			Ramadan
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			is the month of the Quran.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:14
			Allah azza wa jal says, shuffle Ramadan and very on Xena V Hill for put them in NAS are they united
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			on
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:27
			the month of Ramadan is when the Quran was revealed guidance for people and clear proof of guidance
and the criteria.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:01:28
			The Prophet Mohammed salatu salam used to sit with Gibreel are they he said, to review the Koran
every Ramadan since the time of the companions with one oh, here are the Muslims have used this
month, the month of Ramadan, to draw closer to the Koran to deepen their relationship with the Koran
and often reading it from cover to cover. If not once and even several times in this blessing month,
but more importance than the quantity. The number of times you finish the course and or how much you
read more important than that is the quality of your reading. This is guidance. A lot of those words
weren't reveal adjust to sound pretty. They were meant to be understood and put into action. There
		
00:01:28 --> 00:02:15
			is absolutely no substitutes for understanding the Arabic of the court and to know what your Creator
said to you through the exact words that He spoke. But not everyone is able to access the core and
its original Arabic. Many of us come and attend to Tada we prayer and we wish that we could
understand what a loss of Hannibal Tada is saying. So this Ramadan, we will be using the full
clothes to bring those folks along to take a journey through the core and looking at the core and
piece by piece of reflecting on some of the main themes and essential points that Allah azza wa jal
wants us to understand.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			Everyone knows that Allah azza wa jal begins or an Masuda is in fact in
		
00:02:22 --> 00:03:09
			Surah 230 is a miracle it's like a tiny version of the entire Quran by itself. Allah azza wa jal
says of how you believe that it opened on Amin Hamdulillah. Allah begins with gratitude, a short of
what how gratitude is the foundation of all faith worship, Allah Inada is simply expressing our
gratitude. It's a way of saying thank you. And if you don't feel grateful to Allah subhana wa Tada
it will be difficult to find the motivation to worship Allah subhana wa Bucha either at all, let
alone enjoying that worship.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:42
			Why should we feel grateful? Allah subhana wa Tada said it right there in the mercy of God me.
Because Allah azza wa jal is a robber, he owns he controls he protects, he nourishes, he loves
absolutely everything in his creation. Allah subhanho wa Taala continues and telling us about
himself. And there's one thing about himself as a Jedi, that he wants us to know more than anything.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:44
			Rahim
		
00:03:46 --> 00:04:03
			Allah tells us first and foremost before anything else, that he is merciful. He is generally
merciful in the way that he provides for every single creature and he's specifically merciful to the
believers who repent.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:27
			It's not an accident that Allah subhanaw taala begins almost every single chapter with these two
names of his or Amanda Rahim. He wants us to know with absolute certainty that his mercy is vast,
beyond comprehension. Allah subhanaw taala says it cuts about Omada and I've seen that
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:44
			Allah has decreed he's obligated mercy upon himself. The Prophet Mohammed Iranian salatu salam said,
Linda follow along with Caterpillar and then fell Karachi in Naraka. To set up for the other V.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			Muslim, when Allah azza wa jal created the creation he decreed from above the throne. Certainly, My
Mercy outstrips my wrath, or My Mercy is greater than my wrath.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:12
			But Allah azza wa jal also wants to be balanced. He doesn't want us to get complacent. He doesn't
want us to think that we are saved no matter what we do.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:06:12
			Which is why he then reminds us directly after Maliki only the Owner of the Day of Judgment, Allah
azza wa jal is in control of that day. And by reminding us of our depth by reminding us of our
meeting our Creator and our judgments, Allah subhanho wa Taala is trying to give us enough fear to
motivate us in this life, to do our very best. Once Allah has given us the motivation, we need to
know what to do if we want to succeed. What do we do if we want to be successful on that frightening
day when we stand before him alone? He cannot move what kind of staring? Only you do we worship only
you do we ask her have only you. Do we seek refuge with Allah Subhana Allah to Allah alone created
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:30
			us. Allah subhana wa Tada alone provides for us He alone will resurrect us, He alone will decide
whether we are in Jannah or not. So ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada alone deserves our worship and deserves
our gratitude.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:47
			Now that we know what to do, can we do it alone? Can we figure it out all on our own by ourselves?
Do we need any help? Are we perfect creatures? Or do we make mistakes? We need help.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:07:09
			And so Allah subhanaw taala makes us ask for the single most important thing more important than
health, more importance than money more important than a spouse more important than kids more
important than anything. We ask for guidance in a cell phone study. Guide us to the right way.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:19
			Which way is that? What right way? There's so many possible ways out there. How can I tell which way
is the right one?
