			You're on a ship and it's drowning. Mhmm.
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			There's a child dying. Mhmm. How can you
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			possibly, like, even begin
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			to to read into the estimation of all
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			this and and the qadr of this. Right?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			So you can't come to terms with qaba
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			if you don't trust the qadr.
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			Always know that it is possible for Allah
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to change you or to
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			change a situation.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22
			Our responsibility
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			our responsibility is is to know Him and
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			to trust Him and to love Him. Sometimes
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			you'll find people have Masha'Allah,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33
			great degrees in Islamic studies, but in a
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			moment of calamity,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			when their iman of al Qadr is very
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			weak,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			that knowledge becomes nothing. Mashallah. But you have
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:41
			an average person
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			who has no educate, no Islamic education whatsoever,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			but their iman in Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			gives them that meaning to everything they see,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			and and and I I love to use
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			the expression, subhanahu, they see beauty in the
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			middle of chaos.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			They see that beauty that beauty in the
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			middle of that that chaos.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			Everyone. Welcome back to Quran 30 for 30.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06
			The question from yesterday's Jews, what are two
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			other names of Surah Al Isra? So please
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			do answer below.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			A reminder, of course, to donate to yaqeen,
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			inshallah, if you haven't already. We're mid month
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			now, so you should have by now, but
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:15
			inshallah,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			hopefully, you still will. And of course to
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			download the ebook and follow along,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			we're joined of course by Sheikh Abdul Adoorva
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			and Sheikh Yasser
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			Welcome to Daul, Sheikh.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			Feels like home. Feels like home. Don't don't
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			get too comfortable. Sheikh,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			I'm sorry. You kicked me. You locked me
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			out of the other space.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			I hope you know that all 10 parking
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			spots in front of Yakin belong to me.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			No wonder I was no wonder I was
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			looking for an empty spot, typically.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			I parked my truck across all towns. You
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			know? So As a matter of fact, I
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			saw your truck. I saw your truck even
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			parked all the way. It's been taking the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			driveway even. That's the sidewalk
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			even. We're in Texas. We got these pickup
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:58
			trucks, man.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			You're welcome to, you're welcome to park at
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			the McDonald's next door. Make sure that you,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			you know, boycott them on the way.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			To to use their parking spot, we'll have
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			to ask the official, BDS Fatwa Committee. No.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:11
			But
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Shirki Assar is different, man. It's different.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			Y'all heard this special salaam, which we have
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:21
			Sheikh Abdullah,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			or Sheikh Asir.
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			No, no, Sheikh. It's all good, Rasa. Sorry.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			I'm going to show you some love. We
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			all love because As always.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			You're just being jealous, bro. Yeah, I have,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			I have.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			He lives in Capel.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			You
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			know? Actually, you live in Valley Ranch. You
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			just I do. Just pretend to live in
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			Capel. Pretend to live in Capel.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			Yeah. You're a foreign imam to that masjid.
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			Right? I'll let the community know that inshallah.
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Capel community. Come over come over to Valley
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			Ranch more often. So
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			inshallah. It's good to have you. Lovely. Always
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			good to have you, Shaykh Abdullah. Always always
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			good to have you. InshaAllah with that, we
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			will go ahead and get started
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			with.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			So today's juz actually
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			is one of the greatest lessons in Qadr.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			So I was looking forward to this actually,
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			you know, when I initially started mapping out
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			my notes for Quran 30 for 30 this
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			year because it matches perfectly with the series,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			and I think all of us will be
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			talking about Qadr, Inshallah, some manifestation, as we
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			did with the last Jews as well.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			If you go to
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			verse 21 of Surah Mariam, Allah
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in reply to
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			Mariam alayhi salam that it was said to
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			her, so it will be. When Mariam asks,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			how can I have a son
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			and I have not been touched? How is
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			it possible that I will be giving birth
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			to this boy? Allah
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			says that it is easy for me.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			And there is no easier easier with Allah
