Yes, today shall start with verse 23 and 27
do not say if anything, I will do that tomorrow without adding God willing. And whenever you forget, remember your Lord and say, May my lord guide me closer to what is right. Some say this sleepers stayed in their cave for 300 years, some added nine more say Prophet, God knows best how long they stayed. His his the knowledge of all that is hidden in the heavens and earth, how well he sees how well he hears and they have no one to protect them other than him. He does not allow anyone to share his rule.
Prophet, follow what has been revealed to you of your Lord scripture. There is no change in his words, nor can you find any refuge except with him. Content yourself with those who pray to their Lord morning and evening seeking his approval. And do not let your eyes turn away from them out of the nuts not
not just 27 with no
plate.
And also the verse 27. The translation was a very good, but we'll come into the show smilla hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah be human Allah.
Allah Subhana Allah saying here to Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and to the whole entire ummah. What are the polenta Rishi in India dedicado never say anything. Indeed, I will do that tomorrow except that you should say or add to it along well. So, this is an etiquette that the prophets Allah was taught by Allah. And even evisa salam was ordered to do that. So everybody else should do it as well. Not something special for the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Sometimes Allah when he wants to order a something he gives this order to the prophets of Allah. So we understand and we realize it is B since the prophets of Salaam is supposed to do that. But Abraham in babbie owner, the rest of
the oma
airfryer should do it as well.
And Josie Rahim Allah in His great book, and because at the mercy of your element tafsir. He said that this verse was specifically revealed as a response to the Prophet sallallahu sallam, when the kofod of Quraysh came to him, asking him these questions that they got from the Kitab at that time, to examine the prophets of Salaam, his true prophet or not. The Prophet said, our answer to you tomorrow, the process of expecting the revelation to come. But he never said in sha Allah. That's why last month, Allah did not send any answer for him. And he stayed for a while, as we study to teach the prophets of Psalms a lesson and to everyone else. It's not you don't control the world.
It's not you the one who decide When the answer comes, it is Allah subhanaw taala has
wisdom and has his well and he's, he does whatever he wants, and he thinks it or he sees the best. So for 15 days he was waiting to
for the answer to come and it became so hard for the Prophet sallallahu wasallam had been a boss said, it means don't ever say I will do this tomorrow I'll do this, you know, without saying insha Allah without saying insha Allah
This except saying Allah Who else this etiquette there is a debate about the scholars what that exactly means. When do you cite
some Road America Mohammed law said that this verse teach you and etiquette anytime you make an oath
you make an oath will lie I swear by Allah will do this, okay, you should say inshallah
to every time you say, Well, I will do this and you make an oath and you swear, you should say, inshallah, why?
Because if you say, insha, Allah, even if you break the oath later on, let's face it one law, he will bring a gift to the one who answered the questions at federalist today. And I forgot, and I didn't bring I changed my mind. You know, in this case, do I have to do the penalty of breaking the oath? The answer is no, because I said, insha Allah. So if I didn't give you the gift, that means a lot never will for you to get the gift. But if I say, I say I will lie, I will do this. And I never say in sha Allah, if I do not fulfill the promise, if I not for what the plan am, I swear that I will do there is a penalty, which is you feed 10 people, you don't have money, first free a slave
then new for you, you basically feed 10 people, then if you don't have you, fast, 30 days.
So that's number one. So Allah subhanaw taala. This opinion, does not look at the reason behind the revelation. They did not look at what Josie said and said the mercy of that this verse came as a response to the process of not saying in Sharla so this is completely different.
Basically, different understanding, and this understanding came from a bass analyst paradata said, what could Rebecca either in a seat and remember your Lord, when you forget it? So if you say, I will do this tomorrow, and after two hours you realize, okay, that I didn't say inshallah, after two hours, you can say inshallah, and this is the proper etiquette. Like, what if I made an oath?
What law here I will do this, and it didn't say inshallah, and later on, you remember,
would you say in sha Allah, if you say in sha Allah, after you break the promise, you still have to do the penalty. And enema said, even if you break the promise, even if this is past you, you still should say in sha Allah, but you're going to pay the penalty if it's a swear, if you say, Well, I made an oath. So you still pay the penalty, but you still should say, inshallah, why? Allah said, because that's a proper etiquette with a lot. Because if you say, you know what, I'm going to do this. It sounds like you're the one who's in control. But when you see insha Allah you sounds like someone who do you realize how weak he is, and how great the Almighty Allah is. So it's a proper
etiquette. So that's why they said you should say insha Allah, even if you already done the actions, because it shows respect to Allah subhana wa dawn and that's what an ambassador the alone one he meant when he said one oh by the arm he said even one year later on you remember, you should say inshallah not because this is well take you from paying penalty for any breaking the oath or anything like that. No, he said, God Rahim Allah and I agreed with that. He said, it is just the proper etiquette. It shows the last panel data that I don't mean it to sound like I'm the one who will control other rudimental himolla which is equity. Ma said something very beautiful. He said
what could Rebecca either in a seat, Carla either.
