			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al Hamdulillah Hamden cathedral even Mubarak and fie wa salatu salam
ala I should have an MBA you will see the Mussolini early he was off be a Jemaine.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			So I want to come home to Allah, the brothers and sisters.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			We're continuing now inshallah Tada with the Tafseer of Surah Al Baqarah.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			In the previous
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			lesson we had, we were still at the beginning of Surah Al Baqarah.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			And we had discussed
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			where Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:42
			began Alif Lam Meem Wehrli Kalki tabula rasa Buffy who de Lille Mata teen
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:51
			that this book in which that there is no doubt is Huda is a guidance for mankind.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:01
			Then Allah subhanaw taala goes on to mention five attributes of the believers.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:11
			Five attributes, the first of these attributes is a Lavina. You mean own or be like
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			those who have belief in Allah hype.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			And hype is translated as the unseen
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			and that is everything that Allah subhanaw taala has informed us of
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			that we have not witnessed.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:34
			For example, the mela aka the angels,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:44
			previous revelations, previous messengers, even our beloved Nabi SallAllahu, we didn't know with
him. This is part of
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:54
			for us, it's of course, it's from our perspective, it's something unseen, the Prophet alayhi wa
sallam, we didn't meet him, not for the Sahaba, of course,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			also the last day,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04
			I'll cover the Divine Decree, Shari, he will hurry. It's evil and it's good.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:14
			And everything that Allah subhanaw taala spoke about in the Quran, or that was described to us by
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, which is considered from the unseen
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:24
			that this book is a guidance for those Allah Vina, you know, and I believe that those who have Iman,
full belief
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			in
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			the unseen
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			why your Ki Moon of Salah
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			and those who established the prayer,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			and we spoke about this in a previous
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:05
			lesson about the karma to Salah and that is from a general view that is to establish the five daily
prayers. And more specifically, it's more specifically a karma to Salah in that that the servant
will offer the prayers in a way that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam prayed as he releases and
told us so Lou Kamara at Moonee Valley pray as you have seen me praying
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			woman Mao rasa corner whom Moon Kuhn
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			and that
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			what we have
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:36
			good given you from risk from provisions, you will own that they will give that out and they will
give that as a charity This is the third the third characteristic so the first one was an EMA noble
vape belief in the unseen
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			number two establishing the prayer.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			Number three is giving charity
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:56
			but bear in mind what Allah subhanaw taala says mymail Rosa corner home from that what we sustained
them with that what we gave to them
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:04
			as opposed to a servant thinking that what I gained or that what I earned
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:18
			Hey Allah subhanaw taala is informed informing us and to spend out what We have provided for them.
So all sustenance and all provisions. Ultimately it comes from Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			And if you look at these first three,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			the first three characteristics this is
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:45
			very similar to that what you find in the hadith of ibn Umar Radi Allahu Anhu and that is Islam
being built upon five Booney al Islam or other camps.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			This hadith is in both Bukhari and Muslim that Islam is built upon five.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			testifying that there was no deity worthy of worship except Allah and the Mohammed Elisa Salaam is
the Messenger of Allah, establishing the prayer
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:09
			giving charity, the first three pillars and then of course the fourth one fasting Ramadan and making
the pilgrimage to the club
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			the fourth characteristic
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:40
			that alasa subhanaw taala mentions is what Lavina you mean wanna be my own Zi La La coma on Zillow,
public and that those who have Iman and Lavina you mean noon, those who have belief in that what has
been revealed to you
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			and that what was revealed before you?
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			I not only having belief in Al Quran,
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:57
			but also having belief in all the previous revelations that Allah subhanaw taala sent down, that we
know that but we don't know.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:11
			So revelations that were sent down to what Allah has informed us of the Injeel which was given to
her ASA Ali salaam, the Torah which was given to Musa Ali salaam, the Cebu which was given to
download
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:27
			and also which was given to Ibrahim, likewise Musa alayhis, salam, these were, these are revelations
that we accept, and we have belief in them. They were the kalam of Allah they were the speech of
Allah subhanaw taala that will given to particular nations.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:41
			And the fact that Allah azza wa jal mentions not only in the Quran, but also other books that were
revealed. Other revelations shows the importance of us stating that
		
