Then Allah subhanaw taala says we're in a herd Allah who meets up on the begin and recall when Allah took the covenant of the prophets mythique is from wealth off and mythique is a binding covenant meaning it is a covenant which has been made very strong by the taking of oaths. So it is a commitment made by both parties. Okay, so what is a herd? Allahu Meetha Cana begin here. It's the commitment that the prophets made. All right, and they took oaths, any they swore by Allah and they gave their word that they would abide by this. So Allah took the covenant of the prophets. Now this covenant of the prophets can either mean the covenant that Allah made with the prophets or the
covenant that Allah made about the prophets, okay? If it was the covenant made with the prophets, then that is easily understandable covenant about the prophets means that it was taken from their people. So Allah took the covenant of the prophets, and this means all prophets, what is the covenant that lemma Tayto commune Kitab Anwar Hickmott in that when surely whatever I give you off the Scripture and wisdom, so Majah a camera salon, then there comes to you a Messenger, and this messenger is such that he is Musa de Colima Mera Kaam he confirms what is with you, doesn't contradict you, you know believes in you, confirms that you are the Messenger of Allah, then what
are you going to do? Let me know Nabi he, then surely you will definitely believe in Him, meaning in the new messenger, what a tongue Sorona? Who and surely you will indeed help him as well meaning the new messenger. Now this verse is teaching us that Allah subhanaw taala took a covenant from every prophet, every single one of them from Adam or any sunnah until a Saudi Salaam. And what is this covenant? That Allah subhanaw taala took a pledge from them, that when Allah gives them the book, and the wisdom, so they acquire high grades, because of that, they have the book, they have wisdom, they have judgment, and then a messenger comes afterwards any during their lifetime, but after they
have received the book and wisdom from Allah, then what are they supposed to do with this new messenger? They're supposed to believe in him and support him. Why? Because all prophets are from Allah. And all prophets have the same mission, same goal, to call people to the worship of Allah alone. And as we learn in Hadith, all the prophets are like half brothers, right? So they are supposed to support each other, okay? That if a messenger comes to you in your life, then you are going to believe in that messenger, you're going to support him, you're going to join hands with him, you're not going to oppose him, you're not going to ignore him. You must work together and has
an adversity and also Qatada both said that Allah took the pledge from the prophets that they would believe in each other. And this is why we see that for example, when we started his Saddam came, then your hair to his son. What did he do? He believed in reciting his sunnah he confirmed his truthfulness. Right? We learned in Surah Yaseen about how Allah subhanaw taala sent two messengers to a people, right, and when the people deny those two messengers, what happened Pharez Nabi Thalipeeth. We strengthen them with the third. So the third messenger that came he supported the two messengers who were already there. Right? He believed in them and he supported them. So every
prophet was supposed to believe in and support the prophet that would come in his lifetime. This is a pact that Allah subhanaw taala took from all of the prophets of Allah. Okay, let me know Nabhi he will attend sunnah. Now, there is another interpretation of this idea. And that interpretation is that every prophet was to believe in and support the Rasul. So Majah Cumbre Solon, who is this Rasul? This Rasul is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that they were to believe in and support Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if he were to come in their lifetime, okay? So for example, was already Salam, Allah subhanaw taala took a pledge from him, that if Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihe Salam
comes in your lifetime, then you have to believe in Him, and you have to support him. And this pledge was taken from every single prophet of Allah. Okay, all of them. Ibrahima. He said, I'm new, and he said, I'm adamant he said. He said, Listen, I'm Yusuf Ali Salaam is how Paris and Amir Kumari Sana.