He said you when Allah subhanaw taala said mentioned your Lord if you forget equitymaster forget not the right translation necesito una semana it means when you are angry.
When you get angry You say you mentioned Allah subhana wa tada and we know the etiquette of the this has been explained and how do you think that'd be so solemn when someone was so angry the problem said in the animal Kelly middle
aged I know something if he said
this anger will go away, which is below him in a ship energy. So you mentioned Allah subhana wa tada because anger from the shape on and we know when you mentioned a lot of the shape one goes away.
So that's the extreme as opinion other set
know
if you forgot, if you forgot about one of the matters like like, let's say I forgot where I put my pen. I forgot what is the key? You know today it's been like 10 minutes looking for my car in the parking lot. I never thought I will reach that stage this early in my life. Okay, so I've been looking Where's the car? Where's the car? him I said whenever you forgot something. It is here in Las Vegas. It was called Rebecca either in a seat. When you forget something you mentioned Allah subhana wa Tada. And that will help you to remember what you forgot. Is that clear? And many scholars have mentioned that. Why? What's the connection? Because Allah Subhana Allah said in the
same surah Well, Matt and Sani rulership on an ad Cora, what caused me to forgot you remember you will talk about this later. when Moosa is Sam and his hood on his servant. were traveling. They had a fish and he forgot the fish. So mussatto servant what is the fish? He said he forgot it last where we stopped last time. And he said the only reason I forgot about it is the chiffon made me forget. Okay. So the said the reason for you to forget about things that are important to you. It is one of the way the shape bond.
Any show his animosity to humans, that they make them forget, he hates human, so he makes you forget. So if you started remembering Allah subhana wa tada every time you forgot something that's also will push the ship on our way. And hopefully you will remember what you forgot. And some of them even said specifically, when you forget a verse in the Quran, when you forgot an ayah you're like you're reading and you couldn't remember what's the ayah? What's the end of the ayah? What's the next verse is at that point? It's highly recommended for you to make to mention on last panel, what Ana and
they said, you say
acaba, minha, Masha.
They say you're a guide me and it's interesting some of the fog. The half of Quran said that every time I get stuck with a verse, I always say, add the Acrobat mahadasha. guide me so I can any be guided into this. And immediately I will remember this verse or the verse that I couldn't remember. Some said, No, you just keep it as general as we said, and this is also not best said that anytime you plan to do something in the future, you should mention Allah subhana wa Donna, otherwise Allah maybe will punish you by not let the things happen, according to your well.
And the best example for this, what will Buhari or Muslim reported and I'd be heard on the line, and also the lie salatu salam that he said,
so a man had been that would Prophet Solomon. He said, tonight, I will go around to 70 of my woman, okay.
According to some even duration, 90 and some generation also all of them authentic 100.
So that I will basically go around to all this woman that I have, and I will have from each one of them a man.
And he will be a great night and soldier, he will fight for the sake of Allah Spano, Todd.
And he forgot to say, if Allah wills, what was the result? Not a single one of them got pregnant. And not a single one of them delivered a boy except one woman delivered half a half a human. And he came back he came out, like what we call you may have genetic disorder or any didn't survive basically just half a human.
And it was a lesson for Solomon. And the loss of Hannah data said, sent to him an angel.
And he said to him, say insha Allah, and he didn't say,
Allah even reminded him say, inshallah, and he did it. Because you know, these are my woman, this is the time of the month they will get pregnant and he thought, he will he will get it done. Then individual allottee seldom said, well let enough cvad is where that if he said insha Allah, he would have had the 100 soldiers
100 boy that he was looking for, and he said all of them would end up in Mujahideen visibility Allah.
So Allah Subhana Allah said after that, what will Assa De Niro be a problem in
Russia?
Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is near than this to right conduct.
So, if someone asked a question like the problem they asked him about the people of the cafe, ask about their karma in the asking about the soul, when they ask you about something, Mohammed and
obviously, all of us, and you have no knowledge of say, your Allah I asked you to guide me to the nearer truth to this. So I understand this guide me to understand, guiding me to know how to respond to guide me the knowledge of the thing that they asked me, the asking you about your Mohammed.
And so basically the point here that Allah asking you to do two things, you when you plan to do something, or someone asked you say insha Allah and your answer, especially if something you plan to do in the future, and also ask Allah and beg him to guide you to be able to respond to this request.
Yes.
We'll come to this.
There are some points I want to share with you about the word insha. Allah number one saying in sha Allah, every time you plan to do something in the about to do something, it's really
it's the etiquette that Allah Himself followed.
Any side question, do I need to say in sha Allah?
Do he needs to do that? No. But still, he said,
Allah Subhana Allah
lapada sada con la hora Sudoku bill, help
me Mahalia Pina Russa Kumamoto, Siri,
Alexa and salt and fat verse 27, you will enter a message from Mecca insha Allah, they did not enter yet said you will enter insha Allah, but in sha Allah if Allah wells, but he already welded he told us He is the God. So why would he say insha Allah?