00:06:42 --> 00:07:01
			medallic Because Allah subhanaw taala mentions in a number of places in the Quran, where Allah as
was mentioned, other revelations that were mentioned. Like for example, in Surah Nisa, in verse 136.
What Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:20
			tells us Oh, you who believe believe in Allah and His messenger and the Book, Al Quran is the
meanings which he has revealed to the messenger and the book which he subhanaw taala sent to his
sent to them before.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26
			And likewise, you find in Surah Nisa
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			in verse number 47, as well.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:35
			And in Surah, toma either in verse number 68.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			And again, in Surat Al Baqarah, in verse 200 285.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			That we do not differentiate our belief our Eman in all of the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			textual
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:58
			revelations that were given to the Prophets neither do we differentiate between the messengers.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:17
			Allah subhanaw taala tells us in Surah, Nisa, and 100 and verse 152, one livina man who will, he was
really he was, um, you thought, obeying the minimum, and those who believe in Allah and His
messengers and make no distinction between any of them.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			So it is part of our belief
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:29
			to believe in all of the revelations that Allah subhanaw taala sent to previous nations.
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:32
			Now
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:42
			concerning previous revelations, it was important for us to know that they were distorted the true
message
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:51
			that was revealed by Allah subhanaw taala in his previous relations revelations, is no longer in its
pure form.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:58
			So Allah subhanaw taala sent Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam chose Muhammad Allah Salam and
send it to him Al Quran
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			which serves as a protected and preserved message
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			of what Allah subhanaw taala requires from his creation.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:12
			Now
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			Musa alayhis salam
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			and Isa Alehissalaam.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			They were two of the most
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:31
			blessed messengers that Allah subhanaw taala chose from amongst mankind.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:41
			In fact, some of the Ottoman they said they are from the old Azim they are from the five greatest
messengers those who had great and strong resolve.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:53
			So most early Sudan was given the torah, a salad Sudan was given the Injeel these two messengers
were sent to who they were sent to bento Israel. They were sent to Ben it was
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:54
			okay.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			Now, Ben, eel is not the whole of the dunya
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:08
			Minute Israel is not every single person on this earth. So the revelation that Allah subhanaw taala
gave to Israel.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Is that valid
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			for other people?
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			I'll say something further as well, to make it clear what I'm saying.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			That when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was chosen as a messenger
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			that was an OB at that time
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:40
			that his wife Khadija Radi Allahu anha took the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to war
rocketship. nofas
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			who at that time Uttanasana, who became what become a Christian
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			and was reading Christian scripture.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:00
			Now, what aka Radi Allahu anhu, was from Israel. No, he was not fun, but it was while he was from an
Arab.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			So what was the Arabs doing reading the revelation?
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10
			or parts of the revelation that was given to Benu? Israel eel?
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			It's an important question.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:23
			Because here you may be thinking that Allah subhanaw taala is now choosing certain nations to have
revelation and neglecting others. This is not the case.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:31
			Because Allah subhanaw taala tells us in sort of 32 Mr. Calacatta Jinnah will insert Lilia Boone
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			when Allah subhanaw taala created Adam,
		
00:11:36 --> 00:12:09
			Allah azza wa jal created Adam that Adam and Adam would worship Allah subhanaw taala created jinn
that they would worship Allah as alone. And all revelations that came throughout time before Musa
and before ASA, Allah Himself, the same message was propagated amongst people. Now, the fact that
one particular messenger was sent to a particular people was reinforcing the message amongst that
people. But it didn't mean that the message of a towhead which is of course, in all of them, is not
applicable to other people.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			So when what aka
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:20
			are the Allahu Anhu he saw here that the Prophet alayhi wa salam had been chosen by Allah subhanaw
taala he knew and he realized
		
00:12:22 --> 00:13:06
			that the those revelations that prophesized or coming of a new messenger and he recognized that that
was in fact that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, and accepted Islam. He embraced Islam. And very
shortly after that he that he died. Yes, it's well, it's widely known that Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu
was the first of the men to embrace Islam from this ummah. Now, however, the Allah might have said
that what a karate Allah I know, had accepted the message from that what he knew on those first aid
that was given to the Prophet alayhi salam after then it became clearer. And for that reason they
say from this, if you like that double bucket or the line who was chosen or seen as the first man to
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			embrace Islam from from the Ummah
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:43
			Okay, so these are the, the third, the third characteristic, or the fourth, I should say that Allah
subhanaw taala mentioned mentions concerning the believers, the first one is belief and unseen,
establishing the prayer, giving charity or given from the provisions that Allah Israel has given to
us. The fourth one was to have belief in that what Allah azza wa jal gave to us, all of it, without
exception, without picking and choosing everything that Allah subhanaw taala revealed to us in Al
Quran is applicable
		
