Salah to tomato Salim I see you then a Medina Muhammad and he will

Tana in the country animal Hakeem hola hola. COVID inlab Hola. Hola
Annie and Arlene.
We have reached verst number 63
which states had the heat Jahannam ality quantum to I don't this is
the fire that you were promised. This is the fire that you were
warned against. And yesterday we looked at
verses 59 to 60 to one tears and you'll you had moved to the moon
stand apart on this day. Oh guilty once
and then he did call me up and Adam alerta Buddha ship on and who
local everyone will be. Danna enjoined upon you, oh Children of
Adam, that you not worship shaytaan truly, he is a manifest
enemy to you.
And then verse 61
will never do any harder. So Dalton was talking but to serve me
this is the straight path Wanaka Don Lemon come jevelin Kaziranga
for them to go no talking long.
And for indeed he has led among many among astray. Did you not
understand or did you not use your reason?
Connection? I think this is where we left off, is on verse 62. We
did verse 61, and might have left off on verse 62.
And so Allah Allah says in verse 62, on abundant income jevelin
cathedra or indeed he has led many among you astray. ufological tacky
Lord, do you not understand Do you not use your aacog? Do you not use
your reason?
And this word Javelin
comes from a word, jab Allah, which is to that
a PLA is to create someone in a particular way is to imprint
something on their existence. And that Jubilee edge Budo Giblin is
the master or it's chebula hbu. Both are that acceptable ways of
the melodic and in general means a holla calm, you say Jebel Allah
Haluk. Allah to Allah created the creation, are you say Jabba the
Fulani and add a shape, they fought on top of it, he imprinted
a certain way of being in him or he created him in a certain way.
Some time he went to Allah. And Arab say is that Fulani is the
Jamila village Avila a little JSON, he has a big body.
And what is meant by that is that there is that a large is something
that is big there. And this is also the same word that we have.
We all know Java, which is a mountain that relates to this idea
of that greatness, size. And there are that six different ways of
pronouncing your buildin that are all valid pronunciations. And we
won't go into those details. But here when we say jobelan kathira
translates as that many among you, so that many people that are not
have adequate as creative or like an abundance of income to building
theater for live, he has led astray, that many among you
subhanho wa taala.
And then a mama Razi, he asked the question carefully, how is this
process of Allah Tada, leading them astray? He says no, quoter
Allah wa Chang is this is done in two ways. The first is, and that
that you told Leah tone, and Mark said, was Sudan Whoa.
It's where that you are having something come in the way of what
it is that you are seeking your aim.
And he says that shit on will that call people to an abandonment of
worship into worship that something else
and that he says that if that he's unable to command him to do
worship, is that that he will command you to do it for other
than the sake of Allah.
Okay. And so is that there are different ways chiffon tries to
come to you.
As it he either tries to come in the way he either tries to get you
to take another route, where you're going to go away from
The place it is that you are seeking, or what it is that you're
seeking, or he'll try to come in the way of what it is that you're
seeking.
And this is why it's either Tolia or solid in Arabic. Okay, so it's
either diversion, or it's a barrier between you and what it is
that you're seeking, you're either we'll try to get you to change
your goal. And so that's the example of that we're supposed to
be worshipping Allah, He wants you to worship that something else. Or
as he he'll try to put barriers between you in reaching your goal.
And these are things like that relate to the diseases of the
heart, seeking having ulterior motives in your worship seeking
other things from that, what is it you're doing religiously.
And in this regard, if we think about the ship on and his
different plots,
is that ultimately, yes, they are weak. And one helpful breakdown to
think about the general categories of how he comes to human being,
is that the first thing that he'll try to get all human beings to do
is to associate partners with Allah, gender, gelato.
And included in that category
is to get people to disbelieve in Allah altogether.
Or included in that category, as well as to get people to have that
false beliefs about Allah, they might not take someone outside the
fold of Islam. But nevertheless, there's still a veil on the heart
and very serious, because someone doesn't have a correct
understanding of creed. So this is this first, that plot, in his
first goal is to get you either to be outside the fold of the Dean of
correct belief, or to have belief that is marred.