It is because when you say insha Allah, it again put you put that trust in Allah. It shows that you love him you trust him you depend on him
to talk to him, third to Allah subhana wa tada and also this insha Allah, it is the headin MBR the practice of the prophets of messenger from the Han Juana usofa. He,
he, he will bond me sooner.
Among many use of when his parents and his brothers enter to the palace. He said, Go back and bring all your family from the desert to Egypt, and you will enter Egypt in sha Allah, I mean, feel secure.
So because they did not enter Egypt yet, so he said, inshallah
you remember the story of Musashi Sam, with the righteous man who has two daughters than ended up most of marrying one of them. You know the story? What's the father that has some duration suggests that that was a prophet actually. But anyway, what's that righteous man said Barna in New Orleans.
Durrani, the man
Giuliani Melania agent

parekh, certegy, dooney
long, you know, song being, I wanted to work for me, eight years, 10 years, whatever you can offer, and you will insha Allah find me. Among that
sleight of hand righteous sort of puzzles, verse 27. It's Marian said this to his father when he's about to kill him what he said, or when he told him I saw my dream that you be sacrificed. He said on
about defending the man to mob Saturday dooney in a long you know slob you mean dot father do whatever be in order to do you insha Allah you will find me among those who are patient, so to suffer verse 100
and musalla is Sam when he met a lover what he said to him
what he said to him on a Saturday when he
saw me
inshallah you would find me patient and I will not disobey you. So my point is the word insha Allah it's a common word in the Quran
very common word in the Koran and it is very respectful word very respectful team term.
It is sad today that insha Allah became a word used to deceive people but Kim a word any as we say in Arabic exactly the any a word that you want to get out of it in a dictatorship, tell me I won't do it from you this inshallah on I have no plan to do it.
I'm not even planning to say or to do it. Just inshallah, and this inshallah takes forever.
You know, this is so shady. People, when you told them in sha Allah, they don't even take it serious anymore. They have noticed spec for the world. But do you see a law use that term? The prophets and messengers use this term, and it shouldn't be respected. If you're not going to do it, you should not just say insha Allah,
that you keep the honor of that word, because Allah subhanho data warn us and sort of denial. Verse 94, while at a man accom de Haan Bane accom fettucine, la vida Mumbai butea Waterloo su B Masada Avi de la, la cama de bon jovi, and do not take your oath as means to deceit between you
let any Otherwise, your foot may be slit after it was firm, and you will taste the evil in this world, from what people you diverted from the way of Allah and you would have in the hereafter a great punishment. So can you imagine if your word inshallah used to deceive people is a word that makes people don't trust religion anymore? Or don't trust someone saying something like that? That's really very bad.
One of the things they don't want to also comment on saying insha Allah is free you from lying.
So if you say, I will do that and you don't do it, and he said, inshallah, you will not be a liar. But if you say I will do it and you don't do it, that's a lie. You break your promise. So it's free you from this responsibility. That's why in Debbie's asylum said, Manhattan Africa insha Allah Allah made the process awesome. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said and this hadith the Muslim whenever you say well law, how do you make an offer last night one of our last names and you break that off, you did not.
You're not will be hold responsible with any as a sin will not be a sin.
Insha Allah has to meaning and I will put up to pay attention to it. In sha Allah, I will Italia in sha Allah, it means sometimes you say it because you don't know if it's going to happen or not.
Okay, it might happen it might not. But sometimes you say in sha Allah, because you know 100% it will happen.
is not about doubting it will happen or not you saying seeking the blessing from Allah
as a confirmation, okay.
And the proof for that is the sudut effect, the verse they just decided early about Allah saying insha Allah you will enter the mustard. Not because Allah doubt it's going to happen or not? No, because he wants to confirm that. Yeah. And it happened with my well.
Okay, that you don't know about but I know about also an abuse of salatu salam said once in the day of today via he said, in near Rasulullah I am the messenger of Allah. That's already happened. That's right. What else do I see? And I never disobey Allah something in the past you don't say insha Allah about it. That's right. Then he said Salalah Salim were who are now city and He will give me victory.
This didn't happen.
And in Lebanon didn't say insha Allah. Why? Because in sha Allah here is not to be said, In a situation like this to raise doubt maybe well, we now know it is 100% well happen.
That's why abdelkarim Rahim Allah said that Ebon Tamia when the two ermi stood in front of each other, which is the Muslims army and the Mongol that
had been Tamia, he swears by a lot at times or 70 times that they will be victorious, they will win the battle.
And every time they said to him, insha Allah, he said, to be a con la de la
insha Allah as a confirmation, not as a doubt.
That's why they'll pay him comment in that. He said, It is basically those people who can look at things and get signs that it will happen. They don't need to say in Sharma they don't say it because they are full of trust in Allah Subhana Allah that will happen. They see signs of victory. That's what I've been telling him. Allah refused to say inshallah, at that moment, and he said, because he's so clear sign that this is a day where a lot will never leave the believer defeated.