00:13:44 --> 00:14:03
			at all times in any situation, and it's not allowed for any Muslim or any individual to say, but
this part of the Quran is no longer applicable, unless the area has been abrogated, and that there
are clear evidences to to establish that
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:21
			in fact, that this was the practice of previous nations that they would have believed in part of the
revelation and that they would leave part of the revelation. And these are two that are not too not
too far into sort of third bucket and we will discuss them shortly inshallah Anna.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			So that was the fourth
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:32
			characteristic. The fifth one is Allah subhanaw taala says, We're Bill Herati, whom you can own
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			and that in the Hereafter, that they have full certainty.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:15:00
			Certainty is that knowledge or that acceptance of something without any doubt or tool without the
need to do whatever, that the person accepts that as it is? That everything that Allah subhanaw
taala has informed
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:21
			us concerning the era, the resurrection, that will happen after death. And that what follows from
the affairs of Yeoman pm the weighing of the deeds or the person or the scrolls, and everything that
will happen, that the person has full yaki in full certainty in that.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:40
			So these characteristics which are five, Allah subhanaw taala says, Hola, Erica, those are these
people that Allah subhanaw taala has just described. They are either who they have, they are upon
guidance.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:53
			They are upon a Nord Aminullah, they are upon a light from Allah subhanaw taala. They haven't given
an insight from Allah subhanaw taala what Allah eco humo lovely home
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			and that they are the successful ones,
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:04
			that they are successful in this life and that they are successful in the Hereafter,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:27
			that they shall have that they used to seek in this life, that Allah azza wa jal will grant them by
His mercy agenda. And Allah subhanaw taala will give them eternal rewards, that what they will find
in the Paradise and that they will have safety, from the torment that Allah subhanaw taala has
prepared for those who disbelieved.
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:36
			So Allah subhanaw taala, begins Surah Al Baqarah with the description of the believers.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:43
			And some of the most important characteristic characteristics I mentioned here,
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:47
			beginning with belief in the unseen
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:15
			establish establishing prayer, giving charity or giving from provisions. Having belief in the
previous messengers and the messenger, the message is well it was given to them the revelation and
having certainty having your pain in the affairs of the Hereafter, that these people are upon who
the man or woman and that they are the successful ones.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:20
			Then Allah subhanaw taala after describing
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			and telling us
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:32
			who the believers are, Allah subhanaw taala then informs us who are the opposite of this, who would
opposite of these people
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			and here in two verses, verses number six and verse number seven,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:58
			Allah subhanaw taala says, in a Lavina Kapha Russa on Ailee him and tell him I'm lamb to this room
let me noon kottam Allahu Allah Kulu be him while summary him What about Saudi him militia what what
or whom other boo now him
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:11
			that Verily those who disbelieve it is the same to them whether you want them or you do not want
them, they will not believe
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:24
			this the first verse in numbers, verse number six, which will, we'll discuss now. So in a Lavina
Cafaro indeed, of Verily those who disbelief
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:33
			so Allah subhanaw taala described to us the believers now Allah azza wa jal is going to describe
some characteristics of the disbelievers.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:39
			The fact that there's only two verses means that we'll be concise and to the point.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			So the disbelievers are who
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			Alladhina Cafaro from the Cafaro means to cover or to hide.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:59
			So I'll care for how is the singular and kuffaar which is the plural of those who have hidden,
they've chosen to hear hide their belief,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:09
			not from the fog, not from hypocrisy, because we'll discuss that shortly. But they've openly chose
to
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:16
			reject the truth. They're hiding it not interested in it anymore or not at all.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			So these people
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			Allah subhanaw taala has misguided they have been misguided because they are not deserving.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33
			Is this fair?
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			Allah subhanaw taala guides those who are deserving and the good people
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			and Allah subhanaw taala misguides those who are not deserving.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			And,
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:57
			number one, we are not to question Allah subhanaw taala because he is the owner of the Dominion.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			Allah azza wa jal owns everything
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			In within the creation and we are part of the creation.
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:12
			Allah subhanaw taala is for iunknown Lima you read that he subhanaw taala does as he wants.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			But Allah subhanaw taala being Allah Jalla wa Ala
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:29
			we know that in hola hola yo for Lima with Karla, that Allah azza wa jal will not oppress a mustard,
grey Mustard Seed of anything.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:55
			mustard green seed of any form of venom or oppression to anything, that there is complete, complete
justice and complete fairness. In anything that happens in this universe. Even though we may not see
that, we may not understand that, that our perception or understanding of anyone's situation will
always be restricted.
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:10
			You must always remember that whatever you look at your understanding, it's always restricted, you
always restrict the situation, to your understanding.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:18
			We are all blessed with different levels of understanding intellect, all of us different levels.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:30
			So a five year old child, or 10 year old child, a 15 year old child, a 30 year old adult, or looking
at the same situation,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			they will all look at it differently and have their own interpretation and understanding of it.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:47
			That's a clear example. Because then we can say what the different ages are, their understandings of
the situation will differ because of their age. Also,
		