And if he can't get you to do that, such that you have a sound
creed.
The next thing he's going to try to get you to do is to not
worship.
So he'll find all different types of ways to preoccupy you, to get
you to fall into haram.
And that if you are falling into one type of haram, he's going to
get you to try to fall into a greater type of haram.
And that,
as we've mentioned before, if he can't get you to that leave all
good. He'll try to get you to do the lesser of the two goods.
And so the next part of the shaytaan is to try to not to get
you to worship, to get you to pray up to preoccupy you with that
which is unlawful in all different sorts. And different people have
different strengths and weaknesses, some of the unlawful
that we incline more towards and other other types. But what we
want to do is to read this of our life,
and that any inclination towards anything is unlawful. And then if
he can't get you to disbelief, you're correct, create and you
can't get you to abandon worship.
By preoccupying you with the Haram, he'll try to get you to
postpone worship, to procrastinate,
okay, he can't get you to abandon it, but just do it later. Don't do
it this year, to next year, don't go to college this year, just go
to college next year. Don't sign up for that class. Now do this and
then do that later, that he'll try to get you to postpone it.
And that's one of the great plots of shutdown. But the difficulty
with what's known as test sweep and Arabic mean sofa fit the sofa
if I will do it, I'll do it. I'll do it is that procrastination?
Every time that you procrastinate, it becomes more difficult for you
to do that thing the next time.
So every time you procrastinate, it becomes more and more
difficult. And this is why is it one of the things that we're
supposed to do is to haste when you have a good thought come to
your mind eyston To do what comes to your mind.
And that this is why there's two types of haste. There is a
negative type of haste and there is a positive type of haste, one
is praiseworthy, there's blameworthy. That blameworthy
haste is where you do something outside of its time. The time is
not right. And you hasten to do it as blameworthy that the
praiseworthy haste is when it's time for something, you do it
sooner. obvious example of that is his prayer. It's good to hasten to
perform the prayer or in the month of fasting to break your fast once
you're certain that the prayer enters.
But it's a blameworthy type of haste to that. Do that before
actually you're sure that the prayer time interests.
And this happens a lot especially with our wealth. You want to give
to a cause and you make the intention to do so. And then a few
hours by
was a night passes, few days pass and then you start thinking about
have kids, my kids are in college, I don't know if I can give,
you know, I need to do some repairs on my house, I need to
renovate something or whatever is that we start thinking twice. And
that's why when a thought comes, we should act upon it. If it is a
thought of good, of course, after going through the process of
balance and making sure there's something we should do.
And so
that,
that should tighten, we'll come to the human being then after, it'll
try to get you to postpone worship, if he can't get you to
postpone worship.
What he'll try to do is to get you to Hastin in your worship, to be
hasty to pray too fast, to not concentrate to read Quran too
fast, or to do too much, either to be hasty in the act of self or to
do too much.
So once you start putting things in place, where you're learning,
you're worshiping around good people, he'll try to overload you.
So that you burn out.
But if you can withstand that, he'll come at you in a different
way. So you have correct creed, you have not been in worship,
you're worshiping, and not postponing. No, are you at
Hasting? No, are you hasty? No, are you taking on too much? The
next way he'll try to come to you, is what he'll try to get you to do
it for other people.
So now you're worshiping because you're a believer, and none of
those other plots worked. So now do it for the sake of other
people.
And
some of us
that find pleasure in knowing that people know about what it is that
we do.
And this is what is called react, when we have to sever that in our
heart.
If what we do is told to another person, and they we get excited
and happy to other people know, it's a sign that our worship is
not truly sincere. We have to keep working on ourselves. But then if
that plot doesn't work, he'll try yet another plot,
which is even more subtle than react, which is you're not doing
it for other people. And are you doing it solely for the sake of
Allah data. But now he wants you to be impressed with yourself.
Vanity, wow, look what I'm doing. Look how amazing I am. I'm a
sincere worshiper who gets you to focus on your own self and try to
that slight you in this way such that you focus on your own self as
the one who was worshipping and as opposed to that the Tofik of Allah
Tada The One Who allowed you to worship in the first place
Subhanallah Tada. So these are the a summary of the different plots
and then there's one more that's only for the righteous will come
at them potentially in certain ways to lead them astray in
relation to that legal responsibility.