And he said that not everybody has that fear. Asa had that ability to see the signs of Allah subhana wa, but if you see it, you're allowed not to say insha Allah, because this behavior became raised kind of making doubt. That's why when you make the app you never say, inshallah, why? Because you want a confirmation. You don't want doubt. Or Allah forgive me. Oh, Allah give me you don't say if you wish, if you will. And even the process of setting said Don't say such thing.
I said that before. Only stetina say inshallah, about things happen in the future, not in the past. Then our last panel data set, and they remained in their cave for 300 years and exceeded by nine, so 309 years.
That's a statement from Allah subhana wa tada about how long the people of the cave stayed in their cave. Because when the people from the john, the Christian delegate who came from Iran, when they heard about this, they said, We only know that today stayed 300. What do you get the nine, the nine years from? They were surprised, they said, We only aware of 300 that's what we know. What do you got that nine from? That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala said to them, Allah knows exactly how long this state
could allow Allah mobi matter. Allah knows exactly how long they stayed.
And this is from the day they went to the cave and they slept and the day they woke up and they send one of them to the market. It is 309 some LMS said it is 300 years, according to the
Gregorian calendar, according to the sun, and nine years according to the lunar calendar.
So if you calculate it with the lunar calendar 309 and Allah Subhana Allah choose that lunar calendar, because that's how all Sharia old rules in Islam is based on
who will a Sabbath lady you HIPAA law, it is the method that Allah loves. And that's one of the evidence that earlier method is you should follow the lunar calendar and take it as your calendar over the Gregorian calendar. Okay, but no way we can only keep up with that and people who live here the only country in the world, they do that to Saudi Arabia, I'm not sure if any other country even sometimes it causes a lot of problem when I travel back and forth and have visa and stuff like that because everybody in every airport said, What's the
Canada or even Muslim country what Okay, the creditors
have figured that out. So it causes sometimes an interesting challenge, but I glad that they still honor that calendar and still the official one that they use.
They, then Allah, Allah says, Allah knows how long exactly they remained, okay? Because
then unseen or the unknown thing and the heavens and the earth, the knowledge of it goes back to him. Subhana hutan. Then he said, I will soon be he will. So
here it means house.
Seeing is he and how hearing? Is he?
No matter hemolysin it means he is semi gambusia. Yeah. And in hula Sameer on barsoomian, he sees and he hears them very well. And this is an kind of form of emphasis on how great hearing he has and how great seeing an ability to see. He has some kind of what Ana
Qatada said, no one can hear like him, no one can see like him, with all the cameras in the world, he can manage your eyes will not be as a Lost Planet Allah sees, he sees and he hears the black small.
And when it walks in a black,
smooth rock, in a dark night,
he hears it and he sees it.
Oh, who can do that?
He sees and he hears everything in the ocean, everything in the in the face of the earth, in the universe.
And he hears and he sees that in the same time in the same manner. Nothing he sees more than others. Nothing he hears better than others.
That's why in the Day of Judgment, the profits are seldom said even when he speaks
he the one who is closed and the one who's far we hear it in the same way.
Then
Allah subhanho wa Taala said Manor home Min duni min. Wali What are usually coffee hook me I had it said Allah subhanaw taala
he has no Willie
they have no really what it means helper.
Someone who helped them protect them, give them victory, okay? Other than him.
Okay. So here, this is an interesting concept, which is actually it means the one who gives you victory The one who protect you, the one who aid you the one who guide you the one who
gives you victory as I said, except Allah Subhana Allah God so no one else on this world will do that to you except
a loss of Hannah Diana's help an aid is to level
two levels and will I am in a lot two levels number one when I am that also that help and aid every human being
it doesn't matter Muslim non Muslim, good bad doesn't matter. That's why last part Allah said in Surat Al anon well who want
to call here oh anybody
have ever had I
had a como todo todo su una
serie
de
la Hema una una shot.
Same thing,
when when you die, and everybody die Muslim or non Muslim, good and bad. That's right. So everyone, when that person died, they returned to Allah, the One who is there, moolah.
What that means, there are no one and he the one who aid and support and help them in this life. So his help and aid and support go to everyone.
That's General, but there is another one, which is only to the believers. And that held an aid to the believers, according to the faith of those believers. So some of them the aid and the help of Allah greater than others. The more closer to him, the more he aid you, the more he support you and keep that in mind. That's a very important point.
The more you closer to Him, He gives you more support, more aid.
And this can you tell me now we are in the end of the story of the people of the cave. That's right. That's the end of the story. So while I will mention this in the end, to connect the two together to tell you what happened to the people of the cave, it is because they were believer, that's why the aid and the support was greater than anybody expect.
The more you closer to him, the more victory you get the people of the cave never ever imagined that they will be aided and held to this level. But I lost how to say no, they got and they received this help and this wilaya this support this
aid this help from a law it just because they were fit to do an AMA noburo beam. Allah said in the Quran
Allahu Allah you letting
me know
a lot of Willie the helper, the one who aid and give support to the believer, help them and what Take them away from the darkness to the light.