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			It's all the same to Allah.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			Allah says be and it is. And Allah
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			subhanahu wa ta'ala says and we will make
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			him a sign for humanity and a mercy
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			from us, lahmatanminna,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			so a special mercy from us. But then
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			Allah
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			says
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			it is a matter already decreed.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			Now there's a difference here between qadr and
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			kaba. Many of the ilama mentioned that the
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			difference between al qadr wal kaba.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			Qadr is the estimation of all things. It
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			is the calculation of all things.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			Kaaba is when it comes into
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			its existence on this earth, when it actually
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			manifests itself. So Kaaba is the judgment, the
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			execution of the planning of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			ta'ala,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			the calculation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			which is held from our understanding, held from
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			our vision, and Kaaba is when it actually
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			comes to form in this world. So the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			interesting thing here is that when Jabir, alayhi
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			salam, says to Mariam, alayhi salam,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			it's almost as if he's saying, as many
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			of the did not mention, you're already pregnant.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			Like, you're you're arguing here and saying, how
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			can I have a son when I've never
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			been touched, and how can I how can
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			this be as if she's protesting, like, what's
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			what's gonna happen here? This has come into
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			existence. The baby is already meant to be
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08
			born, SubhanAllah, so it is already decreed for
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			you. So qadah is a step further than
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			qadr as many of the scholars mentioned. But
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			I want to also point out something else.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			When you go before Maryam, as Allah Subhanahu
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			Wa Ta'ala mentions to us Zakaria,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			calling upon Allah
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			asking Allah for a son.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:24
			Allah
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			of course responds to Zakariyah
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			and says,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			we've already named him for you. By the
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			way, you're asking for a son, he's already
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			been named. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			the way that he is going to be.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41
			Lamnaja Allahu minqablusamiyah
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			that he's the first one to be named
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			this way and Allah mentions of his qualities
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			in verse 13.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			Wahanana minladunna
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			wazakatan
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			wakana taqiyyah
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			that he's going to have a special type
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			of hanan from us, a special type of
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			compassion from us, and a special type of
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			purity from us. And he's going to be
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			from the god fearing,
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08
			And he is kind to his parents, he
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			will be obedient to his parents, and he
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			will neither be arrogant nor disobedient.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			Now, subhanallah, it's really beautiful here because you
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			see the beautiful qadr of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			ta'ala that Allah says he's already named. And
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			look how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			as the 'ilama mentioned. Allah
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			has proportioned him and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			has decreed for him that he's going to
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			have these special qualities
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			already embedded in him. And if you remember
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			in the Ramadan series, we talk about the
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			hadith of al Ashaaj who comes to the
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam and he asks
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			the prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			these two qualities that Allah loves. Was I
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			born with them or did Allah put them
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			inside of me? And we said that Allah
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			puts these things inside of you, but then
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			you have to nurture them. You have to
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			nurture them, right, and bring them to the
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			next level. So imagine,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			yahia comes out with a name
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			and he comes out with these qualities that
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			are meant to give fruits,
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			first to his parents and, of course, to
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			the world as well. And you have to
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			also see the correlation,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			a lack of having hanan and zakah, a
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			lack of having that compassion and that purity
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:15
			would have led to him being Jabbar and
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			Shakir. Right? Would have led to the opposite
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:17
			qualities
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			of being arrogant and disobedient.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him a
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			special type of purity, a special type of
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26
			cult of compassion,
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			and then Yahya alaihi salam cultivated those traits
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			in the most beautiful of ways to their
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			blessed ends. And so the qadr of Allah
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			brought Ayesha and Yahya to this world miraculously,
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			but it also shaped them miraculously.