And then Allah Tada says a for them Docomo tagalong
did you not understand Do you not use your reason?
Do you use your aka Have you not seeing the state of these people
who come before
and do not reflect upon life. The whole purpose of the intellect is
to think about the end result of something the consequences of
things of the decisions that you make this is all purpose of it.
And we've heard before is that the ocular base to the car it is that
camel hobble that you put on the two legs of the camel, because
Hamels like, like to roam in need to roam, so that they just don't
go too far. And you can track them when you need them. But this is
what the intellect is supposed to do is supposed to prevent us from
that which is going to harm us we're supposed to think things
through and to make good decisions, and to understand the
consequences of what it is that we do.
And this is the state of the human being
is that most of us let our desires and our anger which is a type of
desire, overcome intellect, which is the essence of what bad
characteristics is or whatever that happens. And it's the essence
of that how human beings go astray. You know what it is that
you need to do. Now some people have a weak intellect and they
don't know what they should do.
But then some people have a stronger intellect, they know what
they need to do, but they fall victim to their lower desires,
into the tendencies of within themselves to their anger to get
the best of them.
For them to call an attack, you know,
that should we not think about the end result of what is going to
happen. And then Allah Allah says, in Verse 63, had the heat Johanna
Mala
to quantum to agile, so ceramah laughing, this is the fire that
you were promised, or this is the fire that you are wanting against.
And that the husband of Jahannam that is the guardians of Jahannam
is that they will say this to the disbelievers is that this is
Jahannam that you were promised and that you denied existed.
And there's a narration that on the Day of Judgment,
that the messenger of allah sallallahu sallam said, on the Day
of Judgment, Allah to Allah will gather all humankind in GenCon,
the first and the last few side and wide on one plane.
And then is that they will be so close to the fire is that they
will feel that they are that surrounded by it.
And then in that moment, it will be said that had the Jahannam
ality quantum to
is that this is the fire that you were promised. It's a little
yellow, quantum tech photo and learn there in interest today for
having disbelieved.
And again, our response to the believer when we hear references
to the fire is that we show humility before nor we start to
think about what is that we've done, and we realize is that the
fire in paradise, Allah to degrade them, that has nothing to do with
what we want. This is what Allah to Allah wanted. And all we can do
is to
respond to that reflecting upon these realities in a way that is
pleasing to Allah data in to carry ourselves and to live a life where
by which is it we're actively trying to avoid that having be our
end?
And like to protect us, and we should be humbled before larger
legit. And these verses should remind us of His power. And He
does what He wills to Monica Wattana.
And so is it according to this narration verbal hoorah on the Day
of Judgment when everyone is gathered on that point of
judgment, and they're surrounded by the fire this is when that a
caller will call that and say
and the this word Jahannam is one of the words for the fire
and that it is in that moment that was previously described. And that
Allah Tada refers to and sort of Ted hydrojet you Anessa Tokota
will come in New Zealand it is shot Saturday shoot when all the
but oh people is it. Be mindful of your Lord for the earthquake of
the last hour will be a mighty thing. Yola, terone Hotel Heroku
merger, I think that will tell the Akula that you haven't Camela
water on NASA Socotra, Socotra, but I can adapt well, like she
did. On the day you see it, every nursing mother will think no more
of her baby, every pregnant female will miscarry. You will think
people are drunk when they are not so severe will be God's torment.
In other words, is that these are all things, the types of things
that happened on this day.
And normally is that every nursing mother who is shows more mercy to
another, that person then a mother shows mercy to her, that newborn
baby, she's nursing.
