Yasir Qadhi – Quranic Duas – Ramadan Khatirahs 2019 – Episode 15

			Hello hypocotyl
		

			continuing in our series on Torah today I have chosen two hours that are relatively rare. Most of us
have probably never heard of them, even though they're in the Quran. And the first of them is from
the tongue of Ibrahim alayhis salam, and the second is from the tongue of Musa alayhis salaam. So we
have two daughters that have very similar meanings. And as I said, these are rare in the sense most
people have never really contemplated and understood them. And in fact, we have narrations from the
tab Bureau and they're asking the Sahaba What are these do i mean they didn't understand the meaning
of these doors. So they're very interesting to us. The first of them that start with chronological
		

			in terms of the Quran, it says sudo Yunus verse 85, to 86, when Musa was rushing away from Freetown
and ferons army was behind they made a dua to Allah robina Lata jalna fitna tell little wholemeal
volume in our law do not make us a fitna for the wrongdoers. Don't make the Muslims a test under
trial for the wrong doors. What does it mean that the Muslims are saying Don't make us a fit enough
for the volume people for the wrong people? Let's move to the second law which is similar in meaning
and it is Ibrahim alayhis. Salam and his followers. They're making a dua remember Ibrahim and his
followers that were being persecuted by the king and the rulers of their time. So they said Rob
		

			benedetta Jelena fitna Lila Dena cafaro Allah do not make us a fitna for the disbelievers. So we
have to do is that really have the same meaning. Don't make us a test and a trial a source of fitna
for those that have rejected you. What does it mean that you're asking Allah that we do not become a
test for the castle that the janitor fitted a little dinakar for that edge? Allah fit that a little
more volume? What does this mean? Some of the Sahaba were asked the same question the tabular and
couldn't understand. So we actually have a number of interpretations. All of them are valid. As you
know, the Quran comes with multiple meanings is not just one meaning, and wherever we can
		

			accommodate more meanings, we accommodate them. So even though there's more today we'll summarize
three meanings. What does it mean? Oh, Allah Don't make us a fit enough for those that have rejected
you don't make us a fit enough for those that are doing wrong. The first meaning, the first meaning
or law, don't punish us at their hands. Don't cause those who reject you to test us. So frown is
behind Musan his father's saying Oh Allah, don't let your adult come through them on us. Don't use
them, oh, Allah, don't cause them to punish us to kill us to torture us. What if Allah they were to
capture us, and they then test us and we don't pass that test. So don't make us a test for them. Let
		

			the judge know fitna 10, little homeadvisor mean. So this is a very clear meaning that Oh Allah,
whatever you do, don't cause them to win over us, destroy us, torture us persecute us don't cause
the test to be through them. Another meaning. And this is very interesting. And I chose these doors
because we are living in a minority amongst a non Muslim land. So these doors are very interesting,
where they're coming from the second meaning listen to this, oh, Allah do not allow the cafeteria or
the volume to see something in us that causes him or her to reject Islam.
		

			Think about what I just said, Oh, Allah, do not make us a cause of other people rejecting Islam.
What if I do something? And because of me, my reputation, my shady, my phoron my law school stuff
for a law but what if I stopped for the law give a bad image of my nebby in front of the one who
doesn't know who my Navy is. So a lot Don't make me a fit enough for the coffee. Don't make me a fit
enough for the volume that he will say on Judgement Day over law. The only Muslim I knew was so and
so. And look at what he did. Look at what his character was, look at what he or she did. So it's not
my fault. I assume this person represents Islam. So the dawn is made. Lotta Jana fitna tell Idina
		

			cafaro. So this is a reminder to us to be role models, to reminder to us that it is possible that on
judgment day, some people will try to use us as an excuse that Oh Allah, I never heard of Islam, and
so and so work with us and he was a cheat, he was a crook. He was a liar. He was this and that. And
I thought, if this is the fate that leads to this, why should I think about this faith? So we pray
to Allah Nottage adna, fitna 10, little coal mill caffeine, we don't want to be a fitna to those
people that the we will be
		