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			And we continue to benefit from the efforts
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			and from the impact of that until today.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			And, of course, that is also a sign
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			of the answer of the du'a of Zakaria,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			that Allah
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			is
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			not incapable and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			not stingy with his sincere servant, that when
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			you ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, ask Allah
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with hussnadlan, with a good
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			expectation of him, and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:07
			far outdid anything that Zakaria expected of him
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			when Zakaria, alaihis salam, called upon him. He
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			gave him a son and gave him the
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			most beautiful qualities. May Allah allow us to
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			also make beautiful dua and to have beautiful
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			qadr come as a result of that, which
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			only comes as a result of beautiful tawakkul
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21
			Allahumma Ameen.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			When speaking about the
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:34
			position of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in our
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:34
			lives,
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			his ability, his qudra as well. That Allah
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, alaikulishayinqadir.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			He's able to do all things. And he
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			literally proves that in every life and in
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			all the Prophet's lives, alayhi wasalam. May Allah
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			have His peace and blessings upon them. It's
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			important for us to remember that Allahu 'alaqulishayinqadir,
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			that He is able to do all things.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			I I want to share with you one
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			example of that in the chapter of Taha,
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			chapter number 20, verse 14 to roughly 18,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala talks about him
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			choosing Musa alayhis salaam. Musa alayhis salaam receiving
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			the revelation from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			he chose him to be a prophet. Allah
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			I, myself, self chosen you therefore give give
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			ear to what is revealed.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			Verily I am Allah. There is no God
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			besides me, so serve me and establish the
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			prayers to remember me. A small point here
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33
			is very, very important.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala chose him. The first
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			thing that he told him to do is
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			to remember him and to establish the prayer.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			We see the second pillar of Islam is
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			the prayer. After knowing Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			Allah acknowledged who he was, told him who
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			he was. Musa understood that, then Allah Subhanahu
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			Wa Ta'ala told him the first thing to
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			do is to establish the prayer. And this
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			is important for us as Muslims when we
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			try our best to come back to Allah,
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			know that part of that equation
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			is to continue or start with praying to
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:04
			Allah
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			to the best of your ability. Then Allah
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:08
			says
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			the hour of resurrection is coming. I have
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			willed to keep the time of its coming
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			hidden so that everyone may be recompensed
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			in accordance to this effort. Allah is telling
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			them something about the future, that the the
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			is close to show the importance of the
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			matter. I chose you for something. Start to
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			pray because you don't know when the time
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			on this earth will end. There is a
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			Sa'a
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			that it is coming. And this is important
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			for us to know that we don't know
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			when we will leave this earth individually or
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			collectively.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			We do not know what are we doing
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			in this life. Looking at the ayats and
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			the signs of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			then asking ourselves,
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			how am I using the ayats
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			which is in front of me in a
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			way that pleases the creator of the ayah
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			of the ayat, the signs, and I myself
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			am one of those signs? How am I
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			using it in a way that pleases my
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			lord? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala continues
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			and then he says,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			Let him who does not believe in it
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			in the saa, in the hour, and follows
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			his lust not turn you thought away from
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			it lest you are
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:22
			ruined. Do not let those that don't believe
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			in what you hold dearly in regards to
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			your connection with the creator of the heavens
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			and earth, Don't let them turn you away
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			from
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:32
			that. Don't let them. Family, friends, whoever it
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			may be, it's important to know that Allah
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			is the utmost important element in our lives
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			and He is someone that we should always
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			turn to and try our best to live
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			up to the Sharia, the system that He
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			has created for us. But then Allah Subhanahu
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Wa Ta'ala asked a question, what madayukabe imini
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48
			kaya Musa?
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			Musa had a staff with them. Allah Subhanahu
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			Wa Ta'ala asked him not out of ignorance
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			but to prepare all of us for a
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			lesson.
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			What is in your right hand?
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:06
			Moses explains, he says, this is my staff.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			I lean on it when I walk and
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			with it, I beat down leaves for my
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			flock to hit the trees down leaves down
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			from the trees, and I use it to
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			to direct them a certain direction.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			And I have many other uses for it.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, told him,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			throw the throw the staff.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			So he threw it down and it turned
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			into a rapid moving
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			snake. Something that we would never expect.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			Musa didn't expect it. Allah
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			Allah is able to do all things.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			Never give up on the ability of Allah
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			in our lives for things that happen externally
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			and also it happens internally.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			This is why we say things such as
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55
			Oh, the one that makes the hearts firm,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			make my heart firm on your religion. Always
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01
			know that it is possible for Allah
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			to change you or to change a situation.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			Our responsibility
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			our responsibility is is to know him and
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			to trust him and to love him. Then
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala continues on to say,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:18
			Then he said, seize it and have no
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:19
			fear, we shall restore it to its former
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			state.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells him and placing
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			your hand in your armpits,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			it will come forth as a shining white
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			without any blemish. This is another sign of
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Then Allah shows him
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38
			2 signs here, The staff that turns into
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:40
			a snake and then his arms that is
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:42
			illuminating, and then Allah concludes here,
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:46
			to where we will show you some of
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			our greatest signs. Brothers and sisters,
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			remember this month of Ramadan is a time
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			for you to be better,
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			And it's a time for you to reminisce
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			over those signs from Allah, Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			The community member you haven't seen for a
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			long time and you've apologized, they've apologized to
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			you. Those intimate nights that you've had with
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:06
			Allah
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			signs that it is possible for you to
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			be better and know that Ramadan is a
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			catalyst for that. With this, Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			Ta'ala prepared him by showing him his signs,
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			proving himself to him, and He tells him,
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:20
			idhaba ilaha firaoun inuhu ta'ala. Go and face
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			the world. Go and face
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:24
			Firaun, the one that has transgressed the bounds.