Those of us that have young children or have had young
children we know the love and the mercy and the care that a nursing
mother has that for her young child, but that she'll think no
more of her child because she'll be so preoccupied with herself on
this day. And they'll that a pregnant woman that will miscarry
as a result, the fear and terror of this day, you will think people
that are Socotra that they are drunk and intoxicated, but they're
really not. So that this is that a reality? Of these are realities
that will happen on your mochi, ama, and the word for help.
jahannam. The first time that it comes in the Quran is in sorts of
Bukhara where Allah Allah says We the kilo tequila when he is told
have Taqwa of Allah, aka the toilet is a tubal etha This is
very dangerous. His arrogance leads him to sin. Or you could
say, Vainglory seizes him. sinfully for hospital Jehanne
normal, that * is enough for him one of it suddenly had a
dreadful resting place. And so that when someone reminds you and
this is why this verse is important for us to reflect upon
because when people remind us of what is it we shouldn't be doing
is if that is
Our response we get bothered by their advice. And is sometimes you
tell people to do something and they especially do it as a result
of that. This is what a lot data says either to a tequila that said
them have Taqwa of Allah, be mindful of Allah. Arthur, that is
a tool is you could transmit here as arrogance or Vainglory. Aha,
that it is a tool but isn't.
And that his arrogance leads him to say, they just do it anyway.
I'm just going to do it. Right. I don't care what you say, or watch.
Right? Or that this Vengaboys seizes him simply, they just end
up doing what it was that they want to do, and completely
disregard that advice that is a very dangerous state. And there
are more minor forms of that, all of which we want to completely
avoid.
Anyone that tells us to do something to warn us about
something that we're doing that is wrong, or advises us or points
something out, we should welcome it. And that's on one side of the
spectrum. And the other side. You have the famous statement of St.
Omaha, Bob, when he said, may Allah have mercy upon the man who
gifts me my faults, I had a layup are you what a beautiful
consumption. Mini when he advises me on something is that I see this
as a gift. When someone tells me I'm one of my faults, this is a
gift because we all want to rid ourselves of our faults. And
knowing your faults is the first step to actually get rid of them.
And then in verse 64 is slow heavy Elma the Mac quantum tech for all
that enter it today for having disbelieved Salah yesterday solid
Indian, in the Arabic language means solid shape. And COVID-19 is
still tossed something into the fire.
And so it's slow, hmm, that has the meaning of entering into it.
And that burning there in y as a result of their cover. And they're
in court because of the disbelief and their rejection,
burn their inner internet today for having disbelieve in some of
us. And I'm with Afia again, that we read this to that realize that
this is a warning from a lot of other Cortana to certain people
that do certain things. And we want to protect ourselves from
that.
And remember, Razzie says is that there should did no damage to him.
There are intense regret that is expressed in this verse in three
ways. One is so that we'll have it No, I'm going to attend Keelin
ihana the way that this has been said in this command form
interrupt today is that this is a way of that humiliating the person
has a lot to assess. And so, the hot look in the candidate is the
use of quinine.
Then that look taste this. Indeed that you are the Aziz and the
Cooney.
You are the mighty and you are the honorable, in other words, is that
this is a way of that we literally interviewing that person, as if
you think you're the mighty and the honorable. Okay, tastes this.
And so from this perspective, and then that photo Lel millennial
adab holder, when the alotta is slowly, young, today, meaning is
that this is happening now it is present before us in that all of
the pleasures of the past that happened in the previous days,
they're gone.
It's all over.
And now is the moment that this is the consequence of this.
And then the third aspect of this is, is that the amount of quantum
took for all
that for having disbelieved and that when Allah Tada speaks of it,
as such would call from Noongar. And Yama, this indicates that
there was a blessing given.
And as a result of that blessing was not respected. And that this
indicates is that someone who was before is who has disbelieved is
an ungrateful for blessing
is that when they realize that someone who actually gave them
that blessing, is that they're just utterly embarrassed.
So just imagine if
I don't know a situation where there was a particular person you
got a hospital bill without you knowing paid off a large hospital
bill you owed, I don't know, just some random example.
And then there's just something you didn't really like about that
person.
And you said something that was rude to them. And you later find
out that that person did an act of generosity.
didn't like that for you
to then that approach that person, and that faced him or her, after
you acted like that when they did something as nice like as they
did, how embarrassed you going to be? Right? You're going to feel
terrible.
