Smilla salatu salam ala Rasulillah he was sloppy woman or Allah
knowing Pty limited adding whenever I wouldn't do that what
are the carotid here are the further what is the federal has
added to Mississippi tabula also known as Rosaleen Salalah. And who
is sending Linda Island Hooda the lead
up to her hour she lied to other Omar Dotty akorbi with Robbie
subhanho wa taala.
We have reached verse 45 of sorority has seen where Allah
subhanaw taala says we either feel alone with Tacoma Bini decom, or
Muhammad for calm look toward her moon.
Yet when they are told, beware of what lies before and behind you,
so that you may be given mercy.
And this verse comes after the last two verses with state when
national political input acidic Alohomora home young cartoon and
that we could have if we wished that caused them to drown, and
there will be no one to help them nor would they be saved in Laura
Minton Mina, only save out of mercy from Us will Metatron and
our pain would they have been able to enjoy life for a while. In
other words is that this is the way that we have to approach the
means that anything that we do by way of the means we have to be
aware of when we are taking those means is that ultimately we're not
to be for the Mercy of Allah subhanho data, we would not be
able to benefit from those means. And then Allah to Allah says in
this verse what either kala home. Yeah, when it is said to them,
when they are told it uncle may have been a decal on the
headphone, that beware of what lies before in behind you look
into the Herman so that you may be given mercy. So in other words, is
it these people that have turned away from the signs of Allah
subhanaw taala then have chosen to deny them
that now that there is a different approach, it's to that tell them
to beware.
And even for Halina Razi that he says, What should I look at Irv
malerkotla The way that this verse relates to the verse that comes
before it, is that after Allah subhanaw taala mentioned a number
of signs, why it's an omelet, all Dwight and Homer laid it in
Harmon, not the reata. Home, the Earth, the night, the what Allah
to add to that, that causes them causing them to be safe, and that
the Ark
is that all of these are different signs. And that, even though they
didn't benefit these people, they didn't that bring about the state
of certainty and the existence of the Creator, that what email Razi
is saying, now moving to a discussion of that being aware
of that warning, is it as if that a lot to add a scene for the
column and then there is one either, but very least, is that
they should be aware that there could be consequences to what it
is that they're doing. And so he says that this is the wisdom and
now it's cool, that we translate here as beware. It is the same,
that root word that we have. It's also linguistic related to Taqwa.
It's cool, but here we're translating generally as WiiWare
muy bien ad comm woma heartful, calm, which translated here as
that that which lies before and behind you, and that they differ
about what that actually means. Some of them say that
my been a DICOM.
That which lies before method, like the events that took place to
the previous nations, that who denied their profits. Were my 100
fulcrum, and that which lies behind you, is that what's going
to happen on the Day of Judgment, according to an investment being
the ad calm, in other words, the akhirah the ever approaching
hereafter. And other words, is that, that work now towards it.
And then we'll know how Infocomm and what is behind you, in other
words, the dunya and the illusory nature of the dunya which entraps
people, that who are deceived by it. In other words, be aware of
the fitna of this dunya which is that in that sense, that moving
behind us every single day and the hereafter is approaching, or that
Mulvaney ad comb, that which lies before you, that that which
proceeded from
You're the new your sins will mahal fulcrum, and that which lies
behind you that what you're going to do after these are all things
that we should be wary of that we should be aware. And so now that
is this is what is said to them. And that beware of what lies
before and behind you, why locomotor hormone? So that you may
be given mercy.
In other words, is that this is the Road to Mercy is to live in a
good way where you are weary of what is it you do, you prepare now
for the next world, who is going to benefit from that, ultimately,
is that those who that do what it is they're supposed to do, they're
the ones who are going to benefit. And this local
transit here is that so that you may be given mercy could also be
translated as perhaps you may be given mercy, or perhaps you might
receive mercy.
And so is that in this context, it could have the mean of tat allele,
which is that so that you may be given mercy, that's how that's
translated there. Or could have the meaning of Tala G, which is
that this hope, that someone will receive mercy and bla bla comes in
the Quran in different places, and that has different meanings when
it appears in different places. But here, it could mean one of
those two meanings, either it's a cause for them to receive mercy by
having that, that Dukkha of what is being aware of what is before
us and what is behind us. Or that it's out of hope that we will
receive that mercy.