Though there is Samsung Amanda Elisa, Zachary Allison I'm yeah Harrison all of the profits of last year at Cinna heroes our listener all of the prophets of Allah dos we know and also those whom we do not know off. Okay? So all of the profits basically we're commanded to follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if he were to come in their lifetime, because Muhammad said Allah Who are you send him is say you will be the leader of the prophets and say you the will of the Adam, the leader of the children of Adam, meaning all humanity. And our beloved, our best are the Longhorn, who said that Allah never sent a prophet but after taking his pledge that if Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam were sent in his lifetime, he would believe in him and support him. And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that if Musa was alive, then he would have to follow me. Right meaning he would have to follow the shittier off Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, let me know Nabil Wollaton sunnah. And we learned that when are you Sarnia Salam will return that he will also follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa salam. Okay, so why is this been mentioned? Because if the prophets were supposed to do this, then what do you think about the followers of the prophets? Because the people of the Scripture say things like, you know, yes, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam
is a messenger of Allah, but not for us. We have to follow our prophets we have to follow our Scripture. Know your prophets pledged to believe in and follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So you are supposed to do the same thing, right? And another interpretation is that this Meetha was actually taken from the people any Meetha newbiggin. The covenant of the prophets means covenant about the prophets. Okay? Meaning, Allah subhana wa Tada took this pledge from all people about the prophets of Allah, meaning you owe people when Allah gives you a scripture and wisdom, how would Allah give scripture and wisdom to a people through a profit? All right, like for example, the hood
have the toe rot, right, then assala have injeel and then they have wisdom derived from the teachings of the prophets. Now, when the messenger sallallahu alayhi, wa sallam comes Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam comes Musa del Colima Mera Kaam. And he confirms what is with you, and he says, The rotten Jesus from Allah, then you have to believe in Him, and you have to help him you cannot turn away from Him, you cannot reject him. Right. Now there is a question. When was this Mitaka taken? When was his pledge taken? It is said that this pledge was taken at the same time as the Earth Aleste. Okay, there are the Aleste it is mentioned in SOTL Aarav. It is basically the covenant
that was taken from people about who their Lord is Allah subhanaw taala took the souls of all people. All right. And this pledge was taken from all people that allow us to build up people. Last month I asked them that, am I not your Lord? And everyone replied, Yes, You are our Lord. So at the same time, this pledge was also taken, or it is also said that this pledge was taken in the world, and each profit was made to take this pledge through Revelation. So what it offered Allahu Mitaka begin Lama Arteta community Tabin were hikma. Now, this word lemma is very interesting here lemma can mean different things. Okay. One meaning of lemma is surely what? And I believe that is what you
have in your translation as well. Is it lemma Arteta community Tabin, where hikma what is the translation of lemma? Surely what seemed lemma? Surely what? Meaning whatever I give you, surely, whatever I give you of book of scripture of wisdom, meaning no matter what it is, no matter how great it is, no matter how much it is, any, of course, the Jews, they have a lot of reverence for the tow dots. Right? So no matter what it is that I've given you, surely whatever it is, that I have given you, a hit of scripture of wisdom, and then comes the Messenger of Allah Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you must believe in him and you must follow Him. You cannot say no, we already
have a scripture. We already have wisdom and we don't need you know, your prior knowledge should not prevent you from believing in and following and supporting the messenger SallAllahu Orta. He was similar. And in this is a very important lesson. Sometimes. Some people can feel arrogant about the knowledge that they have. And it makes them so arrogant that they refuse to learn more, or they refuse to learn from someone else. This is wrong. No matter what you have, no matter how great it is, no matter what you have studied, no matter who you are.