And that this is the state of the CAFA, when they realize as a
result of their disbelief, because Cofer in relation to disbelief
also relates to that, just as it relates to disbelief, it's also
related to the lack of gratitude and gratitude, when the kaffir
realizes
is that this was all a blessing from Allah, I should have believed
all of the lessons that I've received from Elijah, it's going
to be very painful.
And then ever 65 Anioma, nothing more for him. What you can
lemonade ad, what I showed you are judo in Canada, Mexico, on that
day, we shall seal their mouth, but their hands will speak to us
in their feet bear witness to everything they have done.
Meaning that on this day that a lot of other Katana is going to
seal the mouth of the disbelievers and hypocrites, such that they're
unable to speak, in what is going to speak on their behalf and
testify against them, or their own limbs, their limbs are going to
say what it is that they did. And so their hands in their feet, and
so forth and so on all of the different names will testify to
the various sins that they committed in the wrongs that they
that they made.
And this is something that will happen on Yom Okayama. And
remember raazi that he that mentions about this is that when
what is the tuck t when does this take place? He says that first we
could see this as is that when they hear that? These this said?
Like what was said in the previous verse is slowly only about quantum
tech photon
is that they want to deny the fact that they disbelieved
but
they're unable to do so. And it is then that Allah to outer will,
that seal their mounds and they're unable to that deny the fact that
they disbelieved.
And he said another way of understanding this verse is that
when Allah to Allah said in verse 60, that had EDICOM have enjoined
upon you to the end of the verse is that they had no way to respond
to what Allah Ana is presenting to them.
And so that they just were unable to provide an answer, as a result
of that
very serious state where they're in a state of tremendous all of a
lagenda Janatha.
And that, some of my say is that this happens on Yamaki ama when
the disbelievers see what Allah Jalla Ginetta was given the people
of Tawheed from all different types of virtues in good is that
they will say to one another, that let us just swear an oath by Allah
that we weren't mushy King,
that they want to swear it they want to deny the fact that they
disbelieved here in the dunya The tables have completely turned in,
in the dunya that anytime that you try to remind them is that they
just keep doing whatever it is that they're doing and believing
how they're believing. But now that the wish that they could
cover it up and actually deny how they really were.
And then that there is Ibn katheer narrates that that will Musa
lashari. He says that the believer will be called to the reckoning on
your MO piano
and that his Lord will show him his works.
And that he will realize what it is that he did between him and
Allah.
he'll admit the mistakes he made
a rugby I meant to admit to amend to Oh Lord, I did this. I did that
I did that he'll admit.
And just imagine you're on the plane of judgment in front of
everybody. And that we just we have to admit the believer will
admit I did this. I did that call for y'all if you don't know to
other than Uber who is still wrong
Allah will forgive his sins and Valium
call for my colleague, salam until Cazeneuve Shia and such that no
Allah, no one in creation, that is there at the point of judgment
will see his sins, then what to do has an atom in his good deeds will
appear for what an NS coulomb neurona.
And he will want that all the people that are present on the
judgment plane to see the good deeds he's done.
And so that's the state state of the believer as a result of the
belief is that there's forgiveness
and availing and then according to this nourish Shani, but the kaffir
will come and then when efac will be brought for he's up. And that
Allah to Allah will have shown to him what it is that he did his
AMA, forget that he'll deny it.
And he'll say, Lord, that by your mighty is that look, I'd cut the
idea that a medic Manam Atman. The angel has written that which I did
not do.
And then the angel that will say to him, I limped, Kedah, young
Qaddafi mecanica that did you not know that on such and such a day
in such in such a place? You did this? And then he'll say Lao Zi
Tikka momento, or maybe the Medicare maybe it's not medically
we spent the king illogical agenda.
Oh, maybe it is.
Anyhow.
Maybe it's the angel who did say that someone knows best anyhow,
that he'll deny it.
He'll deny it. And he'll try to swear an oath. Why Allah and when
he lies fallot for either further dedica when he does that, help
them Oh, no. Hanafi Lautaro will seal the mouth.
Because there's no way out.
There's no way out of that.