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			In our lives, when we see these signs
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			of Allah, use these signs to be obedient
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			to him, and know that it's always possible
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32
			so you can face this world in a
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			way that is pleasing to Allah
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			It can change your heart and change the
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			hearts of others.
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			This beautiful introduction to the, jizzit number 16
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53
			of the Quran.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			What I wanna share is really the the,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			it starts from the end of Jezet 15
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			and the beginning of Jezet 16 which is,
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			the story of Musa Alaihi Salam and Al
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:04
			Khadr. In terms of Al Qadr, in terms
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			of how Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala prepared Musa
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			Alaihi Salam to meet and face the world
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			in frown,
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			Allah Azza wa Jal is bringing to us
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			really the the
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			the concept of knowledge and the concept of
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			Qadr of Allah Azza wa Jal. Here is
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			Musa Alaihi Salam standing before Bani Israel and
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			he is there
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:23
			of course speaking to to the people with
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			a with a divine connection to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			Wa Ta'ala's ultimate knowledge because Allah speaks to
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			them directly.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			And one of Bani Israel asked him is
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			there anyone who knows more than you You
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:32
			Musa?
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			To which Musa immediately he said I don't
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			think so because he had a divine connection
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:38
			to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he didn't think
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:38
			that anyone
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39
			would
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			have a better maybe access to that knowledge,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			to which he confidently he says, he says
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			I don't think so.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47
			And Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala immediately gave the
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			news to Musa alaihis salam who told you
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			so? Go such and such place, you will
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			meet a man, go and learn from him.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			Musa humble himself and goes to this to
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			this man and he meets with him.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			There he asked Musa Musa Alaihi Salam ask
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			him a simple
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			Can I follow you and teach me something
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			that I would like to have guidance from
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:07
			you?
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			Al Khudr immediately answered Musa Alaihi Salam,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:13
			you can't handle this knowledge.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			Don't worry I'll be patient with you, I
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			just wanna follow you. So he told him,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			he says, if you're gonna do so,
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			don't ask me a question until, I'll give
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			you the news and I'll tell you exactly
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			why this happened for. Now the concept of
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			all this now part of the story is
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			all of us as human beings we love
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			to know so we always feel safe and
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46
			secure.
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:49
			If I know what's happening tomorrow it makes
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:50
			me feel safe and secure.
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:52
			If I know that I'm gonna have food
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			tomorrow, if I know that I'm gonna inshallah
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			that'll be safe, if I know that my
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:57
			house is gonna be okay, my job is
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			gonna be secure,
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			if I don't have that knowledge it will
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			always keep me safe and keep me secure.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			But Qadr Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			secret, is the sir.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			If you know everything,
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			you will never need God Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			anymore because you're already safe and secure.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala kept that element
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			of the future, understand the Qadr secret and
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			hidden, so that you always need Him, and
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			you always need for need Him for guidance
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Mhmm. Just like Ashaq Abdullah
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			mentioned about the story of Musa 'alayhi salaam,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala equipped Musa with ultimate
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			knowledge,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:32
			changing the laws of what he knew to
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			be different. Musa alaihis salam he had the
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:36
			staff at his hand for ages, and he
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			never thought it was gonna change to something
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			such as being a big snake, his arm
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			is always the same thing, the same color,
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			then Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala is now changing
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			the rule of nature for him. So Musa
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			'alayhi wa sallam now he has an ultimate
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:49
			level of knowledge,
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			Now that is power that will keep him
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			strong to stand before someone such as Firaoun.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			Imagine if you have the knowledge
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			that that would connect you straight to the
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			divine Subhanahu wa ta'ala, nothing will shake you.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			This is exactly the same concept that we
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:05
			need to have as we go through our
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:07
			difficulties and hardships in our life, such as
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			what's happening in the world today, what happens
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			also in the situation first in Gaza as
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			well. People wondering about this issue. But if
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:16
			you have the knowledge that Allah Subhanahu wa
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			ta'alaalim
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:18
			Al Hakim
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			If He says something to be there will
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:23
			be, We know that everything happens and there
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			is wisdom behind it, we might know it,
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			we might not know what it is, or
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			might not know it. But with our belief
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			in Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala that kind of
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			Qadr and Yateen uncertainty
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			put us at ease. The story of Musa
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			'alaihi wa sallam continues right now in digit
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			16 obvious as well too. So Musa 'alayhi
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:41
			wa sallam goes with Khudr on 3 incidents.