And what we understand from this verse is, is that when this is
said to them, is that
is that they turn away, and the job their response to that what
has been said to them is omitted. But we understand this to be the
case, because of the next verse that comes and verse 46, while not
to human, I tend to look no more at 18, they ignore every single
sign that comes to them from their Lord. So we know that this was
there, when this was said to them, that they turned away. And that
one of the scholars brings out an important point, which I believe
that we spoke of, but it's important to reiterate, is that
everything that is mentioned from various punishments happening to
previous peoples, as a result of the what they believed or the
decisions that we made, it's important that we see these as
archetypes. And we learn the lessons from the stories and bring
it into our own life. The purpose is not to just lambaste a people
of the past, all of the different archetypes that we have, and those
that that were from the Musa zine, and that ridicule people of
religion, those people that went astray, that without having
knowledge, those people whose that passions got the best of them
after knowing what it is that they should do. All of the different
archetypes that we find throughout the Quran, all the different
stories that are associated with certain things happening to
certain people, it's for you and I, to look very carefully about
our own selves, and to see if there's any resemblance of that,
that in that our hearts are in the things that is that we do. So this
is very important. Because some people might wonder this, why are
all these stories there about all these people of the past? Well,
that when you do something time and time again, it's a way of
emphasizing one. But also, there's different lessons that we learned
in the different stories. And that this is the amazing thing about
the Quran is that it gives us that the most important stories from
human history that we need, so that we can bring those into our
lives. And our job is to learn what it is that we need to learn,
reflect deeply upon them, and apply them to our own selves. And
so that when we do this is that we will get the blessing of that the
very mentioning of the story itself, which is the whole purpose
that you and I bring this into our life so that these are cool that
if you will, or these various ways that the previous peoples were
that punished is that the greatest way for us to be aware of them, to
ward them off from ourselves to protect ourselves from them is
through that Eman one little site, having faith and doing righteous
deeds and that making Toba and is still far, repentance in seeking
forgiveness. This is the greatest way of all that we can ward off
from ourselves, any type of tribulation, major, major
tribulations and even minor tribulations. And from this
perspective, is it done
is actually very easy. It's very easy. Yes, that increasing in the
age of information, there's more that we have to know. And there's
obfuscations that in order to truly have clarity regarding them
that you have to spend a bit of time reading and discussing and
thinking about that certain things, but in general, that the
path of righteousness is easy. It's a matter of having faith and
doing righteous deeds, and repenting every time you fall
short, that's really a summation of it. And as long as we are doing
that, is that it's likely that anything that happens to us won't
be too severe, and then it will be in our own benefit. And so that
there was one of the righteous and this is really beautiful story,
that he became one of the righteous, and there was a time in
his life where that he was falling short. But every time he fell
short, it made a mistake and even send, as Allah would send them a
tribulation.
And then, in a sense, it comforted him, because he'd felt like Allah
was looking after him. And then he would repent, and he would fall
short again, something else would happen. And this went on for a
long period of time. And then one time he made a mistake, though
tribution came.
And he panicked.
Because he was used to something going wrong, there wasn't a sense
of type of atonement, in that comfort to him that Allah was in
it at this point, he felt that he had been abandoned. And it was a
cause for him to make that a sincere repentance and to never
return to whatever it is that he was doing again. And so is that
when we have certain things that happen to us,
in a minor sense that they are the means of atonement. And they're
really to wake us up lazy, called bounded in the middle, so that he
may cause them to take some of what they've done the whole year,
in hopes that they return. And this comes after a lot of fuss out
of it. But it would be my guess, at any nurse corruptions appeared
on land and in the sea, from what hands have wrought Lea the
Oklahoman or that he may cause them to taste some of what they've
done in hopes that they return. So we should pay very close attention
to what is happening around us. And if things are working out, or
things are that somewhat difficult, or something just kind
of all of a sudden goes wrong, that the very first thing that we
should do is take stock and look internally and think about Did I
do something? Is there anything that I need to work out. And if
you can't figure out what it is, the best way to go about is to
make a general Towba is make a general sentence for
excuse me,
that's anything that you might not be aware of that you did. And so
this is important is that this is one, this is the way that we
protect ourselves. And so what is understood
is that when this was said to them, or do they turned away, and
that you have what is called a cabal and involved, and those are
opposites. In the Arabic language, a cabal is to go towards something
udvar is to turn away. And to go the other direction, you could
also transit as turned away. But the the scholars mentioned it's to
really to kind of turn to the side. So it's kind of in between
these two, but here it means is that that you're not really giving
something intention. So like, if I'm looking at Hamad an AKA belt,
ILA is that I'm focusing on him and giving him attention for
about, I would literally turn around and be the other direction.