And
there's a hadith in Sahih Muslim where that a servant will send
Yamo piano in the Logies. Isley, Alicia, he don't mean f See, I
don't permit anyone to bear witness against me except my own
self, for your thermography. And so the mouth will be sealed. We'll
call only our Kenny. And then it will say to his limbs ultimately
speak
for tentacle Guatemala, your limbs will speak about what it is that
you did. Similar your Holly beno Emanuel Cayambe. And then that,
that they will let speak on his behalf for your code word and then
that the tongue will be given an ability to speak after that feel
called then lacuna was for uncon cuanto laden,
and someone will dress his limbs. And that work done was is just
basically a way of rejecting that someone usually but now it's your
own self and your own limbs, someone and speaking to his own
limbs basically, that get away from me. Is that that be far from
you know, what have you done is that I was trying to defend you
mean it was his tongue he was trying to defend what would happen
to his limbs. But when his mouth was sealed, and they spoke,
because that they had to tell the truth.
And he memorized He also points out here is that there's a
relationship between the atom, the seal on the mouth, and the chakra,
in the seal on the heart of the disbeliever here in the dunya.
As Allah subhanho wa Taala says, sorted Makara hartham Allahu
Allahu lubi. Allah has sealed their hearts, why there's so many
in their ears want to applaud him in their eyes, like Shabbat to an
unknown upon their eyes, there was a covering with them.
And they have a tremendous timidness a lot data, cinema.
And that all we really have
is a heart in a tongue. And ultimately, the tongue is the
touch German of the kind of the tongue was only saying what is in
the heart. And it is for this reason that you said it, that
it's for this reason, that St. He said when someone speaks, I can
figure them out immediately will come out, Claude, because the
nature of speech indicates what is in the heart. You can tell a lot
about someone about what it is that they speak about how they
speak. It indicates what is not always in every way, but in
general, that you could say this. And so is that, that if there's a
seal upon the heart upon the tongue, the only thing then to
clarify are the limbs, as I said,
and then in verse number 66,
Elijah legito says wilderness
Yo, yo Thomas Nana uni him, first of all set off a new car.
And had We willed, We could have taken away their site, they would
have struggled to find the way but how could they have seen it
that Thomas saw YouTube also to Musen
it means for the the effect of something to go the trace of
something to no longer be there.
So that you can imagine it the an ethyl amine, a trace, or even
could be a footstep footsteps that are in the desert, is that when
the wind blows is that they that go when they're no longer there,
to erased.
And so it's this idea of it, something vanishing.
And that this can happen at the level of the site. And so here,
not almost not only we could have taken away their sight.
And this incredible ability that we have to see, which is just
amazing if you think about it, how it is that we see and all of the
blessings in place for you and I to see, imagine being blind
Subhanallah Imagine having your site taken from you. Imagine
having your hearing taken from you.
That's why the site itself,
famous story of the worshiper from vinius, oil, 500 years of worship,
in one side of the scale, and just the blessing of site and the other
side of the scale tipped completely, just the blessing of
site. Think about the blessing of site, what it is, they were able
to see with our eyes, Allah. So blessing from Elijah legit.
And that, so it could refer to the physical sight, but it also could
refer to the heart is that you say that thumbless or CALB a facet,
Felicia, the heart, the light of the heart has been taken away, the
sight of the heart, the inner sight has been taken away. And as
a result, someone can't comprehend anything.
If someone's will see it all their inner sight is multiple sol, sol
Sol Ramana.
Is that if it's been taken away, that there is no way for them to
comprehend or to understand anything.
So Allah to Allah is saying here is that where we too have willed
is that we could have taken away their site.
And that they could have been such that they do not see the path of
guidance. And that even if they were to try to find the path of
guidance and struggle to find the way right, first of all, go sit
Alta to search for the way in struggle for the way is that they
wouldn't be able to
and that how would they be able to then that see this path when that
is when they don't have the sight to do so?
Yeah.
In the knowledge that says in verse 67, would only show in the
muscle canal Amanda mechanics infamous Totara Medina when I was
young, if it had been Our Will, We could have paralyzed them where
they stood, transform them in their places.