Have you ever studied from no matter how many books you've memorized? No matter who you think you are, when the messenger of Allah comes when the truth comes, then you must believe and you must follow you must support the truth. Then another interpretation of lemma is a lemma means li Edgley because of any because of what I have given you of Scripture and wisdom, then when the new messenger comes through merger accom Rasulullah, Musa de Colima miracle lotto minnow la vie, because you have the Scripture already, so you must believe in the final messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam because your scripture mentions is coming and when you already believe in Scripture, then you must
believe in the new scripture that has come when you already believe in Prophet hood, then you must believe in the new prophet that has come. You are most worthy of believing in the new messenger and you're most worthy of supporting his cause. Let me know Nabi wala Tong Soluna you will surely indeed you must believe in him and you must help him and let me know maybe he will attempt surana any you have to help his cause any in conveying the message in striving? Let me know Nabhi he will come sooner. And we see that you're here to his salon. He believed in reciting Salam and supported him. So when this pledge was taken, Allah subhanaw taala said Carla, a Quran tomb. Allah subhanaw taala
said a Quran Tom, have you acknowledged a cartoon is from Paul Ferrara a crore is to acknowledge to accept any do you acknowledge this covenant? Will you abide by it? Do you accept? Will you believe in the new messenger in the final messenger when he comes? Will you help him? Will you support him? What a Hussam and have you taken? Meaning do you take Isla dally calm over? That is three my commitment meaning do you accept this responsibility? Do you take the weight of this responsibility? And he this is something serious? Are you ready for this will a husband Allah daddy chemistry now is sorry, my epistle is is from the root letters Hamza Sodre. And it's a means our covenant promise,
okay. And literally the word is what is used to refer to a load, okay, any heavy load that is basically a burden. Okay. So when the word is what is used for a commitment, then it means that any you're not free, there are certain things that are binding on you, you cannot proceed as you please, you must abide by what you have committed to. So A has done Isla de Alikum is three, have you taken my binding responsibility, meaning the responsibility that I have put on you that I have laid on you, this is from Allah. And this statement shows us the seriousness of this covenant. You know, for example, when you ask someone to do something, and you explain to them what they have to do, and
they say, yes, yes, this sounds very interesting. You ask them, Are you sure about this? Are you ready to do this? So why would you say something like that, because you want to make sure that they are committed? Right? When you go somewhere, you know, you want to sign up for something, you make a commitment that you will make the payments for example, you give the signature in one place, and then you give it another place and you give it another place one signature after the other, you know, so many conditions that you have to agree to. So they want to make sure that you know what you're getting into. And they want to make sure that you realize this is serious business. You can't
just walk out you can't just quit halfway I call it a curato a customer Allah Alikum is sorry. So who is you all referring to according to one interpretation, this is referring to the prophets. And according to the other interpretation, this is referring to the followers of the prophets meaning different among different nations. Although a Corona they said we have acknowledged the prophets of Allah said we have acknowledged or there are people said, we have acknowledged we said we have acknowledged all the fish who Allah subhanaw taala said foreshadow, Then bear witness will and Mr. kamin Ushahidi, and I am with you among the witnesses. So bear witness, that you have acknowledged
this, and I am also among the witnesses. Now, let us see what you do. Did the prophets of Allah abide by this covenant? Absolutely, they did. All right, we see that even when the prophets of Allah who are using them was taken on the night journey, he led the prophets of Allah in prayer. They didn't say that. No, you came after us. How can you be our Imam? No, he was their email. Right when Allah subhanaw taala sent to prophets to Ikaria to eternal
On and at third prophet was then sent, they believed in Him, they accepted him, right or he started his Sam. When he came here he'll his salon believed in him, supported him. So the prophets of Allah fulfilled this responsibility. What about the nations of the prophets, that the burden is on us? Right? And Alhamdulillah that Allah subhanaw taala has guided us to Islam, to believe in all of the prophets of Allah. And this is not something small this is a huge favor of Allah. Allah fish huddle, we're an American militia he then so bear witness over each other and over yourselves, we're an American militia headin and Allah is sufficient as witness, remember that Fomento Allah BARDA Dannic