00:21:49 --> 00:22:00
			when you find that people are at college or university, for example, they're at an age where they
have studied, they've worked hard for the exams.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:16
			And at the end, does everybody get the same mark? No, they don't. Not everybody gets the same mark,
they get different marks, he gets an A, she gets an A star, he gets he gets a seat, they give you
marks because they have different levels of understanding and perception.
		
00:22:17 --> 00:23:01
			This is something that they've studied for something they're actually going into, what about things
that we may pass by? And we may see a small cross section of an incident? Why did this happen? Why
did that happen? This shouldn't have happened. Why does this you know such a people being afflicted?
Why do they why does such people get you know so many things and blessed it seems to be blessed?
It's not for us to pass judgment or we should say and we should know for sure and have certainty of
that this is all part of Allah subhanaw taala this plan. And this is all part part of Allah azza wa
jal is either mercy or justice and it can involve punishment at times. So if a person is deemed to
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:37
			be misguided is because ultimately in their life that they will make choices and they will be a
people deserving of being from the hellfire, you may meet them for five minutes, and they may be a
nice person for five minutes, however, the rest of their life or they may do something in their
life, which will then render them to be from the people of hellfire, which is beyond your
comprehension. So it's never fair for you to make a judgment of that. So the fact that Allah
subhanaw taala may misguide certain people, that is because they are not deserving of an Islam. They
are not deserving of the greatest Nima that can be given to any of the Hulk and that is to become a
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			servant of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:47
			So these people whom Allah subhanaw taala misguides Allah subhanaw taala says concerning them, it is
the same.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:24:20
			And here it confirms when we speaking about the different types of Hidayat different types of
guidance that he did to Tofik the guidance which is the guidance of success, of accepting the
message of Allah azza wa jal, this is from Allah subhanaw taala not from you and I. So Allah
subhanaw taala says Salah on early him, it is the same to them, and I'm Lampton, do. You want them
don't want them matters not certain people will not be guided, learn, you know that they will not
believe
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:23
			there are times when you can.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:35
			You can meet a person, you can explain Islam to them, and you can make it as simple and as
digestible and as logical as you possibly can.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:59
			That the belief that they currently have, and the lifestyle that they're following, that you can
talk about it and you can talk about its falseness and the misguidance and what it will lead them to
and they will not and they will say yes, it is wrong. I shouldn't be doing this. I should be living
a life of purity of goodness and fairness and wash
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			ripping the creator that whom I recognize,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			and then they will walk away.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			And they will continue what they were doing and that they won't believe.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:16
			This is from Allah subhanaw taala. And many a time, you may come across
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:37
			a million times, I've seen it myself many times. But you can see a person that you've explained
Islam in a very simple way. And, you know, in principle, they accept it. They accept it. And I
challenge Subhanallah that, in principle, because guidance is not in our hands.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:50
			In principle, if you sit and you have enough time with a person, regardless of what they believe,
regardless of what they follow, you can give them a way of life which is superior.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:58
			If you explain Islam, as it should be explained to them, you will always have a superior way of life
to offer them.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:04
			Always, because Islam mystery is a superior way of life than other ways of life.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:40
			This is somebody's opinion, somebody may disagree with that, and say, Well, I believe that another
way of life is superior to Islam. Well, that's the good thing, that we all have that option of
having an opinion, I'm not going to force you to bow to accept my opinion, it's my opinion,
nonetheless, while I personally believe, and a Muslim would personally believe that they could, or
they always have the upper hand in that I can explain to you a purer way of life. So the Muslims
should never be ashamed. The Muslims should never feel as though that
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			or embarrassed even what they are following.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			Allah subhanaw taala has given us
		
