to separate between the messengers means that a person

00:20:00--> 00:20:45

believes in some of them all right and not all of them okay. So from the group of the messengers a person says yes I believe in so and so and so and so and so and so but not so and so. Okay. This is differentiating between the messengers discriminating between them all right. So the believers whose Eman Allah subhanaw taala is praising over here, they are those who do not differentiate between any of the messengers of Allah meaning they believe in all of the messengers of Allah in Surah, two Nyssa 150 and 151 Allah subhanaw taala says in Alladhina, karuna Bella he will rosary he will you read una au For recombine Allah he will Rosalie that those people who disbelieve in Allah and His

00:20:45--> 00:21:29

messengers and they want to differentiate between Allah and His messengers, and they say, We believe in some and we disbelieve in others, Allah subhanaw taala says in regard to such people will let equal caffeine on a hot car. Those are real disbelievers. Those are truly disbelievers any, there is no doubt about these people being disbelievers. In actuality, such people are not believers, who say, we believe in some prophets and not others. So remember, when it comes to belief in the prophets, this is literally black and white, either a person believes in all of them, or none of them. So if a person believes in some messengers, and not all, then this is not Iman, this is Cofer,

00:21:30--> 00:22:13

because what is required from us is that we believe in all of them. Why? Because denying you in one messenger means denying the *tier that he brought, denying the message that Allah subhanaw taala sent him with, and that is basically rejecting Allah azza wa jal. We learned into the Sharada I have 105 that could the palmu handle mursaleen that the people of New Orleans Salem denied the messengers, whereas if you think about it, no, Hudson was the first messenger. There was no messenger before him, and he was the messenger sent to his people. So how could the people of know hey, listen, I'm denied the messengers would not even come yet because they denied new Herlihy

00:22:13--> 00:22:57

center. So remember, denying even one messenger is a problem, huge problem. And in Surah, Nisa, I have 136 We learn will maniac for biller he will Mullah equal to you will code to be he will also Lee will yo will ask him *a de la la la la la Merida. whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the last day than such a person has gone far away in misguidance in solitude is 17 we learn when maniac for behavioral zappy for now the Maori do whoever disbelieves in him in who in Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam among the various groups of people, whoever disbelieves in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for now do more evil than the fire is his

00:22:57--> 00:23:44

promised police. In a hadith return this hadith Sahih Muslim, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said by him in whose hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst the community of Jews or Christians, here is about me, but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent with and dies in the state of disbelief that such a person shall be of the inhabitants of health. So Landru Farrell Cobain and I had him illusory. The Quran is very clear the prophets of Allah who already has and it was also very clear about this matter that Eman is not valid unless and until a person believes in all of the prophets of Allah, including reciting his sunnah, including Muhammad

00:23:44--> 00:24:31

sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now this idea so far, whatever we have learned, it covers all of the pillars of Eman, belief, and Allah has mentioned belief in His angels, books, messengers, but we learn in the famous Hadith Gibreel that when the Prophet sallallahu Bredesen was asked about what Eman is, he said that you believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the last day, and that you also believe in Elkader divine decree. So where are they mentioned? These two pillars of faith, Divine Decree, and they have judgment. They're mentioned in the following statement. We'll call you Samira. Now we're Aparna and they say we hear and we obey. This is what belief in divine

00:24:31--> 00:24:59

decree that whatever Allah decrees, we accept it, we submit to it, and believe in the hereafter is in the words bullfrog. Nicaragua, la can mislead, we beg your pardon our Lord to you is the destination we have to return to you. So the return to Allah is what believing in the hereafter. Now believing in Kedah is to accept all of the decrees of Allah, whether they are the religious commands, meaning the commands that are related to

00:25:00--> 00:25:46

worship or decrees related to our lives, that for instance, we should fall ill or someone in our family falls ill or that someone in our family has a certain health condition. And because of that our life has completely changed, whatever is happening, okay? Sometimes these changes come so suddenly that you are just left in complete shock and it's difficult to recover, to manage to function in your new reality. So believing in other means that whatever is happening, whatever is coming my way, my circumstances, this is all by the decree of Allah. So I accept it, and I will do whatever my Lord has commanded me to do. I do not object to my Lord's decision. Now what Carlos

00:25:46--> 00:26:35

Samira, now will Alterna they say we hear and we obey who says this the real believers they say we hear and we accept we obey Samara Anna is from see me mine summer to hear a foreigner from Flora obedience Paulo I thought now summer and flora remember these are two necessary aspects of faith, summer is to listen and listening is not just with the ears, listening includes comprehension and acceptance that a person understands what they have heard, all right, and then they also accept it and thorough obedience has what to obey to actually do it. So for example, in salute to Buckler so far, we have learned about many commands. Yes, we have heard them with our ears, but the question