If I thought I would just kind of, he's sitting there. And I'm just
kind of like turning like this towards him, not really paying
much attention. So that what is understood here, then, as it in
relation to these questions of ultimate concern, as this is the
archetype of the disbeliever is that they don't pay them much
attention is that they just don't give them the due consideration
that we should we should be given them.
No, and then that there's a nice statement of a big Batman has a
shot. In his subtle indication in relation to this verse. He says,
we either feel it tecoma been a de commissioner in the dunya or
mahatva caminhada.
He says that if it's said to the general people, is that beware of
what lies before you from the Shaddai the difficulties of this
dunya and what is behind you from that the terrors of the hereafter.
Lala come to the honeymoon is that then so that you may be given
mercy in both worlds? And so the idea here is is that so that you
received
Have mercy, not just in the next world, in this world, and in the
next world. And so what he says is a tuck while Camila is that having
taqwa and moving up to the higher degrees of that Taqwa so that it
becomes complete, is that it prevent it protects a man and a
woman in this life before they even pass. So there's a
protection.
And he says is that what a lot yesterday had HIF Illa, aka is
that that protection might even be passed on to their children. Or
that people even beyond them, it just came out who shot we actually
only a law as it is seen. And the offspring of the pious of the only
of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And so this is further incentive, is that
it's not really even about you,
is that you being a certain way, is also a protection for people
around you, including, of course, your immediate family, your own
spouse, your own children, but even your children's children,
children, children, and even down. And that it's also a protection
for other people that are around you. And so that there's something
really beautiful about this idea of Taqwa in being in the process
of being aware, in between the idea of protection, and in
relation to it was mentioned as well. And then there's also the a
nother even more subtle meaning. And that relates to what is called
Ted.
And Ted beard, is where you plan your affairs.
And that the righteous when they speak about Ted Veer, and they
speak about planning, they usually speak about it in its negative
connotation. That causes a bit of misunderstanding and people think,
Wait a second, what do you mean, we're not supposed to plan. And
there's two types of planning,
or you could say is that there are two things that relate to
planning. There's the process whereby which is that you that you
have a business, you run a household, you have a job, you're
on a budget, is that you go about planning, that how it is that
you're going to live how it is you're going to carry out a
particular task, how it is you're going to run a business or
whatever it is, you develop a plan, you have a short, mid and
even long term plan, that if you're running a particular
program, you have a plan on how you're going to go about doing it,
that you have that a way that you kind of run and manage your house
at home, all of those things, or praiseworthy, as long as they
don't become excessive, that type of planning is praiseworthy.
The other thing that relates to planning, which this is what the
writers really mean, are all of the emotions that arise before,
during and after the plans
as you're carrying them out. And so the emotions of worry. Usually
we worry about things in the future. And we fear about things
of the past. You can also excuse me, usually we fear about things
in the future when you worry about things in the past. But you can
also have that both emotions for both the past and the future. But
the point here is is that is that that's really what they're trying
to treat is that we need to be aware of the whole opposite of
tibia is that what happens that when we excessively plan, and some
of the emotions that arise within ourselves, that where we start to
then rely upon our plan. And so that's where it gets very subtle.
You have to plan if anyone tells you not to plan, they're not
really understanding what this really means. You have to plan but
you don't rely upon your plan. And you protect yourself in the
process from the emotions that in a sense negate true faith that as
you plan and so that he takes a
shot from this verse. And He says it Takahata did tend to be a
female banner ad com. So be wary of the thoughts of planning for
that. What is happening right before you is Lisa, I'm going to
be ethical because the affair is not really in your that hands for
Jordan Debney him in a Tedman for June Lu, Matt Evany him and Ted
mirror demo who are referred to here, because the vast majority of
things that you plan is that the winds of the Divine decree that
dismantle them, or literally destroy them. FEMA surfer Kubla
Khan is the heater sail house. I will talk to you that what we'll
have either. In other words, he's just saying is that he's not
saying that we don't plan but he's teaching us not to rely upon our
plan.
Taking this as that a subtle indication of one of this versus
potential meanings. And that. So we find the balance in this
process. So then we have that verse 46, oh, sorry, then there's
the last part of that look into her moon.