00:26:50 --> 00:27:01
			a guidance from Him, which is superior. mere fact that it is by default is from Allah as origin. It
supersedes all ways of life. However,
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:22
			that person may not accept it. If they don't, you cannot force them. Let it cut off if it didn't,
there was no compulsion in religion, you cannot force them. You're going to force that person to
pray or to believe in Allah. It will be from Allah subhanaw taala they will be the guided one, if
Allah azza wa jal deems that they are to be guided.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:27
			So some people whether you got warned them or not that they will just disbelieve
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			that Allah subhanaw taala then further explains
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			Hotham, Allahu Allah Kulu be him.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:44
			That Allah subhanaw taala sealed their hearts.
		
00:27:46 --> 00:28:02
			Cutter they said this earlier means the himolla that shaytaan controlled them and when they, when
they obeyed Him, Therefore Allah sealed their hearts, hearing and their sight and they could neither
see the guidance nor here, comprehend or understand it.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:13
			So Allah subhanaw taala placed a seal over their hearts, what Allah sent me him
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:22
			and by that what they hear what I learned about Saudi him and over the eyes.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			So at times
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:33
			when you try to explain Islam in many different ways, you can see that that person is sealed.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:49
			Ultimately, we don't know the outcome of that person. In 10 years time, if they're given life, maybe
they will be guided. But here Allah subhanaw taala is saying that there are certain people who will
not be guided because of the evil.
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			We're not to know that.
		
00:28:53 --> 00:29:14
			If you meet the person, you can say that person see that's it's finished. No, you can't. You can't
place that judgment. Because you don't know the future. Allah subhanaw taala may guide that person
what is upon us to deliver the message of Islam. However, he Allah is written as describing to us
and telling us amongst his creation for mankind, there are believers and that there are
disbelievers,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:45
			for us to understand okay, their disbelief of why they disbelieved What's the situation with them,
Allah azza wa jal has sealed their hearts seal them, the ears and their eyes, that they are unable
to see the hawk and are unable to see the guidance. But why would Allah azza wa jal do that? Go back
to what we mentioned earlier. There are many things that we are not privy to that we don't know. But
if this is the state of a person, we know that this is what they are deserving or not to be given
Islam.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:51
			So what am Allahu Allah coulby him that Allah has set a seal on their hearts
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			like a stamp, and it occurs when a sin resides in the heart and surrounds it from all sides.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			And this submersion of the heart in sin constitutes stamp, meaning like a seal
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			so these two verses Allah subhanaw taala tells us
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:31
			the description of the disbelievers. There is another verse that even cathedra mentions in Surah
Nisa in verse 155.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:37
			What Allah subhanaw taala says Bella Baba Allahu alayhi Kufri him.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:44
			The indeed May Allah has set a seal upon their hearts because of their disbelief.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			He also mentioned even cathedral
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:57
			Hadith
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:10
			and this hadith in Sahih Muslim that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to God will fit in
who Anil Kuru we can have say your Rodin or wooden that the Fitton
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:19
			offered to the hearts, just as the the straws are sewn into the woven mat, one after the other.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26
			Any heart that accepts this fitna and then a black dot will be engraved on it.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			Any heart that rejects that fitten
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:44
			the then a white dot will be engraved on it. The heart or the hearts will then become one of two
categories. White just like the barren rock, no fitna should ever Hamat
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			as long as the heavens and the earth are in existence.
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:51
			And another category is the black heart.
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:56
			Just as the cup that is turned upside down,
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			it cannot keep anything on it.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:05
			For this heart does not recognize righteousness, or renounce evil.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:17
			So just a brief understanding of this hadith, that the person or the battle Adam, all of us will be
tested with many trials continuously all the time.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:26
			And that the person who falls into sin or falls into events or comes to the fitna, then the heart
will begin to change.
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:42
			black dots will appear on that heart until if they continue like that will become a black heart. But
if they begin to protect themselves from the sins from these trials and tribulations, then they will
have a strong heart a pure heart,
		
