smuggler was set up to a certain I don't know. So they were early on
sahih woman Wila
we've reached verse 31 in our session on sort of TSC
and previously that we looked at the verses of Allah to Allah. Yeah
Hassan Alton EBRD nya team and Sunnah can be haemostatic Musa has
yester Has y'all let me rock him Alekna kaboom in the Quran and
Anila him now you have June
when coluna Manjimup de nama go don't
so actually what we we actually that started from that
Walmart ends and I love home and but I didn't engender Minnesota in
America No. muzzin in Canada, it let's say Hatton work, I didn't
feed him how me doing? Yeah, hustler didn't add an event in my
team that can be used as your own. So vs 2829 and 30. And today that
we will start verse 31, we need to add, and so that verse 28,
translates after him, we do not send any army from heaven against
his people, nor were we about to, it was about one cry, and they
fell down lifeless. Alas for the servants. Whenever messenger comes
to them, they ridicule him. So then in verse number 31, that
Allah subhanaw taala explains the state of a willing the people that
came before.
And this is why it's very important when we understand the
history that appears in the Quran, it is sacred history.
And the difference between sacred history and that normal history.
Or if you will, just standard history that we tend to study is
sacred history. There's meanings that we learn from it. And when it
comes to those that are the beloved to Allah, there is
emulation involved, we want to be like them. And when it comes to
those who that disbelieve, for instance, that we want to avoid
it. So sacred history is there to teach us lessons. Whereas many
people just study history for the sake of knowing just to study some
type of phenomenon, or this happened or that happened, that
sacred history is different, because there are lessons of the
past, that we learn that so that we can in the moment that figure
out what is what we can do.
And so a lot to add, it says in verse number 31, LM Euro can
lakanal cobbler home and in a pony and home la him la Yoji.
Do they not see how many generations We have destroyed
before them? None of them whom will ever come back to them?
And so, what we learned from this verse is that Allah subhanho wa
taala, is clarifying to us, the
state of the people who came before us. And that, first and
foremost, is that this is addressing the people of NACA, who
are the ones that said to the prophesy center, that you are not
you have not been sent.
And so it is put in the form of a question
that is indicating that this is something that we must know, do
they not see how many generations
and that we know that Allah Subhanallah data, that there are
people that he punished, and he destroyed people that came before
the people of add the people of hurting him before him, nor people
in the mood that people have not heard Imagine, for around in his
army, there are people who came before and as a result of their
denial and behind the messengers is that they had a punishment here
in this world, let alone relation to that the next world and the way
that Allah Tada says, This LM Euro, do they not see, even though
that you could use this word see for other than actually your
physical eye?
And that yes, seeing as you see with your physical eye, but also
that seeing could come from thinking about something and that
this is what is called a Korea, a type of mental type of seeing that
comes from knowledge that we have of the past. It says if that we
are seeing the past through this process of study. In other words,
the knowledge that that comes to the surface as a result of that
study gives us the clarity of sight about what actually
happened. And this is some
thing that we know that there have been people of the past who have
been destroyed LM Euro club and I'm going to koroni Do they not
see how many generations we have misto destroyed before them. And
that this is also to that teach us is that
that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
that the people that did come before is that these are not
people that are just going to be left based upon what they did here
in this world, there's going to be consequences for what happens to
them, even in the next world. And so none of them will ever come
back to them, in other words, is that they're not going to be able
to hear what it is that they said happened to them after they
returned to Allah Subhan who went to Allah.
And then a lot of work what to add it in verse number 32, once the
index to indicate to us the existence of a sub and accom,
which is the reckoning, and that will take place in the next world.
And the potential punishment even happens after this world. And
verse 32, we're in Kulu, Nana Jaime de Namur doll, yet all of
them will be brought before us.
Yet all of them will be brought before us.
And when we study these verses, is that sometimes the meanings are
fairly easy to understand. And what it really is about is this
process of what you call emotional affectation, whereby which every
verse that you read, is that you want to bring about or have
brought about within yourself the correct emotional response to that
verse.