then whoever turns away after that any turns away among the followers of the prophets, because it is not conceivable that a prophet of Allah would turn away from a covenant that he has made with Allah. So, this is referring to the followers of the prophets that if they turn away after that, turn away from what from believing in the Rasul in the final messenger SallAllahu, alayhi wasallam for Allah ecomo fantasycon Then they are truly the defiantly disobedient they are the ones who are committing fiscal and fiscal is minor and major minor fiscal is to exit the bounds, right. So minor fifth is to commit a transgression, to commit a sin, to disobey to not abide by the limits. Okay, and major Fisk
is to exit Islam. So this is major Fisk that whoever turns away after that, from this covenant does not believe in the final messenger then such people are no longer Muslim. They're Facetune then in a set of a LEILA DE LA hiya boon, those who do not believe in the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then what do they want? A fellow Hira do further than Clara other than meaning is it other than Deen Allah the religion of Allah yerba Hoon, which they seek from Bauhinia believe is to seek piney? Why would they not believe in the final messenger? They want a religion that is different from the religion of Allah? Because the final messenger would bring what final messenger would bring
the religion of Allah so if they don't believe in the final messenger, that means they don't want the religion of Allah, O ye heard something else that they're seeking. And you know what, in this is actually an indication that any religion other than Islam is no longer and is not the religion of Allah? Yes, there was a time when following Torah and Injeel was the truth. But now that is no longer the case of Leila Dena Lahiya balloon, Wallah who is llama wild to him have submitted who has submitted Memphis summer what he will all those within the heavens and the earth, meaning whoever that is in the heavens, whoever that is in the skies, and whoever that is in the earth has submitted
to Allah. How have they submitted to Allah? The one will cover one willingly and unwillingly, the one with obedience will Cohan and under coercion. Thor is from flowering, and it has to show obedience. And basically it has to obey willingly. Somebody asks you to do something you say, Okay, I'll do it. Right? This is though, Cara is the opposite of that girl, is to obey under coercion, okay? And collar is actually to dislike, to begrudgingly do something. Meaning if you have the freedom, you wouldn't do it. You're only doing it because you're being forced. So we learn from this idea that everyone who isn't the heavens and the earth is submitting to Allah, willingly and also
under coercion. How so? Any? If you think about it, yes, the rest of the creatures they have submitted to Allah, but what about human beings, man for some it will odd includes human beings, all human beings and all human beings do not surrender to Allah. So, what does this mean? You see, one is to submit to Allah's commands, and the other is to submit to Allah as decrease. So there are those who submit to Allah's commands. Willingly. Allah subhana, Allah has commanded that we pray five times a day. So there are those who submit and then there are those people who do not submit to the commands of Allah but they do submit to the decrees of Allah and they submit by compulsion, any.
For example, a person does not believe in Allah but they fall ill. Allah has decreed that their body should be ill. Do they have any control over that? No, they don't. Allah has decreed that they should not be able to go somewhere. Allah has decreed that they should be born in a certain place, Allah has decreed that they should
should fall or they should you know get something or not get something Is it their will that prevails? No it doesn't whose will prevail, Allah's will prevail. So they have submitted to the decrees of Allah, the cada of Allah. Okay, so well who Aslam Osama Islam over here doesn't just mean Islam as the religion of Islam. This is in the linguistic sense, okay that surrendered submitted any they don't have choice okay so everything in the heavens and the earth has admitted to Allah willingly and also under coercion. So it's as if we are being made to think that how much will you try to avoid Allah? How much will you try to run away from Allah? You don't want to pray? Okay,
don't Can you breathe without the will of Allah? Can you do what you please unless Allah subhanaw taala enables you? You can't, you are under the control of Allah, the One will come on what you lay your Jeroen and yes Allah subhanaw taala gives people some kind of freedom in the world so they're able to do some things of course not everything but ultimately what lay your own to him they will be returned. They will be returned to Allah. They are not going to remain in the world forever. Insert the Varga 15 Allah subhanaw taala says what Allah He yes Judah men for sama what you will already Tawaran Wakarusa to Allah prostrate, whoever that is in the heavens and the earth willingly and also