00:32:44 --> 00:33:00
			and that they will not be affected by Fitton. As long as the heavens and the earth are in existence.
That evil wrong heart, which is now black, as the Prophet salallahu Irishman says, does not
recognize righteousness or renounce evil.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:07
			So we understand that the good heart does understand what righteousness is, and does renounce evil.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			The black heart does not do that.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			So you may
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			come across or live in a time when
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:37
			people are so engaged in sin, that when you command the good forbid the evil, they do not understand
what you talking about. Because they don't have no concept of what is good, or what is bad, what is
evil. What is righteousness,
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:43
			that culture, or the times that they move through will dictate
		
00:33:44 --> 00:34:07
			not guidance from Allah subhanaw taala. But the social norms amongst the people will dictate that
what's righteousness, that's what's good, and what is evil. So, you will find that what was evil 20
or 30 years ago, that was looked down upon is now widely accepted and even promoted. And that what
we see
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:19
			is even possibly illegal, if you like, and wrong and evil in 2014 was to say, in 2024, if this dunya
exists,
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:20
			that
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25
			what we see as evil now could be something promoted.
		
00:34:27 --> 00:34:27
			So
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			going back to what we're talking about,
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:42
			and that is the preservation of our hearts and those who have been misguided Allah azza wa jal has
sealed their hearts because of the sin and evil they have engaged in.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			So Allah subhanaw taala says
		
00:34:53 --> 00:35:00
			that he is said to see in the hearts on on the hearings were either about Swati him with a shower
and put the covering over there.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:00
			eyes.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:19
			So as even cathedra, he says, alopecia we're covering is accurate, what it means for the stamp that
is placed on the heart and the hearing, while the ratio is covering appropriately placed over the
ice.
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:28
			So there was a Hutton, there was a seal on the heart, and there was a seal in the hearing. And there
is a covering of the ice.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:40
			So Allah subhanaw taala, set a seal on their hearts and the hearings, so that they could neither
understand, nor could they hear.
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43
			Because the heart is the place of understanding.
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:50
			And your eyes is from that what you will, you will rather your hearing is what we're going to see
here rather.
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:59
			So there is a seal over that. And lastly, there is a shower, there was a covering over the ice.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:02
			So recognize that
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:28
			you can deliver the message of Islam, you've made it as clear as possible, as logical as possible to
make clear as possible that what they are believing in is wrong is false and they will agree with
you. However, they will not be guided right then or may never be guided. But you have delivered the
message and that is all that is required of you.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:41
			As Allah subhanaw taala he tells us in NEMA Antonio reveals to the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
but you are only a warner.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:52
			One Allahu Allah Coonley che in Joaquin and that Allah subhanaw taala is okay to dispose of affairs
of all things.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:05
			And likewise, Allah subhanaw taala says in NEMA Isley Curbelo what Elaine and he said that your duty
is only to deliver the message and on us is the reckoning.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			So as delivering guidance to people it's not it's not in our hands.
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:13
			So after describing
		
00:37:16 --> 00:37:17
			the believers,
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:30
			and then Allah has described the disbelievers very, very short in a short when two verses is the
third type of people or is it there are two camps
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:38
			because those who enter the Jannah are the moon, the believers the Muslim Moon
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:43
			those who will enter the Hellfire are kuffaar
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:48
			the disbelievers those who rejected Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:37:49 --> 00:37:51
			However, Allah subhanaw taala describes
		
00:37:53 --> 00:37:55
			a third type of people.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:22
			Now this third type of people, there is a great deal of explanation concerning them. Because the
affair of the believer is clear, clear, black and white. These are the believers this is what they
accept. This is what they follow the disbelievers this is what they follow. This is the way that
they want to live their lives. It's very clear, doesn't need vast explanation of the nature of these
people.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:29
			However, there is a third type of person and they are wonderful goon hypocrites
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:37
			and he Allah subhanaw taala mentions a number of verses concerning the motor vehicle loan
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			and that is because
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:44
			of the
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:49
			deceptive and hidden nature
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:56
			because they appear to be one thing when in actual fact that they are something else.
		