			Common Test for them that they will check the validity of Islam through our actions. What if we
fail, so don't make us like that, Oh Allah. So this is an incentive for us to raise the bar to make
sure that we are representative of our faith. And the third and final meaning that we will do. And
there are more meanings in the books of Tafseer. And I found this very interesting. I looked up a
number of classical works today doing the research for our healthcare today and just to see what our
classical scholars said, and I was really, I have to say I was tickled by this in a humorous manner
explain why the books I referenced, which is even though Josie is at the mercy written almost 1000
		

			years ago, and other classical books, they were written at a time when the Muslim world was superior
to the non Muslim world, technologically, politically, militarily, when the Muslim world ruled over
the rest of the world. And they gave a hypothetical interpretation that we are currently living
right now. They gave a hypothetical interpretation that Oh Allah, don't make us lesser than
civilization wise, those disbelievers because what if our failure to be a better civilization
technologically, militarily to be in our in our vernacular, our GDP is less? Or what if somebody
says, oh, the number of Nobel Prize winners of Muslim lands is less right. So we are, quote unquote,
		

			lesser than them. So then they will say, Oh, these are backward people, their religion must be
backward as well. This is a hypothetical tafsir, written of the ayah at a time when the Muslim Ummah
was superior in every single regard. And they said one of the meanings of this drop that Oh Allah do
not make us failures, even in this dunya because the failure ship in this dunya will be interpreted
by them as an excuse to be a failure in what in our,
		

			in our religion, and Subhanallah we are currently one aspect of it. One aspect of it this
hypothetical Tafseer, written 1000 years ago, they couldn't imagine a world like that. But they
said, this is one drop that will always make us the better of them, and Subhanallah how the tables
have changed. And this is not the time to go into this tangent, but all of you are aware and there
is truth to this. This isn't a romanticized nostalgic, back reading of history. It is true that for
1000 years, the Muslim omo was technologically superior to every other civilization, the first
person who translated the Quran into Latin, he was robbed Roger of Catan from England, he had gone
		

			to andaluz to study medicine, and he was studying medicine and the pope visited and the Pope said I
want to find somebody who speaks fluent Arabic, and can translate the Quran. So this medical student
who had come listen to this from England, where did he go to to study medicine and Telos? Where do
we go to study medicine these days? Where do we go to the MCAT to go to our residency where which
where the table has turned right? This was a britisher, who had come to Toledo later to study
medicine. And he was had to learn Arabic to go into the medical college. And he's reading the books
of classics you all know, it been seen as an Khaldoon. Philip was the one of the first books
		

			translated and became a medical textbook for 300 years, so much so that the title itself our noon
film clip, it became a word in English the word canon, which means a canon of laws comes from the
Kowloon urban scene, the word canon is because of urban Sienna, and all of the other stuff we've
heard of how what is mean algebra, although it is the Arabic numerals all of this is true. And I
found it so ironic. You can see my sense of humor here, some of our classical ruler ma said, This,
drop that Yagna fitness a little COVID caffeine in this drop the Latina cafaro this Dora, one of the
meanings, this, Oh Allah, we should be better than them in every aspect, because of failure in one
		

			aspect is possibly interpreted as a failure of the deen. And we don't want to be like that. And they
were writing at different times. And now the tables have turned. However, the truth of a religion is
not based on GDP. It is true that some people interpreted that way. And it is true that the caffeine
and the body mean make fun of our faith and say, Oh, these guys, they have poor gdps these guys have
few, you know, Nobel Prize winners, etc, etc. But the truth of religion is not based on this. It is
based on answering the critical questions of life who created you? Where are you from? What is the
purpose of life as well? Let's put GDP aside Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah, in terms of in terms of
		

			hospitality, in terms of respect of the elder in terms of some of the basic values of humanity
Alhamdulillah it is well known. The Muslim Ummah is the most generous this has been proven
demographically, the Muslim Ummah gives the most
		

			garetty the Muslim woman is the most charitable the Muslim oma is the most faithful in terms of
believing in God in terms of observing the rituals. The very fact that every mosque in the world is
packed to capacity every single night of this month even though tomorrow morning all of us have to
go to work the very fact that a man is thriving and alive when he man and other faith traditions is
going down. These are the signs of a true religion, not GDP. It is good if we had the GDP it is good
if we had the Nobel Prize and once upon a time we did for over 1000 years we don't have it anymore
but I've been a lotta Jana fitness a little home in London a couple and also have been added
		

			language and fitness a little formula volume in this is why we should make continuously as a
minority situation. We don't want to be a fit in a test in a trial for those that have rejected
Islam. We don't want them to reject Islam, because of us, our clock and our morality and our code of
conduct always has to be the best so that they cannot use us as an excuse to reject our faith. So
memorize this draw from the tongues of Musa and Ibrahim alayhis Salam robina Allah Tatiana fitness
little homie vada mean and Robin, Tatiana fitness, Linda, Dina kafu and inshallah we'll continue
tomorrow's