So this wilaya from Allah subhana wa Tiana goes to every Muslim and every moment. Then Allah Subhana Allah said, and lautrec he hooked me he had that Allah subhana wa Tiana he makes none to share in his decision and his rules.
Lao Shri Kofi hooked me hahaha.
Yeah, and he will not take partner with him when it comes to ruling
and a loss of habitat a ruling the rulings of philosophy there are two type
hokum powdery or hokum Surely,
the ruling of Allah Subhana Allah, it is related to the universe. So if Allah subhanho wa Taala said, that the sun
comes from the east and set in the West, no one else can change that system.
If Allah Subhana, Allah decided that you are going to be tall, nobody can make you short for life decide that you were born in this place with that genes with these things alone, the only one who can do this is related to the universal things, you know, has nothing to do with the religion. You know, if Allah decided that there is a hurricane that is a hurricane of Allah decided that this will disease will happen, these will happen, cure will happen, cure will happen. Okay, so these are things that Allah Subhana Allah rulings related to the universe, as a religion, all these area allows the only one who make the decision, no partner, no one consult him, no one aid him, no one
can change it, except him.
The other area with his ruling comes, which is the rulings that Allah subhanaw taala loves the ruling that Allah put because he loves it, I love doesn't like a love doesn't make a difference to life from love and hate. Okay, then the sun comes from the east of the West. He only made it come from the east for wisdom, but not because he loves it. Because he had a great wisdom behind that. A lot made the universe this way and the earth this way in the sea and the mountain because of wisdom, not because he loves it. But there's other things alignment or rules, because he loves this rule, which is to pray five times a day. That's a ruling that is you avoid usury. You don't burn a case
but you get married. You don't do things which is harm you or harm others he loves to see you safe, he loves to see you providing to people so because he loves that he legislate that. Is that clear? A lot also saying as he has no partner in the first which is the thing related to universe it has no partner can be taken with him in the second area which is the rulings and the thing that you legislate for people and that's a very important fundamental our religion that's why we say Alhamdulillah that Allah is the only one who makes the ruling
I saw in the last panel said this is allowed and this is not allowed we should obey and not to take part of him and you take parts under the law if you choose other legislator over a laws legislation you take us through the law if you follow your desires and you choose to follow it instead of following his rulings a panel what your honor
so that's basically
the meaning and there is one para karate been amor y la you shriek of me he does not take partner but even amor era he resided while ah to shake me haha, do not take instead of he doesn't take it became do not take partner with him when it comes to the ruling.
So this guy is very explicit about the meaning that we just set
the M if we look at all this, we come to MIT I want to share some point number one
that the supernatural things that happen sometimes happen on the hand of prophets and we call these acts or miracles and happen in the hand of righteous people like this
young
Men, these are righteous nonprofits, a messenger and ally made them do something supernatural, that this lived for 309 years. That's a miracle. But it's not doesn't mean the Prophet, there are only a righteous people. And we call this karma earlier. And we believe in both. But also believe it or not, some supernatural thing can happen in the hands of bad people. Even disbeliever. Like what?
The worst of it all at the job, the full Messiah.
He bring people to live he do this, you do that you do a lot of supernatural things. So the supernatural things are not necessarily in itself a proof that this person is right or wrong. Because everybody can make things. That's true. The supernatural things that the prophets came with, nobody can match it, no one can match.
But because
you see the magicians with Musashi syrup, when they made their steaks and robes looks like what
snake? If you Google, if you Google,
redoing the snakes miracle,
okay, just Google it.
You will see that with chemical, you put it together and you mix it, that chemical turned to be like a snake. It goes up like that and move
that does power. And it looks like a snake and you Google it You said some chemists and you do stuff like that. And they make it like, you know move it's like from nothing and it became all sudden, it looks like from a distance you might confuse between this chemical reaction and the snake itself.
But moose a snake was not just something he imagined it looks like a snake. Miuccia snake was real. That's why eight,
that everything that they have. And that's what they realize. It's not that it's not just a delusion. It's a true
action from Allah subhanho wa Taala. So you will understand the different by looking at that practice, prophets righteous, their life completely different than magicians. magicians are after money after worldly matters, but the righteous and the prophets are not.
You know, magicians are filthy
disbeliever that is not the case with the other one.
One of the lessons that we can also reflect upon changing the society, guiding people takes time.
takes a lot of time.
Don't think is gonna happen overnight. 309 years, and a lot change that village.
They found the change after 309 years. We're not maybe live 300 maybe we're not gonna live 309 years. Okay? Unless you had a calf.
Okay, but you didn't need to wait to see to your own eyes, you believe it even if you don't see it.
And it's very great lesson for us. The time it takes time for people to change. So be patient. Don't rush, don't angry, don't be frustrated, don't give up on people.
Also,
one of the things that we can learn that a lot Oh, the only one who knows the unseen. Nobody ever know the unseen. That's why I like this story mentioned several times. He's the only one knows the reality and what exactly happened on this young boy who enter the cave. So keep that in mind. Anybody ever asked you or tell you that he knows the future he knows the unseen. This is not true. The only one knows the unseen is a las panatela even the prophets, the process of says look into animals.