00:38:57 --> 00:39:00
			It is something hidden from us.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:04
			So I'll Munna from the word Neff aka
		
00:39:06 --> 00:39:26
			what does that mean? NIFA hypocrisy you know a tunnel is called a Norfolk and Arabic enough that
what goes underneath something through a mountain for example or whatever you're going to put a
tunnel through something which you appear it looks solid it looks hold but in fact that there was
something going through
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			what is a Munna? filk
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			al Muna affect
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37
			all those who show belief
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:45
			externally, outwardly that they will show belief in Allah.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:50
			But internally, they will hide cover,
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			they will hide their disbelief.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:57
			So since the matter of the hypocrites is vague
		
00:39:58 --> 00:40:00
			and many people do not
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:08
			Don't know how to really understand or know the true reality. Allah subhanaw taala mentioned their
description in detail
		
00:40:09 --> 00:40:17
			each of their characteristics that Allah subhanaw taala used to describe them. Describe them with is
a type of hypocrisy itself.
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:21
			And there are other chapters in the Quran.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:34
			For example, similar to Bala or sort of the tilba And verse number nine, there's a big exposition
concerning the munafo Kuhn and in fact, that there is a chapter chapter 63, Surah Tomonaga. Kuhn,
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:38
			the chapter of the hypocrites
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:44
			and that there is also description of the monarchy accordion Surah to note as well.
		
00:40:47 --> 00:40:54
			So, NIFA means to show conformity, to show agreement, but to conceal evil.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:08
			And there are two types of default types, there is hypocrisy in creed, in belief.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			And it is this type of default
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:20
			which will cause an individual to reside in Hellfire for eternity.
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			So, that is the one that is
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:47
			who externally says I am a Muslim may pray with people may give charity may fast with people may do
acts of worship amongst the believers. But their belief their creed is actually not in line with
their actions.
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:54
			In fact that they are her concealing and hiding cover disbelief. Rejection
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			The second type of an effect is NIF Arkona Amelie.
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:12
			So the first one is the Falcon Arkadi and the Falcon ones belief the second one is the Falcon Amelie
hypocrisy in one's actions
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			and this may occur by
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			a person committing a major sin
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:27
			Okay, there are certain characteristics that the munafo and are known for
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:32
			which we will discuss shortly and Allah subhanaw taala mentions them as well.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:53
			So there may be certain deeds that the hypocrite the hypocrites are known for now if a person a
believer may fall into one of these actions may do the action of the hypocrites. This doesn't mean
that they are now like those who have any fault in their belief.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:43:25
			This is not the case those who have new Falcon the belief means that that they have rejected Islam
that said that they don't like Islam they're just doing it for a front for the people. However, and
if I can Amelie hypocrisy in action or deed, is that they have belief in Allah subhanaw taala that
they try their best, however, that they may do an action which may be from the actions of a people
that had difficulty if he speaks he lies. This is like an attribute from the hypocrites
		
00:43:26 --> 00:44:10
			with Tommy Mahan. If he's given a trust, he deceives these are deeds these are actions which the
hippo the hypocrites are known for. If a believer did that, a Muslim did that. It doesn't mean that
they are in the lowest pits of the Hellfire. But no they have committed a major sin. And if they
continue doing these kinds of deeds, that they may draw them towards these types of people, based
upon what we mentioned earlier in the term in terms of how sins will affect a person, if they can
keep committing sins, sins, sins, sins and sins, till their heart becomes black, that they don't
know what good is what righteousness is and what is bad, then they of course, inevitably, the heart
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:10
			may become
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:16
			misguided and then they have become a disbeliever because of their actions and what they are
involved in.
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:23
			So the beginnings of hypocrisy
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:28
			the revelations concerning the mafia gone
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:34
			and the characteristics of the mafia Quan began in El Medina.
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:39
			This is because they will no wonder if you're born in hypocrite in Makkah.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:49
			Now it is very simple to understand why there were no Munna if you're born in Mk.
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:58
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the Sahaba that they were in Makkah for 13 years. And
eventually they had to leave
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			because
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:05
			because of the persecution and because of the difficulties that they were going through
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:19
			now, why would an individual Why would a person who doesn't believe in this remain in Mecca, you
know, receive punishment and be persecuted for nothing.
		