And, for instance, when we that hear verses that relate to a lot
of adequate other destroying people, that we should that bring
to mind the majestic attributes of Allah. And then the emotion that
should rise to the heart is one of fear and trepidation, that this
could happen to us. In so far from getting caught up in wondering,
why would Allah destroy people and so forth. The point is, is that
how we respond to these verses, when we hear these verses about
people being destroyed, they should bring about fear and
instill fear in our hearts. And when we hear for instance, like in
verse 32, when could Luna magic Jimmy the lane of the road, it all
of them will be brought before us. That reflection requires us to
actually imagine that, imagine our soul being taken, and we are being
brought forth. What is used here is, look, don't hold or is
presents. But if you put it in verbal form, your little is to
make someone present. And if someone is not above, they've made
to be present. In here that methadone is in the plural, is it
all of them, Jimmy and Dana methadone, all of them will be
brought before us. In other words, they will be driven to us that I
had done that, and that by force, and they have no choice in this,
and they will be brought to us so that we can recommend them. And
then that two way their deeds, the good and the bad, alike, and to
end to that give a judgement towards that each every single one
of them.
And so that all of the woman, all of the previous nations that came
before us, as every single one of them, will be brought to the hisab
to the reckoning on the day of judgment before Allah subhanaw
taala. And he will not judge every single person's actions. And this
is similar to the words of a lot of other incertitude we're in a co
Lynham Wi Fi and no homework book.
And that translates as and indeed, that all of them, that will be
that
all of them will be that take into account by the Lord for their
acts, and he will give any every physical person what is that they
deserve. In other words, is that
the consequences here in this world are just one thing, this is
where it starts, but the greatest of consequences happen. And the
next rule when we stand before not about a quarter Allah for the
reckoning.
And then in verse number 33 Allah
It says when I returned home and all donated to
a herd and them in their husband, and then
there is a sign for them in the lifeless Earth, the dead Earth, we
give it life and we produce grain from it for them to eat.
So notice here that Allah to add it was that putting in the form of
a question. But we're particular rhetorical purpose is that do they
not see how many generations we have disturbed, destroyed before
them. And then the images after that yet all of them will be
brought before us. And so that the destruction here was in this
world, and then they were brought before us. And this will happen
that in the next world, and then that Allah to Anna, that wants to
give us a sign, whereby which the we can come to the conclusion that
there is a resurrection.
And that he says there was a sign for them in the lifeless, dead
Earth.
We give it life and we produce grain from it for them to eat.
And this is a very common Quranic rhetorical device. Whereby which
that we are reminded of the wonders in creation, and how they
point to the Oneness of Allah to Allah, that they point to the
perfection of Allah to Allah, and that all of the great attributes
of Allah subhana wa Tada, were called to reflect upon his
creations of Panama data. And that the result of that reflection is
that we come to know certain attributes city has supplanting
the data, and specifically here
off of the tree
lives
in when you first look at it, you can't imagine how something could
actually grow again, on that leafless tree or on that, that
piece of land that has nothing on it.
And that, then all of a sudden, spring comes, and the weather
starts to get a little bit warmer, and everything is prepared, the
leaves start to come back upon the trees is that the flowers start to
go out, come out. And as you plant the seeds, shortly, that after is
that things start to grow again in that barren Earth. And these are
signs, just as those things appeared dead, but were brought
back to life. And that sense, likewise, the one who caused that
to happen can sometimes have more data, that, as He wills cause
human beings to also be resurrected.
And so this is here for us to think about the all of these
manifestations that we see her in the world of death, and how that
they are then turned to life can point to Allah to others that
ability, and he's all powerful subhanaw taala, to that create a
resurrection and to bring that all human beings who died back to
life.