So that they could not move forward or backward. If it had
been our way we could have paralyzed them where they stood.
Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna Mackenzie or you could translate
that as if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them in
their places,
so that they could not move forward or backward.
And so this is reminding us of the blessings of Allah to Allah upon
us, he could have taken away our sight, he could have subhanaw
taala Masada transfigured us and transformed us into something
else. He could have changed our physical image on how it is that
we look, he could do whatever he wants to do. So when he went to
auto, that,
and this should remind us of the importance of remaining in state
obedience. So what honor is that we can't do anything? If he
doesn't allow us to do that thing. We think that we are the ones
moving our hand. We'll look at all the Allah Tada, if he did not want
us to move our hand, we would not move our hand at all.
It's only through the divine permission, that we're able to
move our hand, they were able to blink our eye, they're able to do
anything that is that we do, solely from the bounty of Allah
Jalla Daro, even a we think it's our will and we're doing and this
No, it's so different. Him subhanho wa taala. He's reminding
us of this. He could have transformed us into anything he
wanted to subhanaw taala he could have turned us into animals he
could change Subhana wa Tada that if you want us into inanimate
objects, he could do whatever he wants. He could just take us out
of existence.
And that he's made us human beings. Intellect who should that
learn it
should do what is right. But how many human beings go astray. And
they deny the great blessings of Elijah Elijah.
And then in verse 68 woman, I met him Nick Cousteau fell hulk of
Allah. Yeah, you know,
if we extend anyone's life, we reverse his development, do they
not use their reason?
Or you could say, is that and whomsoever we give long life, we
cause him to regress in creation? Do they not understand?
So well, then a miracle? Here, Mr. Is your lifespan.
And I'm Maria Amato's to give someone a lifespan that is
extending their life, giving someone a long life
is that, you know, do people not see this is taking place is that
we begin as a baby that is entirely dependent. And then we
grow. And we don't think about where it is, even we started
before the fact that we were a baby. That would lead to us being
in the womb of our mother. And what was our that existence, then?
What did we start as a fluid, and then we were born, and then we get
a little bit older. And then we become of age. And it's as if
we've completely forgotten how it is that we got where we are. And
we have this illusion that we're going to live forever. I'm young,
I'm gonna live 100 years even if he lived on even if he lived
100,000 years. How much is that really? Is that woman Miriam
disulphide Huck, is that
in whomsoever we give long life, we cause him to regress in
creation, you'll reach your prime, but once you reach your prime
use start going downhill
is that different people reach their prime at different ages. But
we know is that eventually is that people become weak as a lot data
says and so it's a Rome. Hola, hola. Hola Ko, calm and up, he
created you. That was weakness when you were weak, similar John
and about the left Kuba. And then he gave you after weakness,
strength, so much about new codes and lava. And then he made you
weak after having given you that strength will Shaybah and old age,
Yahoo Local law, Yahoo nya SHA, Allah creates what He wills, wood.
And he is the All Knowing and the all powerful if Allah wanted to,
we could have gotten stronger and stronger and stronger and
stronger. And he writes death where we become the strongest. And
some people die when they're when they're in that stage of being the
strongest that they've ever been. But he could have made that the
norm for everybody. It's just all upward progression. But he willed
is that we come back to a way that we were in the beginning, as that
we regress in creation, just as we began in need is that we will end
up in it. And the whole point of this is, if Allah yah kilo, do
they not understand? Do they not use their intellect?
It's efficient for us to know all these things. People are chasing
the sacking. Do you know how many people are concerned with the way
that they look?
And how many people do you see if you travel a lot on planes. And
next you when you're sitting waiting to get on the plane and
you're mixing with people, they're reading different magazines,
People Magazine, all these other types of magazines, they're
looking at movie stars and looking at the clothes that they wear.
They're looking at their figures, and they're looking at how they
dress and that little small little things is that they wish they had
a nose like so and so and lips like someone else, and eyes like
someone else, and all these types of things. And what people don't
realize is that all of these people are going to wilt away
eventually.
And there was something that someone sent out a while back,
where it showed pictures of all of these movie stars later on in
their lives.