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:29
			See it all Adina and arms are vague in the way of those who Allah azza wa jal has blessed. Great,
who are there?
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:40
			Who are the only people we can be certain that Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah has blessed is it the
person with money? Is it the person with power?
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:47
			Can we be sure that wealth and power is a blessing? No, we can't. So it's not them.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:58
			It's the prophets. Prophets hood is the way Allah azza wa jal chose to guide us without following
the prophets. We are lost.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:07
			This is why it's the second part of our shahada, our testimony of faith that in the law, is not
enough.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:09:05
			Without the prophets we are lost. Later on and several, Allah azza wa jal criticizes people who
claim that Allah never sent prophets are never sent any revelation. What does Allah say? Well, now
that Allahu Akbar poverty is a man's of a mystery to me and shape. Allah as I just said is that they
underestimated Allah. They didn't think highly enough of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada when they said that
Allah never a sense revelation or prophets what kind of God would create us create paradise create
how fire but not tell us how to get there? Not show us the right way. No, no, no Allah subhana wa
Tada is far more merciful than that. All Eliza gel loves us more than that. He has shown us the
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			right way.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:12
			But isn't enough just to know which way is the right way?
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:59
			What if you were given a map. And on a map, it shows you the right way to go it showed you you are
here big X, it showed you your destination. It showed you the path how to get there. But it didn't
show you the obstacles in the way. It didn't tell you that there would be mountains to climb, or
that there would be rivers that you have to cross or wild animals that you have to avoid or points
where the path becomes even hard to see. Would that be a very good map? We would be writing a review
on Google giving us zero stars. A good map would tell you about these things at the end of sorts.
Infatti Allah azza wa jal warns us about the obstacles along the
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:19
			Life, the wrong paths, the paths that if we were to follow them will lead to our ruin and our
failure like it is not full we are not the path of those who have angered Allah will lead and not
those who are lost astray.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:36
			The Prophet Mohammed alayhi salatu salam, he was asked about this a while. And he said that Allah
subhanho wa Taala is referring to the Jews and the Christians. But it is a mistake, to think that
this verse only applies to that.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:59
			It doesn't just apply to Jews and Christians because of their identity, because of their neighbor
who that's who they are, this is a huge mistake. Because we might get the wrong idea, or the false
understanding that we can't make the same mistakes that they did. That's very wrong,
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:15
			rather than Jews and the Christians are examples, as people who were also given revelation, they
represent certain attitudes towards revelation that we have to avoid at all costs.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:33
			The Jews are an example of people who knew the truth and went against it. Anyway. That's called
defiance. They had a prophet, they had a book, the book was clear. And despite that, they chose not
to follow it.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:47
			The Christians, on the other hand, are an example of people who were given the guidance, but they
didn't protect it. They didn't take care of it. And through neglect, they eventually lost it.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:53
			They're confused. They don't know which way to go, or what to do.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:13
			This isn't in the Koran, just to make a nice story. We are not saved just because we call ourselves
Muslims. We don't have a guaranteed spots and Allah's Gemina just because of our identity or who we
say we are.
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:54
			These reminders are in the core fan specifically. So we learn from their mistakes and do not repeat
them. If you and I know the truth and refuse to follow it, guess what? Allah subhanho wa Taala is
angry at you and me. If you and I don't take take care of this theme. If you and I don't prioritize
this theme, don't raise our children up upon this deal. We will end up loss on the straight to the
point where we can't even recognize what the right path is anymore. Nicola Foti has stuck to the law
he welcomed
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			the stock.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:12
			Hamdulillah he
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			was sugar level? Well, I tell people if you want to know
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:27
			why after the blood sugar level theme was shadow and the VNC to them 111 When he was on the wall, so
I'm gonna log on it.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:31
			While he was having he was glad he was suddenly just leaving.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:14:31
			The following two chapters of the Quran Surah Baqarah and surah Al Imran continue were sort of the
13th I left off, they go into more detail about these two false paths, the path of defiance and the
path of confusion by looking more closely at the examples of the Jews and the Christians again so we
can avoid making the same mistakes, sort of the developer is mostly about banning Assad in the story
of banning Israel is one of the most frequently told stories in the Koran. But notice that Allah
subhanahu wa Radha never tells the same story exactly the same way twice. Sometimes the emphasis is
on Musa ladies. Sometimes the emphasis is on the around. Sometimes the emphasis is on their life in
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:59
			Egypt. Sometimes the emphasis is on what happened after they left Egypt. So to the bottom is mostly
about bene Israel eel itself and how they responded to Allah's blessings and guidance. Allah azza wa
jal says you have any scars either through an empathy of the TNR to the athlete or in the article
money yeah, I've had wound Oh children of Israel. remember My favor which I have
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:08
			bestowed upon you and fulfill My covenant so that I will fulfill your covenant and be afraid only of
me.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:47
			Salvation. Jenner is a transaction it is not guaranteed for anyone Allah azza wa jal says that if
you do what I tell you I'll give you what I promised you what I touched that it will be a teeth m&m
Adila what yeah, if at all, and do not exchange my signs don't sell them for a small price and fear
only me. Meaning don't exchange Allah's guidance for anything in this dunya your priority has to be
here due to a loss of time.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			More than a facet be available what time zone that number physical, my honor, that's gonna keep tell
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:08
			people. Do you tell other people to be righteous and you forget yourselves? Why don't we recite the
Scripture? Then won't you reason? Allah subhanaw taala tells us to not be hypocrites to practice
what you preach.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:29
			Allah subhanho wa Taala is warning them about what they do with the guidance they have been given.