And so that I had to normal alternated again. So that giving
life to this dead Earth will offer us men who have been and we
produce grain from it for men who yet Kowloon for them to eat in
grain of all different sorts, whether that's barley, or whether
that's wheat, or whatever it is corn, grain of all different
sorts, and not how to brings it forth from the earth subhanho
data. And so that this is a clear indication of not only his
existence, but also his the ability, the power that he has to
bring about the resurrection subhanaw taala, but it requires us
to reflect, if we just look at it, and we just think that oh, it's
just something that is happening. This is just the way it is because
it will be cut off from that potential meeting. But by
witnessing this, it indicates to us because everything ultimately
is a manifestation of one of the names and attributes of Allah to
Allah, that every act is ultimately an act of God from the
standpoint of reality subhanho wa Taala
and remember, Razi that indicates to us that by form of a question,
that how does this relate to the verses that came before and he
says that it relates to the relates to the verses that came
before in two ways? That one, that when Allah subhanaw taala said
will include Luna Jamia lady in the room yet all of them will be
brought before us. Canada attic II shatter technical hashes indicates
the resurrection for that Cara Maya, doula and Kenny kata and
encoding as it indicates that that meaning if we reflect upon it,
which would indicate to us Allah's ability to that resurrect people
and that the site
One aspect of this is, is it when Allah subhanaw taala mentioned the
state of the more setting of the messengers, and that the
destruction of those who deny them is that what kind of shalom a door
he that kind of a la, and that this matter was ultimately a
matter of that belief in the Divine unity. Is that the
indicator what indicates it? Well, but only Konya. Mecanim. Now, my
father had that home in her, and it had a kind of circle. And he
began with what was close to them, which was this birth.
And so that they're here on the earth. And so I given an example
of here on Earth and witnessing that what took place before them
should indicate to them attributes of Allah to have adequate data
that would that help them come to that the right conclusion, but
this is the nature of disbelief is that things are covered up.
He also points out a another very interesting point, that he says
here
that the earth is ultimately a sign for everyone.
And so why does a lot I'd say what I attend a home, there is a sign
for them.
Meaning those who that denied the truth, but the earth is really a
sign for everyone. And this is really a spiritual point that he
points out. Why would Allah to Allah specified as a sign for
them? He says is that because is that whoever that knows something?
As he says here, that emblem an artifice, che Metallica, Roja,
live with Carlo delille, whoever knows someone by the path of
witnessing is that they're not in need of a proof of it.
So for instance, the sun if you're looking at the sun, and you don't
have to have anyone prove to you when you see the sun right before
your eyes, the sun is actually sign me shining. But what he means
here is that a spiritual,
of having that a strong faith at the level of the heart and seeing
with the eye of the heart, because he says that the Prophet and the
righteous servants of Allah autofull Allah couplet Andhra
sinner, they knew a lot before knowing the earth and the heavens,
Felisa turned out what are referred to in the home, that the
Earth itself is that not going to that take them to a knowledge of
Allah.
Because they are new allow before the earth the vast majority of
people that do as was mentioned, come to know the attributes of
Allah through what he has in his creation. subhanaw taala. And he
says, in this is like Allah to Allah says, so nobody can identify
it, I think you will find Hussein we shall surely show them Our
signs, the in the horizons and in their own cells update at the
beginner level, and Hawk until it becomes clear to him that this is
truth. And then the verses that hit another verse, I want him to
come get a break and no other coalition shaheed. And so the
whole point here is is that
that this is a subtle indication of this elite group of creation,
is that their knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala that is so strong,
is that, when that is that they see everything that he's created,
some kind of want to add, is that they see it in the way that it's
supposed to be seen, as opposed to that having what it is that they
see, indicate to them the existence of Allah, and there's no
doubt that the former is higher.
And then Allah to Allah says in verse number 34, what your honor
if you had your nuttin when the when and where and I've been with
Jana fee one minute, are you we have put gardens of date palms in
grapes and the earth and we have made springs of water gush out of
it. So there's a lot to add is describing now, that what happens
when he subhanho data brings this earth back to life. And that after
the grain that comes forth for it for people to eat, he also puts
gardens of date palms and grapes in the earth. And he's made
springs of water gush out of it. And the reason that Allah He
mentions here date palms and grape vines is that these were the two
most precious fruits in the Arabian Peninsula. And that can
also that point to all other that pourraient other that that forms
of plant life, whereby which is that we are provided for and this
word java in the Arabic language is very similar to how
Law, which is to create, and he, we translate it here we have put
when it's similar to the word create. And so Allah to Allah has
that given us these things here in this earth. And if you really
think about it, that think about the blessing of these two fruits,
dates in grapes, and everything that you can do with them, and all
of their different states, and that you could eat grapes fresh,
or is that you could, that dry them, and all of the benefits from
them and how they can store for a, that will be stored for a long
period of time. And just think about the sweetness of these
fruits. And that really lingered is that they can be used for as
well. And that how also is that tundra is even though it's on one
hand, a fruit, but it's also a type of coat. It's also a type of
staple food.