under caution. Honey, if you yourself don't make such the, your body is in frustration to Allah, any it surrenders to Allah and your shadow. It lays down before Allah and you stand in arrogance, but the shadow is laying down before Allah in submission. So what is holding you back? Why are you being so arrogant? Subhan Allah of Allah de Nila hiya balloon. Allah subhanaw taala tells us all you say Amen Now Billahi we believe in Allah. Now call you say this is a command to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam but remember that when Allah subhanaw taala instructor's messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Quran. Then there are three types of hip hop three types of address. The
first type of hip hop address is that which is for him exclusively. And yes, there are verses in the Quran where Allah subhanaw taala addresses as messengers that Allah Who sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and what is mentioned there is exclusively for him, okay, then there are other verses in which the prophets of Allah who are Islam is addressed, but actually others are meant, okay? Like for example, do not be of those who doubt. Well, of course, he was never going to be of those who doubt through him, we are being told that you do not be in doubt. Then the third type of hip hop is that which is for the prophets of Allah who are Islam and also his Oma. Okay? And this idea is like that, that
even though the prophets of Allah who are it isn't it was being told to say this, we are also supposed to say this. Okay, so cool. I'm a nebula, we believe in Allah. WOMAN ON zilara Lena, and we believe in whatever that has been sent down on us, sent down on us meaning revealed to us through our messenger and what is it that has been sent down to us? The Quran, right? One our own zilara Allah Ibrahim, and we also believe in that which was sent down on Ibrahim was Ibrahim harness and I'm given a book we know that there are servi Ibrahim as mentioned in the Quran, Surah Ibrahim Oh Musa the scrolls or the scriptures of Ibrahim, and what were they exactly we don't know. But
certainly Ibrahima and Islam was given something well, my own Zilla Allah Ibrahim, what is smart eel? And also we believe in what was given to Ismar eel and his Salam. What is how were cool? Well as belt we believe in what was given to is How corny his sunnah. And we believe in what was given to Iacobelli his sin and we also believe in what was given to well as belt. The Israeli tribes us belt is the plural of cipt and cipt. You know, his grandson and US belt refers to the tribes of the Bani Israel, the 12 tribes of Bani Israel, and specifically the prophets among them. So whatever that was revealed to the prophets among the tribes of Bani Israel, we believe in that Wilma OTO, Musa Issa,
and we also believe in what Musa and your easterlies Salam were given OTA, this is different from unzila, any whatever they were given, this includes not just revelation, but also the miracles that were given to musante salaam, like the staff, the glowing hand, and the miracles that were given to recite his Sudan, which we have read in great length in the Surah. And we also believe in what one nubby human were given what was given to another human the prophets, meaning the rest of the prophets, middle of beings
from their Lord. So this is the position of the Muslims we believe in all of the prophets all revelation that Allah has given that Allah has sent land who funnily Kobina had the Minho we do not discriminate between any of them, we do not differentiate between any of them no further clues from foul cough the fleet is to differentiate, meaning we do not differentiate between any one of them. What is differentiation? What is the freak between the profits, that a person believes in some and disbelieves in others? No, we don't do this, the Al Kitab do this, where they believe in some prophets, but not all. We're not like that we believe in all of the prophets of Allah, when Allah
who mostly moon and we are to him when to submit, meaning we submit to Allah and if we submit to Allah, that means we believe in all of the prophets of Allah. So this is basically what we should say, you know, to the people of the book, when they refuse to believe in the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, then this is what we say that no, you don't believe we do. Well, may you but the label Islami dienen fillet Yoko Bella Mina, then Allah subhanaw taala says that whoever desires ye Batali, bow lainnya any whoever desires and seeks lair al Islami, dienen other than Islam as Dean as religion, and Islam over here means Islam the religion that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