And so that you may give him mercy here, that a higher degree of that
mercy, which is to attain the station of contentment, but we are
content with what Allah Tada has a portion for us. And we're content
with what happens that even when we plan, and that becomes hard,
because sometimes we start to plan. And we almost want things to
happen, we oftentimes do exactly how we plan them. And again,
that's kind of natural, because that's the whole reason you
planned it so that it goes a certain way. But that's really the
balance is learning to plan, but not rely upon your plan. And as
that plan is executed, when things happen, that other than the way it
was planned. How do you and I respond?
How do you and I respond?
And it doesn't mean that we don't go back to the board and we that
say, Okay, we need to develop a different plan, and we keep
trying. But in this whole process, you'll see what happens to people.
Sometimes when it's not just as they planned, all of a sudden, bad
character comes in, or that they take it out on someone or
something happens that they shouldn't be doing. Right? Or the
opposite is, oh, well, who cares? No, who cares type attitude
outwardly is unacceptable. If something went wrong, that with
the plan, you have to go back and figure out what actually went
wrong. So we put everything in its proper place, that is something
that is praiseworthy, but being internally content with what
happened is also key. And this is the that highest meaning of
receiving this mercy is attaining that station of what he thought
and having what's called sukoon called, in having a stillness of
the heart in relation to what happens from the Divine Decree.
No. And then he says the meaning here of Otto, even though it's not
explicitly mentioned in the verse, is that they they turned away from
this is is that one hammock or God it was often that he would have
otter is that they just got lost as they were immersed in the
valleys of heedlessness and thoughts, you know,
a good percentage of the population in this world is in
Himachal. They're just immersed in lost in the the valleys of
heedlessness and different types of thoughts in they can't sift
through them.
And then even worse, is that they have certainty is that this is
what is right in this particular situation. And then even worse is
that they oppose anyone else who doesn't see things exactly as they
see things. And that one of the scholars used to say
that the reason that the facade which is one of the names of the
heart is called the facade because it is El Fuad in the flag is El
Fuad, in southern linguistically related in the heart is 1000
valleys. He said in every valley of the valley of the heart of the
valleys of the heart is an additional 1000 valleys
And then we'll call know no matter what I do in quantum soldering.
And they say, When will this promise come to pass, be
fulfilled? If you are truthful with your coolant that had a lot
to do in quantum solder clean, and so that they will then say that
again, that out of ista has that poking fun and mocking Is it meant
to handle wild, right, this promise that there is that of
resurrection, this promise of piano is that? When is this if you
are really truthful, when is this going to happen? And this is
something that we see in the Quran, as at the disbelievers is
that they mock the prophesy centum for not being able to tell them
exactly when that the PSA and the Day of Resurrection would happen
after he that one knew about it. So the lives of your sudden so
we've seen sorted out off yesterday Monica Anissa a Jana
Marissa the question you about the hour, when will it happen? Call in
them anymore handle Robbie, say now is there of lies only with my
lord law usually hardly walk there Allah Who none save him shall
manifest it. And it's proper time. So, miter saw when the problem was
asked about that solid ice, and he said is that the one being
questioned does not know any better than the question certain
things that a lot data has reserved and his knowledge Subhan
went to Adam. But again, you start to see this is the type of things
that happen. Is it meant to handle what in quantum *? This is
not a real question, not really asking when is the hour? They're
just poking fun. And these are the tactics and the techniques and the
tendencies of that these type of people and this is obviously that
something is that is blameworthy Is that true people that know how
to deal with the means and how to understand the wisdom in things
and how to put things in their proper place. And that this trait
of poking fun and mockery is simply not a trait of the
righteous. It's just simply not a trait in the righteous. And we
have to be very careful that in that doing this too much, that
being light hearted is fine. That joking to a
certain degree within limit is acceptable. But you have to be
careful, because joking can get out of hand. And joking is one of
the main things that causes that rancor in the hearts of people
because that some people take jokes better than others. And that
some people it hurts them more than others. And you'd be
surprised how many people that keep things hidden within them for
long periods of time. And people that think that they're just
joking about that particular thing when in that other person's eyes
is actually really serious and actually hurts them. And so this
is something we have to be careful of in general, let alone in the
context of disbelief. This is where it reaches that it's this is
where it becomes his worst. So Charlotte Anna, we will stop there
may lead to other benefits to these these if we've got a cut. I
think it was opening the new Quran and cutting and bless us in these
last 10 days of Ramadan. Indigo was tough week in all of our
different affairs was a little hard to see didn't him or her
maiden, but early he was Savio Salem hamdulillahi rabbil alameen