And there were times not too long ago, that in some of the places
that we studied, where this was actually what people would get as
a wage, they would get their wage in dates,
and the staple food that would primarily be bread and dates,
that's what they would eat that on many occasions.
And then I'd like to under says layup quote them in February, he
will not I mean to add him FLH colo so that they could eat its
fruit, it was not their own hands that made all this How then can
they not give thanks.
So that Allah Tada is that reminding his servants is that he
brought these into existence here on earth. And he brought the earth
to life, and but gardens on it, and all different types of trees
and bushes that have all different types of plants like that, deep
homes, and that great bushes and others.
And he Subhanallah data has given us rivers, that whereby which that
we get water. And all of these blessings, ultimately, is that so
that they could eat its fruit.
And that it was not their hands that made all of this, even though
outwardly that they're farming and all of that and to doing
everything is that by the way of means for these things to be
harvested. The reality is, it's from a ledger ledger data.
And this is why it's one of the greatest ways to earn a living is
agricultural, actually mentioned this in the books of book, it's
one of the greatest ways to earn a living. And there were many of the
righteous people before us.
That will be on the prophetic period that were farmers. And many
of them were also great scholars. But even St. Omaha Bob, for
instance, was a farmer. This is a very noble profession in a very
noble way to learn to earn money. And again, like most things in the
modern world, when it becomes overcomplicated, and all of the
problems that have arisen from these mega farms, and the whole
food industry and so forth, is an issue, nevertheless, is that this
remains one of the great ways to that earn a living, and all of the
blessings that come through it by being close to the Earth and
living close to the Earth and seeing the signs of Allah data,
and learning all of these traits that you will naturally learn when
you tilt the earth and care for it and you that grow things, and then
you harvest them and everything that needs to be there in terms of
your character in order to do that, in that kind of a way that
is consistent. There's a lot that you learn from it.
And so is that so that they could eat its fruit. It was not their
hands that made all this. But still even with all of that human
effort, that ultimately we are not to be for lack of adequate data,
they would not be able to eat any of that fruit, none of it would
actually grow. And it wouldn't be in existence to begin with. And
then a fillet fish coral. How can they not give thanks?
How can we not give things and there's something about a state of
heart of Cofer that closes the door of true gratitude. How can we
not give thanks for everything that is that we have. But the
problem is if we live in a time where the average grocery store
houses
47,000 products and 80,000 square feet. And this is not even getting
into the larger stores. Yes, some people shop in smaller ones, you
know, but this is very common to find grocery stores this large in
with all the different produce looking that almost too good on
that shelf. And that all the different choices that we have.
It's very easy to forget the blessings that we
Have a very easy up alias call, how can they not give thanks? When
we have all of these buttons and we see all of this happen, that
our response should be responsive, giving thanks and showing true
gratitude to Allah. But to net Mati And elf, the pitfall of
blessings is getting used to them is becoming too accustomed to
them. It becomes a pitfall. And sometimes we get deceived, because
that we're unable to truly that remind ourselves and to be aware
of where these blessings are from. And this question should take us
to Allah subhanaw taala This is one of the great phrases that we
can come to love Allah, a hippo, Allah, Lima, Lima locomobi him in
Yama. love Allah for that which he provides you from his blessings.