If I know the future, I would have you know, ask or plan for all the good things.
And the Lord told us and so that's about verse 14, that the jinn didn't know the unseen. Mousavi Sara sorry salamati Sara was having all the gin works in front of him and he was sitting like this in his thick state.
How long it takes the insect termite okay to come and to eat the stick until he fall down while at least several days, okay.
Maybe years, who knows. But let's just say even even few days, he's dead like this and they didn't know and keep working, working, working scared away. Okay, and all sudden he fall on his face
because this the stick was eaten by the termite or by the end
And he follows his face. So they realize that they've been working all this time afraid of feminism, that they realize that nobody knows the unseen.
Also, this is teach us that the ruling of the last panel data must be accepted in both sides, whatever he decreed upon us and other or whatever he legislate for us, it cannot be rejected, can it be twisted?
Like? And
would this basically
come to the end of the story of added calf, and here, benefits and lessons from the whole entire story after we learn a lot of benefits, detail about each and every verse? These are some benefits from the whole entire story. Number one, Allah Subhana, Allah promised the believers victory.
Yes, he did not promise.
You know, we have a sign back there. It says, God promise, you know, a safe delivery. But he never promised a calm journey.
That's very true, a lot promising victory. But he didn't promise you that the victory will happen right away, or very easy way. It takes struggle. So keep that in mind. And Allah Subhana Allah says, victory is too tight.
I basically a tangible victory. And this has happened when two army fight another one another, and in history, Muslim Alhamdulillah. You know, in many times, I like give them victory over their enemies when they meet in the battlefield. But that's not the only victory Allah give them a mini. This victory can come and can be delayed, can be seen at one point and can be never seen by a group of people isn't the end it will come. But you know what is more important The other type of victory, which is never ever disappeared in the oma, which has always been there, which is something we call it intangible victory, not the tangible, intangible, and that means a muscle memory, which is that
Allah subhana wa tada give them victory through that power of the Quran. The power of the words, the power of that
of the legislation. Nobody ever debated the Muslims, and about the religion and was able to win in India, when
British occupied India, they want to debate Muslim. So they choose a very young guy and
from the village, and because he's very young, he's not very educated. They thought this would be good at debate when they bring their scholars and they will raise doubt about Islam.
So they bring this young guy and they asked him, you believe that Mohammed is a prophet? He said, Yes.
He said, and you know that he's with his Lord, is it? Yes, absolutely. He's with his Lord. He said, and his grandson, saying, you know him, Who doesn't? He said, was he murdered? Yes, he was murdered. And his murder. He was murdered by the enemy and unjustly unfairly. He said, Yes, unfortunately. And he said, If you Prophet was true, Prophet, why didn't he scream to God? And he said, save my grandson, saying, if he capable of doing anything, then the young man looked at him. He said he did
that priests couldn't believe the answer. He said, what he said he did. He asked God, that He screamed at God.
I said, What happened? He said, God, God helped me save my grandson. So God told him, I couldn't save my own son, I'll save your grandson.
He's being sarcastic, should have could have saved my own son.
So the got it, and he couldn't even continue the debate. You know, he's being just sarcastic with them. So here, even young boy like that. The hedger and beyond the evidence isn't his site. He didn't lose it, not education that the other people have. But this is a victory that ally giving the Muslim every time we go into
a debate. I remember in University of Houston, right after 911. He was a nice guy, but I don't know why he just crossed the line of that, either, or the etiquette of debate. Then he came in, he asked me a question about the hijacker. And he said,
What's your belief as a Muslim about the hijacker? What do you think of them?
The Muslims,
he just went away to stay for me to say they are Muslims say connect to together. And I'm saying, then I told them, I said, we believe that in the Day of Judgment, there is terraza, we intentionally bad, there is three records will be brought in front of our last panel data for each human before each and every human being. Number one, that records of the thing between you and your God, prayer zeca had stuff like that. And another record in relation to what is between you and human being you took his money, you lie to him, you cause him harm you met you, you made fun of him. And the third one, a D map and this hadith in Si,
si, which is anything has to do with killing one another. And Allah will never let these hijackers ever pass in the Day of Judgment before he asked him about these bloods that they spell and the death that the counts. But I have another question for you.
He said yes. I said, Let's hypothetically say that they were Christians.
And they believe in Jesus as their Savior.
What would happen to them in the day of judgment?
He put his head down.
But they are not. I said just
what would happen? They believed in Jesus and
and you're not Catholic. So Catholic was required for the priest to you know, forgive him or make commission come back to you not so.
And he's taught to get out. And he said, okay, technically, since they believe in Jesus, they got to paradise.
He couldn't get out of it.
I said, see the different
said nobody can give you can really get a victory over an Islam in general. Islam is a very dominant religion. So that's another victory that a lot, not only to snap to the center of the process, as well.