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			The incidents of the boat, and then the
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			boy, and then of course the village that
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:45
			they
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:46
			went to.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			As for the example of
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			the boat,
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			they went for a free ride and halfway
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			through that journey Al Khudr he takes advantage
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			of the absence of the owners and he
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			makes a hole in that boat, to which
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			Musa 'alaihi wa sallam was surprised and shocked,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			why would you do this for? But Al
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			Khudr had knowledge of the future
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:07
			that Musa did not know about.
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			Then comes the story of the boy, in
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			which the end of life, the life of
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			this boy was on the hand of Al
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			Khadr.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			Obviously the parents
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			don't know what exactly happened there, but Allah
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			has his own Taqdir, as well to Al
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			Musa he saw a crime, but he didn't
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			know the context of it. And then came
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			the story also of the village when they
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:27
			now give them hospitality,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			Al Khidr still insisted on fixing that wall
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			for them to which Musa was very upset.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			So when he complained,
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			Al Khidr told him the story, he said
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			look now I can tell you what exactly
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			these things are all for. The three examples
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			tie into the Qadr of Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			Ta'ala and everything in our life ties into
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			one of these examples.
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			Number 1, the example of the boat, they
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			didn't know there was a tyrant taking all
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			these boats and usurping them and stealing them
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			from them. That hole
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:57
			saved that boat for them. So basically what
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			happens sometimes we focus
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			on the hole in the boat, we don't
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			know that the Khayla is gonna come beyond
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			that because that same hole was the reason
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			why
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			their boat was saved.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			The child as well too, Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			Ta'ala may give it that the parents they
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			remain patient simply because they have iman and
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			faith. They might not even know
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19
			why this child was taken away from them
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			but they know for sure that Allah subhanahu
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			has wisdom behind it and they remain patient
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			and they moved on with their life. As
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			for the example of that wall,
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			they,
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			most of them know that behind this wall,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			underneath the wall there was actually treasure for
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:33
			2 orphan kids and boys.
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			And Al Khadar, he had the responsibility
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:38
			to save that wall
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			without even taking credit for it. So our
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			job in our life is not always to
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			question the why,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			as long as you trust Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:47
			Ta'ala
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			just do it,
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			just do it. We always have the desire
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			to have that knowledge, but sometimes it might
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:55
			not be beneficial to us to focus on
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			this as much as knowing that in the
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:58
			moment, all what I need to do is
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			this, so I'll do it and trust Allah
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with the consequences
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:03
			and the results.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			It's interesting because
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			the whole is the kaba. Yep. Right? Mhmm.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:14
			It's you can't read the qadr based upon
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			how overwhelming the kaba is. Right? So you're
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			so overwhelmed by the appearance of things, and
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			it's so dramatic. Right? You're on a ship,
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			and it's drowning. Mhmm. There's a child dying.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			Mhmm. How can you possibly, like, even begin
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			to to read into the estimation of all
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			of this and and the qadr of this.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			Right? So you can't come to terms with
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			qaba if you don't trust the Qadr, which
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			is, of course, the ruleahi khaki. Right? The
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			the secret of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			that that requires, of course,
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			a a great amount of meaning, not necessary
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			knowledge.