00:45:20 --> 00:45:21
			Because
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:27
			this the hypocrite doesn't believe in Islam.
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:36
			they've rejected Islam they're portrayed in a portraying another external picture of themselves but
internally, they have rejected Islam.
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:44
			Even though they may think they actually believe they have tricked themselves, as we will shortly
describe,
		
00:45:45 --> 00:45:48
			only when in Medina, so it is clear why there is no mana if you're going
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:59
			to be a Muslim in Makkah means that you're going to be persecuted very difficult life, the manof is
not going to do that. I don't even have to do that. Only in Medina where the Muslims had
		
00:46:01 --> 00:46:03
			a safe haven. It was
		
00:46:06 --> 00:46:14
			permissible and allowed for them to freely practice Islam without any fear of being persecuted or
punished or fear of an enemy.
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:21
			Here the hypocrites that they could hide amongst the Muslims, they could hide.
		
00:46:23 --> 00:46:28
			So, here you find Allah subhanaw taala, then explaining the characteristics of the motor vehicle.
		
00:46:31 --> 00:46:38
			In fact, the reality is zipline cathedra himolla. He said that the opposite was in Makkah, people
pretended
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:45
			to be Muslims. There were some people because of the intense
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:52
			persecution and punishment. There were those people who uttered words of disbelief so that they
wouldn't be punished
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:56
			to protect their Deen they had Eman
		
00:46:58 --> 00:47:09
			under they were not rendered to be disbelievers. They wanted to protect their Islam by saying
certain words to people so that they will be left alone. So they wouldn't be murdered. Or they
wouldn't be.
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:15
			They weren't stolen. So they said certain things would be could be considered Cofer.
		
00:47:17 --> 00:47:24
			However Allah Spano was aware of this situation. So the opposite was in. It's in Makkah from El
Medina.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:35
			Now, there were two tribes that accepted Islam in the medina arsenal, huzzah, Raj, these two tribes
before Islam, were
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:40
			idolatrous tribes used to worship different idols.
		
00:47:42 --> 00:47:44
			Also in Medina, there were three other tribes.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47
			They were benoquin of
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:49
			Benin are there
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:56
			and by Nicaragua? These were three Jewish tribes that resided in El Medina.
		
00:47:57 --> 00:48:00
			Are these five tribes to accept that Islam also has lunch?
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:05
			Now
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:12
			does anybody know
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:20
			of these two tribes who was the leader of these two tribes, the leaders of these two tribes because
tribes they have tribal leaders,
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:23
			tribal leaders
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:25
			Yes, I was in college
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:29
			man Seidman
		
00:48:32 --> 00:48:37
			sadly, but nobody was of college and never good.
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:42
			Be
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			more health side
		
00:48:46 --> 00:49:07
			was the side of house that will answer the old answer. Monica well done. So these are the two tribal
leaders signed up the more oath of house and sat a different provider of coverage. These are the two
tribal leaders and they embraced Islam Hamdulillah.
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:20
			And they proclaimed that Islam openly and two well known companions Radi Allahu anha. Now amongst
these people, from the tribes, others,
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:27
			that they hit their cover, there was an opportunity for them to create mischief.
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:45
			Now, before the coming of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam is good, if you read the set as well,
that there is some, you know, some pretext to happen. And that there was a person that was going to
be named like almost like the king of what was known then as Yathrib.
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:49
			And his name was Abdullah Hypnobabies Salut.
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:59
			And when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam came to tribes embraced Islam, gave by
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:00
			to him
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:03
			and there was an agreement in Medina
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:09
			that pretty much that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was, was in charge.
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:14
			Islam had essentially been given rule.
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:21
			Now his position as being Lido King was no longer an option. So he was upset.
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:26
			So, he was the head of the monarchy.
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:28
			We can say that retrospect we know that now.
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:34
			So him and other people they hit their cover.
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:46
			And there many examples as we'll go through some I'll talk about certain incidences, but it's also
good to read the seer of the Prophet eras of Salaam in understanding the nature of Mafia con as
well.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:52
			So, the beginning of hypocrisy really began in Medina
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			and inshallah to Allah the next lesson we will talk about
		
00:50:58 --> 00:51:15
			the verses from eight onwards, where Allah subhanaw taala talks about the minority of bone and their
nature may last month Allah protect us from the FOC or SallAllahu wasallam Mubarak Alana Muna
Muhammad and while early he was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