So one of the also lessons that we know that akto heat and faith is the main reason for being victory, victorious. That's why las panatela said in Vietnam and the only description that they got beside that they are young men, that they are true believers. free themselves from the cover from the shirt and the machine.
Number three, one of the main reason for you to achieve the victory of a Lost Planet Allah we learned from this story, that being patient, holding tight to the deen of Allah, even if it leads you to leave everyone that you love.
Even if it leads that you disagree with people who are so close to you, even if it leads you to go to the cave that's how much they were holding into the truth. Not people who any shape anything happened ready to quit. And ISIS Allah I get so many phone calls question Can I take off my job after the shooting California?
Are you putting this job any anything happened? Take it off your job, take it anyways.
It's fun, very comfortable with it. You know, just a little bit of like being firm. You know how much resistance
is not like very shaky. Number four, we see also from one of the main reason for you that Allah give you to fit on live and you hold tight into your religion and to achieve success to be around good people. They're not one the group of young men.
Okay. Number five, one of the also a scramble for the reasons behind success in the dunya is avoiding the Phaeton staying away from the area are the people who disbelieve in Allah, who people who lead you to this force in disbelief. They force you and encourage you to disobey Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And by the way, avoiding the places and the area where you cannot practice your religion, the area where you are forced to denounce your religion. Will you forced to disobey our last panel to honor of leaving this area? It is not something new.
What does he know como una una mean do Neela I avoid you on what you worship other than Allah Ibrahim said it to his father and to the people, rich people.
Number six,
it is so good to always expect good from Allah has the lung Billa you have a good expectation in your Lord. Where do we get this in the story? Anybody can tell me
Where we get this from the story of
El cafe? insha Allah Kumara buku nirvash Maddy, where you how you recommend America America? Yes Anna, see how the sense of optimism, go to the cave and in the cave, you will see so much mercy Fumio Lord alone will make things so easy for you. There is no any sign for say we're going to the cat in the cave, that oldest but this is optimism. This is trust and Allah, this is view and Allah is the source of all good. Number seven.
The importance of we learn from this story that's so important. With all the faith that you have, you still beg Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to guide you. You still ask Allah Allah from his mercy, or better. attina Milligan, kurama Emery Natasha, Allah provide from you a mercy to us and lead us, they guide us to the best of ways.
Number eight, it is so important for those who want not only to survive, but to thrive.
Not only to save themselves, but to influence others and to be
victorious, that they always consult one another.
As a group, as a community, we should not just everybody do his own as a lawsuit,
they consult one another. And they ask for the feedback. They take the opinions of everybody trying to build a sense of consensus and an agreement among each other. See, the decision that they made were to go to the cape, Look, listen to what the law said. You know, what all of us go to the cape. Nobody said, Okay, you go to the cape, I'm gonna stay the home when they made a decision, all of them follow. It's very beautiful. Not like sometimes you made a decision. Everybody said, I'm not gonna do this. I'm gonna do this. They went that way. No, they basically understand they've been together and consult one another and make the decision collectively, it the right way to go. Also
number nine, then they obey one another, even if they disagree with each other. You remember they said how long you stayed. How long you slept is a day, half a day. there is disagreement. But when it comes to the things that matter the most, they are unified. We can disagree inside the society and community about small things. But the big things it's a shame if we disagree. It's unacceptable if we don't agree. The main thing we have to agree. Yes in the small thing we can disagree about certain things.
You know what we all maybe we disagree. How Abdullah's way of dress dressing as some people say casual Some people say nice some people saying simple some being saying cheap. So whatever. You know, exaggerate overdressed, we can have all different opinions about them. But when it comes Abdullah's right being violated, we all stayed together.
Abdullah is a Muslim in the community, and he deserved the Brotherhood and the love, nobody should doubt that.
And I defend him.
So here, it's very great lessons from the story of Angelica. Number 10. We learn from the people of the calf, or these young men, that is so good to plan well, and to take the necessarily means they took the money, they left in the night, they went to a cave that they know very well and identify before. So all this plan, they sent someone and they said hide your identity when you go to purchase the food. So all this should good planning and this is very important for us if we want to be successful.
Also.
Sometimes we think avoiding confrontation is a form of cowardness. But no, it is many times a form of wisdom. Might people say why these young men did not stood and fight and die ashamed. Why did they run away to the cave is not real men. No heavy, a lot praised with the dead. Because what's the right thing? So many times we think that's overzealous and you know, and basically a confrontation and challenging and stuff like that is the right course of action. But that's not all the time is the right course of action. So many times the right course of action is the wise one is the one comes from here, not from here
as the worst course of action that
The one comes from hear from hand doesn't consult anything else. You just don't think
you know I always say it's okay to follow your heart. But you have to take your mind with you
leave your brain behind you, you have to
basically analyze and make a wide decision. Number 12
be with the Gema
even if this Gemma is very small numbers, because the Gemma it must mean the unity of the Muslims, or that the Muslim the group that to present the truth is never was decided based on numbers.