So just think about the blessings upon you in particular, that all
different types of food that we have to eat. And we should give
thanks to Allah subhanaw taala. For that, and by giving thanks and
recognizing those blessings, how could you not love Allah, who has
that given you all of these blessing things, that this is
indeed one of the great ways of income to love him. And this is
why we have to be very, very careful all of us. And we've said
this before, but we always remind ourselves, to open up the food
pantry, and to say, there's no food
to open up the food pantry and say, oh, there's no food here,
mommy, daddy, that we need food. And sometimes it's not the kids
who do it. Sometimes it's adults, who will complain the husband to
his wife, or the wife or husband, there's no food. And no food
means, like in the story of the prophesy sentiment about ethos
is that when a man from the inside came to the prophesy center,
excuse me, he had a guest come to him.
And the this man was in need. And the Prophet wanted to help him and
serve him some food. So the house he was staying in that night, he
asked his wife that if they had any food, there was no food in the
house, all they had was water.
So he sent a message to all of his other households. And every single
one of them came back with same response. There is not any food in
the house. So we're not talking about not foods that are not
sizzling, we're not talking about not having potato chips, or snacks
or sweets or desserts or anything like that. There was no food in
the house, in any of the houses, all they had was water.
Imagine going to sleep at night, in literally having nothing in
your house. Nothing except water. It's unimaginable.
If we think about that, this has a different meaning of eliasch
Coral, how could they not give things of your school? How can
they not give things that is truly not having anything. And then the
prophesy sent Him that sent. I asked if there was anyone that
would take care of this. And a man from the unsalted I will yell
Rasul Allah. So he takes him back to the house. And just to show you
how widespread this phenomenon was, he asked his wife if they
have anything at home, and she says there's just enough food for
the kids. So he says put the kids to sleep, just try to find a way
to get to put them to sleep, and then prepare the food.
And so she found a way to put the kids to sleep. Imagine if our kids
had to go to sleep without dinner, no dinner. And keep in mind that
they're not snacking all day, the last time they would have eaten
would have been morning time likely. So not having any food.
And then not having multiple types of food, very simple food on top
of all that. And then I mean to sleep without dinner.
And so she puts the kids asleep. And then the man says to his wife,
there's not enough food, it's really except for our guest. So
when we start to eat, turn the lamp off so it's dark in the room,
and just pretend like you're eating
so they that serve the food, they turn the lamp off. And the husband
or wife pretend like they're eating so their guests can take
his fill. So he finishes the food. And they went to sleep without
food. And then the next morning, that hola to Anna that the
prophesizing that came out to them and said that your Lord is amazed
at what you did last night. He bought a book and the media RGB
here is contentment is content with what you did. And the verse
was revealed through Dona Ana and fusi him what kind of hot salsa
and they prefer others over
for their own selves, even if they be in absolute need. That's the
highest degree of generosity.
It's one thing to give charity, it's one thing to give that
charity when you don't really have a lot of money. But it's another
thing to that prefer others over your own self. But it's yet
another thing to prefer others over your own self, even when
you're actually in need an absolute need.
And they used to mention that when in that there will be times during
the times of the of the companions, where somebody would
gift make a dish and gift it to their neighbor. So they'd make
like a nice dish and gift it to their neighbor. And then that
neighbor would actually think about other people, maybe someone
else needs this more than me, and gives it to another neighbor than
to another neighbor, until they mentioned that to nine different
people. And then it actually came back to the one who first gave it.
So if that happened in our time, people would be like, oh, what
they didn't like my cookie. What did I not do something right?
These people were preferring others over their own selves. So
it wasn't just here's a gift I'm going to dig in and eat. They
actually thought before they ate, does someone need this more than
me? And so then they gifted it to their neighbor, does someone need
this more than me than they give it to their neighbor until it nine
people that went to until it came back to the original person.
And this is the way they were. And this is why that this is that
bears close to an ideal society if you're going to have here on
planet earth, and the mistakes of the companions are there for us to
know what to do when people make mistakes. But we believe that all
the companions have received the contentment of Allah Jalla gelato
AlFalah Yes, Kuru, how can they not give things? We have to give
things to a lot of adequate data for what it is that we have? And
then that after Allah soprano Tada that commanded us to have showcar
and that part of shortcode is that to have a vida and then he that
tells us soprano antenna after that, is that that we need to be
people who that preserve the transcendence of Our Lord
SubhanAllah. The halacha does Roger Kula mean meant unbeaten
although men for singing Wamena lie on the moon, Glory be to Him
who created all the pairs of things that the Earth produces, as
well as themselves and other things they do not know about.