taught the religion which is based on submission to Allah so whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, then Fela you Kabbalah Minho. It will never be accepted from him, any on the Day of Judgment, Allah will never accept that from him. You Kabbalah path but learn to accept, Allah will never accept it, Allah will never approve of it. And Allah will not reward that person for their efforts following your Kabbalah Minho. And you think about it Nene. Religion is what it's not just a set of beliefs, right? It's not just cognitive, religion also has a lot of action, a lot of effort, any teaches you what kind of outlook or perspective you have on life, right? But it also influences your
behavior, your actions, how you earn your wealth, where you spend your wealth, what you say what you eat, what you don't eat, right, there are so many rules that you observe. Now, in different religions, you see people observing different rules, some of which are very hard, right or either very strict affects their clothing, it affects their food and affects their daily activities. Subhan Allah, the some people because of their religion any day deprive themselves off worldly comforts, right? But imagine for all that effort fillet you cobalamin who it will never be accepted from him. No report. This is why we learn our Milla to nursery but that some faces on the Day of Judgment will
be Urmila to NASA, any they will be of people who have been working very hard, they will be fatigued, very tired, they exhausted themselves in the world, doing the wrong thing. doing the wrong thing for laying your Kabbalah Minho. So it will never be accepted from him. Stuff it Allah, can you imagine it's like, a person is preparing for an exam. Or, you know, they're studying for a program something and when they get to the actual exam, they realize nothing is familiar because they were studying the wrong book, the wrong book, imagine filling your cobalamin who or person is working somewhere and they're preparing a very, you know, lengthy report. And you know, they make graphs and
charts and Subhanallah you need to put in so much effort to put together the perfect report. But then when they submit it to their boss, they realize that's not what the boss asked for. Well, yes, good effort, but that's not what we need. Go do it again. But in the world, you have the chance to do it again on the Day of Judgment, there is no more chances. A person cannot go back to the world and say okay, now I know. So I will follow the right religion. No fillet yoke of Allah Minho, who will who will fill out Hera timolol ha serine. And he in the hereafter will be among the losers. He will suffer a great deal on the Day of Judgment, he will suffer a huge loss, a terrible loss. Why?
Because all of his life's effort will be wasted. How about a man Thora ashes blown away? Subhan Allah. So this shows us that Islam is the only religion that Allah will accept on the day of judgment. And Islam is submission to Allah. Right. And Islam is that Islam that Adam Rene salaam brought no honey Sandra Ibrahim Arneson. I'm also Alison Emery.
solicita Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam brought, which is basically to surrender to Allah. Right? We learned that in sort of Bukhara I 133 that jacobellis Adam asked his sons that what will you worship after me and they said, We will worship your God and the God of your fathers Ibrahim Ismail is helped ala Hawaii that one, Hula, hula Muslim on, we submit to Him. So Islam is submission to Allah, the Queen of Sheba. She said, a slum to Mara Sulaiman. There are below our limit even fit our own, what did he say? And I mean and Muslimeen. So Islam is submission to Allah. And what it means in each era is submitting to Allah in the way that the Prophet of Allah has shown. So after Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam What is Islam to submit to Allah in the way that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has shown? Not that a person holds on to that a lot and the NG So Al Islam over here means Islam in either religion of Islam as opposed to Yahoo the ordinance Rania Alma Yabba, the literal Islam Medina and Vallejo, cobalamin, who will who will accurate terminal Ha, serene. So this shows us that we should be grateful to Allah subhanaw taala for the blessing of Islam, and we should be pleased with Islam because this is the only religion that Allah Who will accept right we learn in a hadith in Sahih Muslim that they're called thermal Imani Monrovia Bella Helaba wobbel Islam Medina
will be Muhammad Rasul Allah, the One who is pleased with Allah as his Lord and with Islam as his religion and with Mohamed Salah who doesn't have as messenger such a person has tasted the flavor of Eman ne the sweetness of faith, who, the one who is pleased with Islam. And this also shows us that we have to take the Islam that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught not that we modify it after him, and that we invent things after him because anyone who invents something in the religion then the Prophet sallallahu Urdu said I'm set for who or I don't, it will be rejected. This hadith isn't cerebral haughty, and we should not move away from Islam. We should adhere to Islam, because
anything other than Islam will not be accepted on the Day of Judgment.