And based on truth, how much the truth how much they follow the true they were a very small number, but they were the Panama and it does not means that the Jamaat are represented by the age they were young, rich or poor. We don't know much about them. The only thing we know that they believe in a lot and they do good deeds.
Okay and in nebby sallallahu Sallam said and listen to this beautiful Khalid Khalid Abdullah Nonetheless, the process of him said while we're sitting around him Baba Baba, Baba is a great blessings or a great tree in general will be giving to a lot about the stranger, the process of strangers What do you mean? He said there are righteous people, righteous people, a few righteous people in a large number of corrupt people.
Now some of whom Penny Fiennes is suing kefir.
Then the process I'm said those who disobey them, way more than those who follow them
manually under man, y'all see how many I see him after one minute.
That's why I set up one of the setup said once something very beautiful. I hope it can translate right? He said it can be 31 at the sto hush letter Sally Keane will yakko triple bow, wah wah because Rasul Allah can follow the truth, the path of truth. And don't be bothered by the few or the small number of people who taking this path was here
and follow and leave the path of falsehood. And don't ever be deceived by how many people go through that path.
That's very beautiful. Advice. Number 14. The truth is not connect to numbers, age, power. Fame, is not connected to power and military material military now. But what is the bohan? The evidence for number 14?
What looks from the story that they had no profit among them? That's right. It's very obvious. That's right. There is no problem. That's another lessons and we wish that I have time to go deep in this many times. We're always waiting for this leader to come to lead us. We're always waiting for the share, to come to unify the community. You know, like when I went to Atlanta they always say we need an MMU mom is great, but they do a great job even if there is no a mom yet there. You know, it's I'm not saying this to so not be blamed for traveling a lot from the community. Okay, I'm not trying to justify my action. No. But yes, there is a leader but the leader doesn't need necessarily
to be a big title. That's what I'm trying to say. We're not like this. Even though I don't do that anymore. The Shadow the history, always say also, you can not do anything until Monday comes even the original traditional shear ism, there is a weird things you can do Juma until Monday comes the traditional shears have a lot of things that are not allowed, not allowed, not allowed to establish a government to make a ruler a government with rolling. That's why so many she said that and Khomeini establish the stomach Republican in Iran is Catherine.
Like one of the greatest names among the Shia scholars and who in Lebanon. He said he's Catholic, and they said this is an Islamic because you cannot stablish a government or a state unless Amanda comes. We don't have that counsel that somebody big us to come or a share or someone to bless you or anything like that. No, you take the lead and you can make the change like these young men dead. And that's a great lesson. We have to have a high self esteem, but balanced this number 15
which is the last point Albert amin Cuf.
free yourself from government and from the people who practice go for. It doesn't make you a person full of hate to others should not turn into a person full of negative feelings toward towards the world. No, you don't wish good for the world. Well, ah the I will never forget somebody told me what you're doing in America we'd come back.
I said yeah, I'm gonna have center we have Muslims, a lot of people accept Islam knows about Islam. And he said, those people don't deserve to be Muslim.
You should not even give them down let them die like this. We go to how far
I
can I can imagine. That's not the heart of a moment. That's the heart of shavonne
Well, I heard that and not from one or two.
These people have this the thing that this what it means
to free yourself from Franco. That's wrong. Look at these young boys. They wish the best for their people. And they never ever even though the clearly said that we don't believe in what you believe. But we still call them Poma him, our people our people, our people did not say oh, you guy like what you see in some of these extremist group the first thing they do the burn the bad passport, the the you know, the the first thing they do they hate their own people.
You know, preparing a class about cold deceived about the extremist jihadi groups in this world. And one of the things that I found in my course, that
one of the first thing they teach their followers to hate their own people.
And about six months ago,
I saw a video brought tears to my eyes.
A guy was among these ISO group took his cousin
and the car said let's go for dinner and he took him to the desert. He tied him up and he have a video
a phone recording. He laid him out in the highway in the desert area, desert area in the desert. And he had the clashing CO
and he said I'm doing this for
me to make my point that this is where free yourself from the kuffaar your Kaffir because he's a soldier, his own cousin
and in the video the other guy like recording then he shot a turtle and the guy said it tequila we just pray together or whatever the Salah was it took a long time your cousin we just prayed together to your capital
and he killed him
and by the way this country is Arabia would this really take place in this country cousins and family tie is very strong it's like brothers
so for me to see this this is completely any wrong
evil so I think from the lessons that we
see that we never prayed that a lot of story that people they never asked a lot to destroy the whole city actually wish they give them down they give and when didn't work just let them alone
and and that's a great lessons for us and the Dow data and with this we come to the conclusion of the story of the people or the calf and it's amazing trans position. You will be surprised next week inshallah Allah, how the most smooth transition you can ever see in any story. How a lot can basically take you from this story to come completely new subject and inshallah Tada. This is will be Mohammed wants me to say but I think it's good enough today. It's already been at one hour, and we will continue shala tomorrow, next week. And if you're not here in Houston, you always can log on and join us. It's live. Thank you very much. A Santa Monica Monica.