And so that when we say Subhan Allah, that this is a kennemer of
10 Zia, that we are that acknowledging the transcendence of
Allah subhanho wa taala. In other words, is that Glory be to Him
Transcendent is He is it we as believers only ascribe
what is befitting to our Lord Subhanallah data in here Subhana
Allah the Glory be to Him who
Allah does was
who created all the pairs of all things. So this word as wodge, you
could translate it as pairs, or you could translate it as a snuff
the different types of things. So either the pairs of things like
man, woman, Heaven, Earth, Moon, sun, Night Day, or that you could
say is that it means the asana, the different types of things.
Both of those are valid
understandings of this word as watch. And that both really, that
relate to this verse. Because Allah Allah says, that the Earth
produces as well as themselves and other things they do not know
about.
So Allah to add to that created all the different types of things
that the Earth produces, trees, and all the different types of
trees and all the different types of fruits and all the different
types of foliage and everything of that nature, and all the different
tastes each of them have, and all the different scents that they all
have, and the way that they look, and all the different leaves and
trees and how the different trees look. And the different blossoms
on all of them. Some of them are fruit, grain, others are not all
of these different that types of things that we see coming from the
earth, this is all from Allah.
And the amazing thing is is that all of them require water. And so
water is a single entity, it comes down to the earth, and then all of
these things come from water. And that all multiplicity ultimately
comes from toe heat and all that
numbers essentially get back to one, and are a collection of a
series of ones seven is one, seven times 1313 is that 1313 ones added
together ultimately, everything gets back to the Oneness of Allah
subhanho wa Tada
Subhan Allah Holika, as was Aquila, Mina Tong Richard or the
woman and fusi him, as well as themselves, as well as themselves
is that the, that male female pair is one of the greatest archetypal
pairs that we find, and there are many others, and that we learned
through our knowledge of the pairs, a number of meanings and
there is deep wisdom in that one of them being is that everything
ultimately in a lot to add his creation points to his oneness is
that everything indicates his oneness subhanho wa Tada. And that
this is the foundation of all belief, the belief and Tawheed and
we also know will mean that Leia and a moon warrior Hulagu mulata,
and the moon in another verse, and he creates that what you don't
know there are things that we that Allah is created, that none of us
will ever, ever, ever, ever know. And no matter how much we discover
in science and there's nothing wrong with discovering things,
this is actually a good thing. It should strengthen our Amen. What
we will come to know will never be other than the tiniest tiniest
fraction of what there is to know from what Allah subhanaw taala has
created. And then in closing the chakra that is mentioned and the
Burhanuddin muddied by city Jeeva he says well I don't know him
enough said Mehta well jelly Archana Hubble en you can that say
that instead of the physical earth that is also relates to the knifes
is it when it's dead through ignorance Allah to Allah can bring
it to life with knowledge will offer seminary element Newtonian
and that we bring forth from it. That knowledge that comes from our
presence from in who to Dakota Dakota with Ottawa and it is that
from that knowledge is that the hearts and the spirits find
provision. Well Jana Thea Jana Tenma RF, and that we that place
for him then the gardens of Gnosis Medina, Fado Hayek from the palm
trees of spiritualities, where another Shaddai and the grapes of
that the sacred law will from Jenna fee him in a unit heckum and
that we cost a poor fourth from there, the springs of wisdom, let
go to Montana so he can eat from its fruits. When we met, I'm going
to add him in that which their hands have that
that have made men and Mujahidin mokaba that this relates to the
spiritual struggle that they put in and that with more and more
Shahadat because it get produces that this spiritual witnessing, so
permanently Herodotus was Aquila, and so that these pairs and types
also that we could speak of them, in addition to the spiritual
states, the while the station's the mahkamah, the aluminum out of
and everything of this nature that the scholars of the science do
discuss, and there are that many different levels of meaning in the
Quran. Equally I attend LaDonna, Lawton and Huginn will plateau or
mattala, every person has an outward meaning and in remaining a