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			A great amount of meaning. Yeah. And basically
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:48
			what does that mean? Sometimes you'll find people
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			have, masha Allah, great degrees in Islamic studies,
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			but in a moment of calamity,
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			when their qad the iman of al qadr
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			is very weak,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			that knowledge becomes nothing. Mashallah. But you have
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			an average person who has no educate, no
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			Islamic education whatsoever,
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			but their iman in Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			gives them that meaning to everything they see
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:10
			and and and I I love to use
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			the expression Subhanahu, they see beauty in the
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			middle of chaos.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			They said that beauty that beauty in the
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			middle of that that chaos. The parents that
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			Allah Subhanahu wa'anahu spoke about in the story
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			of Khadir and Musa, he says
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			The reason why these parents they moved on,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			they're not
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			uh-uh stayed you know,
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:30
			kinda holding themselves
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			hostage to that moment of loss and grief.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			It's because they knew that Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			Ta'ala has a plan for them.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			That strength of Iman
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			made them move on, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			has Hikmah wisdom which was revealed to us
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:46
			in the Quran in the Surah that Allah
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:48
			was preparing a better child for them,
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			that child could actually cause them pain, but
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			another child would be better for them and
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			Allah did that for them Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:55
			They didn't know,
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			but just the fact that they trusted Allah's
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			judgment Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said they were they
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			were able to find beauty
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			in the middle of this chaos completely.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			That's amazing.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			I mean, when you hear now with
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			the with the children that are dying, and
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			the lazah right now, and, you know, when
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			you're talking about meaning, I love how you
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			mentioned that because, you know, you find fulfillment
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			in knowing and that's sukina and trust in
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			Allah, subhanahu wa'ala, that you won't find anywhere
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			else because you can't rely ultimately on anything
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			else.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			When Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, within the sharia
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			that the children will be in Jannah, insha'Allah.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			Even with our reality as human beings, there's
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:31
			a time frame to mourn.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			Allah doesn't deny our humanity,
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			but there still is a level of responsibility
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:38
			in regards to the grand scheme of things.
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:40
			And that what's makes it so beautiful when
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			the time of calamity comes, you know,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:44
			when you have to take a step back
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			and really realize, okay, what matters? Okay. Al
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			Khaliq is the one that gave this child
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:48
			to me.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			And
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:51
			was
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			You know, that's a beautiful statement when you
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			think about it. You know, it's amazing is,
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:58
			when you look at Musa, alayhis salaam,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			his life, what a life, like, subhanallah, like,
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:02
			what a life, what how many twists and
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:04
			turns can a man have in his own
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:05
			life. Right? So he starts off
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			I mean, he wakes up to a reality
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			where he's, like, in the Nile River. What
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			is a baby thinking
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			in a river looking around? Like, what's happening
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			here? In the middle of strangers. In the
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			middle of strangers in the Nile river. And
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			then how does his life end? He's prohibited
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			from entering into Jerusalem Subhanallah. Despite being Kalimullah.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			Yeah. And he you know, the one Allah
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			spoke to directly, and so he dies
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:29
			tahtakathib al Ahmar. Right? He's he's he's buried
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			just in the wilderness, right, in in a
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:32
			random,
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			desert, right under a particular red dune the
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:37
			prophet mentions. Like, what a like, it's always,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:38
			like,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			this complete submission to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:42
			whether you like it or not. Right? You
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			have to submit to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			But Mhmm. With that being said, you know,
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:48
			when the prophet, salAllahu alayhi wa sallam, mentions
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:50
			that we have more right to ask,
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			you know, the way Ibrahim, alayhi, salam, asked
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			the lost, when he asked the lost, I
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:55
			give him a sign,
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			for ziadatil iman, for the increase in faith.
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			But the prophets before,
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			there's this constant growth. Of course, Ibrahim did
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			not go from a place of having no
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			faith
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			to having faith. No. It was increasing his
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			yaqeen, increasing his certainty with the faith that
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			was already there.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			With Musa, alayhis salam, this whole thing with
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			al Khadr happens later in his life. Yeah.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			This is after he's seen
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			the snake.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:21
			This is after he's seen
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			the sign in his hands. This is after
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			he's seen, you know,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			the the sea split
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			and and take away this vicious tyrant. He's
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:32
			seen it all, right? Mhmm. And still despite
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:33
			having seen it all,
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			Qatar requires just a level of taslim. It
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			recovers it it requires a level of just
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			submission. Like, I just don't know. You know?