This guidance is for you to submit and develop yourselves. It is not for you to feel proud and
entitled. It's not for you to manipulate it as it suits you.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:17:20
			Some people use themselves to serve the deen and some people use the deen to serve themselves. This
was the main mistake of Benny Israel even they care more about the dunya to the point where they
were willing to manipulate the guidance of Allah subhanho wa Taala just so they could get ahead here
on Earth. Throughout this chapter, Allah subhanaw taala tries to bring them back to a place of
gratitude. He says remember when I save you from Fidelma? Remember when I parted the sea for you
remember when I gave you the total? Remember when I sent down food from the sky to you in the
desert? Remember when I gave you rivers to drink from it brought you to the Promised Land? What was
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:55
			their response? How did they react? Time and time again the response was arrogance. Defiance, a
complete lack of gratitude. Allah as widow tells them, you started worshipping the golden calf. You
demanded to see Allah subhana wa Tada directly. You complained about the food you avoided and
resting on the Sabbath, you would apply the revelation when it suited you and when the revelation
challenged you, you would ignore it or change it.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:05
			This is the attitude. Allah azza wa jal is warning us about do you think that as Muslims, we're safe
from this attitude.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:10
			You say to someone brother, you should pray? He says a DD yourself.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:28
			He says that the religion is easy. Yes, brother. That means that the slide is useful. It means that
the religion itself is ease and it will bring you ease. Don't twist the faith to get what you want.
This is the attitude of Vedic Astrology.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:40
			When we move on to a solar array calm Allah azza wa jal discusses the Christians again, as an
example, a lot of sellers, who would that the answer directly without going into too much
		
00:18:42 --> 00:19:32
			detail, but also to the shabby has the AMOLED in a few following who says they have to be Roman
Amantha Shabbath? I mean, who was the law? And if it's naughty, what would the law really it is He
Allah who sat down to you, oh, Hamid, the book, in it are verses some of which are precise. They are
the foundation of the book and others are ambiguous. As for the people who have disease in their
hearts, they will follow that which is ambiguous. Why because they want to seek discord and they
want to seek an interpretation that is suitable to them. It's no accident that Allah subhanaw taala
brings this up right before talking about the Christians because this was that a mistake? This is
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:42
			what led them into falsehood and ship. This was their method to focus on the verses that are
ambiguous and interpret them however they want.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:59
			Is there any evidence in the Gospels of a three person go? Are that a sermon? He sat down with the
Son of God? Of course there's not. But for hundreds of years, all of the focus has been put on the
couple of verses that might be interpreted that way.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:09
			at the expense of the other parts that clearly contradicted, oh people who believe is this a mistake
that only Christians can make?
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:19
			Of course not. We can make the same mistake which is why Allah azza wa jal specifically names his
religion is
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:29
			submission in the data and the logging of this map. Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah azza
wa jal is is
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:53
			a sample submission. It captures exactly the attitude that Allah subhanaw taala wants us to have
towards the guidance that he set down not to defy it, not to twist it or manipulate it, not to try
to find loopholes or reinterpret the scriptures to suit our needs.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:11
			If you have doubts, if you're not sure, yes, you need to investigate and ask questions and think
hard, that's fine. But once you're convinced, once you know the truth, Allah subhanaw taala asks us
the following is,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:16
			Islam is Allah's religion? He's asking for submission