00:26:35--> 00:27:22

is, have we understood them? And then have we just heard and understood or are we also going to Athar now we're also going to show obedience. So these are necessary aspects of faith that we listen, understand, accept, and then actually surrender actually show obedience. Remember, there are three types of people. Okay? There are those people who neither listen nor obey, okay? They don't want to listen. They don't want to learn, they don't want to bother. Secondly, there are those people who listen, but they don't obey. For example, in total, Bukhara and 93. We learn that Carlos Amir Nawaz Cena, they said we have heard and we have disobeyed. So they learn the year. Perhaps they

00:27:22--> 00:28:06

understand, but they mock. They arrogantly refuse and such people become Makayla Dube earning him they earn the Wrath of Allah those who know yet they disobey. Okay, they become an MK Dube or lay him those who earn the Wrath of Allah. The third type of people are those who listen and obey and these are the believers and for such people is success in total Arza 71 Allah says Wilma yielder Allah Allah Sula, who Faqad Faza foes and our Lima the one who will be is Allah and His Messenger, then such a person has attained a great success. So Samir, know what Aparna, this is what we should say we hear and we obey any command of Allah that you learn about? Yes, it's not always going to be

00:28:06--> 00:28:55

easy to understand or to act upon, but your first response should be, this is from my Lord. Allah has said, I surrender. I surrender. I accept the messengers of Allah who already know send them instructed of this I accept, I surrender. And then look at this beautiful word will franak Your forgiveness, any we beg your forgiveness. You see who Ferghana This is two words all from forgiveness, from the letters Elaine Falbo and curfew, your as an Allah azza wa jal, your forgiveness. It hasn't been said. Ness Iluka of Ronak. Either we ask You for Your forgiveness. It's implied over here. Why? Why hasn't it been said because it shows our desperation. Okay. So for

00:28:55--> 00:29:41

instance, when you are very thirsty, okay, very thirsty. Are you going to say a long sentence? May I please have some water? No, you're just going to say water. Right? When you are desperate for something, you are very eager for something, you just say the thing that you want. So who franak Your forgiveness in era we beg you for your forgiveness? Or a banana Our Rob, we beg your forgiveness what you like and mercy and to you as the final destination? Why are we asking for forgiveness over here? Because Allah subhanaw taala said fail if you're only making a shot while you're at the Romanian shop, then he can forgive whomever he wants and he can punish whoever he

00:29:41--> 00:30:00

wants. So we see his pardon for what for Murphy and fusina what we keep in our hearts right what is concealed in ourselves and we also seek forgiveness for what for our shortcomings when it comes to Samir nella Aparna, right? If we're on

00:30:00--> 00:30:47

So without ourselves we look at our condition when it comes to for example our Salah we learn about you know at the beginning of Soto Baca winner Alladhina up Munna Sana those who established the salah Are we really establishing salah if we're really honest with ourselves we know that our obedience is not where it should be. Right? It's not how it should be. So we cannot be perfect we can only strive for perfection but we cannot be perfect. And we reach perfection how or excellence how with Allah subhanaw taala this forgiveness because remember the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that none of you can enter paradise through his good deeds. What does that mean? Your

00:30:47--> 00:31:40

deeds can never be perfect. Okay, such that you definitely deserve paradise you cannot enter paradise with your perfect good deeds. You don't have the ability to be perfect, you cannot reach command. All right, you can only reach command perfection or excellence completion how with Allah subhanaw taala has forgiveness. This is why we see over here that Samara now will Athar no franak with obedience is too far with obedience, we're seeking forgiveness. And these two things obedience and seeking forgiveness go hand in hand, the ruler might say that when a person increases in his obedience, his seeking forgiveness also increases. All right, and we are taught in so many verses in

00:31:40--> 00:32:24

the Quran. For example, the verses about Hajj that you know as you are performing the different rituals of Hajj then seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala right. A few lumen Hazel, a Falco nurse was staff it Allah seek forgiveness from Allah, during Hajj, any you are doing something so big if you think about it, you have left your home you have spent so much money you are making such a huge sacrifice you're going where Allah subhanaw taala has commanded you to go. You are doing what Allah Subhana Allah has commanded you to do. And still Allah subhanaw taala says seek forgiveness. Yes, when you end your Salah What do you do you say a Salam or aleikum wa rahmatullah a cinema

00:32:24--> 00:33:12

aleikum wa rahmatullah Allahu Akbar a staph, it Allah a stockfeed, Allah a still fit Allah, you seek forgiveness, if you pray in the night, at the end of the night is the time of Sahel and Allah subhanaw taala says regarding that will be as hardy homea stuff you don't at that time they seek forgiveness, that is the time when we seek forgiveness. And how can a person find that time if a person has been awake, worshipping Allah in the night. So this is an indication that at the end of night worship, there should be as the Father.