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			So I still can't even at that point
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:44
			in his life,
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			he's still growing. Right? And and, of course,
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			he's at a level of infallibility
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			as a prophet of Allah before that, but
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			he's still growing, subhanAllah, even in those moments
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			and appreciation of Allah's Qadr. You know, Sheikh
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			Subhan, adding to this this issue is that,
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			like, when Musa alayhi salaam, of course he,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala brought him first
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03
			to the prophethood,
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			it's not like,
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			every Nabi has his own way was introduced
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			to the mission, right? Musa alaihi wasalam came
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			with this huge shock obviously,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			he sees a fire in the desert so
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:14
			he goes to check it out and he
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			wants to see some, guidance there and so
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			Analayhi gave him divine guidance.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:20
			And then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told him
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			to first of all when he started hearing
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			the words of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala speaking
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:27
			to him, he ran away and Allah says,
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			irmja come back, don't be afraid.
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			That my messages are not shouldn't be scared
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			like this. So he came back and he
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			starts speaking to his Lord Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			and then Allah just was testing him, he
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			says look what do you have in your
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:39
			hand?
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			He saw the staff, he said that's my
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			staff, okay well put your hand there and
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			see what's gonna come out of it.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:46
			Allah gave him
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			the proof and the evidence and the ultimate
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			knowledge
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			that,
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:53
			that look
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			you have miracles, you have power in your
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			hand right now.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:58
			But still though he never stopped desiring to
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			know more.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			So the moment the moment he thought he
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			had all the knowledge he needed, and he
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			realized now, Sadal, no there is someone who
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			knows more than you. Yeah. Okay. Now that
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			gives me a moment of okay,
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			of probably as a human being, natural human
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			being, give me an anxiety.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:15
			Because now I don't know I don't know
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			everything anymore.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			Suddenly right now I need to know more.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			So you go to that Al Khadar and
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			he demands I want to learn from you.
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			And Al Khadar told him like look what
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			I what I know it's not gonna be
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			beneficial to you, you have your your your
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			thing to do, I have my thing to
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			do. He goes, no I wanna learn from
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:30
			you.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			And he tried and I don't wanna say
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			he failed in that that actually the three
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			the three terms
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			but at least we learned we learned a
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			huge lesson that subhanAllah,
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			no matter how knowledgeable you are Right. We
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			will always desire to know more. And the
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			prophet wished he was more patient. Absolutely. And
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			he even said because we would have got
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:51
			even more. We would learn, we would have
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			learned more as well too. So we always
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			desire to learn more because we think that
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			that knowledge is gonna give us that certainty,
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			the ultimate certainty
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			that will give us would put us at
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			ease. But still, even Ambia they wanted to
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			learn more. And even the story of of
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			Mariam when she was giving birth to Isa
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07
			Alaihi
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			Salam, I wish I was I was never
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			there, this has never happened to me. Even
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			though she's already been given the divine knowledge,
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:18
			that you are gonna be carrying a baby
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19
			and she did without being touched by a
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:21
			man. So this is miraculous.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			So all of this, but still we're human
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			beings, that element of knowing more, put us
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			at ease and I think it is tied
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28
			to Al Qadr,
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			because I wish I know where my Qadr
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			is. Mhmm. And if Allah has given you
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			all the answers already then you would be
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37
			living in Jannah, not here. Ma'am,
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			you got any 32nd last words or you
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41
			This is a beautiful statement.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			Right? The one that keeps looking at the
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			others is like the one that looks at
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			the sun. You cannot fully understand it, and
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			it could even be dangerous to you. So
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			it's just I had the taslim just submitting
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:59
			And it's interesting because you keep talking about
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:00
			knowledge of the future.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:02
			If Maryam knew
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			that her name would be in Quran
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			Mhmm. A chapter named after her and the
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:10
			legend that would come after in those moments,
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			Mhmm. It would have certainly made it a
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:14
			lot easier to go through that. That's right.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:15
			So when she says,
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:17
			I
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			wish I was forgotten.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			The whole You mentioned that there's a whole
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:24
			chapter
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			Amazing. So knowing the future would definitely make
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29
			it easier, but alhamdulillah,
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			we we know the one who knows the
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:33
			past, the present, and the future, and we
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			trust him. May Allah make us amongst those
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			people.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			Make us amongst those people who submit themselves