And they were so hideous looking at your left, they just would have
avoided plastic surgery, and all these other things that they do to
create this false. That image is that it would have been, it
wouldn't have been as bad. But it's almost as if like because
that you're doing all these things. They actually age worse
than other people.
And it's just a sign. This is what you're chasing. This is the end
result. And where people see what happens in the grave. When they're
rotting away. Eventually the flesh goes and bones remain. So what are
we chasing? We're chasing an image. We're chasing a particular
type of figure that what are we chasing?
Something that is ultimately meaningless. In our is a fit
it wealth is a fitna to have beauty is a fitrah
To any blessings like this, their blessings from one perspective,
but they're fit. They're trial and tribulation from another, to be
very strong is a fitna. All of these things that are fitness and
less that we deal with them to be very intelligent is a fitter
and less that we use it for a good purpose. These are all reflections
that we should really think about. Well, then I'm going to kiss with
the Hulk.
And whomsoever we give long life, we cause him to regress in
creation or profit. So I said honey single Hardy, he sought
refuge. In a law firm a number of things I would recommend and
Bulkeley will castle. I seek refuge in You from miserliness and
laziness, will Harami and is that refuge from that old age, one or
the other, in being in that the state of decrepitude. This last
part of your life, where your intellect starts to go, is that
maybe an example of that would be someone that has dementia in our
context, or all these other types of things that happen when people
get really old.
And then our prophets Allah sent him sought refuge in the DAB and
cover punishment of the great will fit into the job, the fitna the
tribulation, or the trial of the digital will fitting into imagine
all of the trials of life and death. And what one of the
commentators said as a result of this, and the fact that a prophet
sought refuge in Allah from the stage of decrepitude. The vast
majority of people want to live as long as they can, even if they
have to take 100 pills, just to stay alive. Just keep me alive.
And what this modern commentators said is that
if you don't have quality of life, why would you want to remain
alive?
Why would you want to stay alive with the machine? If you know
there's not quality of life? I'm not saying that there's not a
chance to bring you back, where you can have quality life. But if
you don't have quality of life, why on earth would you want to
remain?
Why on earth would you want to remain? I ask Allah to give us all
strings, that were in that moment, this is something we should tell
our children and family members. Now. Look, if I reached that point
where the doctors are saying is no more quality of life, let me go.
Don't put me on the machine in the first place. If you don't think
it's going to help, unless that there's a good chance that you
could have quality of life restored. We should all have the
courage to just want to go and meet a logic the shadow, is it we
don't obviously tried to hasten our death. But why stay alive
without quality of life? This is teaching us that Subhanallah that,
yes, it's a sign. But from another perspective, it said, we need to
prepare to meet our Lord.
And that this is a sign for us to know is that people reaching the
state of decrepitude and they've deteriorated in this way, is
indicative of everything that was created. The dunya is like that.
How many very nice homes 50 years later, they're not so nice, you
gotta get something new. How many beautiful garments, not so much
later, those garments are that shabby. This is the nature of the
dunya is that everything is perishing? Everything is going to
go.
And that
enclosing, closing
that this chapter of your scene has that presented to us all these
different possibilities
is that we see those like the US habit, Korea, the people of the
town, it was what they say a lot and it took their lives a cry
is that we see is there are other things that loss opponents could
do to other people as well, as was mentioned here that Thompson is
taking on eyesight away or transfiguration. Or is that if one
of those two things don't happen, and if Allah data lets us live,
that to the end of our lives, we're still going to go one way or
the other. In other words, there's no way around no matter what
happens to us in the dunya whether it comes quickly or whether it's
postponed is that we will all stand before Allah for a reckoning
on Yom Okayama. And we ask Allah to Baraka data from the blessing
of this month of Ramadan, to forgive us of all of our sins,
yada, yada, yada God would have come versus the people who return
unto you, and who are penitent in who are devout and who love you
love your messenger, yada monogamy and lots of other Madonna that
direct our hearts towards him. And May the doors of his mercy always
be open to us. You know what I mean? And then we not close
them on our own selves you may forgive us and have mercy upon us
